    Photo of Buddy Bear Joshua communicates very well. I felt comfortable on my initial call to Barkbusters when I spoke to his assistant. Today's training confirmed everything I was initially told. I was afraid I was going to have to give up my GSD, but now I am confident we will have many great years together!

    Buddy Bear responded very well today during our first session. The biggest issue he was having was respect and leadership for his mom Janice. Today I taught Janice how to be a leader and how to guide and show Buddy! They both did really well today, and she was very happy because she thought she may have to get rid of him!

    Burno has been struggling with separation anxiety and leash manners. Today we addressed these issues and also worked on his overall behavior. Now with his dad taking the lead Bruno is a much happier calmer pup! Saeid was very pleased with our first session! I am looking forward to their progress over the coming weeks.

    Photo of Reese Josh is very friendly and understanding of dogs innate behavior. With very little time spent we can already see improvement!

    Working with Reese today was great, she is an awesome lab that picks up quickly! She responded very well during our first session today! We worked on her door manners, greeting people, and leash manners! We also worked on recall today as well! James was really happy to see his pup come when called! She is going to be a star in no time!

    Photo of Batman / Guinness It is always hard to hear that you are the one that is being controlled but we were given the tools to take back control with very manageable tools we already have! Great Experience!

    Trainer Note:
    Batman has had no leadership in his life up until now! This has led to a lot of behavioral issues and specifically resource guarding! Today we addressed these issues and also worked on his overall behavior. We also worked on Guinness anxiety and basic obedience! They all did really well today and Jeff is really pleased with the start!

    Trainer Note:
    Charlie is a really great dog and now that Sally has taken the lead he can relax and let mom guide him. He has been struggling with aggression with people in the home and barking at the front door. Today he was calm and relaxed with the people coming through the front door for the first time.

    Photo of Bentley / Barkley I had a great first experience using Bark Busters. Our trainer, Joshua was a great trainer, he taught me and my dogs a lot of new tips! I have already noticed a difference in my dog's behavior on the first day and I cannot wait to continue to work with him.

    Trainer Note:
    Bentley and Barkley have been fighting recently. Today we worked on their sibling rivalry and addressed their jumping. Ove the coming weeks with Sianna establishing leadership the dogs should start to relax and respond and follow mom's lead!

    Photo of Snowflake/ Charlie / Riley The training was so informative. I loved that Joshua showed me step by step how to teach my dogs that I'm in charge. Great information left with me to continue to have well behaved dogs! I am so grateful.

    Starr has now taken control back in her home and we watched her three pups fall in line! She was amazed and very pleased with how they responded! She now has the tools to be consistent. I am really looking forward to her progress.

    Photo of Bowie We are all very pleased with our first session. We are definitely looking forward to our next session. We learned a lot of things, but we also learned things we would never have thought of! Our trainer also made a lot of points and gave us great exercises all of which made sense!

    Bowie is a great dog! Now we are teaching him rules and manners in the home. We worked though his door dashing and barking. We also addressed his aggression with great success today in the home. I also gave them a few good exercises for them to continue building on!

    Trainer Note:
    Working with Gunner and Scotch today was great! I really enjoyed meeting this awesome duo! We worked on Gunner's counter surfing, resource guarding and leash manners. We also addressed Scotch's barking and assertive behavior with guests. Now with Shalimar in charge and taking the lead they will continue to improve with consistency.
