    Photo of Sunny and Finely We were able to learn more about our dogs, their instincts, and their needs to more effectively correct their unwanted behaviors.

    Trainer Note:
    Tricia was really pleased today during our session. We worked on Sunny's aggression and reactivity in and around the home. We have also worked on Finely's anxiety and demanding behavior. We also addressed Finley's barking in and out of the home.

    We had our daughter up for Christmas and she has a dog ,Jane, that was aggressive with other dogs and an all-around jerk to strangers. We have two small "snack size" dogs that wouldn't do good with Jane. I had heard of Pam working with dogs and getting good results so I scheduled an appointment to work with our dogs and Jane so we could avoid having to kennel our dogs. Pam worked with jane and our dogs and then brought them together and we were completely surprised at the change. She showed us how to be in charge and it made all the difference in the world. We learned several other things that made our dogs so much better also. Thanks Pam. Our Daughter will be in town next week and we just remembered that we don't need to find a dog sitter this time.

    Photo of Carlie I never believed I could take control of my dog. We were so impressed by how easy it is to start a new way of living.

    The results we got in just the first lesson are amazing. Our barky , scared and aggressive terrier seems like a different dog. Very easy to implement and couldn’t be more impressed with Omar and the techniques he taught us to use. Highly recommend Bark Busters.

    We've been to quite a few trainers and did not get the results that we did with Erind in just 1 session. He is clear, affable, understanding, and I could tell he really processes the information we're giving him about our pups. We are already seeing incredible results and look forward to continued in home training and "tune ups" for years to come.

    Gusty came by today to help my godparents with their dog Mylo. He has been struggling with barking and stranger aggression and we have spoken to a few other trainers without success. Both of my godparents are older and slightly disabled so I was concerned about their ability to be able to train Mylo and to be consistent. However, after only 1 hour, Gusty had already begun to curve his behavior significantly and given my godmother (and me) significant hope for the future! By the end of the lesson we felt like we knew exact how to handle the situation and were excited to learn more. I cannot recommend her more! If you have any concerns about your dog's behavior or simply want to learn more about the way they think, trust me and give her a call, you won't regret it!

    Thank you for the review on Yelp Kelsey! It was a pleasure to work with you and your godmother and Mylo! He is showing great responsiveness to the training and look forward to continue working with you all!

    Believe me…if you live in Mpls and have any issue with your dog(s), you must call Lydia and Michael of Bark Busters! I could kick myself for procrastinating (as I always do) for weeks after hearing about them from a relative. Moving from our big house in Duluth to a one-bedroom apartment in Mpls was a big adjustment for both Lucy and me. In the past 6 to 7 years Lucy had only guarded her bones, but now she slowly started guarding household items. It wasn’t fun watching this cute, previously funny vizsla take total control of my life. Of course, I was smart enough to figure out how to get my phone, shoe, remote back, but it was time consuming, enabling, and totally embarrassing. It took years for this problem to develop, and I couldn’t imagine how it could be solved. And then Lydia arrived at my apartment! That night I walked into bedroom to find Lucy standing over my phone. I said ‘drop it’ in a low, quiet voice……AND SHE DID!

    I still can’t believe that in ~ two hours Lydia trained both of us and I became the leader in this pack of two. Guarding was the most disruptive issue she helped us with, but my training list went on: front door barking, attentiveness, jumping up on guests, barking at other dogs, pulling on her leash. See what I mean by magic?

    Lydia is such a fun person to deal with and she obviously loves dogs and people! You can feel totally comfortable inviting this team into your home, so don’t wait like I did…call them!

    Oh. My. Dog.

    Seriously. They're not enough words to describe how amazing Bark Busters was.

    We had a 10 yr old 70 lb rescue (pitbull/rhodesian ridgeback mix) who had a checkered past (had been used as a bait dog). We have had her for 9 years and she's been good. Iffy with some dogs so we just kept her out of dog parks. Mid January we rescued another dog (pitbull/staffy/? Mix) He is about 1yr old and was found running in a parking lot, emaciated. Well introductions didn't go well. He was partially house trained and knew how to sit but had NO doggy manners at all. He'd pull horribly on the leash, jump and climb all over us and the other dog. At which point she'd growl and then he'd try to bite her Throat. It was at the point we had baby gates installed and had to keep them separate. We were desperate And worried we might have to send the new dog back to the Humane Society.

    ONE SESSION with Justin, at our home and the difference was LITERALLY night and day. I even had the two of them laying in our bed together! He walks nicely on the leash now, and we can even FEED them together!!! I can't say ENOUGH about this trainer. NO shock collar/prong collar/choke chain needed. And no excessive use of treats needed. I know. sounds like voodoo or something but IT WORKS. He's pricier than your standard "obedience" training but it's worth it!!! He works with you AND the dog. He comes to you so your dog is being trained in the home environment.

    TLDR: BEST. TRAINER. EVER. Worth every penny! YOU WANT THIS TRAINER. TRUST ME.
