Ryanne and Omar have 100% changed my life! Before Bark Busters I was told that I would have to put my dog down or give him away because of his aggression. Now he’s happy and everyone else in my family is happy!
We have a large (50+ lbs.) 7-month-old German Shephard. Big dog but he is still a puppy (Teddy). After an initial consultation with Ryanne to discuss the behavioral issues that we were having, she was quickly able to help us establish ourselves as leaders for Teddy. After we learned to speak dog, Teddy began to respond immediately during the first session. We are continuing to practice with him and progress is moving along just fine. We would have never thought of a way to communicate with Teddy without using treats and discipline.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I wish you guys continued success w/ Teddy's training and can be contacted ANYTIME for support!

After just one session I noticed a huge change in my dogs behavior and felt like I had a variety of tools to support my dog. Ryanne is knowledgeable and friendly. She makes herself available for support between sessions and it’s clear she is truly passionate about what she does. I would highly recommend Ryanne and the Bark Busters model to anyone who wants support in having a happy and healthy dog.
I cannot say enough good things about Ryanne and Bark Busters! The training, support and guidance that Ryanne has provided for us and our dog Coco has truly changed our family! Our rescue dog Coco was struggling with her behavior when guests came over and encounters with other dogs, from the first session we saw immediate changes with Coco. We have a truly happier dog and everyone is beyond impressed with the changes. Ryanne is always willing to help and goes above and beyond - we cannot recommend Bark Busters enough!
Thank you Louise for the opportunity to help and the kind words. I am very happy for all of your success with Coco! Be sure you keep up with your exercises and CALL ME ANYTIME!

We enlisted Bark Busters to help with our 4 year old lab mix who was getting a bit too territorial about the yard. Ryanne and Omar were great in helping us recognize the signs of escalating behaviors and taught us how to stop them before they got started, keeping our dog in the Green Zone. Our dog’s behavior has modified greatly, and he seems less anxious and happier. Ryanne was great about keeping in touch and checking in on our progress. We like Bark Busters philosophy and are very happy we enlisted them!
Thank you Tracy, It's our pleasure to be working with you guys! So happy Gus is living his best life and is more calm, relaxed and responsive. Keep up the great work and call us anytime!

We rescued our dog, Rutabaga, when she was about 1 year old, and she's now 7.5. We've always had issues with barking, and now that we are expecting a baby, we decided we needed to do more than just correcting/treats. Omar came out for our first appointment, and we learned about the psychology behind a lot of her behavior. It has been 4 days, and we've already noticed a difference. Obviously we still have plenty of work to do, but we can't get over the changes we've already seen! We love that these results aren't based on any kind of physical punishment, and Rutabaga genuinely seems calmer. We're so excited to continue working with her, and are just thrilled with the progress so far.
Hi Diane! Thanks for sharing your experience w/ Bark Busters and others! This truly makes my day and I look forward to carry on working with you guys.

Omar Bark Busters! Bar None!
I hv a puppy growing to b a big big dog. His behaviors from being a rescue pup needed to be changed asap as he would be around babies & toddlers. (For our experience, After just 1 session with Omar, he showed us & brought out the sweetheart of the dog we actually have.) I've had dogs for 50 years, but one lesson with Omar not only changed my puppy's behavior but mine & my whole family-including our other dog we had no concern with. No gimmicks, no hving to carry treats around, nothing punitive. . Omar in one visit changed our viewpoint & put the power back into our hands that I didn't realize I was missing. I can now stop majority of my dogs "bad" behaviors saying 1 word w/o getting out of my chair & I can do it from the next room. Omar has an immediate presence when he enters the house & u can tell my dogs notice as well. Omar demeanor is positive, calm, control of the situation. He assessed our family-dog dynamic down to the detail & aligned our sessions w that in mind. In-between sessions, we can call,text, email as often as we need to & Omar will respond same day. He loves dogs & sees the best in my dogs including their individual specialpersonalities. I would text Omar about a success moment & he was thrilled as we were. If there was a regress moment or an unexpected/new behavior popped up- I texted Omar & very quickly got in touch w me on how to handle & correct the behavior. We don't hv anymore anxiety if something pops up that is going to take more', Omar is 1 text away. Thank you so much Omar!
Absolutely life changing!! Being able to understand why are dogs were barking so much and behaving they way they did, and then be able to communicate in an effective manner to them was incredible. We didn’t realize how stressed our dogs were until Ryanne, and the BarkBusters curriculum, showed us that happy dogs are mellow and submissive… not barking and jumping. It’s like we have completely different animals. We were at the point of shock collars and locking them away, which was not effective in anyway in stopping the behavior it just gave us a break from it, and now we see a whole new side of our dogs and love them even more!! Knowing we have the Barkbuster team for our dogs whole life is so reassuring for the well being of my animals and family.
Thanks for the kind review! Hearing your feedback makes my day!! Keep me posted on how the pups are doing and when you would like additional support:)

We were at 6 months with our new puppy and she was as lawless as could be (jumping on people, barking at every little noise, counter surfing, pulling on the leash). We tried treats for training and she learned a few commands but wouldn’t do them on command without the treats. Enter Bark Busters. Within the first 2 hours we had the respect of our dogs and a way to uphold the laws of the household. We feel in control and equipped with the tools to keep it that way. No shock collars, no treats, only respect. IMMENSE Thanks to Omar and the BarkBusters techniques!
Thank you, Aaron, for the amazing review. I am so pleased to know that your experience with us was a good one. I look forward to our continued support & training. Kind regards, Omar Rubio | Bark Busters Twin Cities

I'm so glad we chose Bark Busters! After taking my now 1 yr old GSD to basic training at 4 months at 7 months he started not following commands any more etc! Plus barking at every one.
We love working with Ryanne & having her teach us in our own home how to teach a dog how they should act & us being the pack leader. It's been roughly 3 weeks & our GSD is making so much progress! Still working on his separation anxiety, but I know we'll get there! Here's Charlee after some long lead excerizes today. :)
If there's anything I can say is chose Bark Busters before anything else, they're life savers!
Thank you Donna! The 3 of you are great to work with! I see the effort going in to Charlee's training and am very impressed:D Reach out anytime for additional support! -Ryanne
