    Photo of Moose / Argo Josh was absolutely amazing! He took his time to explain his entire method to us and really helped us to understand not only *what* to do, but *why*. He answered all of our questions, and our dogs responded to the training immediately. They were seriously so good within MINUTES of Josh's arrival. My husband and I feel fully prepared and confident to continue our dog's training after Josh taught us what to do! Thank you so much!

    Photo of Freya Josh was positive, inviting, and easy to talk to. He really explained a lot about why our dog behaves the way she does and how to correct it. He also helped us do practical training ourselves, so we can repeat them ourselves.

    Trainer Note:
    Rebecca picked up our training techniques very quickly and her dog Freya responded very well to her. She was very surprised in how her dog reacted. Freya had been very reactive on leash, and she had been struggling to walk her. Today we addressed it and she was calm walking past and around dogs! Mom was proud!

    Tony is a great pup and responded very well during our first session. We addressed all the puppy basics and his potty training. With Mandi being consistent Tony will continue to improve. With Mandy showing him leadership and guiding him Tony will be a happy pup!

    Photo of JoJo It was amazing and we saw such an improvement in just the short amount of time in the first session. Josh brought out a new side of JoJo and showed us how to fulfill her needs as a dog. Would recommend to everyone!

    JoJo is an amazing dog she is very smart and has the eagerness to please. During our first session she responded wonderfully. We addressed her dog reactivity and separation anxiety. She has just found her new forever home and has been struggling. Now with Kevin and Michelle guiding her she is going to be a well-behaved pup!

    Photo of Cookie Joshua from Bark Busters is wonderful! He observed our little dog for about 20 minutes before meeting her. He started our training by telling us about dog hierarchy and how to become the leader. It turned out that we were actually reinforcing the behavior we hoped to correct. Truly eye-opening. He worked with us both inside & outside of our home, then on the leash. The change was immediate. We have continued using the techniques he gave us and the barking and constant patrolling our yard has almost disappeared. And it's only been 6 days! He spent almost three hours with us. It was a lot of information. But you also get very easy to read and review handouts so you can always review his information. I'm am so glad we hired him. I just wish we would have know about Bark Busters earlier. Thanks again Joshua!

    Photo of Chance Noticed a huge improvement in the first visit! Very impressed! Josh instructed us very clearly and had us practice lessons so that we understood how to work on our own. Our puppy and us learned a lot very satisfied. Chance still needs more work but so much better than before.

    Trainer Note:
    Chance responded very well today during our first session. We addressed his aggression towards dogs and people. Today was the first time he was calm with someone new in the home. We also addressed his leash manners and reactivity on the lead. Jill was very happy with his response to our training techniques. He needs consistency and some work, but he is on his way to being a well-behaved pup.

    Photo of Squishy Today's session was already so helpful! Both my dog and I have learned a lot!

    Trainer Note:
    Squishy was a great pup to work with today. She has a new forever home. She has been struggling with leash manners and basic commands. Today we addressed the basics and also established leadership in the home. This way she can start to relax and be calm within the home now that Nichole is in charge.

    Milli and Mickey both responded very well during our first session. Laura was really pleased with how fast the caught on. We addressed a lot of typical puppy behavior. We also addressed their separation anxiety. I am looking forward to their progress over the coming weeks.

    Photo of Louie Louie's barking at the door has been getting worse recently, with his separation anxiety worsening as well. We learned tools today that just in the few hours with Joshua we have seen improvement. For the first time we walked without Louie pulling hard and trying to lead the whole time.

    Trainer Note:
    Louie is a great dog with a sweet and mild temperament. He has found a new forever home and was needing a good leader in his life. Now that Aubrey has shown him leadership he is already starting to relax in the home. We addressed his leash manners and door reactivity. We are also addressing his separation anxiety. With her being consistent Louie will continue improving.

    Trainer Note:
    Chloe has found a new home for her; she is having some trouble getting along with her new sister. We went over establishing leadership, so the dogs have nothing to fight over. We are working on slowly integrating both dogs! They both responded very well today, and Mike was pleased.
