    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!!

    Joshua has helped make my life raising a puppy so much easier. I have a high energy, male Australian Shepard named Nova and our first lesson was when Nova 4 months . Joshua helped establish basic house rules, taught me how to be the leader to my pup and helped Nova get rid of a lot of his bad puppy habits. The difference before and after just the first lesson was amazing. No more nipping, no more chewing on things, and no more separation anxiety. In our latest session, we focused on leash training as Nova is reactive to other dogs when going on walks. Again, the difference before and after the session just blew my mind. Joshua not only does a great job training the dogs, but also trains us humans on how to properly guide them. Each lesson is personalized and upon completion you are provided with an action plan to help keep your pup on track. Joshua really listens to what you have to say and explains his methods very thoroughly. I cannot recommend Joshua and Bark Busters enough!

    Photo of Milo Great training session. Joshua addressed all of the concerns I had with training my puppy. I really appreciated the time he took to explain to me how the dog thinks and how my behaviors effect the dog.

    Photo of Jorgie This has been a great experience so far! We have seen a noticeable difference in Jorgie in just a few hours. I love that these training techniques are methods dogs understand and respond to right away. These techniques are very effective.

    We had a great session Jorgie responded very well! Jeremiah was very pleased how he responded. We addressed his leash reactivity and overall behavior. We also worked on confidence building. He broke his leg and now has a fear of slippery floors. Today he was walking on floors and in places he never had been in his own home! really happy to see his progress today!

    Photo of Kimchi Our trainer worked with us on issues we needed to address teaching us skills like, body language hand signals, voice commands. Our pup responded very well. Very specific training!

    Kimchi is a really great puppy! She has been struggling with no leadership in her life. Now that her mom is being that leader for her, she can relax in the home knowing mom is in charge. We addressed her barking and anxious behaviors and overall obedience. I am looking forward to her progress over the coming weeks.

    Really great first session with Stitch. He has been a bit fearful of new objects and sounds. Today we worked on socializing him around all new sounds and objects he responded very well! We also addressed his leash manners and barking at the doorbell. With Camilla being consistent her pup will continue to improve.

    Photo of Rex / Oliver Thoughtful, behavoiral changes were apparent right off the bat. Our dogs responded very well with the positive reinforcement while being trained. The dogs had fun learning new behaviors.

    Photo of Finley Finley made tremendous strides in his training and has great potential to be a fantastic dog. I learned so much and am confident about our future together.

    Trainer Note:
    Finley has been barking at every sound and person walking through the home. We addressed his barking and basic obedience and had really great results. Today was the first day that he did not bark at noises and their roommate walking through the home. We also addressed his separation anxiety and had really great results. Thomas was very pleased with how his pup responded.
