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!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear how well things are going with your new rescue pup. We love working with clients like you, and it’s wonderful to see the progress you’ve both made in such a short time. We truly appreciate your trust and are excited to continue supporting you along the way! - Ryanne & Omar Rubio

Bark Busters has been a game changer for our Keith! We, self admittedly, let Keith run the house - I mean, with a face like that, can you blame us?! As our puppy grew up, there were more instances of behavior that was unbecoming of a gentleman. I had a dog growing up who snipped at people and it got to a point where my mom “took the dog to the farm” and I was going to make certain that did NOT happen with Keith. From session 1, he’s a completely different pup and it’s been made easy with Ryanne’s help. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Hi Ben! Thank you so much for your review! It's been a true pleasure working with you and Keith to bring more harmony to your home. Keith is such a wonderful dog, and with your guidance, he's visibly happier in his environment. Keep up the good work!!

We came to Bark Busters for help with potty training our puppy--the puppy just did not seem to catch on and we felt like we were not making progress. Ryanne of Bark Busters came out to our home and set up a program for us. She had many suggestions and ideas which we followed to the letter and saw immediate results. Ryanne had also been extremely quick to follow up when we have questions or if we want to add additional training. We are 100% satisfied with Bark Busters!
Thanks Rebecca!! It's my pleasure to help you navigate through puppyhood with Violet:) Please reach out anytime with questions!

Ryanne has been incredible, I can highly recommend her to anyone with a dog with behavioral issues! We have a very stubborn mini dachshund who showed territorial aggression and excessive marking and barking. We have only had a handful of sessions with Ryanne, but our dog has shown improvements we would not have believed a couple of weeks ago. He is able to stay overnight in his own crate without wining, we can eat in peace without him harassing us, his barking has reduced by 80-90%, and we have learned very easy-to-use techniques to help him calm down more quickly when we have visitors. We love Bark Busters focus on communication techniques rather than treats or punishments, as we can use these techniques anywhere.
Ryanne has also been very responsive and often checks in with us. Bark Busters is well worth the price, which is very affordable compared to similar companies who typically do not offer as many in-home training hours or follow-up appointments.
I was very skeptical at first but the first visit went great! It’s been 2 days and we’ve already seen improvements in our dogs! They even send an email with everything they went over. The dogs responded very well with the training and we are very happy with the results ❤️
Thanks for the feedback Katrina and thank you for sharing your experience with others! It means a lot to me to hear clients are happy and seeing results!!! I look forward to our continued work together:)

Ryanne has been a such a gift to me and my 2 year old adopted Shitzu, Ollie. Until we met, Ollie was not housebroken, jumped on me and everyone he met, nipped like crazy, pulled and ran all over when on leash, escaped through the front door, and although being a very affectionate dog, was a terror. I was exhausted and questioning what I was thinking by adopting a dog! I tried other, less expensive, forms of training and nothing was working. Then I found Ryanne and Bark Busters. Her training has been worth every penny, and more. In 5 weeks my dog is now housebroken, walks beside me beautifully, doesn’t nip, jump, run through doors, sits, stays, and is a very well behaved little dog!! Ryanne has taught me the tools to correct my dog when needed and I couldn’t be happier! Ryanne is a real pleasure to work with, is responsive, somehow knows what Ollie is thinking, and our favorite Alpha!! Thank you, Ryanne!!!
Thanks Joan! Your diligent training with Ollie speaks for itself! Excellent work! I'm very happy to have been a part of your transformation:)

We were at 6 months with our new puppy and she was as lawless as could be (jumping on people, barking at every little noise, counter surfing, pulling on the leash). We tried treats for training and she learned a few commands but wouldn’t do them on command without the treats. Enter Bark Busters. Within the first 2 hours we had the respect of our dogs and a way to uphold the laws of the household. We feel in control and equipped with the tools to keep it that way. No shock collars, no treats, only respect. IMMENSE Thanks to Omar and the BarkBusters techniques!
Thank you, Aaron, for the amazing review. I am so pleased to know that your experience with us was a good one. I look forward to our continued support & training. Kind regards, Omar Rubio | Bark Busters Twin Cities

Amazing! We have a beagle who has some severe anxiety. We tried as many routes as we could before barkbusters to no avail. I was starting to wonder if I was just an unfit pet mom. In a few sessions and staying consistent with training, my dog is much calmer and even more playful. I would recommend Bark Busters to anyone.
Thanks Katie! It's been fun to witness the behavioral changes with BellaDonna! You guys are doing great! Keep me posted and reach out when you need support!

We adopted a 5-month Dachshund mix rescue a month ago and our little Kylo would go from being insanely cute & sweet, to a terrible terrier...especially after a walk. And those baby teeth are sharp! But then Omar showed up at our door yesterday and spent about 2 hours training us to train our new puppy. And it seemed like magic! Kylo immediately listened and obeyed his commands and taught us how to do the same. It was amazing to see the instant difference it made to our dog. I'm sure it'll take many months of constant reminders of who really is the leader of the pack in our home (we are, not the dog!), but now we are very excited to help Kylo be the best dog he can be and be a good little doggy (most of the time).
Hi Mac, Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience with others on this platform. We truly appreciate your feedback! Kind regards, Omar Rubio | Bark Busters Twin Cities
