Ben is amazing! We selected Bark Busters based off all their wonderful reviews, yes they are true! Ben is easy to communicate with to express any problems or concerns you have with your dog. He is very knowledgeable in all aspects of dog life. We are first time dog owners and have a 12 week old Portuguese water dog. He gave us great techniques and tips. We are definitely more confident. He left us at ease. Thank you!!!
This experience was and continues to be revolutionary. Never have I seen a dog trained so quickly. I have referred Ben to two of my coworkers. it is unbelievable. it will change your life!
Ben was truly amazing. I have three young very hyper labs, and within about 15 minutes of working with each dog there was an unbelievable difference in their demeanor and behavior. This positive change has remained consistent even through the times of the day that were historically the most challenging (ie feeding time). Have had zero issues with any of the three dogs since the initial lesson. Highly recommend
Absolutely amazing from start to finish. We learned so much from our session with Ben. I was hesitant about the technique when it was first being explained, but our puppy responded AMAZING to it. He was even able to get our 12 year old pups to break some bad habits. ABSOLUTELY WORTH THE INVESTMENT!
If I could rate Ben more than 5 stars, I would. My situation: I have an 11-month-old black lab mix. We've had Macy for 2 weeks; she is a rescue and has moved from foster family to foster family in her short life. She is hyper, jumps, nips and bites. Basically, the average puppy behavior just ramped up. Ben arrived at our home around 4PM, sat down with my wife, my daughter and I and started the training. He trained us for the first hour, his background with the program, experiences and its ideology. I'm going to be honest, I thought he was full of it. Within 10 minutes of introducing Ben to Macy, I was a believer. She was calm, docile and ready to listen. I was amazed. I've never seen an untrained dog react this way. Over the course of the 3-hour session, Ben taught my family how to interact with our dog and get the behavior that every dog owner wants. My Macy is now sweet, loving and more importantly, RELAXED! I can't recommend Ben enough. His methods work. The program works. Thank you, Ben, I will be recommending you to any dog owner I know and meet in the future.
Absolutely incredible! After years of trying other trainers, everything short of shocking to stop the barking and other behaviors, nothing worked! Now, we had 3 contented and obedient dogs after the first session. Bark Busters approach simply makes sense. Speak the dogs language and they will understand what you want them not to do. Great concept, well thought out materials and Ben is a super trainer, both for dogs and the hooomans!!!
My experience with Ben was life changing. I watched my dog, and I have had many in my life, change right before my eyes. He is a 90lb male pit bull mix, who was a bit fearful and pushed to dominate. He loves people but would jump on them including myself and it was extremely stressful. Ben corrected this behavior within the first 30minutes of our time together with absolutely no physical force whatsoever! My dog went from fearful and unsure to calm and respectful; fear left him. Even his abandonment anxiety was relieved. I am so excited to continue the ability to speak dog language, and continue what Ben has shown me to build a wonderful relationship with my dog. I would recommend him in a heartbeat as he is as dedicated to his clients as our dogs are to us. And that’s so refreshing to see in this world today. Thanks again Ben!
WOW!!! Ben was amazing!!!! He communicated things so well and clearly and was extremely encouraging! My dogs responded really well to him and his commands. I'm super excited to see what other tricks he has up his sleeve!! Ben will be another household name around here. 10/10 recommend!!!!!!!

Long story short: Ben has worked miracles for our family and really helped our dog grow more comfortable with her place in our "pack," especially after a chaotic introduction to having a newborn at home. Now, baby + pup can play together and mom + dad have confidence and trust in their behavior!
The whole story (for anyone who's curious or debating hiring Bark Busters for your family - do it!): From the very first questionnaire I filled out online, I felt like this style of dog training would be the right solution for our family. I felt like our dog was good, not great - she doesn't beg, listens to a few commands, but barks like crazy and doesn't get along well with other dogs around. And at eight months pregnant with our first baby on the way, we knew it was smart to have a dog trainer start helping us.
Our first session went beautifully and the tools Ben set us up with seemed to really work. Right away, we noticed a difference and we were able to work with our dog on several key target behaviors. She even grew more comfortable with strangers (a contractor at the time) coming into the house.
When we brought our newborn baby home for the first time, it was extremely chaotic. Despite our early training and giving her baby stuff to smell, it was clear that our dog was NOT ready and not feeling friendly. We couldn't have them in the same room together without the dog being overly excited and on edge, and she barked at every baby cry.
We called Ben from a place of desperation and he calmly talked us through each step of the way. We followed his direction and training plan for several weeks and made huge progress. By 2-3 months old, I am so happy/proud/relieved to say that both baby and pup are now friends. They can be in the same room, on the same couch, pup can approach and gently lick baby's face, and then walk away.
This is so huge for our family, and we are extremely grateful. We have so much peace and confidence knowing that down the road, should we ever need a training refresher or need advice, we have Ben to call.
