    Photo of Life changing! I contacted Bark Busters because I have two mini Golden Doodles (one, who is six and very well-behaved and one who is one and not so much). Initially, I had an in-depth phone consultation to share my issues and my goals for my dogs. Next, Ben came to my home and taught and explained many of the Bark Busters’ methods. He modeled them and walked me through each step, until I felt confident and was doing things correctly. After, he left, I immediately began practicing and applying the methods with my dogs- with IMMEDIATE results!!!! It was unbelievable to me.

    The next day I took my dogs to visit my almost 80 year-old mom. That was another reason I wanted help, was so the dogs wouldn’t jump on her and bruise/cut her frail skin. No one likes to be jumped on by a dog, much less two. Anyway, I got to her house, and they both started toward her. I said the magic sound (that Ben had practiced with me) and both dogs stopped right away and walked away from her. Later, one of my mom’s friend’s visited and both dogs started to bark. Again, I said the magic sound and had to apply one additional method I was taught, and both dogs just sat down on either side of me. They sat there comfortably and didn’t bother my mom or her friend.

    Since then, things have been awesome with both dogs. My dogs seem much calmer now. Ben, came again a few weeks later and taught me how to walk my dogs on a leash without them pulling me. He also provided wonderful advice/suggestions on my dogs’ nutrition, thunder anxiety for one and separation anxiety for the other. Knowing that Ben is just a phone call/text away brings me so much peace! Can’t thank him enough for all that he taught and practiced with me!

    We just met with Jodie at Bark Busters and had the best experience! She is clearly very knowledgeable about dog behaviors and has a very calming presence. We are really looking forward to seeing the progress our dogs will make using Bark Busters' training methods. We are all in!

    I got a cute puppy during covid that grew into a 105 lb bundle of nerves. After a previous failed training stint I decided to try Bark Busters. Ben was amazing! Super professional and really connected with both us (we are being trained as well) and our dog. Seriously, this dog is like a new animal. Can not be happier about my results so far.

    Omg Ben the best coach!! He amazing he knows how to teach us how to teach our Annie. Today July 19 was are first time meeting Ben. Ben already got us teaching how to talk to our dog Annie. Annie is already doing so much better. Walking her was a drag pulling and barking. Now, she walks when we walk and don't have to pull her. No more Jumping all over the door and barking at birds and squirrels. Dogs do learn fast with the right coach.

    Ben had alot of good information and was helpful in showing us different techniques to address behaviors. Bean was responsive to these techniques. Now we have to put into practice. Ben has been great in that he answered all our questions and was encouraging when we attempted each one. I'm a work in progress, Bean's got it.

    Our rescue dog has issues with aggression. We called Bark Busters as a last resort. We are so happy we did! Ben educated us on dog behavior and started right in with techniques to use on our dog. The techniques worked—the first time! We were amazed. We highly recommend Bark Busters to anyone having issues with their dogs. We look forward to many years of positive behavior from our dog vs. living on pins and needles waiting for the next aggressive behavior to occur. Thank you Ben Miller. Thank you Bark Buste

    Absolutely the best outcome that we could have asked for. The first session both of our boys completely did a 180 with their behavior. Ben was so personable it felt like talking to a friend and he gave great advice. He took the time to answer all of my questions (which there were many). After this first session I feel like there is hope for my boys, mainly my older dog Joey who struggles with some aggression issues. I am looking forward to continue working on these skills and the ones still to learn.

    OMG! Ben is awesome! He made our first meeting very informative and enjoyable. I walked away with so much information and believing i had made a wise investment and my fur babies and I am going to benefit from this partnership. I was a bit hesitant at first but after learning the technique and seeing how effective it is, i knew i was going to be fine and Duke and Duchess were getting the best of me for them.

    What can I say…….. Mr. Ben was nothing short of amazing today. For the first time in years, I feel I have control over my dog. Prior to the training, I didn’t think I could walk Cosmo with him pulling me up and down the neighborhood. However, in just over an hour, I feel more comfortable walking my dog with the few techniques learned today. Ben was patient, prompt and friendly throughout the entire session. I highly recommend Mr. Ben as your next dog trainer. He won’t disappoint!!!!!!!!!!!!
