    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 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 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!

    Trainer Note:
    Judie has taken charge of her home and now that she has her dogs Dakota and Missy are following her lead. Missy has been struggling with barking in the home because she feels that she has to protect Missy. Judie is now showing Missy she has nothing to worry about because moms got it!

    Trainer Note:
    Bailey is a really great pup! We focused on getting her more exercise and stimulation during the day. With Bob taking charge and being the leader now Bailey can relax knowing dads got it. Cheryl was really pleased as well and with them both being consistent, she will continue to improve.

    Photo of Oakley I cannot tell you how much I learned today. The improvement I have seen in this first session alone with my dog is absolutely incredible. 5/5 starts and I wish I could give it more.

    Trainer Note:
    Blue is a really awesome pup but has really been struggling with all the responsibility of guarding the home. We addressed his barking and aggression around the front gate area. Now with Chris and Amanda being the leaders he can now relax. Really looking forward to his improvement over the coming weeks.

    Shi is a great little pup and responded very well during our first session. She is only 4 months old but is catching on quick! We focused on some basics to set them up for success! I am looking forward to how she progresses over the coming months and grows!

    Trainer Note:
    Sadie has started to develop separation anxiety with her mom Carolyn. Today we addressed that and also her overall behavior we also worked with her sister Brandie. They both responded very well! We worked on recall and leadership. With Doug and Carolyn being consistent they will continue to improve.

    Photo of Julius / Peanut / Sparkles Joshua was very knowledgeable about dogs, he explained things very well and practiced with us and our dogs! Feel more comfortable to achieve my personal goals.

    Trainer Note:
    Angelikas pack responded very well to her lead! She picked up our training techniques very fast! We worked with Julius, Peanut, and Sparkles, we addressed their barking and potty training. They responded very well! With Angelika being the pack leader, they can now relax in the home knowing mom has got it!
