    Photo of Baxley / Maddie Today's training session was different than any other we have had! The dogs were responsive and seem to be able to adapt to the training right away. I am hopeful for the future.

    Trainer Note:
    Really great first session. Baxley and Maddie responded very well. We addressed Baxley's aggression in the home. We are working with her over the coming weeks and i am looking forward to her progress. With Jamie being consistent she will continue to improve.

    Rosie is a really great puppy she responded very well during our first session. Sophie is an old dog that is learning new tricks! We worked through a lot of the puppy basics and addressed Sophies barking and aggression. With Jonah being consistent and working with them they will continue to improve! I am really looking forward to seeing their progress over the coming weeks.

    Photo of Captian We were blown away with Joshua’s knowledge and ability to explain the methodology behind the training techniques and how they’ve been developed with the way dogs think in mind. We saw immediate results with our pup Captain and are eager to continue our training at home now that Joshua has given us the tools we need to adjust Captain’s behavior. Captain is on his way to becoming a happier, calmer, more well-adjusted member of the family as we continue our training. We’re very grateful for Joshua’s help and insight! I highly recommend Joshua and Bark Busters to anyone that wants to see results with their dog without the use of harsh tactics, but rather through positive reinforcement.

    Photo of Cooper / Rummy Training was exactly what we were looking for to improve our relationship with our dogs. The techniques and exercises are logical and straight forward. A great experience.

    Really great first session working with Rummy and Cooper. They both responded very well, and Roxana was very pleased with their response. We addressed their behavioral issues and leash manners. With Roxana being constant they will continue to improve.

    Photo of Captain Absolutely phenomenal experience from the first insight and demonstration, we saw improvement in our dog's behavior. Training was very informative with great reasoning and understanding why our dog is acting the way he is.

    Trainer Note:
    Captain is a great pup! He has been struggling with separation anxiety and stress. Now that Sara is being a leader for him, he can start to relax and follow her lead. He responded very well! We also addressed his fearful behaviors and started to create positive associations in those moments.

    Photo of Rocky / Bruno / Nikko The training session was great! As Expected, everything that I was looking for my dogs. The trainer was very patient and very knowledgeable of what he is doing. I would totally recommend Bark Busters.

    Trainer Note:
    Burno has been struggling with aggression at the front door. I worked with Doris on how to manage Bruno and how to direct his behavior in the right direction. He responded very well during our first session. We also addressed Nikkos's potty training and recall. We also worked on all of their leash manners. With Doris being consistent they will continue to improve.

    Trainer Note:
    Really great first session with Ollie and Duke. We worked through his reactivity at the front door, house manners, and his fearfulness of skateboards. We also worked with Duke on his leash manners. They both responded very well, and Lacy was very pleased with our first session. Now that she has the tools with her being consistent, they will continue to improve.

    Photo of Chloe I think it will take time to train Chloe, but we have some good tools to get going. Josh was great giving us tools to get going!

    Trainer Note:
    Chloe has not been socialized and has been having a tough time being outside and having people in the home. Today we started her on the right path forward. She also has some great leadership from her handler Chris. With him guiding her forward and being consistent she will continue to improve.

    Trainer Note:
    Duncan was really pleased with how his 3-pups responded during our first session. We addressed their barking, personal space boundaries, jumping and more! We had very good results and I am confident with Duncan and Sarah being consistent they will continue to improve over the coming weeks. Teddy has been in charge of the home and has been stressed because of this, today was the first day he was able to relax with people coming to the front door!

    We had our first session 4 days ago and I think I learned more than my pup!! I have a miniature bull terrier (Jorgie) and we are trying to get him to be less reactive to dogs and other sounds. Just in the past 4 days doing the daily homework of just 15-30 mins that Joshua gave us I have already seen a huge improvement. We have already seen his confidence improve to push past some mental barriers Jorgie has at since he broke his leg. But the biggest thing that we can't thank Joshua enough for is his ability to focus on us during walks and not react as much when he sees other dogs.

    I definitely recommend Bark Busters to anyone looking to help their dog live a more stress-free, anxiety-free, and all-around happier life. They make it so easy to understand dog psychology and give you exercises that help you start seeing results immediately. Also, they give you a lifetime guarantee for your dog's life, so even if in the future you need help with anything you know that they are there for you!

    Thank you so much Josh for all your help, we are excited for you to see how much improvement Jorgie has made in his next session!!
