    Photo of Juniper and Oreo Working with Omar has been an eye‑opening and genuinely transformative experience for our family. He didn’t just help us address our dog’s behavioral challenges — he helped us understand why those behaviors were happening in the first place. Omar opened our minds to a completely new way of seeing our relationship with our dog and how we communicate with her.

    His calm, clear guidance gave us the confidence we needed to fully commit to helping her grow, adjust, and ultimately live in harmony with our other pets. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, we now feel empowered and connected, and we’re already seeing meaningful progress.

    If you’re looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, patient, and truly invested in helping you build a better relationship with your dog, Omar is the one. We couldn’t recommend him more.

    Photo of Lucky We have had such a wonderful experience with Bark Busters Dakota County, and especially with Omar. He has been working with our German Shepherd puppy, Lucky, since he was just 10 weeks old and now at 6 months, the progress has been incredible.

    Omar doesn't just train Lucky, he helps our entire family understand his needs so we can become the best dog parents we can be. His guidance has been calm, thoughtful, and incredibly effective, and it’s given us so much confidence as we raise a high energy, intelligent puppy.

    The lifetime support alone makes this service more than worth the investment, and knowing we can continue to lean on Omar as Lucky grows is such a gift. We are truly grateful for the care, expertise, and heart he brings to his work. He really is a dog whisperer! We couldn’t recommend Bark Busters Dakota County more highly.

    Our experience with Omar and Ryanne has been wonderful. We had some behavior concerns with our dog we adopted and Omar truly saved us! We love their teaching style and approach. We have learned so much from them and are forever grateful. Highly recommend!

    Photo of Annie I’m so happy to be working with Omar on training my new rescue pup! After 40+ years of cats, I knew I needed guidance just as much as the puppy! Omar is super patient with both of us and we are both learning a lot! I didn’t know how to train a puppy at all. And now she sits, down, leash walks, and enters a crate in a vehicle for transport. Still working on potty training and dropping unwanted items. But having someone come to your home and work on exactly what is needed 1:1 is priceless. And he answers my endless questions. I’m thrilled with where we are so far and it’s only been about 6 weeks. You won’t be disappointed with using this firm!

    Photo of Stormi & Pippa We reached out to Bark Busters after a few terrifying incidents between our two dogs, who are sisters, resulting in serious fights and even blood drawn. We were devastated and genuinely feared we might have to rehome our 2-year-old larger dog due to her attacking our 5-year-old Frenchie.
    Then came Ryanne, and everything changed. From the very first visit, she showed us techniques that had immediate results. She not only helped us understand our dogs’ behavior but also taught us how to be better, more confident dog parents. The difference in our dogs’ behavior, and in our home, is truly incredible.
    Ryanne is patient, flexible, and exceptionally skilled at what she does. She made us feel supported every step of the way, and we are forever grateful for her guidance and the peace she has restored to our home.
    If you’re struggling with behavioral issues or just want to strengthen your bond with your dogs, we can’t recommend Ryanne and Bark Busters enough.

    Photo of Mason, Millionaire & Myah Omar and Ryanne do a great job with our 3 dogs. They are punctual and they give us useful training techniques. Would recommend giving them a try.

    Photo of Walter Omar is the greatest and you can certainly tell he cares for his clients. He understands and responds in such a professional manner. He teaches, explains and has done outstanding work with our new pup, Walter. We highly recommend Bark Busters - Dakota County, it's worth every dime and more.

    Photo of Lucky We had our first training session with Omar a few days ago and I am completely blown away! It is hard to believe how much our dog’s behavior improved in just one session. Omar is a great teacher. He was calm and patient and took the time to answer all of our questions! More importantly, Omar gave us skills to use that really work! Our dog walks are fun now instead of stressful! We recommend Omar 100%!! Thank you, Omar!!

    Photo of Lottie Ryanne is so knowledgeable about how to communicate with our dog, and we could not be happier with the results! We are so grateful that she was able to help us figure out how to navigate the behavioral issues that we were having with our puppy, and the ongoing training as our dog grows up is worth every penny! We are much more confident dog owners and feel that we can, with Ryanne’s help, successfully manage any issues that may arise in the future. Her immediate rapport with our dog and her obvious love of canines lets us know she is invested in our success. We would absolutely recommend Bark Busters to any dog owner!
