Nicole is a rock star dog trainer who helps us keep our pup happy and well-trained. We've called upon her many times since we signed up for life-time help and each and every time our pup is a new dog after she puts us all back on the right track!! We can't recommend her enough to anyone looking to get their dog trained properly!
Thank you, guys! It is always a pleasure to work with you and Kobe. And I'm thrilled that he got back into tip-top shape so quickly! Keep up the great work with him, and we'll see you on a walk soon!

I had a fantastic training session with Nicole and couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She helped me focus on attentiveness training with my dog and gave thoughtful, constructive feedback on how I’ve been guiding and correcting behavior. Her insights on strengthening my leadership were especially valuable — they gave me a clearer sense of how to build a more confident and responsive relationship with my dog.
Nicole took the time to understand my dog’s history, which really helped put some of the behavioral challenges into context. Her ability to tailor the training to our unique situation made all the difference. The guidance she provided was clear, actionable, and supportive. I left the session with specific things to work on before our next meeting, and I saw immediate improvements in my dog’s behavior.
What stands out most is Nicole’s communication — she’s thorough, encouraging, and follows up after sessions, which helps tremendously in staying on track. I truly appreciate the support she provides and am excited to continue working and learning with her. Highly recommend!
Thank you, Jessica, for the amazing review! It is a pleasure to be able to help you and Rio. Though I didn't get to meet him as a puppy, since he trained with a colleague in Florida 2 years ago, I can see he has grown into being a sweet, responsive adult dog. And I'm glad that our Lifetime Guarantee of Support was in place to help you guys get the support you needed after the move! Look forward to continuing to see his progress!

Nicole has been amazing with helping us new dog parents navigate our puppy. The short, direct exercises she has shown us have been extremely effective in training our puppy and provide more sanity in our lives. Nicole is kind and caring and extremely knowledgeable about dog training. We could not be happier with our experience with her. Thank you, Nicole!
Thank you for the great review, Claire! It has been a pleasure to work with your family and Cooper, and I am so pleased with how he's doing. Excited to continue to watch him grow, mature, and progress!

Nicole is absolutely fantastic! She worked wonders with our dog, providing expert guidance, patience, and personalized training that truly made a difference. Her approach is both professional and compassionate, making it easy for both the dog and owner to learn. We saw incredible progress in a short amount of time, and our dog is now more obedient, confident, and happy.
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and caring trainer, Nicole is the one to call. Highly recommend her services!
Thank you so much, Joe, for the great review! It's been a pleasure working with you guys, and I am so happy to see how Bilbo has progressed and turned into quite a gentleman! Keep up the great work, and remember I am always here for you guys when you need more help :)

Nicole has been a very important part of my new puppy experience. I contacted Nicole prior to my puppy pickup day and she has been a wonderful part of my training. Her in home visits have been instrumental and she is so responsive in between visits to provide guidance and support. My puppy loves her and is so excited every time he sees her. If you live in the area she supports I highly recommend her training experience.
Thank you, Phyllis!! It's been a joy guiding you and Toby through all things puppy, and I am excited to see him continue to grow and learn :)

I adopted my dog on a Sunday and hired Nicole the next Friday! My rescue was dealing with separation anxiety after being in a shelter then multiple foster homes. Her crying and barking whenever I left was tough for both of us, not to mention my neighbors living in my apartment building! Nicole helped me with this issue, taught me how to crate train so she viewed it as a comfortable spot to relax in. I also purchased a ring camera so I can check in which was her idea. Lainey is now so calm and quiet when I leave, she just curls up and takes a nap!
My dog was also good on the leash but she's gotten even better with the training and group walks!
Thank you, Jessica! It has been a pleasure to see Lainey make so much progress. I am thrilled that she is so relaxed when you're out, and it's always great to see her strutting her stuff at the group walks :)

Nicole is amazingly knowledgeable about dogs and very well prepared. We did several “mother dog” and recall exercises with my hyper 5 month old puppy, Jojo, and the response was immediate! I actually had a much easier than usual afternoon and evening with Jojo as a result.
Thank you for the great review PJ! It was great to see how Jojo responded in the first session, and I am excited to see how she progresses as we continue to work together!

I rescued Sherman when he was 11 months old. We have been together 6+ years. He initially had terrible separation anxiety.
Constant Howling. I tried to reason with him by talking to him-"Man, work with me on this." He obviously did not understand.
I then went to the web and found Bark Busters who paired us with Nicole. Through a Behavioral Non Invasive Approach(No Electric and No Choke Collars)- the howling got under control. Nicole has been very helpful to us through out the years and is great on follow-up. Sherman and I highly recommend her. By the way, I have found that about 80% of Nicole's training is for the dog parent with the balance 20% for the dog(No Joke).
Thank you, Barry, for the great review! It is always a pleasure to work with you and Sherman, and I have enjoyed seeing him grow and mature over the years. You've done a great job at implementing the program and course-correcting when things have gotten off track, and Sherman is so relaxed because of it!

I can't say enough positive things about Nicole and the Bark Busters program. My dog has been transformed. I was worried Brody was too old for training/retraining to make a difference but I decided to give it one more shot. What a change! We have gone from my being on constant alert for other dogs on our walks so that I could change directions and/or wait behind a car so Brody didn't see the dogs to actively seeking out other dogs to continue training Brody. They are now barking at him to try to get him to react and he just cooly walks on by. Same thing with the doorbell and people coming over. He now doesn't even come downstairs or to the front door if the doorbell rings. This is vs. going nuts if he heard a car door shut on the street. The program is an investment, but it is SO worth it! Thank you Nicole for giving me the dog I always knew Brody could be.
Thank you for the great review Julie! It's been incredibly cool to see and hear about Brody's transformation, and I know that he is benefitting from the great job you are doing at reinforcing with practice and sticking to the program.
