Hannah has been an amazing with our rescued golden doodle. He had severe reactivity with other dogs and she gave us the tools to improve his behavior significantly. After a few trips to the dog park walking around the outside just observing and desensitizing him he was able to sniff a few dogs through the fence without getting aggressive. We still have lots of work to do but I would highly recommend Bark Busters and Hannah. She’s fabulous and very patient!

We’ve done different types of trainings over the years with our different dogs, but the Bark Busters methods make so much more sense. It’s a very calm and quiet way to train rather than yelling commands. I have learned to understand my dog’s body language, anticipate his behavior, and be proactive instead of reactive. We are being taught to train our dog for behaviors we want him to have in our household, not what someone else thinks he should do. Our trainer, Hanna, has been so resourceful and supportive. In the past I’ve never felt confident in my abilities to train a dog - I often feel reprimanded for not doing things the right way in classes. But Hanna is gentle and kind, and has given me the confidence that I can do this and be successful.

Connor Willey is worth every penny PLUS more! After one training session my husband and I saw a HUGE positive change in our two cavapoos. Connor is giving us the best training advice and guidance that you won’t get off you tube. There is something to be said about in home, personalized training sessions. Each dog is so different and he knows his stuff! We are so grateful we called Bark Busters and have been paired with Connor. He is a must for all dog owners! - (Google Review)

We started working with Hanna in January for one of our pups (7.5 yrs) who in the month prior started to get aggressive towards our older pup (13 yrs). Luckily it wasn’t to a point where they had to be constantly separated and a couple of days after the first training it was night and day difference in their temperaments! We are seeing a lot of improvements in most of the areas we are focusing on. Some habits are hard to break (like going straight for the couch first thing in the am) but it’s a work in progress. We are so happy we made this investment for our pup and are excited for what the future holds! - (Google Review)

Connor is a miracle worker. Our dog Milo would charge aggressively after every dog he saw and would bark at even the most benign noises at home. After only two appointments, our dog has been completely transformed. Milo walks calmly with my wife and I no matter how many dogs are around. And he barks signficantly less at home. All without shock collars or other cruel techniques. Yes, Bark Busters is crazy expensive. No getting around that. But Connor is absolutely worth every penny and once you pay, he will stick with you and your pup as long as you need. Highly recommend his services to any pup lover - (Google Review)

Lynn Woodard was above and beyond our wildest expectations. She only had 2 weeks to work with our daughter’s dog, Daisy. She was so professional, kind and supportive, and after only 3 sessions we all saw a huge change in both Daisy’s behavior and the way in which our daughter now felt comfortable and in control.
Thank you Lynn for all your help. You are an asset to your company, a real gem.

Wow.... Hannah from Bark Busters is pure magic at teaching us about dog psychology and how to manage dog behavior. Our 1 year old golden retriever was really a wild teenager 2 days ago. Today he is well mannered and making the right choices. Hard to believe but totally true! I highly recommend Hannah at Bark busters Phoenix/Scottsdale..

Hannah has worked with us to train our puppy and our senior dog (and us) ever since we brought our puppy home. Her positive approach to training works like a charm — it is truly amazing to watch her in action. She is encouraging and patient with each new challenge we have faced as our puppy develops, arming us with the tools we need to succeed. Thanks to Hannah, we are a happy “pack” with years of enjoyment ahead of us. I recommend her wholeheartedly!

Bark Busters has been absolutely incredible so far! Our dog Aurelius, a high-energy and highly intelligent Jack Russell, has already made huge strides thanks to their thoughtful and strategic approach to training.

As any Jack Russell owner knows, they’re clever, spirited, and will definitely test boundaries if you let them! From the start, Hanna has shown a deep understanding of Aurelius’ needs. She’s not only brilliant during our 1:1 sessions, but she’s also developed a personalized training plan that gives us tools to use in everyday life. The consistency between sessions and homework has made all the difference.

What stands out most is the clarity and structure of Bark Busters' program. Hanna’s expertise has helped us build the right kind of boundaries—ones that support Aurelius’ confidence and reinforce our role as calm, assertive leaders.

We’re so excited about the progress we’ve already made, and we know we have more to go—but it’s reassuring to know we have such an amazing trainer guiding us. If you're on the fence, this is hands-down the best investment you can make in your dog’s behavior and your peace of mind!

I was apprehensive of all dog training honestly!! Hanna and Bark Busters approach is completely different than all other trainers and facilities I’ve interviewed. I feel more empowered and the dogs are happier, and our bond has increased. It sounds odd to say but I feel the dog love flowing between us and them even more, because boundaries are clear so we can enjoy the time together without stress! It’s life changing magic it really is.
My husband has had dogs all his life but these two special personalities needed extra attention from a pro to manage some reactivity and just over the top goofy behavior. Well worth every penny spent!!!

Just started working with Hanna and so far super impressed with the work that she has done. We have a very smart 10 month old puppy who is too smart for his own good. Hanna spent over two hours working with us and getting us into a good routine. Reinforcing what we were doing right and teaching us (and our up) where we needed to make adjustments. Great job so far!!

Connor and Hanna are incredible! Both of them are obviously K-9 lovers, but they're also great at dealing with humans. They seamlessly worked together as a team to alleviate all of our concerns, and the level of trust Hanna developed with us and our dog on her first visit was not just remarkable, but lasting. We now have a pep in our step as we embark on an easy, well-planned course to get our favorite non-human to cooperate with our family. I cannot possibly recommend their services enough. They are responsible, reliable, friendly, compassionate, patient, and wise.

Our Bark Busters experience with Connor has been wonderful and life changing for our family! Although we have only had a few sessions so far, over the last few months we have had so much more peace and cohesion in our family as a result that we weren’t sure we would have again anytime soon. Our family and sweet dog went through alot of changes in the past couple years with the addition of our son and living in four different houses all during the pandemic where she had less then optimal socializing opportunities. This left her with a lot of anxiety & nervousness, that was coming out in some undesirable behaviors including barking. Through Connor working with us all, we have seen her blossom before our eyes and returning to her sweet, calmer, and more confident self. We no longer have half the worries and stressors with her that we had just a mere couple months ago. We can finally all sit together or play together outside as a family again without worries or all the barking. We still have a ways to go, but now we have tools to communicate effectively with her and resources when we need help figuring out how to navigate situations that may arise that we may not otherwise know how to handle. Thank you so much Connor for your excellent communication skills, follow up, flexibility, patience, and step by step explanations paired with demonstrations! Our holiday season for our family has been so much happier and peaceful thanks to your continuous help! - (Google Review)

Dog pulling leash Bark Busters Home Dog Training

Does Your Dog Pull You on the Leash?

Walking our dogs is a great source of exercise for both pets and pet parents. It not only helps keep our canine companions healthy and physically and mentally stimulated, but also strengthens the bond between us.

Dogs pulling on the leash can be a common frustration for owners. This behavior often stems from excitement, fear, or a lack of training. When a dog pulls, it can disrupt walks, strain the relationship between owner and pet, and even lead to safety concerns. Teaching your dog to walk at a heel not only improves the walking experience but also strengthens the bond between you and your furry companion. A well-trained dog will walk calmly by your side, making walks enjoyable for both of you.

If you would like to solve walking issues like pulling, handling distractions, lunging at people, and jumping, contact Bark Busters Phoenix-Scottsdale!
