After researching training options for my new puppy I’m happy that I chose Bark Busters and Ryan. He came to my home and taught me how to communicate with my dog in a way that he understands, I saw results immediately and was amazed at how quickly Keko responded when I changed my approach with him. Ryan has helped me learn how to adjust my behavior in a way that my puppy understands and responds to. Our second session was a good reminder and reinforcement of the tools and lessons that Ryan teaches. Keko has gone from running from me to coming to me on command, he behaves better on our walks and with other family members, It’s encouraging to know that I can continue to work with Ryan as needed. It’s been a pleasure working with him and the amount of knowledge he shares is very useful and insightful. Highly recommend!!
Ryan gave us results with both of our dogs the very first day!! We were struggling with new people entering our home and not getting barked at or bombarded with jumping and aggression!He gave us skills that worked right out the gate! We also have been able to take them on walks without fear of barking at other dogs or the constant pulling!! The skills we have learned are invaluable and has made all of us much happier humans and pups!!
I hired Bark Busters 12 years ago, and my dog passed away in 2024, but I wanted to leave a second review after all this time. After I learned to speak his language, Maxx and I had many peaceful years and he lived a happy life. The skills Ryan taught me are so valuable, and continue to positively affect my life. I am not afraid when I encounter dogs in the world and am teaching my daughter the right way to act to avoid issues with them. I still believe hiring Bark Busters was the best decision and worth every penny.
Ryan was amazing with educating us on K-9 communication and techniques of how to retrain him. Luca was a rescue with severe anxiety and fear of men, children and other animals which he acted out with severe aggression. Within minutes, Ryan started his transformation and it was simply bewildering to watch! Luca’s change is ongoing, his behavior is so different. We are so thankful for his guidance!!!
My dogs weren't necessarily "problem dogs" but we did have some small issues that could be super annoying. Because our second dog was a pandemic puppy and he had never known life without someone in the house (and had some anxiety issues) I had thought about getting some dog training, but wasn't ready to commit because of the cost of everything. Well, we were able to see the results of Ryan's first session with a dog-friend, and the difference in that dog's behavior encouraged me to pull the plug. I am SO glad I did! Our first session went really well. The dogs responded well and we were able to learn techniques that are easy to follow through on. However, it was our second session that blew me away! In just one hour I went from thinking I'd always have my two dogs pulling on their leashes, to being able to walk both dogs on a loose leash and have them remain at my side or behind me. I was STUNNED! and SO excited! There's no secret product or crazy voodoo, Ryan just teaches you how to communicate clearly with your dog (and all dogs). I am so excited. Other benefits that we've seen is that our puppy who was anxious around all strangers has calmed down significantly and both dogs actually pay attention to me when I give them commands.
I can't recommend Ryan and his services enough!
Astounded. That is the word we would use to describe the change in Tanks behavior. In a single session with Ryan, we had a totally different dog! Tank was very anxious around other people and would bark aggressively and had even bitten someone. After Ryan taught us how to communicate with Tank in a way he understands, he is now calm and relaxed. It is amazing! I can’t recommend this training method, and Ryan, enough!! And the lifetime training is a huge bonus. Ryan is very responsive and available to help as new issues arise. BarkBusters is the best thing we have ever done for our dog and family.
I have to admit that I was a little skeptical that this training would work for my 2 year old rescue, but it did! I waited a few months after calling Bark Busters, because I thought it was too expensive. However, my dog's barking and anxiety got worse, so I decided to bite the bullet and make an appointment with Ryan. BEST MOVE EVER AND WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!! The appointment was 3 hours. Most of the appointment was educating me on "speaking dog" and nutrition. Then we put my new tactics into action. My dog responded immediately and it is SOOOOO EASY!!!!! We only had to ring the doorbell 3 different times and my dog was cured of barking at the doorbell and charging to the door. It sounds unbelievable and it is!!!! Now when my doorbell rings, my dog might bark once to alert me, but he doesn't charge the door at all. GAME CHANGER!!!! The stress level of people coming over is gone! My dog is well behaved and even listens great in the car. NO MORE JUMPING in the front seat while I am driving. He sits in the back like a good dog. Ryan is coming back in a few weeks for a follow up. I can't imagine my dog getting even better, because now he is PERFECT in my eyes! Thank you Ryan for changing our family dynamics. NO MORE STRESS because of the dog here! The Schulte Family household is a lot more balanced because of you!!!
Ryan helped with me SO MUCH with my dog, Emmy! Emmy had some minor issues in our home and we were able to get them fixed right away with Ryan’s help. With the lifetime warranty, I am able to contact Ryan for whatever I need in the future - including working on outdoor behaviors too! He came prepared, was willing and open to working through these issues, and was such a great mentor. Would HIGHLY recommend!
I have been around dogs professionally for over 29+ years with my late husband being a veterinarian and our owning 2 Animal Hospitals. We saw many dogs with behavior problems. Our clients tried various types of training methods and trainers. Occasionally, we would see improvement, but it took a long long time. We did not know about Bark Busters. My current husband and I have a new imported German Shepherd. He is struggling with intense fear of people that come into our home. He is over all obedient and barks in situations when appropriate, It appears that during transport to the United States he was abused. (we and our family have purchased other Shepherds from this facility and did not encounter this problem). After our first meeting with Ryan we started to learn to "speak dog" . WOW, Jonko is a different dog after just one session. This training has also helped us to speak dog to our other old Shepherd and our 2 little Yorkies. Our home is already so much more peaceful! We are excited to be on this "Bark Buster" journey with Ryan. Words cannot express how grateful we are to be working with Ryan!! My heart hurt for Jonko because of his intense fear, now I am excited for him. He will have a happy, peaceful, and confidant life. We have now had our 2nd session and Jonko is doing amazing!! I feel Jonko and I understand each other. I wish I had known over the years how to "speak dog" to my many past pup family members. THANK YOU Ryan!!!!!I You are a God send!!!
