    Photo of Pretzel Deb is pleasure to work with. Her training is simple to follow and if you follow through, you will get results. We have only had one session with Deb and are getting the results we hoped for. Our Bernedoodle is very active and strong willed, but he is adapting very well. Highly recommend Deb.

    Photo of Penny We had a great experience with Deb. Our new rescue pup has severe separation anxiety to the point that we cannot leave without her panicking and hurting herself with her desperate behaviors to get loose from her pen or crate and find us. Within a couple of hours of working with Deb, we saw some small glimmers of hope. Using her techniques we were able to get nearly 30 mins of Penny starting to settle in her pen. We will keep practicing and working up to more time so I’m no longer a hostage in the home!

    Photo of Alexei Saw results already by the end of my first session with Deb and puppy Alexei! It was really me being trained as I became educated on how to interact with Alexei with communication and praising. Amazing!

    Photo of Bentley We wanted to work with Bentley on not jumping on visitors or mouthing their hands. Deb gave us tools and resources to train Bentley to stop these bad behaviors. We have seen so much improvement in Bentley. Deb has been great to work with, and I would recommend Bark Busters if you need dog training resources.

    Photo of Murphy, Mila, Maxy We can't recommend Deb Boswell and Bark Busters enough! We have three poodles (ages 7, 5, and 3), and after five weeks, there is a huge difference in their behavior. Their door manners when guests come over and overall barking have completely changed, and we can't believe the difference. Bark Busters' holistic approach is effective and safe, and we love that we didn't have to use e-collars or treats to help train. A wonderful training experience — we are so glad we found Deb to help us!

    Deb is fabulous and we learned so much from her just first time meeting with her. We are excited to see the progress we see from our babies

    Deb was very thorough in her explanation and instruction. We, as well as friends and family, noticed changes immediately. Within two weeks the dogs started correcting their own behaviors, including stopping themselves after barking once or twice. It was an added bonus that harnesses were included for the training since the dogs have taken well to training in them. Highly recommend bark busters- it’s such a simple and easy to understand method that is definitely worth the time and money!

    Deb Boswell is the dog whisperer of the Des Moines area. I have two dogs (4 and 6 months) and she is really helping me train them to be even better versions of themselves. Bark Busters has a philosophy I have never heard of and it’s definitely working. I had family come in town after only a week of training and they noticed a positive impact. So thankful I found her and this company!

    Deb has been great to work with as we’ve addressed barking behavior with one of our dogs and severe separation anxiety with the other. We saw improvement after just our first session and over the past couple of months we’ve made big strides. She takes the time to explain the process and level set the expectations with you, as your dog’s behavior won’t change if yours doesn’t change along with it. Highly recommend!
