    We highly recommend Lydia O’Leary at Bark Busters! She has helped us so much with our nervous rescue dog! When we started bark busters our pup was so afraid of strangers and would bark in fear when people came over; since Lydia has given us the training tools and information, we have seen our dog become so much more calm and way less fearful. The techniques that bark busters teaches really do work; we had exhausted all reward based training options and were getting nowhere, but our dog responds so well to Lydia and the methods she has taught us. Lydia is so kind and encouraging and has been so responsive to our needs! She’s come back multiple times for tune-ups with our dog, and has even provided us ongoing support as we prepare our dog for our new baby coming in June. The peace of mind and on going support from Lydia and Bark busters has been more than worth the investment. Our dog is happy and calm and her behavior has and continues to improve every day!

    Michael was patient and kind during our whole process. After our first session with him we have seen significant changes in our dog! I highly recommend his services. He taught us how to successfully train our dog! (And to be honest me, I needed the training too!)

    Sharon from Bark Busters came to my home today for 3 hours and left me with a new dog! My little boy Chip was having difficulty resource guarding issues and not very friendly to our boy dog in the home. By the time Sharon from BB left, I had a pup who looked at me differently and definitely acted different. It was great! I realize I have to keep up with the exercises, but I feel better about my future with Chip and I know he is feeling more confident and comfortable. Thank you so much!

    Photo of We’re experienced dog owners, but Clementine completely humbled us. We adopted her, as a puppy, thinking she was a small-breed chihuahua mix, but it turns out she’s about 80% working dog (Malinois, Border Collie, Shepherd) and only 20% chihuahua…which explains a lot in hindsight. One day, the world became terrifying to her. We couldn’t walk down the street or have people in our home and were honestly losing hope. She was reactive to everything, and despite months of training on our own, nothing helped. I also have an energy-limiting disability, which made her extreme protectiveness even harder to manage. We were running out of options.

    Hiring Jared from Bark Busters was our last resort and the best decision we made. Clementine has done a complete 180. We went from not being able to walk down the street or have visitors to hosting family and taking her to crowded restaurants. Jared’s approach is practical, grounded in how dogs actually communicate, and it works. We went from feeling helpless to confident again, and Clementine is thriving. If you’re stuck or feel out of options, hire him. You won’t regret it. And bonus: he’s an awesome person too.

    Connie has been a godsend for our family. We were having issues with our dogs’ reactivity on walks and were searching for a trainer and training method that felt right for us. However, most of what we found was either treat based, which did not work with our large reactive dogs, or dominance and physical correction based which didn’t resonate with us. Connie showed us a third way. By helping us better understand our dogs, their needs, and their communication style, she taught us how to shift our entire relationship to one in which we are the authority and we can all feel safer and more relaxed. Our walks and home life are now much more enjoyable and we feel empowered to make the changes necessary to improve our lives.

    Photo of Lucy Jerry was SO helpful. I tried other training classes only to be disappointed in the results. Barkbuster's technique was immediately effective. My dog responded very quickly and with a little practice, her behavior improved tremendously! The way Jerry explained everything made so much sense! He taught me so much about my dog, dog behavior, and gave me tools that have greatly improved our quality of life!

    Google Review: "Betty Lou and Rachael were great and they helped our very skittish Great Dane Thor to become much more social and confident. People remark weekly on the change in him and how happy he seems. He has also learned to be the alpha dog to our younger pup who also benefited from their behavior and leash training. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to help their pups learn to fit more into the family and to be more well behaved pups."

    Google Response: "Hi Robyn,
    It was a pleasure working with y'all. And we are so happy to see the relaxed, friendly and confident dog Thor has become. And, of course, we always love working with puppies. That Zeus is one sweet boy!

    Pam is a miracle worker! I have a German Shepherd that started to display aggression. I was afraid to walk him when other dogs were around. It got to the point I wouldn't walk my dog until midnight! After working with Pam, I learned to establish myself as a leader and get Buddy to actually listen to me. It's amazing the results you see when you learn to communicate with your pup. Buddy and I now enjoy multiple walks/day.

    Photo of Georgia Larry Rudginsky has been a kind and gentle teacher for my incredibly energetic and stubborn pup. She is learning manners and how to behave on and off a leash as well as walking near other dogs and people without running at them. It has been a challenge but she is learning to be acceptable in and with company! I like this program of learning together - very helpful for us both!

    Benji - a sweet dog with many issues like pulling extremely hard on the leash, resource guarding, attacking my cat, and jumping. All these problems were practically resolved within the first visit. He is like a brand new dog, he doesn't bark when someone rings the doorbell, pulls on walks, and now he even cuddles with my cat! We've seen such an improvement in his resource guarding issues as well!! Can't wait to continue to work with Benji and get him to where he needs to be. Thank you so much Mark!
