Kayla is awesome! I recently adopted an Iggy (Piper) who is 3-1/2 months young. She’s extremely energetic, not potty trained and bites everything and everyone due to teething but couldn’t be any cuter. I met with Kayla for several hours. She provided great information, suggestions, is patient and extremely diligent in checking in with me to see how things are going. I’m a work in progress (hard giving tough love by not running to get her every time she whines, but I’m getting better:). Additionally, Piper is getting better with going potty outdoors and when she tries biting, by redirecting her, she refocuses and stops biting.). I highly recommend Kayla for your training needs.
Kayla is a remarkable trainer! We have had our labradoodle in various training programs mostly for help with his walking skills and some dominance issues that he has. The skills she has taught us are by far the most effective. She works in real time at our house where our dog is most comfortable (and likely to act like his normal self compared to a facility we would bring him to). She will answer any and all questions! She is patient with not only our dog but with us as well. When we have reached out for follow up she is always receptive and flexible and makes herself available to come visit us again. Our dog respects her when she is with him but is also comfortable with her and shows love to herI can’t speak highly enough about her and would gladly refer her to anyone!
4 years ago we signed our dog Jack, a Rottweiler/Hound mix for at home training provided by BarkBusters. Our trainer or should I say Jacks trainer Kayla provided us weeks of training homework which we used to train Jack! 4 years later Kayla is still in contact with us for updates and answers to questions on Jacks behavior trends! Kayla is a dedicated, patient, courteous and knowledgeable trainer!! Anyone looking for a trainer then look no further than Kayla. She has been and will always be part of our family and Jacks.
Kayla from Bark Busters came to our home to help us train our new puppy Bentley. She was great, we worked on some skills at our home, then went to the park to see how he would interact with other dogs.She gave us simple commands to use with Bentley and they worked. Recently I called Kayla to come back out and help us with getting Bentley back on track. Again Kayla’s knowledge and skills were spot on. Bentley responded immediately to the commands. I would highly recommend Kayla at Bark Busters.
We have tried a lot of things with our dog, including other training programs and medication, but training with Kayla is the first time I have felt like we have her separation anxiety under control. Kayla patiently taught us how to properly communicate with our dogs and techniques to make our fearful and reactive little lady feel safe, calm, and quiet. I learned so much from Kayla and cannot recommend her enough. She is a very clear and effective teacher and such an excellent communicator (human and canine!).
We recently welcomed a new fur baby into our home, and I was incredibly anxious about how our 10-year-old dog would react. When he began showing signs of distress and aggression, I felt overwhelmed and genuinely questioned whether I had made the right decision. I was nearly in tears, feeling lost and unsure of what to do.
Enter Kayla—an absolute godsend.
From the moment she walked through our door, she immediately got to work. Her calm demeanor, deep knowledge, and intuitive approach put us at ease right away. Within minutes, she was working hands-on with both dogs, helping to shift the energy and dynamics in such a positive direction. She spent over 2.5 hours with us, offering not only immediate guidance but also practical tools, tips, and even healthy treat recommendations.
Amazingly, within 24 hours of her visit, our home already feels more peaceful. Our older pup is noticeably calmer and more accepting of the new addition, and I feel empowered and hopeful moving forward.
Knowing that Kayla is available for follow-up questions and support until her next visit brings me so much comfort. She’s truly remarkable at what she does, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her help during such an emotional time.
I highly recommend her to work with you and your fur babies - don't wait as long as I did !!
We had the pleasure of Mariah come to our house for our first session with our 11 week old pittie, Winnie, she was wonderful to work with, my wife and I are now experiencingyour first puppy in many years, and felt we were going the right direction. But Mariah explained where we were misguided, and she was very knowledgeable and helped us to set goals and the avenue to get there. We are now more confident in how we are going to get our Winnie, to be the best version of what we believe she can be.
Looking forward to what other information and help Mariah can help us with in the future
Kayla is an outstanding dog trainer! We first met her in 2022 when we needed help with our dog, Bruin, after our move to the suburbs. Fast forward to 2025, with the arrival of our son, we turned to her again for guidance. Kayla was incredibly responsive and promptly scheduled our training session. Her patience and expert advice, along with practical homework assignments will absolutely improve his behavior. We can't thank her enough for her support and expertise! Highly recommend!
We are so glad we chose Bark Busters for our dog training needs. Their proven methods and personalized approach make all the difference. The support we received from Kayla has been exceptional, providing us with the tools and confidence to create a positive environment for Bruin. Knowing we have such a reliable resource for our dog's training has made our transition into family life smoother and more enjoyable. Bark Busters truly delivers results, and we couldn't be happier!
Bark busters and Kayla are the only reason we have our dog today. We rescued our dog Leo in April of 2023 and he is fear aggressive due to his trauma. We called Kayla and she came out within days of our call. After just one visit of Kayla coming Leo was a different dog! She was able to teach us everything we needed to do in order to get a loving and happy dog! We went from a dog who couldn’t even go over our families house or be around dogs to now can sleep over with his best bud Steve without us!! My husband and I owe everything to Kayla and bark busters! We are forever grateful!
I adopted a 9 month old Weimaraner puppy who had no manners, no training, and tons of energy. She was jumping on everyone, counter surfing, and nonstop biting. I was in tears. But Mariah came in and helped me find structure and routine in a way my pup could understand. Now I get to actually enjoy my dog! I highly recommend. Plus we will get to continue working on things as she gets into her defiant teenage stage 🤣
