Jeri has helped my husband and I SOO much become better leaders for our dogs, Copper (2-year-old Bernedoodle) and Blossom (1 year old Bernese Mountain dog). She is so kind, inciteful, and very quick to respond. We recently adopted Blossom, who did not seem to have any prior training before us. We have working on her walking on a leash, not jumping up, not chewing everything she can get her mouth on, being more patient, and recall. Copper only really needed work on not jumping up and better recall. They both have excelled SO much with Jeri's lesson plan that she has provided us with! Not only has this taught us more about our dogs, but also about us and we have been shaped into better leaders for them. It's only been two months since we started training with Jeri, but I cannot wait to see how much better they will be by the end of the year. Highly recommend!!
Geri was friendly and was great at explaining what we needed to do and why. I was impressed with how well our dogs responded to the training in just the short time that Geri was at our home.
Thelma is a 6 year old black lab/pit bull mix that we adopted 2 years ago. Thelma is very well trained except for leash walking. We have tried many methods to train Thelma, but we were unable to control her sudden aggressive lunges when passing other dogs while walking. Thelma is a very powerful 75-pound dog who is extremely difficult to hold back. Her sudden lunges have resulted in a couple falls and one dislocated shoulder
Our vet recommended Jeri Wagner of Bark Busters. During Jeri’s initial visit, she taught us a number of leadership and communication exercises that immediately corrected the undesirable behaviors. Jeri also identified a few other undesirable behaviors that we were able to correct. For example, Thelma would run past me on the steps and push through the door as soon it opened. Now, Thelma always follows at least two steps behind me on the stairs, never passing me; and she waits away from the door until I tell her to enter or exit. When walking, Thelma stay precisely at my side with her collar never passing my leg. She stays on my right side when walking, never crossing in front or behind. She doesn’t try to charge ahead or lag behind to smell the flowers. After one week of me implementing changes recommended by Bark Buster, Thelma doesn’t charge at dogs, but she is definitely alert when passing. I expect, as long as I consistently follow the training schedule Jeri Wagner developed for us, that Thelma will soon be passing strange dogs as calmly as she currently passes walkers, joggers and bike riders.
I am very excited about the progress Thelma has made after only one week. Calling Bark Busters was the best decision I made regarding Thelma.

Jeri has been very kind and helpful with our two 1 year old shih tzu puppies. I felt comfortable with the company from the moment I called in and the training methods made sense
to me. Jeri was very thorough at our initial training session and has been readily available by email for all of my questions. We have seen some improvement with the dogs behavior and we still have more work to do. It is a relied to know that I have Jeri available for support as needed.
Working with Jeri is great. We started our journey with Bark Busters four years ago. Learned so much great stuff. On the recent visit we needed a little tune up. Jeri was very supportive and thorough. So glad we found her and work with her.
Our trainer, Jeri was thorough, efficient and effective. She gave my husband and me instructions to set us up for success even before she arrived, had a ‘lesson plan’ personalized to our particular needs, and spent as much time with us as we needed to become familiar with a brand new way to relate to our two dogs. We appreciate the written reference material she left with us, her suggested prioritization of behaviors to address, and the special accessories (patented to BarkBusters), provided to support success. It was worth the investment to have training within our home environment, with emphasis on providing consistent, firm but fair leadership. She set us up with a training schedule for us to complete, augmented by her continued support either via email or for additional visits. We highly recommend BarkBusters as a sound investment in a serenely happy home!
I was truly amazed at the training Jeri has provided to date. In a single 3+ hour session, I learned many tools with which to train Sadie — and myself, too. I’m looking forward to beginning our daily training activities and talking more dog 😊. I have every expectation that Sadie will be a super dog by the time we see Jeri again. Thanks, Jeri!
My lesson with Jeri was wonderful and empowering. I feel more confident in my abilities to support my dog so that she feels more calm and relaxed. The tools and techniques used were explained in an accessible way and she individualized the treatment plan to exactly what Simone needs and what I wanted to work on. I saw some promising steps towards improvement and she responded just as well the day after our lesson. I am so grateful for Jeri’s help and so excited to see how Simone does moving forward

Jeri, was very good at telling me what to do to gain control of my dogs. She showed me videos that were to assist with setting boundaries.
