Jared at Bark Busters did an amazing job working with my dog and keeping her prey drive under control. Watching him in action was amazing, he broke her attention away from a squirrel multiple times and was very quick on rewarding her. He explained everything as he did it, so I could work with her whenever the opportunity arrived in the future. This is the most important part with training from my experience, the knowledge to replicate the training so we as pet parents can reinforce it throughout our dogs lives.
I'm shocked by the effectiveness of some simple concepts applied. I have a lifetime of dog ownership (mostly poodles) and now a 7-month old Yorkshire puppy who was a challenge. I saw the behavioral changes before my eyes in the first training! Let's be clear tho....the training is for the human not the dog. It was what I did (not the dog) that completely reset our relationship and as a result turned a wild puppy into a well obeyed puppy who actually looks at me and listens! Jared is the best! And he came back to check on me (not the dog) to see if I was practicing and was having a good experience. I bought the "for life" package and could not be happier.
Let me start by saying I love this training style. It’s all about communicating effectively with your dog (no shock collars or prong collars AND no excessive treats). I grew up with chronically misbehaving dogs and had parents default to prong collars, so I was a little uncertain about this training style actually working, but I already notice improvements!
Overall, Jared was helpful, thoughtful, and thorough. We covered a ton of information during the first session. We focused on leashed walks, attentiveness, jumping, barking, personal space, and general manners (not crowding while we eat, stealing shoes, staying away from the door while we enter/ exit, etc.). We even went over diet. We gave us a lot of material to review and ways to track progress over weeks so it wasn’t overwhelming and it’s easier to stay consistent. He was well-prepared for the session and even brought a stuffed dog!
He helped my two dogs (11 year old rescue and 5 month old German shepherd) as well as my boyfriend’s dog (5 year old pitbull mix rescue). There was noticeable improvement with the puppy before the end of the first session. Thank you, Jared!
Bark Busters has been a major help to us. We rescued 2 puppies and did not know where to begin training. As it turned out we needed to be trained first. The first thing I learned is dogs can pick up on your anxiety. I had to learn to speak calmly so I would not confuse the dogs.
The basic training for the dogs took about a week and now we are moving on to more advanced commands.
I was so grateful that Dalila was able to come to my house and help me with managing my new puppy. I loved all her helpful tips and tricks to keep her happy, exercised and feeling safe. I can't wait to keep learning more and look forward to being able teach my baby how to be a well rounded pup.
I was very much impressed with the way Dalila's training Milla from the very first moment, treats free, with very soft voice and tone. Milla was happy to follow her instructions with tail wagging drastically and bud shaking. Amazing and funny! She has improved her behavior quite some after 2 classes, has been listening to my instructions got from Dalila.
Though Milla is a small puppy, with her breed's nature, she is very hyper, barking, jumping, very anxious with separation, these were the headaches I had been handling with no better solution. I sent her to a training center not far, was not satisfied with no improvement after several private classes but treats feeding nonstop each time. So, I started to search for a better training facility, glad I found Bark Busters, especially got Dalila.
Milla still has some way to go in getting her behavior under control, with lifetime warranty that Bark Busters offers and Dalila's training, I am very confident she will be a perfect loving girl. Thanks a lot Bark Busters and Dalila.
I would also highly recommend people who are searching for doggy behavior trainer, do consider Bark Busters.
Dalila’s training is amazing. She truly cares about her clients and the overall success of the puppy training. We’ve had 3 consultations so far in the first 6 weeks and we can easily say the training advice and tips have been working for our puppy. Thank you, Dalila!
I was blown away by the results Dalila taught me with my puppy. I had carefully researched all the companies around and Bark Busters was the only one that didn't use shock collars, treats or negative reinforcement of some kind. That checked my first box. Secondly they had great reviews. I had a dog that passed away and I thought I knew how to train a dog but this adorable puppy Jaz and I couldn't get on the same page. In fact, we couldn't even find the paper together! Dalila helped us on basic obedience, uncontrollable barking and jumping all over visitors when they came to the door. I can't wait to see how Jaz and I progress! Oh and the third box is their Lifetime Guarantee. They follow you for the life of your dog!
Very impressed after about an hour of our first training session with Dalila. What she was able to teach my puppy to do was incredible! Right before my eyes, my puppy was paying attention and doing everything I was asking of her. The training doesn't involve treats, harsh punishment, or gimmicks. It was just communicating in a way my pup understands. The purpose of the first session was to teach me how dogs communicate, learn, and act around humans and other animals. It was quite eye opening. Basically, teaching me how to communicate and why she responds SO WELL to it. Simply put, this training WORKS :) It is like no other training style I've heard of and the crazy thing is, it's natural. I'm on the first full day and the difference in my puppy is amazing! If I didn't see it happening, I wouldn't believe it.
