Mobile & Baldwin County Client Reviews

See what our clients have to say

We have a standard poodle named Beauregard. We got him at 8 weeks and by his first birthday, he was totally out of control! I researched and found Bark Busters Home Dog Training. After 2 classes, Beau is a different dog!! Finally we found the correct method of training and Beau is responding to commands followed by praise! No shock collar or pockets full of treats! Betty Lou and Rachel do an outstanding job teaching us how to communicate with Beau. After trying other methods, we have found the best in Bark Busters!!
I have 3 rescue dogs. Here's a brief rundown: One of them has severe anxiety and fairly bad behavior when it comes to seeing other dogs (sometimes people) while out and about. He also feels like he needs to protect the home from every noise. I have another pup that hasn't interacted with many people outside of the home since we got her as a puppy this summer and we just relocated here and don't know anyone. Then a third dog that is a newer addition and is still learning everything.

I didn't know what to expect from this training but figured a home based training would be best for my crew. This isn't a type of training where you sit back and let them do the work. This is more so training you on how to train your dogs.

They have given me practical & simple tools to utilize to get these pups under control. For me having 3 dogs to work with (all around 60+ pounds) is no easy task. We have had 2 sessions with Rachel and Betty Lou and I have daily homework. It can be exhausting some days but I fully committed to this. If you have 1 dog I'm sure it would be much less time consuming and exhausting for you.

It's been about a month and I've already seen varied levels of improvement within the household. The more severe behavioral pup is the most resistant to change but he's beginning to relent with consistency and with seeing the others progress.

I think the biggest compliment I can give the trainers is that they have reduced my stress and anxiety and helped to build my confidence in leading my crew. I hadn't realized how much the dogs bad behaviors were influencing my mood until they've started to fade and get under control. We still have a ways to go but I'm thankful for the kindness, knowledge, and training they have provided to me. They are helping us all to improve and thrive together.
Google Review: "If have been looking for an amazing place and people to train your four legged family member, this is it!! I cannot say enough about the amazing experience we have had. We rescued a very trouble sweet girl who was afraid of everyone and saw everyone as someone who could hurt her. Instead of sending our sweet girl away to get trained some where, Betty and Rachel came to our home. They had amazing patience and their skill, knowledge, and expertise have changed our lives and our sweet Izzy's. They even worked with our older dog who wad stubborn and co dependent. If it weren't for them I honestly not sure Izzy would have stayed because of her aggression and these wonderful ladies saved her life and ours."
Highly recommend! Rachel and Betty Lou gave us tips and tools to help us work through some challenges- ie: greeting people at the door, nuisance barking, counter surfing, dog reactivity, settling, etc.. Noticeable results in each of our lessons. They have helped us bring some peace back to our home living with a 9 month old puppy and given us techniques to continue using for a lifetime.
Many THANKS to these two wonderful ladies for setting us up for success!!!!!!!!
Google Review: "We love Rachel and Betty Lou! We saw immediate results in behavior with our rescue baby after the first session, and it only took one leash training session to completely change the way we take walks for the better! Highly recommend!"
Google Review: "Rachel and Betty Lou are absolutely amazing! They helped my boy who was aggressive towards other dogs out of fear become much more well mannered and confident. They were very patient in showing me and thoroughly explaining different exercises to help with recall, leash training, distance control, and “place”. I could already tell a difference after just one short lesson and would recommend them to anyone who’s pup may need a little extra help."
Google Review: "Rachel and Betty Lou were a big help with our two mini Australian shepherds! We were having issues with them greeting people as well as going on walks. Their leadership exercises as well as other techniques are definitely different from the norm but seem to be working! There’s a lot less barking at our front door when people come over now!"
Google Review: "The trainers know what they are doing and do it very well. They understand dogs. After a couple of weeks I see a difference in my pups, though it’s still early days. Looking forward to working with them more in the future."
Google Review: "Mrs. Betty and Mrs. Rachel, have been awesome and helped our crazy Malinois puppy become a well minded dog. I would recommend them for any of your issues you might be having with your dogs behavior or even if you just need your new puppy in the house trained for proper dog etiquette."
the lovely ladies with bark busters have been absolute life-savers for us. we contacted them when we started having issues with nuisance barking, territorial issues, and basic lack of control over our little loves. betty lou and rachel came to our home, and we expected they would train our dogs. nope. they actually trained us! we learned so many useful techniques that we were able to utilize with our dogs on a daily basis. they came for another visit, and we started seeing amazing progress with our dogs. betty lou and rachel are geniuses. the best part is that you get a sort of “lifetime guarantee” with their service. betty lou and rachel have been available for us any time (a lot of times 😆) when we experienced new problems, had specific questions, or decided to adopt our third dog. this training really helps you give yourself and your dogs a more positive, more structured environment. i still cannot believe the progress they’ve helped us make! their training is worth every penny. i cannot recommend them enough.
Google Review: "I used Bark Busters for training a Standard Poodle an I had two ladies who was so knowledgeable and patient and I can't say enough good things about them. I can report my Poodle has learned obedient and I have learned how to control the barking. My trainers were Rachel Rodgers and Betty Lou Prickett and they went above and beyond for my Poodle. Thank you Rachel and Betty. I will recommend them to friends and everyone."
Rachel and Betty Lou are awesome! Their training methods are spot on. My Golden Retriever had become territorial and aggressive. When I tried to walk her she would pull me down, lung, growl and bark at other dogs. Walking her was miserable. With Rachel and Betty Lou's help she has returned to being my gentle angel dog. We can enjoy walks again. Thank you Rachel and Betty Lou!
Client Google Review: "My pup and I have a better life thanks to Rachel and Betty Lou. They explain everything so well. It's simple and intuitive. It helps me understand and implement the training easily and with confidence. My 5-month old puppy has taken to the training exceptionally well and they have been so patient with me as we go through the training. Highly recommended!"
Words cannot describe how different my life is after the training with Betty and Rachel! I never realized how much my dog dictated my life. My dog used to bark at every little thing, jump up on everyone, be reactive to people, pulled on leash, growled at children and was very frantic during storms. After going through the Bark Buster program, my dog is so much more obedient and pleasant to be around. He is still the loving and silly boy he always was but now I'm not embarrassed to have people over because he actually has manners! During storms he is not shaking and is way calmer after I reassure him. It was such a relief to find natural training that did not rely on treats or shocking! I don't know why I waited so long to get this training but I'm super grateful for it.
Google Review: "Fantastic duo that have helped us and our pup so much! We really enjoy working with Rachel and Betty Lou! We have been working for about a month so far and already have had a great improvement with our fearful/stranger danger baby girl! I love that they make it easy to learn and train."
Google Review: "We had our first training today with our two dogs (chihuahua and chiweenie). Our chiweenie is aggressive and already his behavior is changing. Definitely has exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend."
Google Review: "Bark Busters has been so amazing with helping us with our one year old Lab mix. She loved jumping on our guests when they got to our house, loved being under foot wherever we went and does not do well on a leash at all. But in just the two visits with Bark Busters she has done so much better! Absolutely love that they come to my house too!"
Google Review: "Betty Lou and Rachel are amazing! They truly care about happy pets and happy owners! Our male Rottweiler puppy and his older pack are doing amazing with their help! "
Google Review: "Today we enjoyed out 2nd home training that included Rachel and Mary Lou watching how our "teenager" German Shephard responded to what we learned in the 1st session. Having them in our home and yard with our 22-month old, sometimes crazy, dog is a great thing. They critiqued what we have accomplished, demo'ed things to do next, and left us with those activities and ideas to work on. We are very encouraged as we can see the progress. And, we need progress!!!"
Google Review: "Betty Lou and Rachel are amazing! I would recommend them to anyone who are struggling to keep their head above water with their fur babies. I have noticed such an amazing and unbelievable change in my dogs. They respond very well to the behavior techniques they taught us to implement! Please don’t hesitate! It will change your life and it is very much worth it! I am a happy, optimistic dog mama."
Google Review : "We were so pleased with the Bark Busters!
Within less than 2 hours our Bear and Daisy were doing the commands Betty Lou had taught them! I was so surprised how quick they learned! I totally recommend the Bark Busters dog training. Our babies loved her!"
Google Review "Rachel and Betty Lou are life savers. Within one session Ziggy was responding to me: coming when I called her; staying away from the front door and the UPS driver; and letting me call the shots. Ziggy is a little different than most dogs. Since we live out in the country, she does not walk on a leash, but she walks beside me now and minds my commands. The lesson and the videos were a huge help. Thank you!"
For anyone having dog issues I highly recommend Barkbusters. The Mobile branch trainers are two nice ladies that have been best friends since they were 14. Ruby is doing awesome now that I am learning how to communicate with her better. It wasn’t cheap but very worth the money. Plus, I have piece of mind knowing that they will come back out at no extra cost if we haves issues years down the road. I Also love that it is praise based instead of treat based.
Andrew Grant's Google Review "Firstly let me thank these ladies for coming to me and making experience enjoyable for me and ollie. They were on time, professional yet personable. They explained everything I needed to know and gave me real tip and not just rubric. Their recommendations were spot on and I appreciate it a lot. My high jumper is already having 4 paws firmly planted. 10/10 so recommended."
Roxanna Tisdale's Google Review "This type of training is amazing as it speaks volumes to the dogs. They respond quickly and it’s so very simple. Who would have thought! Berry Lou and Rachel are so nice and explain everything so well. Highly recommend them as our dogs have never behaved this well!"
Thomitha Rush's Google Review "After the first session I could see improvement with my puppy. The ladies teach you how to confidently lead your dog without harsh methods. The ladies were also very kind and personable and work to tailor your training to suit your individual needs. Money well spent."
