Theresa is like the dog whisperer! She is very passionate about dogs and helped us with our German short-haired pointer as soon as she arrived! Very informative and helped us understand how to communicate with our puppy with some immediate results. Absolutely recommend some professional help, especially with a puppy; Theresa will not disappoint!
I have seen so much improvement in my dog, Emma. We adopted her from a shelter and in the time she was there she developed a lot of bad habits that were so hard to break that it became beyond me to fix. My boyfriend and I were at our last end with her when we reached out to Theresa. Emma is also training to be a service dog for me so a lot of these training exercises were so crucial for her to learn and perfect before we could continue. Before the training she would jump on people, wouldn’t come to us when we called her, would chew everything up that we owned, would go absolutely ballistic in her kennel when we left, would use the bathroom in the house, and would pull on her leash so hard I would lose circulation in my hand trying to control her. 3 1/2 weeks in and she hasn’t destroyed anything, she doesn’t pull anymore, she walks right at my side, the jumping is minimal, the attention seeking is minimal, she doesn’t bolt out the door and waits for us to call her out the door, the kennel anxiety has dramatically decreased, and we can finally look away from her for 2 seconds without being terrified that she’s going to mess something up or get herself in trouble and we can finally relax. She’s so much more enjoyable to be around now and I think she’s more relaxed as well and she even seems so much happier with us.
Theresa is great!! She has taught me so much about dog behavior and I already see improvements. She’s so friendly and very clear on instructions! We will meet again in four weeks and I can’t wait to see my dogs further improvements!
Great day of training! We learned a lot! We learned how to be a pack leader with Louie! Thank you Theresa! She was very knowledgeable! We look forward to seeing you again next month!
Bark Busters has helped us drastically with our life with Jett. It’s still a work in progress but we’ve made so many great steps towards a wonderful relationship with him and a healthy lifestyle for ourselves. Highly recommend
Sure a wonderful experience. Within minutes, we could already see changes in our puppies behavior. Theresa was very patient with us, even when our other dog tried to crash the lesson! All 3 of our dogs and we learned so many helpful things today!
Even after our very first lesson with Theresa I am already seeing changes in my dog. She was patient with not only my dog but also with me. She understood what my dog has been trying to tell me for 2 years. After one lesson some of my anxiety over taking my dog outside is relieved. She used to bark at everyone, pull me around, and wanted me to follow her lead. I am already seeing positive changes, and cannot wait to continue working with her. If I am seeing these changes in less than 12 hours, I can only imagine the progress that will happen with us continuing to work.
Theresa Nichols has gone over and above anything that a trainer should be expected to do. Bibi has an intense fear and obsession about getting in any moving vehicle. She is only 18 months old, but is over 100 lbs and has learned that she can break away from anyone attempting to get her in a vehicle. After two sessions this became obvious to Theresa who took over and saw that BiBi was encouraged to jump into the car with lots of firm commands, and then love and praise. It is a start and more than we ever expected. We will continue to practice and hopefully with Theresa's help, encouragement and direction we will turn Bibi's obsession into a pleasure. I could not recommend Theresa's more. She is committed to the animal and it's well being as well as being a well mannered member of the family. Thank you, thank you Theresa!!

Theresa is amazing. My Mulan *pit/lab responded well with some the training done tonight. I am going to become the pack leader not Mulan.
