    Photo of Bark Busters has helped immensely with our two reactive rescue dogs!

    Even after the first training session, our 3 year-old dog showed marked improvement. For example, when I took him on a walk the night after the first training, we encountered a neighbor dog—in the past they would lunge and bark at each other. With the techniques learned, our dog remained calm walking past the other dog who was lunging and barking from across the street. It felt like we were on another planet—it was so different from past experiences and a relief! Our other dog is a 6 month old puppy and has also responded well to the training. It’s been great to instill good habits early on.

    Ryanne has continued to refine our training and troubleshoot issues that arise. She even brought her dog and training partner Omar to further address specific concerns.

    We have learned a lot. The Bark Buster training has been more effective than any class that we tried in the past. I especially like that it does not depend on treats and is focused on better understanding dogs and establishing respect as a leader of the pack.

    As a result, we have very happy dogs and humans in our home. It definitely has been worth the investment!

    Photo of Hunter & Millie My husband and I were pleasantly surprised at how quick our 5.5 yo and 3.5 yo pups took to their new skills. We hired Bark Busters to help us with barking, jumping, and walking. Our initial lesson with Ryanne was 3 hours and well worth it. We’ve been practicing the skills we learned with both of our pups and they don’t bark or jump like they used to. We’ve also seen a significant improvement with walking. We highly recommend Ryanne and Bark Busters if your little fur babies have habits like ours ?

    Photo of Ozzy I reached out to Bark Busters in search of some training for my German Shepherd, Ozzy. Omar is our trainer and we’ve been working together for about a month now. Omar is a great trainer and person! He Carrie’s himself with a lot of respect and puts that energy towards training Ozzy. I have seen many improvements in my dogs behavior, and this began after the first lesson. There is definitely a lot more work to do, which is why I purchased the life of dog guarantee, but I have very high hopes! My dog is more relaxed now and becoming better behaved in high stress situations. I can’t wait to continue this journey and see even more results. 10/10 would recommend Omar at Bark Busters!

    Photo of Crick, Watson & Fey Bark Busters has performed miracles with our three dogs, two 6 years old Lab mixes and a one year old Blue Heeler mix puppy. Yess, all rescues. Ryanne has been extremely patient in customizing our training to fit our household. I highly recommend Bark Busters if your dog(s) need specialized training.

    Photo of Raffi We had great results with our energetic dog. He (our dog) was very receptive to the techniques and approach. The results were immediate. The trainer was courteous, friendly, professional, informative and timely. I liked the training wasn't treat based. Recommend them highly.

    Photo of Myron Ryanne has been so helpful and patient with Myron and myself. He is a rescue, reactive, and aggressive looking towards others. Myron bit a stranger and I was desperate for help so he could stay with me. We have had 2 training sessions and his reactivity and aggressive responses have drastically reduced! I wish I knew about Bark Busters when I rescued him 3 years ago. We did other training when I got him, but it really was useless compared to this. I highly recommend this training and have to co-workers. Thanks for training me so well Ryanne, we appreciate you!

    Photo of Lola Paul and Bark Busters have been great to work with. Great communication to get started. Face to face training with owners and dog(s) very helpful. Thorough explanation and hands on instruction. Began to see improvements immediately. Very exciting! Learning a lot and seeing more and more improvement in behavior, listening, etc. Wish we would have found Bark Busters sooner, as our dog was 5 years old when we started. Highly recommend Paul and Bark Busters! Thank you!

    Photo of Mustachio & Princess Omar has been amazing with helping us tame these two wild beasts! We didn't know either puppy's past but we knew it wasn't good since they were both dog reactive and scared of new people. Omar helped us learn how to "speak dog" and understand their needs and then how to to help them to trust again.
