When it comes to Dog Training, Bark Busters is the REAL DEAL, and Mariah Vogeley is nothing short of incredible!!
Her expertise in dog training is evident from the moment you meet her, and she gives off that presence of a leader from the moment she walks through your door. We reached out to her after we brought home our rescue pitty, Beta. She was found as a stray just 2 short weeks before we rescued her. It was obvious that her previous life was not a happy one, and it was very clear to us/the rescue that she had been severely abused and mistreated, she was not trained or properly cared for.
She quickly developed a tendency to get overly excited, mouth, (hard) and jump up on us anytime we were getting home from work, or even just from being outside a short time. (she was not use to being happy to see her owners,which broke my heart, but we just couldn't have her biting like that 😞) She was also quite the handful during walks, and had a tendency pull, hard, and bark at literally anything and everything. (Barking excessively inside at all hours of the night)
Not to mention we have seen some regression in our other dogs training since bringing Beta home, but that's fairly normal, and tends to happen when adding another dog to your pack.
Mariah's leadership and dominance are palpable, and she effectively taught us how to establish dominance and leadership using our body language and a unique Growl-like command that dogs WILL 100% respond to, because its what they understand!! 🙏❤️
Truly amazing. She went above and beyond when Beta needed additional guidance, showing us heightened commands that have worked like magic. We've had 2 training sessions, and since fully embracing that leadership role after our second visit, Beta has been a perfect angel. She is actually very eager to please, and simply needed someone to understand how to lead her. I struggled a little at first, but Mariah's teaching is simple and highly effective, and after our second visit I am seeing REAL RESULTS!! I can't thank her enough for teaching me how to establish myself as a leader for my pups, and truly transforming my relationship with Beta. If you need a dog trainer, I cannot recommend Mariah, or BarkBusters enough!!

We had such a great experience with Mariah and Bark Busters! Mariah was incredibly kind and patient as she worked with us to train our puppy. After just a few lessons we noticed a huge difference! Thank you Mariah!

I found out about Bark Busters when I was having some struggles with my 3 year old lab, Ruby. She’s a very energetic dog, who loves people. However, she would constantly jump up on people, was pulling at the leash anytime we would try to walk her and anytime our front door opened, she would barrel through to try to greet whoever was there. When we found out we were expecting a baby, we knew we needed to put a stop those behaviors for safety reasons.
We connected with Mariah, and she helped us SO much with Ruby. Right off the bat, Mariah spoke with us about our concerns, and got a good feel of Ruby’s personality before she began the training. When it came to the actual training, Mariah was so thorough. She helped us understand why Ruby was exhibiting those behaviors, then told us what she was doing through the training, why, and helped teach us what to do to help Ruby. Mariah used such a positive, gentle and trusting approach, and Ruby took to her training so quickly. We are so thankful that we had such a great experience, and that we were able to fix these negative behaviors before the baby arrived. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Kayla has been excellent training our hyperactive 1.5 year old Jack Russell/Boston Terrier mix. She has taught us valuable tools that we can use on a daily basis. This training really has helped us take control without the use of painful techniques. Definitely would recommend!

Absolutely blown away by Bark Busters. Kayla has been a godsend with helping our super fearful pup. We’ve had our dog Caddy for a year now. She was rescued from an abusive and neglectful situation so she barks at everything out of fear. We weren’t even able to get a leash on her until we met Kayla. Yesterday Caddy went for her first real walk and loved it! We wouldn’t have been able to do it without Kayla pushing us and I’m so proud of how far Caddy has come. Not to mention the training methods that Kayla uses. Absolutely amazing! It’s incredible to watch and learn how to easily get the barking under control. Bark Busters has made such a difference in our lives and I couldn’t be more grateful!

Kayla is very knowledgeable and helpful with all the training. Including discussing food and play.

Mariah is absolutely amazing with our dogs! She was so helpful and great at directions. My dogs were so comfortable with her and she knew the attention and direction they needed! Mariah is highly recommended!

This is dog training like no other! They come right to your house and keep the whole family involved. We learned so much in just 2 hours. Would definitely recommend. Thank you for everything Mariah!!

Mariah is so knowledgeable about dogs. She is so passionate about helping clients and their fur babies. She is sweet kind and patient as well. I highly recommend!

We had our first visit from Mariah last evening, and just from this first training session (for us and the dogs) we're already noticing an improvement.

Mariah was patient and understanding with us and our dogs, and was not judgemental at all. She is providing sound solutions while teaching us how to apply our new knowledge. Learning to speak dog is so helpful. We're looking forward to continuing to work with Mariah.

I highly recommend Bark Busters in general, and Mariah individually.

We called Bark Busters after our dog was kicked out of doggy daycare. Mariah came out the next week and we just had our first session. Mariah was kind, patient, and intelligent. It was clear to us that Mariah is well versed in doggy training and we had a great first session. Mariah provided a plethora of information and helped us understand the root cause of some of the behavioral issues and how to work on those behaviors with our dog. We are happy that we chose Bark Busters and look forward to working with Mariah!

Our rescue, Ally, had a fantastic training session with Kayla! She did so well, and with Kayla’s expert guidance, I have no doubt Ally will continue to thrive and become the amazing dog she’s meant to be.

Very helpful! Mariah was wonderful, came to my home and listened to me talk forever about my dog and the things we wanted to work on. She then gave me a lot of helpful suggestions and exercises I could do at home to help with his reactivity. The program is geared towards changing your relationship with your dog for the better to help with the underlying problem and overall help with the reactivity. We've already made some positive changes and my dog is picking it up really quickly. We definitely still have work to do but I have a lot better understanding of my dog and what I need to do to help him get past some of his fear and uncertainty. I really think this program gets to the root cause of the issues and will fix the problem with a little more work from both of us. I'm excited to see where this takes us! Highly recommend Mariah, she is great to work with and very knowledgeable!

I truly can’t say enough good things about Kayla. She is knowledgeable, patient, & thorough. She gave us so much guidance in the first session and the response from our dog was immediate. She helped us learn how to communicate with our dog gently but firmly. I love that there was no use of prong or shock collars. Highly recommend her!

Mariah is wonderful! We are only one lesson in and our dog is listening and letting us lead. Highly recommend her services!

Bark Busters Home Dog Training provides quality in home training. Our trainer, Kayla, provides a variety of strategies for training us and our pups. Kayla is willing to work with our schedules and is open to both in home and public place training days. I highly recommend Bark Busters to anyone looking for hands on practical dog training.

Mariah is an expert on all things dogs! She was knowledgeable about dog food, behavior, and education for owners. She has been extremely helpful and communicative! Our shy/scared dog is already improving after her first session with Mariah. One thing that really stands out to me is the amount of communication and support. Mariah is available always for questions/advice. I’m so happy we decided to use BarkBusters when we were feeling hopeless about our pup’s behavior.

**5-Star Review for Mariah Vogeley at Bark Busters**

I cannot speak highly enough of Mariah Vogeley and her incredible dog training services through Bark Busters. I have a very smart, high-energy, and stubborn 6-year-old chocolate Labradoodle, and in the summer, I adopted a 5-month-old Black Labradoodle-Shepherd/Husky mix. What I thought would be a straightforward training experience turned into a bigger challenge than I ever anticipated. Despite my previous experience with training my older dog, I quickly realized I was struggling to manage two very strong personalities.

Luckily, I heard about Mariah and Bark Busters from my neighbor, whose dogs had shown significant improvement after just one session. This gave me the reassurance I desperately needed, so I reached out to Mariah, who responded promptly and was able to meet with me right away. From the very first interaction, I knew I was in good hands. I was upfront with Mariah about my awareness of my dogs' intelligence and how I was the one who needed the training.

Our first session was an eye-opener. It lasted over three hours, and Mariah was incredibly thorough in her approach, providing me with practical, easy-to-understand advice. She answered all my questions and reassured me that progress was the goal, not perfection. Over the next few weeks, as I encountered challenges, Mariah was always there for me—whether through text or a quick follow-up call. Her responsiveness and constant support have been invaluable.

One of the most memorable pieces of advice Mariah gave me was during a call before a weekend trip when I was feeling anxious about traveling with the puppy. She simply said, "Remember to have fun, this is supposed to be fun," and it completely changed my perspective. It’s easy to get frustrated during training, and her reminder to focus on the joy of the process has been so important for my mindset.

Since that initial meeting, we’ve had two more sessions with Mariah, and each time, I’ve been amazed by how much more I’ve learned. I honestly didn’t think we could ever get my older dog to stop pulling on walks, let alone walk both dogs side-by-side without pulling. But after our most recent session, we’ve been going on daily walks without any pulling! I even got a call from family friends who were watching the dogs, and they were blown away by how much better they behaved on the leash, particularly my oldest dog.

Mariah’s training has been worth every penny, and I genuinely believe she should be charging triple what she does, given the transformation in both my dogs and myself. This has truly been the best investment I’ve made for my dogs and for my own peace of mind. I cannot recommend Mariah enough. She is patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about helping both you and your dogs succeed. I’m looking forward to continuing our work together as we tackle any future challenges that come our way. If you’re looking for an exceptional trainer, Mariah is absolutely the one to trust.

Thank you, Mariah, for everything!

We reached out to Bark Busters to get help with our 2 dogs. Mariah visited us and spent about 3 hours asking questions, giving advice and starting a training plan. Actually, that are 2 training plans as our dogs are different. We were very impressed with her. She is passionate in her work, very knowledgeable.
We noticed a difference in our dogs behavior from day 1 on. We are looking forward how they will do moving forward and what Mariah will tell us at follow up appointment.
A big difference is that Mariah came to our house to see the dogs in their environment. Other dog trainers usually require the dogs are being brought to their place.
We highly recommend her.

Mariah was amazing. She spent 3 hours explaining our dogs to us, what makes them tick and how to change their behavior. After the first lesson we could already see some improvements. I’m looking forward to seeing what progress our dogs can make with Bark Busters help.
