    Winston picked up quick today! We addressed his separation anxiety, leash manners, and toileting habits. He has been very stressed out when mom leaves, but now that mom is taking the lead Winston doesn't feel the need to be worried about mom!

    Rachel moved and her roommate has a couple Cats in the home and Isla has been really struggling seeing them. Today we taught her to relax with the cats being around and she responded very well. We also addressed her leash pulling and basic obedience.

    Photo of Lucky / Snoopy / Charlie The dogs showed immediate improvement in their behavior. I am much more hopeful they will continue to improve and be more accepting of friends and family.

    We addressed Snoopys and Charlie aggression with new people in the home. Melissa is now taking charge of the home and her pups are a lot more relax now that mom is leading them. Today was the first day she had someone new in the home and the dogs were CALM! She was very pleased with our results today!

I am really looking forward to her progress over the coming months!

    Photo of Nelly Comprehensive, detailed but attainable! Our trainer was friendly, resourceful and patient. We already see a noticeable improvement and he hasn't even left yet! Can't wait to keep practicing.

    Nelly is a very smart and responsive pup! Now with Jill taking the lead Nilly can follow in the right direction. We worked on her barking and leash manners. We also addressed her behavior with new people in the home. I am looking forward to her progress over the coming months.

    Photo of Archer / Jade I really liked the training approach as it does not use harsh punishment procedures or use of treats. Its manageable to implement in day-to-day life and addressed every behavior issue we had immediately.

    Trainer Note:
    Archer is a very smart pup who needed a leader in his life and also breed-fulfilment. We addressed Jade's and archers barking and digging and door manners. We had great success with both of them and Elizabeth was really glad about our result. With her now having the tools and being consistent they will continue to improve.

    Photo of Oakley I cannot stress how incredible my first session with Josh was. I have an incredibly loving Australian Shepherd but for the past 8 months had started to bark at anything and everything that passed by our house. Every time someone came to my house he would bark non-stop for about 10 minutes straight and the same thing when I took him on a walk. I could not understand why this started happening to the most loving and easy-going dog and everything I tried to do failed to help him. My first session with Josh was so incredibly informative and the almost instantaneous results I saw I literally could not believe. I was sitting there in absolute awe. An hour and a half into the first session my dog walked past 3 grown men and a leaf blower (all of which would have set him off into non-stop barking) without a second thought. Every walk he's been on since has been quiet and he loves walking again. I've had people over to the house 3 times since the session and the most I'll get is one initial bark and once I correct him immediately, he instantly backs down and listens quietly. I wish I could give Josh and Bark Busters more than 5 stars. My dog literally falling asleep while someone is working on my house feet away from him as I am writing this....this has not happened in almost a year.

    Photo of Well, all I can say is our experience has been incredible. We have a 10 year old lab and a 3 1/2 year old mixed breed. Although they are both great dogs they have some very bad habits…barking and snitching food from the kitchen and very hard to take on walks. After one session, Josh taught us how to control all of these behaviors. Amazing ? highly recommend Josh and the company. It is expensive but remember, you get what you pay for. It is well worth it.

    Photo of Bo / Louie Josh was amazing with our dogs plus he provided clear and concise directions on how to help us guide are dogs. We noticed a considerable difference in our dogs in the first training session. We look forward to learning new techniques.

    Trainer Note:
    Louie and Bo responded very well during our first session. We worked on their overall behavior as well as leash manners and front door manners. Now that Shawna has stepped up as the leader in the home the dogs are able to relax. Louie didn't react to the doorbell for the first time in years!
