    Photo of Buddy and Ranger I am amazed at how well our dog is responding after one training session. I wouldn't have believed it was possible to make so much progress so fast if I didn't see it for myself. I mainly called Bark Busters because of resource guarding against our older Golden retriever and I was worried I may not be able to keep the new dog because he would start fights so I was desperate to find help, I believe this turned out to be a blessing in disguise, this is going to help in so many different ways, not just resource guarding, he's so much easier to get calmed down while preparing the dog's food or when company comes over, etc. I look forward to learning more. Michael is very kind and I appreciate his experience , he explains things very well and is patient with me and all my questions.

    Photo of Beau I could not have had a better experience with this team! My dog Beau was a rescue adoption, and he had significant anxiety and aggression issues. Michael came directly to our home, listened to our concerns, and worked with me to create a plan to help everyone, including Beau, feel safe and secure. I gained a whole new perspective surrounding a dog’s behavior. It was well worth the price for peace of mind knowing we are on the right path with the right tools. Thank you!

    100% will recommend Bark Busters to anyone who have pets! Michael was really easy to work with, he understood our concerns and addressed all of our issues. The Puppies were unfortunately on their best behavior so Michael didn’t get to see the issues today. However the tools he left us with have kept us in the Green and Yellow zones the rest of the day. We will continue to work with Michael to make sure we keep our pups safe. Bark Busters approach to dog training is simply amazing.

    Photo of Gypsy, Ita, Oni, Miller Jared was great! We had a difficult situation of introducing 2 new dogs into a home that already had 2 mature dogs. There were SO many issues to contend with. Fear aggression, dominance, puppy behaviors, and more. We noticed immediate results during Jared’s first meeting with us. He devoted time over several sessions to help us learn to deal with all of the issues. Furthermore, several months out, the training has held & we have the strategies to deal with new concerns / advanced lessons as they arise. We are so very happy & are greatful to know that Jared / barkbusters will continue to be there to support our family !

    We worked with Jared in Minneapolis. He was clearly extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, and easy to schedule with. We are very impressed by the program, and it has helped tremendously with our dog, Chip's (black lab mix) leash and dog reactivity and excessive barking inside the apartment. We look forward to continuing to help our dog be less anxious around other dogs. We are Bark Busters for life! Carson and Evan

    Photo of Billy Jared was an intregal part of helping my foster/rescue dog with separation anxiety.

    I knew I was unable to adopt Billy ( Golden Retriever) unless I was able to leave for work. I lived in an apartment and it made it very difficult to leave as he would bark nonstop at the door, scratch the door, etc due to the anxiety of me leaving. Jared helped share many tactics that made me confident enough to officially adopt Billy. I am able to leave Billy for a few hours a day now and am very thankful for the time Jared spent with us.

    Photo of Rose We had our training with Lydia, and even after the first session we saw a huge improvement. My husband and I had been dealing with a lot of issues that were very stressful when it came to leaving our dog Rose alone for any amount of time, and Lydia was able to teach us an easy technique for creating boundaries with Rose. As we've continued to work on the training on our own, and with several other session with Lydia, we have seen a vast difference in Rose's behavior. She is so much more comfortable, now, and she hasn't had any accidents on the floor since February! She is learning to listen to us when we need her to, and most importantly, we have seen a huge change in her separation anxiety, and anxiety overall.
    Lydia was very kind and understanding, and made sure to go over everything clearly with us so we understood how to do the training on our own.
    We are all much happier and less stressed, now, and we are very appreciative of the help Lydia gave us in getting there. :)

    I cannot say enough about Michael's knowledge, his integrity, and his kindness. He helped us resolve a very difficult situation, showing empathy and compassion.

    We just had the first session with Michael, and so far we are completely satisfied with our Bark Busters experience. Communication has been excellent our trainer laid out the steps in a way that was easy to understand, and we have already seen results from our training.
    We have scheduled a follow up appointment, but for now we are going to work hard at the skills Michael taught us so our pups become the best they can be!

    Michael made the training extremely easy to understand and follow. We started seeing a different within a couple of days. One of our dogs took some extra care (she is super sensitive), but we had good success after some practice. It really does depend on your work habits with your dog. If you put in the time you will see results.
