    Kyle is absolutely incredible! We first contacted Kyle a few days before welcoming our first child and he helped our dog, Ginger, through the transition. Kyle was always available when we needed him and really helped Ginger learn her place in the family. Ginger is now her brother’s biggest fan and I feel we have Kyle to thank for this.

    Kyle is truly exceptional to work with. His genuine love for dogs and deep passion for helping others shines through in everything he does. My pup is sweet but sensitive, and Kyle has a remarkable ability to connect with both of us, ensuring we always feel safe, comfortable, and supported throughout the training process. He tailors his approach to our unique needs, and it’s clear he truly cares about our progress. The best part is that the techniques Kyle teaches are not only effective—they’re also easy to apply. I’ve even used what I’ve learned from him when watching friends’ dogs, and the results have been nothing short of amazing! It’s like magic every time. Kyle’s expertise and kindness make him a standout trainer, and I’m incredibly grateful for all the guidance he’s given us.

    Photo of Kyle was outstanding with helping us train our dog, Hanson. He was extremely personable, and took his time making sure we were comfortable with the training process. Kyle gave us the tools and instructions needed to train our puppy and fix some of the behavioral issues we were having. I highly recommend his services to anyone in the area looking for some help training their dog!!

    Photo of Katie Bringing and adopting, rescue Katie, a Rough Collie, age 4.8 years old into my life 2.5 years ago from savecollies.org, has truly been a blessing in so many ways; hiring Kyle a treasured gift to us both!

    We bonded from adoption! She is a definite love bug indoors with me and outdoors when on walks, at the Vet or Groomer’s, even Christmas Tree Farms is great with anyone wanting to pet or approach and loves her time at community Bark Park. Kyle noticed these traits and commented on her good girl behavior when we first met.

    Enter the frustration and need for Kyle, Owner of Bark Busters Richmond, VA.

    However, Katie barked at anyone, and delivery trucks in her home field vision, (from the window) and charged, jumped up and nipped at family & friends with whom she had no familiarity, her protection mode in full effect, negatively affecting our relationships. No one entering escaping her watchful protective gaze. I was at a loss.

    Contacting Kyle following our serendipitous meeting at our Veterinary Office, has changed our home! Good Owners, good Dogs! As Kyle showed me and stated “You absolutely can teach an older dog new tricks and behaviors! They love to please!” Katie had been through several trainings in her previous Owner’s care receiving Certificates and Blue Ribbons, prior to being placed up for adoption due to her Owner’s passing.

    Kyle began his instruction by stating and demonstrating to me in our home, new skills, behaviors and techniques which have changed Katie’s behavior for the better and for good! Kyle comes to you and your dog for life!

    Katie has readily and happily responded to “Bah” looking right at me & “Good Girl” when barking is not needed for protection or redirection is needed, after our initial session!

    When walking she is focused on commands from me and no longer lagging and pulling to lead after a few more Alpha techniques Kyle stated, and demonstrated. Taking the burden off of Katie and putting it on me is bringing peace to both of us!
    Katie is more relaxed, smiles even more and looks to me to lead in our happier home!

    Kyle shares his vast knowledge of dog training, his personal love and anecdotes of his passion for dogs !

    Are you in need of a few new tricks and techniques to increase the happy in you and your dog’s home? Contact Kyle today!

    Photo of Rigby and JujuBe Kyle is amazing and helped us understand how to work with our dog’s natural instincts. They are doing amazingly well since we learned to lead the pack and help them relax. Thanks to Kyle’s teaching we have a much calmer home.

    I couldn't imagine one session would make such a huge difference in our puppies behavior. I was at my wits end and now I can relax, work and even eat around her. None of that was possible before unless she was sleeping. Kyle did a great job of teaching us how to speak 'dog' and Loca responded very well. It's a great relief to know that whenever we have an issue with her, Kyle will be available to help. I can't recommend him enough!

    Kyle is our guy for Richmond and he has changed our lives! My partner and I got our first dog Poppy-a 6 month puppy from the shelter. Within the first week of having her, she ripped out of her crate while we were both at work and chewed anything she could get her paws on. We did a quick google search and found Bark Busters and signed up that night. We are currently on the 3rd visit and our pup is an angel! Kyle has taught us how to effectively communicate with Poppy which has led to a strong puppy human relationship. I can rest well at night knowing that the only thing she will be chewing on will be the Nylabones we give her. Im so happy I will never have to research and pay for any other dog training services ever again!

    If you are looking for help in dealing with a challenging training situation with a puppy or adult dog, Kyle Milwit at Bark Busters should be the first person you call! We have a young puppy & wanted to head off some problems before they became major issues down the road. After just a short period of time with Kyle, utilizing the techniques he taught us, our puppy has done a complete turnaround with painful nipping & biting. It is amazing to see how effective the tools that Kyle gave us are working.
    The thing I really appreciate about Kyle’s training approach is that he clearly loves his work, loves dogs, & believes that all dogs just need to be taught what is expected of them. Once they are, & proper techniques are used, (no physical or harmful methods), dogs respond quickly. Kyle taught us that it’s all about “learning to speak dog!”

    Kyle was immediately responsive to us when we reached out, & followed up our in-home training session with additional videos & resources. I love that once you become a Bark Busters client, you’re a client for life for no additional cost. It’s also extremely helpful that all training is done in our home, in our puppy’s environment, so Kyle can see & address training issues where they occur, rather than in a class in a different setting. It’s also a huge help to be able to talk & text with Kyle as additional questions come up, to get reassurance & direction to address issues right away.

    Photo of Teddy Kyle did an excellent job of explaining my pet’s behavior to me and also offering techniques for corrective action. Fantastic trainer!

    Photo of Barkley Kyle can help you!
    There are many things about working with Kyle that are mentionable. He was always on time and respectful of our role as the pack leaders when he came into our home. He was observant, demonstrated techniques and gave recommendations and suggestions. Barkley LOVED him and Kyle was always willing to get on Barkley’s level for training and giving some pets!
    We just had someone to our home that said, ‘Wow! Barkley has come a long way!’ We are fortunate to have such a great-natured dog, but Kyle trained us how to be his leaders and we are all so much better for it.
    Kyle is super responsive and available. He cares about what he does and he cares about helping you. Let him!
