    Heather has been amazing!!
    We have two 9 month old pit mix puppies (brother and sister) I can't say enough about her professilalizem. I have texted her many times with new concerns and questions. She has always replied promptly and has even come the next day to teach us new techniques.
    She has helped us to be able to really enjoy our new family members.
    We couldn't have done it without her.

    Our German Shepherd, Nancy, was starting to fight with her brother. She was very aggressive with visitors and they both pulled so badly on the leash we couldn't walk them. We were referred to Heather and Bark Buster's by our vet for their behavioral problems. Whitney was so helpful. She answered all our MANY questions and was flexible with our schedule. Heather spent the first part of the lesson asking us questions and helping us make a plan for each dog. We decided it would be best to train both dogs so we could establish leadership in the household. She worked with each dog individually and then together. We were walking them both on a loose leash by the end of the first lesson! I could not believe the difference in Nancy. Both dogs were exhausted and slept the rest of the day. We have daily exercises for both that are quick and easy. We could not be more pleased with the results. Heather followed up with us a few days ago to check the progress and is coming for a revisit next week. Thank you so much Heather and Whitney for your help with this process. We're looking forward to seeing the continued progress with our pups.

    My Labradoodle Ozzie has such high energy. He's impossible to walk because he pulls so hard and wants to meet every dog he sees. He barks and jumps on guests constantly. I wanted to fix this behavior before the Thanksgiving and Christmas parties. Then I found Bark Buster's! Their training is exactly what I was looking for. They are in- home trainers that use a holistic approach. No harsh devices and NO treat training. We had a previous trainer who used treats and that didn't work for long. The first visit went great! Heather explained everything and took a detailed history on Ozzie. He was 80% improved after just a couple hours. I couldn't believe the difference! AND they offer a lifetime guarantee of support. So if he has any more behavioral issues, she will come back at no extra cost! I couldn't be happier with the new and improved Oz

    We highly recommend Heather! When our puppy, George was 10 months old we went with a different trainer and George did good. But overtime he went back to his old ways. We hired Heather when George was 3 years old. We were so surprised how quickly her training methods were working. Heather came to our house for 3 lessons and we are so happy with the results!
    George loves Heather & we wish we had hired her earlier.

    We have 3 crazy energetic boxers (all rescues). When we moved into our new home last year one of our fur babies started getting aggressive with guests who visited the house. We were very concerned. We called to get more info and Whitney talked us through the entire program and was so nice. Heather came to our house and worked with all the dogs. She taught us how to stop the anxiety and bad behavior. I knew training was going to help but I didn’t realize we would see such drastic results from just 2 visits! The price for all three dogs was lower than I expected too! There’s just an extra fee per dog instead of having to pay full price for each dog. We highly recommend

    Heather is a true professional. Not only is she personable and knowledgeable in training our pups, you can tell that she loves her job. I highly recommend that you contact her for whatever training needs you may have. Both of our pups' behavior has improved tremendously even after only "two" sessions. Under her guidance, it wont be long before our fur babies will be perfect angels-- well, as perfect as they can be at least :)

    Heather is an amazing trainer. We are first time dog owners of a 7 month old Cane Corso which means we have a lot of questions. Heather is very quick at responding to all inquiries that we present to her whether it’s through email, text message or phone calls. The training sessions are informative and never feel rushed. We are very grateful for all of the support that she has provided thus far.

    Heather was great. She worked with my rescue and he's so much calmer now. We rescued him a couple of months ago and he had some separation anxiety that made him claw the floor at the front door. He almost made it to the subfloor. Heather worked with him and us and he's so much better ❤️. She's coming back next week to make sure he's all better and more settled. That is some wonderful customer service. I'm so grateful

    Heather did a wonderful job training my Dixie Lou! We always have difficulty walking her. She pulls constantly and is reactive to other dogs. We saw a massive improvement after the home visit. We're putting in the work and it shows. Highly recommend!!
