Johnny helped us with our 2 dogs as we transitioned into our new home. One of our dogs is super anxious and reacts by barking and gets our other dog worked up to the point where they are both always on edge. Johnny was great at showing us techniques and drills on how we can work with our dogs to help with the reactivity and anxiety. One of our dogs is not food driven so we thought this was going to be an issue but Johnny was very patient and found the reward that motivated our dog. Johnny spent multiple sessions at our home learning about our dogs and we saw progress after the first session but even more so as we continued working with him. Johnny helped us be more confident as owners and our dogs more content in their new home. Thank you Bark Busters!
We started with Johnny to help with our first dog, Elroy about 3 years ago. He was a 1 year rescue Pitbull with no leash manners, reactivity to people and dogs, and serious resource guarding. Our sessions with Johnny gave my wife and I confidence to know that Elroy was safe and able to work with and improve. Through the right guidance, training, and tools Elroy is now an amazing family dog who loves going hiking and enjoys going out almost anywhere with us. With much consulting with Johnny we decided Elroy was ready to bring another dog into our family, so about 7 months ago we added Apollo, a 2 month old Rottweiler. Johnny has continue to support us from introducing the dogs to each other, each stage of Apollo's puppy development, and now continued training and development for both dogs together. Johnny has been extremely supportive with any dog related questions and we love that he is able to help us with anything we want to add to our dogs skill set as well as encouraging us to try new things to enrich our dogs.
Johnny Jumper has helped both of my dogs tremendously. I cannot recommend him enough. Getting the lifetime training is worth it because when I feel that one of my dogs needs extra coaching, Johnny comes out, offers his support, and rectifies any issues that have been happening. Thank you, Johnny!
Training my dog not to bark when alone was what got me to Bark Busters. Then we transitioned to refining her listening skills. It has strengthened the bonds between my dog and I. She is more in tune with me and listens well to my commands. Overall a great decision for Davi and I.
We've been working with Johnny for 6 months now, on and off as our needs arose with our 1 year old pup. The experience has been amazing - we saw changes in behavior before he'd even finished the consultation! He has a way with dogs that is loving and clear, and it gets results. He's also a joy to work with for us humans, too. We enlisted his help for ordinary puppy stuff like stealing and chewing things, counter surfing, and leash pulling. And also for more advanced goals like off leash recall. He knows how to address every issue effectively. What sets Johnny apart from other trainers I've known is his HUMAN skills. He is encouraging, patient, and not critical. He'll answer our questions or assuage our concerns about anything related to our dog, even if it's not training-related. He's very flexible with scheduling and excellent at communicating in person, via text, and more. We had trepidations that training wouldn't be worth the price. But 6 months in, it's been worth every penny.
If you are considering hiring Johnny, look no further, I promise it will be the BEST DECISION you will ever make for you & your furry family member! We found Johnny looking for a dog trainer to work with our 2 German Shepherd rescues, in need of leash training due to their size/strength (90 lbs & 105 lbs) as well as in home obedience to improve their adoptability. After extensive research for a behavioral trainer with rescue dog experience, we hired Johnny based on his reviews alone! Johnny not disappoint, he far exceeded our expectations in training both GSDs, their foster parents & US! I can honestly say, with a decade of experience working with dog trainers, that Johnny is by far THE BEST! His extensive knowledge in dog psychology/ behavior & simple replicable training methods combined with his genuine love for dogs & his demeanor around them, Johnny possesses something TRULY SPECIAL that can NOT be taught. The dogs know it & seeing how they respond to his training techniques is like MAGIC happening! Our 2 GSDs both knew several commands prior to rescue, it was clear they would respond well to training but we did not expect them to light up when Johnny arrived! Both dogs completed their obedience checklist & our male GSD quickly became the King of "Place" always the 1st on his cot! Leash training to eliminate pulling was challenging at first due to their excitability of all new sights/smells as well as new found strength in recovery BUT with Johnny's persistence testing various handling gear the Figure 8 proved to the be solution. They responded so well to Johnny working with the Figure 8 lead, they were soon walking next to any handler at any pace fast or slow!! Plus, ultimately, for dog training to be successful, it is just as much training the humans to practice consistently after Johnny leaves as it is about training the dogs. That is where Johnny is in a league of his own... He is just as incredible at training the humans as the dogs! The foster mom, who has fostered close to 100 dogs & her husband were only involved with the family dogs & they had never worked with a dog trainer. After just 1 SESSION, the foster parents were not only believers in training BUT said it was life changing & are excited about practicing with ALL the dogs. The foster dad even talks about Johnny's training with everyone they know & now helps with all the foster dogs too! Our 2 GSDs are now adopted & thriving because of Johnny's training & their transferrable lifetime training contract. Johnny is now our #1 trainer of choice for all of our rescue pups. The PROOF of Johnny's professionalism & ability to connect/train both dogs & humans alike is evident in the success of our 2 rescue GSDs & their foster parents' transformation!
Johnny is literally the best and the sweetest!! My dog had always struggled with reactivity, lunging, barking, and generally being on edge around other dogs and strangers. It was stressful for both of us and embarrassing. Barney has improved so much since the first session. Obviously, it's not perfect, but it just feels so much easier. Since the beginning, Johnny has shown us a lot of patience, which we greatly appreciate! I love how it's a one-time payment and sessions whenever available. Any time we want to schedule a session Johnny makes time for us. I 100% recommend!!!
Bark Busters are amazing dog trainers. Johnny is so good with my dogs. He is patient and very gentle with them and with my son and I. We had no idea what we were doing and Johnny came over and taught us what we need to know to at least get started. Bark Busters is definitely worth every penny. My dogs were barking all the time before Johnny came to help us. Now they are calmer and are easier to handle overall. :-) :-) :-) :-)
We can't say enough great things about working with Johnny Jumper from Bark Busters! After extensive research on dog trainers, we chose Bark Busters, and we are so happy we did, as our purebred English Lab and our Labradane both needed professional training. From the minute Johnny walked into our home on Day 1, our pups connected with him and responded incredibly well to his training methods. Johnny was calm, very professional, and exuded so much patience while working with our pups. He also provided excellent tips to address behavioral issues we hadn't considered on our own. We love that Johnny used positive reinforcement and clear guidance that helped me, my husband, and our pups feel more confident. Each session was educational and it was really encouraging to see the progress in each or our pups. After only two (2) sessions, our pups stay when told, they walk on a leash without pulling, and our English Lab is counter-surfing less and not jumping on family and friends near as much as before! We are continuing to implement all of the training that Johnny taught us and we know our pups will soon be the best dogs that we can take anywhere. We appreciate how communicative Johnny is as he checks in with us to see how the pups are doing, and he is also quick to respond to our text messages. For anyone looking for an experienced, patient, and effective trainer, we highly recommend Johnny Jumper at Bark Busters!
I searched for weeks for the right trainer for our (then) 6-month-old puppy and ultimately decided to go with Bark Busters. We've now been working with Johnny for several months, and our pup is doing great! He is patient with our dog, and even more patient with us as we learn how to continue training outside of training sessions. He understood that while we wanted a well-behaved dog with manners, we wanted our dog to be part of the family. He finds the perfect balance, between dog and family member, whereas other trainers and behaviorists I spoke with were advising we do not treat him as a family member (i.e. no petting unless "earned," etc.). Not only is he on-time, present, and attentive at sessions, he is available outside of sessions if we have any questions or need any extra help. I would absolutely recommend Johnny to others.
