Ryan and Bark Busters definitely get a five star rating from my family! And the most amazing thing is that you see results with the first visit. We now can have family and friends over without our dogs barking and jumping up on them to greet them. Our walks with our dogs have greatly improved and are much more enjoyable. Our 3 year old female was starting to bully our other dog and this has also stopped. Thank you Ryan!
Ryan provided us with a wealth of information and resources. First, he taught us a foundation for successful communication with our pup. Then, we saw immediate change once Ryan began to implement his techniques. Overall, we're very grateful and I would highly recommend!
Ryan is the best! My son’s dogs were in desperate need of the right training for barking, pulling on the leashes, jumping up, etc. etc. etc., and Ryan provided that training to the dogs and to us! It’s been eight days since our meeting and it’s been eight days of seeing vast changes in the dogs behaviors. Wow! Walks are pleasant, no tugging and pulling, no barking and whining at rabbit sightings, and for the most part, no barking and jumping around when passing other dogs. We’re almost there. Thank you Ryan. We couldn’t have done this without you. You are worth every cent. And more!
Ryan is great. My dog Thunder is already realizing he is not in charge but a loved and welcome underling between me and him. He is changing positively and quickly even after the initial visit. Ryan took time to work at Thunder's problems over jumping, nipping, lunging and not obeying. Thunder was very responsive to Ryan and we are now on the right track to happy dog and owner. Thank you
Ryan is a MIRACLE WORKER! Our older dog, Misty, was born on the streets of Oman in the Middle East. She was physically abused and abandoned. Her only interaction with other dogs was to be aggressive and fight. We got a new puppy, Theodore, and wanted to make sure to introduce them properly, as we feared Misty would continue to be anxious and aggressive towards him. Ryan taught us how to speak our dog’s language in a matter of minutes, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! Misty is now playful and comfortable with Theodore after years of never getting along with other dogs. Like I said before, Ryan is a MIRACLE WORKER!
Thank you Ryan you gave our dog Bandit the opportunity to remain in our home. We had about given up on him as his barking was a real problem for us. We contacted another trainer who came to our house to demonstrate their methods of training. They tried a bark collar and our dog got zapped and was terrified. We decided that we could not subject our pet to that so decided we would try to live with his behavior. When I ran across the ad for Bark Stoppers i could not believe that he could reform our Bandit but after the first visit and three weeks ro practice Bandit was so much easier to be around and the barking was about 90 percent improved . What a difference ! The next visit Ryan worked with us on how to make Bandit fun to walk with. Thanks Ryan your teaching was well worth what we spent.

We have put up with our dogs problems for several years. Ryan in a 2 hour session showed us what we needed to do in order to get their attention & correct their behavioral problems. We are now in control.
Our Dog's (Riley) primary issues were charging the door when the door bell rang, and fence fighting with the neighbor dogs. After the first lesson, all this stopped. We had some minor corrections to make after that day but these behavior issues were basically solved. All corrections were either sound based, or collar based and very humane and effective. On our second meeting, Riley was a bit afraid of Ryan, but Ryan adapted a more coaching style to put him at ease. Within about 10 minutes he was better, especially when we went outside. We worked on refinement of walking, and recall. It was the best training session we've ever had with Riley. We've been to two different dog trainers and courses in the past. This did provide some great foundations for his training. However, we got amazing, personalized training right in our house with Ryan.. with immediate results. As you would expect, much of the training is pack leader training (for us) and consistency. Ryan did a great job of pointing out small changes that have great impact. We have an even better, happier dog now. Thanks Ryan.
Two years ago for Christmas, we decided to rescue a puppy from the Humane Society. Neither of us had ever had a dog, but we thought we'd surprise our three kids.
Being new to dog owning, we knew nothing. So - we enrolled in puppy classes. Our dog had made it through two puppy classes and through the Neo Dog 1 and Neo Dog 2 class with this other company that used a treat-based/clicker-based training system. Upon graduating NeoDog 2, our dog was still highly anxious, barked incessantly, couldn't make it down the end of our driveway on a leash and had accidents all over the house. I reached out to our original training company for help and was told that we just needed to be more consistent. Our dog refused to come in the house when we let her out unless she could visibly see us holding hot dogs and other treats, so we spent hours begging, yelling, pleading for her to stop barking and come inside and clicking like a lunatic.
We contacted the other dog trainer and told him we would like to re-home our dog. Thank God he didn't write back.
We kept our terrible dog and found a review of Bark Busters on a Facebook group. I called and heard the price and said, "No way we're paying that for dog training...we've already paid over $400 and nothing works."
Our neighbor stopped by that week and as we chased our dog away from him he shouted over the barking, "Your dog makes Marley (from Marley and Me) seem like an easy dog."
Two weeks later, we called BarkBusters back after reading more reviews. We were desperate to fix our dog.
When Ryan came in to our house, our dog, as always, barked incessantly. Ryan said, "Look - I have kids and I have dogs. That doesn't bother me, but if you want her stop barking so we can get through this presentation, just let me know." My husband and I laughed and said, "She never stops barking...trust us...we've been trying for two years." Ryan walked over, used the BarkBusters training system and our dog literally has stopped barking since.
Before the first session was finished, we had a brand new dog. (Well - actually - WE just knew what to do now, but if felt like we had a brand new dog.)
BarkBusters training works like magic. It is absolutely worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY. We would pay it again 3 times over because we have a new dog that we love and adore...no hot dogs or clickers required. :)
Our dog doesn't bark now. She doesn't jump on the furniture unless we invite her up. She walks next to us on a leash (we can actually take her outside now).
We had company over last week...she greeted them politely, left them alone until called over and didn't jump or bark. Since Ryan has been here - our dog hasn't had a single accident in the house.
We are absolutely amazed. Ryan is real, he's personable, he's got a great sense of humor. He makes the training concise and to the point. We 100% recommend BarkBusters to anyone looking for help for their dog.
