Puppy Training

Don't walk, run to work with Bark Busters. Please read my review if you relate to any crate-anxiety issues.

Here's my story: I have a puppy GSD who's shockingly lazy, but his shepherdation (separation) anxiety was really out of control to the point where he could break out of his crate AND open my front door.

I would describe myself as highly dog knowledgable so I am VERY particular about the methods used by trainers. To each their own, but e-collars, prongs, etc are band-aids (or worseners) for most problems since most dog-owners don't really understand the timing/utility of these tools enough to ween off of them at any point. If your dog is a 100/10 lunatic, then I guess I get it :|

Anywho, I was honestly shocked to learn they don't even rely on clickers or treats, just straight up dog behavior and psychology, yet have the reviews they have.

Here's my summary. I am only 2 days post training, have received a comprehensive training plan with new crate recs, have gotten 5-7 minutes of a CALM dog in his crate once I've left (a miracle), and did nothing but learn to amend MY body languages and sounds.

Bonus that Anthony was an absolute delight to work with.

Hire them - you're welcome in advance ;)

A life-changing experience. John provided the most thorough, extensive lesson and training which had immediate effects on our puppy. John's patience, expertise and professionalism made the session productive and positive while training our dog. We are very grateful for John's help and understanding in helping us properly train Milton.

When we met Amber we were very impressed with her knowledge and with her enthusiasm we had just acquired a 10-month-old German Shepherd puppy and we needed to be able to not only integrate her into our family but she had a very bad habit of jumping on us and as a very large puppy, It was something we needed to address quickly .She gave us the tools and the steps we would need to not only accomplish this , but to also address some of the issues with our other dogs. We see this training as ongoing as the need arises. The total support that we get from this organization is ongoing for the life of our dogs and that was very impressive to us. We see this as a investment into our future and the future of our dogs and we know Amber will be there with us all the way.

It was a pleasure meeting Jeri for our first training. I learned so much on how to relate to Reiff. I was so happy to see a improvement only with the first lesson and it made me very hopeful and excited to know that Reiff will be able to be the best obedient and happy puppy that he deserves to be. Jeri was down to earth but very professional and you could see she loves and cares deeply of all pets.
Thank you so much and I’m looking forward to the future with Reiff.

Extremely impressed with the progress and looking forward to the next phase of the program.

He helped me take control of my dog. I feel better having my dogs together.

Gusty was able to perceive things in my dog that even I was unaware of. My dog, who is highly anxious and felt compelled to protect us, often charged and attempted to bite various people. However, after our second session, she was showing affection and even giving Gusty kisses. My dog is now much happier and easier to handle. The difference in my relationship with my puppy is remarkable, and I would recommend this service to anyone!

Gusty is fantastic. We had a new, problematic puppy that, among other behavioral issues, was not letting us sleep. With her first visit, Gusty quickly diagnosed the situation and our puppy stayed silent in her crate that night. She also recognized subtle behavioral issues with our older dog. We cannot recommend Gusty highly enough!

Gusty was a spectacular teacher. She was thoughtful, well versed, knowledgeable, and great with Ossie and Ginji. Ossie is 8 and Ginji 4 months. Justy made the generational differentiation, and gave us helpful education for both. A real educator and compassionate trainer.

Gusty was able in 2 hours to train my wife and I to transform our dog Roger into a so much better behave dog after just one session. We will to continue use the training techniques daily to make Roger even a better dog and companion. We look forward to our next training session to continue learn more exercises that we can pass on to Roger. So yes, we would highly recommend Gutsy for in home dog training.

Gusty is beyond amazing in training our little rescue 3-year-old Bichon. We've had her already for five weeks and she is a completely different dog all thanks to Gusty. She is gradually opening up her trust to us and it touches our hearts to the core to see these changes. We are learning patience that definitely pays off. We are so grateful and happy that Universe brought Gusty to our home. Highly recommend - If we could give Gusty ten stars, we would. RK

Our training session today was amazing! John, our trainer, was very knowledgeable and informative. He was very patient and thorough. He is willing to be available for us any time. Just amazing!!

Informative, easy to remember, easy to apply, and saw results immediately.

Amazing results in just a few minutes. Learning to speak dog seemed silly at first but it proved to be very effective immediately.

I had issues with Bella tugging on the leash constantly. Within a couple of minutes, Josh was able to teach me how to resolve the issue and was able to walk around the neighborhood with no issues at all.

Karen was totally professional with easy to understand training methods. Well worth the price.

John was professional, courteous, and very knowledgeable.

John was knowledgeable, professional, and his training skills are excellent! We saw results on night one and cannot thank John enough for coming into our lives at the right time!

We were amazed at the difference just a short session mae with our dogs, how effective the training is.

Karen was awesome! I am so happy my Veterinarian recommended Bark Busters. I was taught a method I have never heard of, speaking dog.

Today I learned how to communicate effectively with Jethro and provide him with structure he needs.

Esteffany and Mason are great professional trainers. Argos and I are enjoying their lessons and all the suggestions. Argos is making
progress.

Great experience thus far with Esteffany! Very thorough and attentive to my dogs needs and educating me on how to reverse bad behaviors - already seeing a noticable difference! Highly recommend

I am blown away!!! My puppy Skids, was reacting to everything. He was going off with the doorbell, FedEx, squirrels, even my in-laws. He would sit there and bark at them and they couldn’t even get in the house. It’s been a few days since my lesson, and I have never had a more peaceful house. I highly recommend! What really sold me as they come right to my house and that was my concern I didn’t want to send my. Thank you so much!

Training was great with Esteffany. A day later and my dog is already better

Mason was Wonderful I would Refer him as your Trainer he is Great was Great with our Black Mouth Cur Dexter

Such great information and a new twist to training we had not heard before…and it works!
