I am thrilled with Bark Busters and with my trainer, Kevin. Although I've had dogs my whole life, I never trained a dog, and I was a little afraid of doing it. I lost my 15-year-old Cocker Spaniel a year ago and got a puppy quickly. Joey is a pure-bred Cocker Spaniel--he is emotional, gorgeous, and loving, but he is a handful!
Kevin has provided me with a ton of innovative information, approaches, and tasks to train Joey, and they are working!
My family and I see the improvement! The methods work by using sounds that a dog naturally responds to.
There are many trainers in Los Angeles, so the information alone is insufficient. I am an intuitive person, and Kevin is kind and understands human and dog nature!
I feel comfortable sharing what is hard for me with Joey. He responds quickly with new ideas, humor, and patience. I consider him a friend of my family.
Joey and I are in great hands, as problems come up, and as Joey grows.
I'm grateful and relieved that I found the right company and person for me and Joey.
If you need dog training, make sure to call Bark Busters of Greater Los Angeles!
I had a great experience with their customer service. A lot of places didn't call me back at all after filling out a consultation request. Bark Busters definitely stood out in this regard, not only did they call right away, but Michelle had the kindest manner. She took the time to gather all the details of my situation and explained everything to me. I had multiple follow-up questions and Reginald called me back every time right away to answer my additional questions. They even went as far as to connect me with Kristen, one of the main trainers, to answer anything they could not. If they are this great even before you become a client I can only imagine how great they are when you are.
We are first-time dog owners. We got our puppy at eight weeks and were over our heads. Ever since Kevin came, we have seen improvements with our puppy Jazz immediately. He always assesses the situation to figure out where Jazz is and gives us great building blocks and pointers on handling each situation within each phase we head into with her each time we see him. He is an awesome trainer. He makes himself available and is always responsive when we text him to guide us on addressing what we are dealing with. We highly recommend this training. You will see improvements if you stay consistent with their guidance.
Kevin has worked with my wife and I since day 1 of bringing our Samoyed puppy home a little over a year ago. He's been a vital resource and helped us navigate the most challenging months of raising our dog with effective lessons and strategies to address various adolescent behaviors. Bark Busters' program focuses on forming communication habits with your dog in a language they understand. These tools have been especially effective with addressing impulse control and separation anxiety. We started to see results even after the first session. Our puppy is a notoriously stubborn breed and still has some growing up to do. However, we believe we have laid a very solid foundation with our training with Kevin and that he is really well behaved for his age. Thank you Kevin and Bark Busters for all of your help!
We love our Malshi pup Benji, but he has suffered a pretty bad case of separation anxiety. He would howl and whine when we would leave our place and at times caught him digging and being destructive. He also has trouble focusing and social anxiety issues. Kevin has been great in providing the necessary tools and advice on how to go about easing Benji's separation anxiety and overall behavior, and we have seen improvement since our first session! He's taught us how to properly communicate to our pup and has been responsive whenever we have any questions or concerns. It's nice and relieving to know that Kevin will be by our side during Benji's growth and development!
Navigating the challenges of owning an 8-week-old Golden Retriever would have been incredibly overwhelming without Kevin's help! As first-time puppy owners, my wife and I were unsure how to handle all the different phases. Kevin provided invaluable guidance tailored to our specific situation that books and TV shows couldn't match. We are so grateful for his support!
It has been a while since I have had a puppy and Harley is like no other I have ever had. He was a handful. After my first session with Kevin I knew this would be a challenge for both Harley and me. I did my homework and every time Kevin came there was improvement. We have had 4-5 sessions and Harley is a wonderful dog to be around. The change in his behavior is amazing. My walking group has noticed the change too. Thank you Kevin for your support and guidance. Bark Busters is GREAT!
I found out about Bark Busters because of my neighbors. Their pit bull changed what seemed like overnight from being anxious and crazy to obedient and calm. We booked Kevin and Christen to train our German Shepherd puppy. This truly may be the best dog training in the world! They really understand how dogs minds work and teach you how to communicate so they understand. Bella was starting to nip our hands and play rough, but they taught us that grabbing her too much during play can cause this behavior. We learned to set boundaries around the door and walk on a leash calmly with no pulling. I would recommend Bark Busters to anyone who really wants to understand the nature of dogs and have obedience....without bribing them with treats!
Kevin and Christen have been wonderful with our puppy Indy. They are both very professional and gave us a lot of actionable home work to work on with our dog. Their methodology is not about just training the dogs but teaching us how dogs think and how best to help both sides communicate with one other. I can't wait to continue working together to see our puppy grow and learn.
If you’re looking for a dog trainer in the Los Angeles area, Christen is a miracle worker! I have a 2 year old lab that still has many puppy tendencies, barking, jumping, tearing up my stuff when I’m gone... We worked on her separation anxiety by using calming exercises and establishing leadership. She will be back to train more on walking without pulling the leash, but the drastic improvement in just one training is incredible! Highly recommend!!!
