    We’ll share more results as the weeks unfold, but I can report we saw results within five minutes! I’m dead serious. That’s all it took for the new homo sapien pack leaders to emerge. The very first exercise laid the ground work for everything that followed and the transformation was, and has been phenomenal. We’ve spent thousands of dollars on training over the last five years on our precious Darby to no avail - she just isn’t treat motivated. And that’s the point, she wasn’t looking for a treat, she wanted a pack leader. After the first session she now walks on a loose leash for the first time ever. I can’t tell you what a relief that is. Instead of a “fur baby” we have a more balanced pet, which is as it should be. We’ll continue to reinforce the method and give a more thorough review later, but if this behavior continues it will be worth every penny. Thank you Lori - you were awesome!

    5 month update!
    I can’t begin to relate how much improvement and progress we have seen in Darby since the first day Lori worked with her. It was such a relief to have a more responsive pet - one that would actually listen and react to our needs. But as we settled into the Bark Buster method we felt additional instruction was warranted to continue the improvement. Lori was very responsive and through that effort we were able to take Darby to the next level. To say I was skeptical of what Lori said we could achieve is a major understatement, but we did. I still can’t believe it. Darby has been the most challenging pet we have ever had, but also the most endearing. The training has resulted in an even more loyal and loving relationship and for that we are eternally grateful.
    If you need some guidance for your pet and are unsure who to call, look no further. Bark Busters/Lori Carr worked for us like no other.

    We’ve loved working with Lori at Bark Busters over the years. I’ve learned the importance of being a wolf pack leader and the skills to match. We tried a few different trainers before her but her methods are the ones we still use even once we got a new puppy again. She answered our millions of questions in a way we could implement time and time again. It was an investment that’s paid off.

    I have a 7 month old Pitbull who is friendly but super energetic.

    I got to a point where I worried he wouldn’t be able to be trained properly.

    I’m grateful Lori was able to work with us. She is very knowledgeable and my roommates and I were shocked at the results we saw within a couple of hours on the first day.

    We’ve been keeping up with the simple, daily homework and our dog is improving by the day. I can’t wait to see how he turns out months from now.

    I would highly recommend Lori. You’ll get the results you’re looking for and she teaches a method that builds a strong relationship with your dog.

    Dani had been displaying aggression in the past month which led David to reach out! Today we addressed the aggression and door manners. We also took the time to address Bearington as well, and quickly realized he was contributing to a lot of the problems. It was great to see the results and now David has the tools to continue the success.

    Very good results with out a lot of complicated commands. Our little mini Schnauzer is making good progress from the initial training that Omar provided on his first visit. It was quite remarkable to actually hear less barking !

    We have a 2 yr old rescue with a lot of anxiety. In our attempt to love our dog, we were letting her run the house and dictate what she wanted and when. Our first session with Scott/Bark Busters was very positive. Our dog responded right away to the instruction, and the behavior changes needed from us/owners were very realistic and doable. We never thought we could get a response from our dog without treats and are loving the results so far! We also love that we have support for as long as we have our dog .

    Evan is a great help with our new rescue Dusty. There is a huge difference after our first session. Evan gave us easy and effective tools to correct unwanted behaviors. Everything is much better and we're looking forward to our next visit. The in home training is great.

    Photo of Wondering what to do about your dog? You love your pup but maybe training is a bit off and you feel like your pup is just not “ trainable” you have started to just accept the way it is .. you would like to have a more behaved dog but something is just a miss? Well that was me and in a bit of desperation my hubby called Bark Busters and Ryanne came out to our house sat with us and educated us on dog speak/ green zone / yellow zone/ red zone and we have started the work and amazed at how our dog has adjusted to the new way! Resource aggression has been dealt with in a proper way several times already and we will keep doing our part as responsible owners to make a better experience for our pup and us!! Thx you Bark Busters for helping us learn how to be better dog owners!! ??❤️pick up the phone and know it will work for you too!!

    Photo of Stella & Ruby I can’t say enough amazing things about Bark Busters -especially Ryanne. Her confidence, knowledge, and skill exudes out of her. Her love and respect of dogs is evident in the way she teaches us humans how to read and respond to our dogs. She has set us up to be the best owners we can be and we couldn’t be more excited to continue working with her!

    Bark Busters has been a major help to us. We rescued 2 puppies and did not know where to begin training. As it turned out we needed to be trained first. The first thing I learned is dogs can pick up on your anxiety. I had to learn to speak calmly so I would not confuse the dogs.
    The basic training for the dogs took about a week and now we are moving on to more advanced commands.
