Derek has been incredibly helpful in training my dog Harley. He has been super patient and understanding when dealing with Harley, as well as dealing with my family and I, as we have a hard time understanding Harley's behavior at times. My girl Harley is a 1yr old German shepherd, so as you can imagine she's a bit rambunctious at times and she can be stubborn. Harley started learning how to listen and obey me more, just a day or two after her first training session with Derek. Having patience and consistency when training your dog is the most important thing and it is without a doubt that the Bark Busters training method has been the best thing for Harley. They use no harmful methods, which was extremely important to me. Definitely recommend this business!
We got our puppy months back and couldn't be happier. After a month or so she started to just completely take over. She had zero respect for my wife and didn't listen to either of us at all. So I looked on yelp and contact Bark Busters. What can I say except Lissette with Bark Busters is amazing! Within minutes of her coming over the our baby was changed. It was like a night and day difference after that first visit. Wrigley was a different dog. Don't get me wrong she is not perfect (yet) but they will give you the tools to succeed in training the perfect dog. If you need help for any dog, any size, any age or pretty much anything at all you need to contact them immediately. You will not be disappointed!
Derek has taught me so much about dogs and their behavior. Not to mention how to take better care of my sweet girl so she lives a better life! I'm happy we found someone we can trust and who is extremely knowledgeable. Derek is more than just a dog trainer. He is always there for me to help and answer my questions or concerns. He is helping me to understand Allie and she is becoming the dog I have always wanted!
I'm eager to continue training and learn more!
my sweet puppy was struggling with resource guarding. we couldn’t have guests over because he would have so much anxiety, would lunge at them, bark, air bite. Derek and Lissette came in and helped us, not even an hour later my roommate had a friend over and he was so chill and calm about it! we’ve been having people over with no problems since. thank you so much bark busters!! ❤️
Beyond thankful for Lisette for helping our dog transform her behavior and become more comfortable. All of her help and support is greatly appreciated. Our dog would not be the same without her expertise and her willingness to always help us with whatever we need. SO glad we have her help!
Bark Busters is the best! We are so happy with the results from day 1. Lissette was so amazing. She has shown us techniques that has solved so many issues. Their training techniques work with no treats & no force. She fixed 5 issues in the first session. She is very knowledgable & professional. We highly recommend them. You will be amazed. I would give them 10 stars if I could!
Short version: highly recommend Derek! Has helped my dogs through basic training and more severe problems like resource guarding, trauma incidents and just always getting back to me very quickly when I msg him with random questions. Very much appreciated! Read on for detailed review :p
I have been a client of Barkbusters for a little over a year now and trainer has been Derek-who is the best trainer I could’ve asked for really! I highly recommend him to every dog owner!! I have labradoodles and when I first hired Derek they had zero training and were wild! He helped me get them potty trained within a week. Then, taught me lots of the basics and then other things I wanted them to do that were to my standards of training (I like them a little wild and fun still lol!) recall, staying away from front door, not running out open door, not begging for food in my face, walking without pulling, stopping resource guarding (list goes on and on) it definitely takes time and consistency but the many things he’s taught me has worked. Also-he is so knowledgeable about everything dog related like nutritional stuff too which absolutely has an effect on dogs health and behavior! He taught me about what to feed and how much (got me to watch a great documentary about dog food that changed my life too lol) how much exercise my dogs need exactly and all these things really made a difference for us. I can now take my dogs everywhere I go as service animals due to his training! Literally just took one of them to Disneyland with my toddler and he had a blast too. Lol.
The best thing I love about him and Barkbusters is that they will train your dog for the rest of their life if you should need it (you won’t lol!) but-things have occasionally popped up where I freak out and need dog advice whether it be nutritional advice or behavioral and I send him a text and he always remembers who I am and gets back to me within an hr or 2, and sometimes even quicker. Always gives me answers and really helps me get my situation under control.
One of my dogs was giving me lots of problems with sudden and pretty severe resource guarding when he was like 10-12 months old maybe..he was able to help me through it and now my dog is 2 and hasn’t had any issues whatsoever around our other dogs or any other dogs he’s around. :)
Recently, I accidentally slammed my cars door on my dogs tail and my dog started acting different around me at times, and refused to get in my car again. I msgd Derek and he listened to me talk a lot and gave me advice on how to use positive reinforcement to get him back into my car and explained and gave tips and I followed exactly what he said and in 1-2 weeks he was hopping back in my car on his own and totally forgot the trauma response he had built.
Today, I had a random dog question and even though I don’t need training these days, I texted him (late at night) and he was kind enough to get back to me shortly after that even though it was late! So honestly, he’s not just great at training but I feel he is genuinely a good person who cares about all dogs, and truly cares about his clients too. He’s never tried to upsell other services or products I don’t need and just gives good advice and info which as a lifelong dog owner I’m always going to need lol.
Also, his wife is a trainer too at Barkbusters! Her name is lisette! I only had her come out once or twice when my dogs were puppies and I was sooooo impressed by her too!!! My crazy puppies got in line instantly just having her in their presence!! I was shocked!!! Lol
Overall, I have been very happy with Barkbusters and I can’t speak for all their trainers but I can definitely recommend Derek. He really cares about every dog! Thanks for always being there for me and my pups! <3
I can’t recommend Bark Busters enough. My girlfriend and I have two medium to large sized dogs (a pitbull mix and a Belgian Malinois). When we tried to introduce them on our own they did not get along at all—were very aggressive and tried to attack each other through the fence constantly . We were moving in together and needed the dogs to get along in the new house. We called Bark Busters and Derek showed us different training techniques and put us on a 5 week regimen. We stuck to the regimen and techniques and we were able to move in with the dogs loving each other. Derek was available for questions throughout the process and continually checked up on us because he genuinely cared about our dogs. Bark Busters was a life saver
Lisette and Derek knows everything you need to know about your dogs. They help the owners to understand the dog behaviors, foods, health… everything! They Always response promptly whenever you and your furry friends need them. As first time dog owners we feel so lucky to have them around , we really appreciate their kindness and professional service in the past years. Bark Buster can make your life easier and happier for sure! 🐕 ❤️❤️❤️🐕
Lisette and Derek are great trainers and truly understand how to speak dog. They care deeply about my precious 8-year old Samson the Pittmaraner, and because of this his behavior improved within days, with reinforcement throughout the month.
He went from restless to calm, reactive with the leash to respectful with it, destroying toys in seconds to respecting it/leaving it alone when asked, and more!
I love that they teach me to understand my dog so I can develop a stronger relationship with him.
Will definitely recommend Bark Busters to anyone with any dog of ANY age (even older dogs).
