    I can't say enough good things about Stephanie! From the very first session, she has been absolutely wonderful in helping me train my 3-month-old puppy, Casper. In just our first session--which lasted a generous 3 hours--Stephanie guided me with so much patience and knowledge on how to be the best puppy mom I can be.

    She's already helped us make huge progress with potty training, and Casper has started to improve with his barking and biting thanks to her techniques. Stephanie's approach is calm, supportive, and incredibly effective. I really appreciated how she focused not only on training Casper, but also on teaching me how to reinforce good behavior and build a positive relationship with him.

    Her schedule has also been extremely accommodating, which has made this whole process so much less stressful. I'm truly looking forward to our upcoming sessions and feel very lucky to have found her!

    Highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a compassionate, skilled, and professional dog trainer.

    My 7-year-old chihuahua mix Harlow has always been reactive. She would exhibit uncontrollable barking when she saw any other dog. I've previously tried many different training tools and methods, but nothing worked for us. When I met Stephanie from Bark Busters, I knew this training was going to be different. She was so patient, knowledgeable, and professional and Harlow quickly formed a bond with her. Stephanie always came prepared with new training techniques to try and together we worked to eliminate Harlow's reactivity. The dog I have now is completely transformed. Family and friends have noticed a huge change in her from a frightened reactive dog to a friendly relaxed one. I can't thank Stephanie enough, her training has been truly life-changing.

    I cannot recommend Stephanie and her training highly enough! As someone who loves my pup more than anything in the world, finding a trainer who genuinely cares about both my pet and their development was paramount. Stephanie exceeded all expectations with her expertise, patience, and personalized approach.

    From day one, Stephanie made a significant impact on the relationship between my dog and myself by tailoring training sessions to fit my dog's unique personality and needs. She used positive reinforcement techniques to strengthen our bond and now my dog now listens better, and is more confident!

    What truly sets Stephanie apart is her passion and dedication. She is always available to answer questions and provide support. Her love for animals shines through in everything she does.

    If you're looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective dog trainer, look no further than Stephanie. She has made a world of difference for us, and I am forever grateful.

    Stephanie has been an invaluable partner in my family's journey to help our Frenchie address her separation anxiety. Her love for animals, rich knowledge of how to care for them, and intuition for problem-solving have made her indispensable. Also, she's incredibly personable and fun to chat with, so what could feel like a slog (dog training, bleh) actually very quickly turns into something that you look forward to. We can't thank her enough!

    Bark Busters is a great find! $1595 for unlimited sessions for your dogs lifetime ($200 for additional dog). Definitely the cheapest dog training I've found out there. Apparently their business is in 3 different countries so you'll still be able to continue the training if you move someplace else.

    Stephanie is a wonderful trainer with Bark Buster. During our initial meeting, she explained my dogs' behaviors clearly and how I could address them better so they understand. I wasn't expecting such fast results, but my walk with them the next morning was unbelievable. For context, I have a 3 y/o M Doberman/Husky (neutered) with attention seeking & hyperactive issues. He's aggressive with other dogs & people on walks, and pulls hard on the leash. My other dog is a 2 y/o M Malitpoo (neutered) who barks at everything inside & outside the house. For the first time ever, using the tools & tips from Stephanie, my D/H was looking at me & walking by my side the entire time. We came up on 3 individuals with big dogs on separate occasions , but my dogs actually listened to me to sit and they just stared at me as the dogs passed them. although they saw the other dogs, they remained calm (no tensed bodies & pointy hair) and didn't bark.

    My D/H is still learning, but from that walk I knew I chose the right trainer for my dog. Can't wait to see how much more my dogs improve so they can truly enjoy their life to the fullest.

    Been training my dog with Bark Busters for a little under a year and it was been such a fantastic experience! We've been working with Stephanie to help my dog relax and let his guard down. We started with the treat training and door training and he has made some significant changes! We learned how to communicate with him and understand his body language and it has made such a difference. Stephanie has helped reinforce the trainings and make sure we're on the right path!

    Stephanie is great! As first time dog parents we needed some guidance. So thankful we found Stephanie who provided us with some wonderful information and tools to help us with our new fur baby!

    So thankful for Stephanie and her guidance, I was a little skeptical but after I saw the way my dog responded within our first lesson I was pleased to say the least. Benji was very receptive to her and I now have the tools to train him on my own. Thanks Stephanie!

    Stephanie is the best!! I’ve run through so many different and “well credentialed” trainers and the bark busters method helped my pup improve almost night and day within one session! She’s also very sweet and you can tell really loves the dogs she works with. It’s been such a pleasure working with her and bonding with my pup more. Book her now!
