    Our 2 year old Husky is loving and calm until his brother visits and food issues lead to fighting and vet bills.
    Ryan came to visit our whole family, including a grandson with a new puppy. Ryan patiently and clearly used videos and explanations of dog instinct and demonstrations of memory building BB technique to help us reestablish good people behavior..talking "dog" and being leaders for all our canines on a consistent basis. It is fun to implement Barkbusters philosophy and simple habits with our pack.
    We feel much more confident that we can resolve the food aggression and manage problem situations. Thank you Ryan..the Pierces.

    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!!!

    Photo of Kevin I have a 13-week-old Westie puppy named Kevin with a habit of play biting, nipping and chewing. Ryan came out to the house for Kevin's first lesson two days ago and I now have a completely different dog. Ryan showed me how to go from being Kevin's littermate to being the pack leader which eliminated the biting and chewing on my clothing and skin. As Kevin is still so young, we will be addressing additional behaviors as he gets older and the lifetime guarantee will enable us to do that--whether it is six months or six years from now. It has only been a couple of days but I am so happy with the results!

    If there were 6 stars, Ryan would get them! Are you kidding me??? Brilliant in it's simplicity. Super easy to implement. INSTANT (and I mean instant) results. Look, if you're reading this review it's probably because, like me, you did the puppy/dog training class cha-cha with treats, clickers, etc. Sure, that works fine as long as you have treats and clickers but, what happens when you don't? And, like me, you probably went through multiple weeks of group classes only to learn that the results are just okay. In one meeting, he rocked these dogs (and my life) with simple, straight-forward and permanent changes to their behaviors. It costs and it was worth every penny.

    Ryan was very personable, knowledgeable and professional. My two dogs responded immediately to Ryan's methods.

    Photo of Angus, Declan, Olivia and Ophelia 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!

    Photo of Zuma 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 amazing! Within one session our 10 month old puppy was a different dog. We had tried many months of puppy school with a different type of training and it never worked. We had problems with jumping, mouthing, leash pulling, begging at the table, getting on furniture, chasing the cat etc. and unless I had a stash of hot dogs on hand she wouldn't do what I wanted. The Bark Busters approach is totally different and works immediately! Ryan is wonderful at explaining the principles and practices, demonstrating them and teaching you how to do it. It's very straight forward and easy to do. I am truly amazed at how wonderful our puppy is now! Worth every penny.
