    Photo of Rosie & Penny We are very please with the progress we have made with our two dogs in a short amount of time with Bark Busters. Our past experience has been with senior dogs that are often very docile. When we adopted two younger dogs, we were struggling with their behavior. The one on one training that Ryanne has provided has increased our confidence and skills in working with our dogs. While we have done obedience training before, the skills from Bark Busters has taught us how to be a pack leader and better communicate with them. I believe that we are building a better relationship with our dogs and saw a noticeable difference in their behavior after the first session. The concepts make sense to me and it is evident that Ryanne understands dogs and can help address the root of the problem. We are so grateful!!!

    Photo of Dilly Absolutely could not be happier! Dilly was extremely dog aggressive. We had tried so many ways to correct this - dog trainers, snacks, muzzles - nothing worked. When we moved to an apartment earlier this year, the situation became desperate. Then Omar and Bark Busters came into our lives!
    Literally in TWO sessions, Dilly is a new dog - I like being with him again and enjoy going for walks. The training was simple and made sense. Omar did a great job explaining the why's of DIlly's behavior. Omar spent the time necessary to make sure I knew the lessons and how to properly communicate with Dilly so we could effectively work together. The difference is astonishing and I feel confident in walking him around our apartment complex (we have had two encounters and both times Dilly settled quickly and then ignored the other dogs). It is unbelievable and I am still in shock, but it is true.
    Dilly's and our other dog's aggressive barking when a dog walks by in the hallway or outside, has also abated and it is wonderful! It is the best money I have spent on my dogs and has renewed and saved our relationship!

    Photo of Molly We have loved our Bark Busters experience, and can’t recommend this team highly enough! We called because two of our dogs were fighting, but their teaching and tips have completely improved the lives of all of our dogs. We have seen such an improvement in behavior that we only regret not calling sooner.

    Photo of Stella & Nala We are so thankful for Ryanne and Bark Busters. Before meeting Ryanne we were at a loss on how to help our new rescue. She was biting at clothes and trying to destroy our furniture. Now we have a sweet pup who is learning we are alpha and who respects us. We also learned that our older dog was so nervous because she thought she needed to be leader of the pack. Ryanne taught us how to be the leaders and take back the control. We are starting to see huge improvements in both dogs and will continue working with both of them. Thank you so much to Ryanne!!

    Photo of Angel I was extremely surprised with the way my dog responded to the training. It is an odd way to train but works very effectively. I would highly recommend Bark Busters. The price is quite high and wish I would've started this training with a puppy. Now that I know how to train with these methods the price is worth it for use with future dogs.

    Photo of Kevin We adopted an adorable 5 month old puppy, Kevin, in late December. We have raised dogs before, but a puppy was a first for us. It was clear to us early on that we needed an expert’s help with training. I use crutches, so we thought it would be best to find someone who could come to us and help us learn in our home environment. Bark Busters sounded perfect. I was impressed with the level of detail we covered while making the first appointment, and the first visit happened quickly. Ryanne Jasmin spent time getting to know us and Kevin, and listened to our biggest challenges. She worked with us to create a plan and checked in to ensure that training was going in the right direction. Ryanne continues to be available for questions and is always very responsive and helpful. We’ve been impressed with the support we have received and also with the flexibility of the Bark Busters program - they understand that each situation is unique and adapt to make it work for you. Kevin is thriving thanks to Ryanne’s guidance!

    Photo of Teddy, Oliver, Gable & Dany Working with Ryanne at Bark Busters has been a game changer for our pack. After adding a fourth dog to our pack the balance was thrown off and leadership was tested. Ryanne taught us how to become the leaders of our pack and get our pack back in order. After two weeks following the Bark Busters technique we’re already seeing great improvements and calm has been restored in our household. I can’t thank Ryanne enough and fully recommend Bark Busters.

    Photo of It was like a miracle...I could not believe how well my terrible dog could behave. It helped me change the way I perceived my dogs ability to learn; I was hopeless and thinking of giving her away.
    I learned, and am learning, a lot in each session about how to communicate efficiently with her, and how to be a better leader for her: kind but firm, clear and consistent. After one session, no more pottying in the wrong places, hurray! I don't need to be angry at her for that problem any more. Regaining my space and having her respect and obey me is improving a lot too. I am really, really grateful to Bark Busters. The initial investment is high, but only one time and the training is FOR LIFE!

    Photo of Mocha Before placing my dog into this program, my dog was very aggressive. She used to bark when guests knocked at the door and even went so far as biting a loved one. But now after training with Bark Busters, we saw a drastic change in her within a week. I highly recommend bark Busters for anyone experiencing the same.

    We came to work with Paul from Bark Busters after my Australian shepherd starting having some territorial behaviors in the house towards our younger golden retriever. This was becoming a scary feeling and uneasy every time we would leave them alone together. After reaching out to Bark Busters and getting to work with Paul we have already noticed so many changes in our Australian shepherds behavior. We have learned many tools about becoming the leader in our home and correcting the behavior with some simple dog language. Paul has been very helpful with his personal and professional experience as a dog owner and trainer. I strongly you encourage to seek our Bark Busters. It is a lifetime guarantee and I know we will have new tools to learn as we grow into our family.
