    My older dog Luna has always been a bit territorial and was never good with strangers coming to my house. It was always very stressful having people over. When I adopted my second dog Bacon back in September, I wanted to start training to make sure things didn't get out of control with multiple dogs in the house. After only a few weeks of training, I saw tremendous success with Luna inside the home! Something I never thought was possible. The whole experience so far has been excellent!! Nicole is very responsive to my emails and is always available to give advice and feedback. She is very understanding of each dogs individual needs and gives suggestions and different approaches to training when needed, which I love! Like people, we all learn differently and she finds what works best for you and your dog and will set you up for success. Very personable and friendly when she comes to my house. She gives praise when deserved and correction when needed. If you do your homework and put in the work, she WILL help you get results. I am very pleased with the progress and changes I have seen so far and am excited to continue working with her in the future! She is the best!

    Thank you, Samantha, for the great review! It has been amazing to see Luna's transformation from the first day we met. That would not have been possible without YOUR dedication to the process and to daily practice and reinforcement with both of your dogs. Luna and Bacon are lucky to have a mom who is willing to put in the time and effort to build that relationship with them!

    Photo of Beau & Belle Dogs responded very quickly to inside and outside training. Important for us to learn how to best communicate with our dogs, we are the boss.

    Great session today with Cathy and her dogs. We worked on barking, jumping, and leash manners. They responded very well, and Cathy was pleased. Now that Cathy has the tools to be consistent, I am really looking forward to their progress.

    Photo of Archie/ Lucy Great! Worked through a behavioral issue and learned a lot about controlling dominant puppy related to an older dog.

    Archie has been developing some bad habits in and out of the home. Today we addressed his behavior across the board, and he responded well! We also worked on his basic leash manners and also his door manners. We also worked on Lucys door manners and her barking in the home!

    Pam is amazing!!! We are SO happy we found her through Bark Busters. Our boxer, Judge, responded to her immediately. Her expertise in training is evident the moment she walks in the door. Not only is she extremely good at what she does, she’s also easy to talk to, personable and down to earth! Her love for animals in general is apparent as you can feel the love she shares with your dog while training.

    In the first training session we learnt how to communicate with our dog and correct barking, charging the door when company arrives, and how to establish behavior control. We used the technique effectively to correct misbehavior.

    Michael O’Leary from BarkBusters came to our home for a revisit/retraining session. It had been over a year since we started working with Michael. We have a 9 ish year old American Eskimo mix named Levi. We just adopted him about a year and a half ago. He had many issues but mostly we need help with aggression toward not only my husband but people and other dogs in general. He has come a long way, but we have had an escalation of barking at the front door, side door and yes, the back door. When Michael arrived at the front door, Levi was his true self. He was barking, jumping in the window sill and at one point growling. I tried all of my tricks, but it actually turned into quite a circus. Me trying to claim the space and him running around and avoiding me and my existence. Finally, I got a leash on him and brought him to his bed. I felt very defeated.

    Michael was very good at helping and reminding us that we needed to take back control. After about an hour of instructions and demonstrations and trial runs we feel back in control. Towards the end of our session and I was feeling confident about how to deal with claiming my space a neighbor just happened to knock at the door. I used the methods taught to us in the last hour and Levi stopped barking and immediately went and laid down in the other room. Exactly what I wanted him to do. The difference between when Michael arrived and when he left was NIGHT AND DAY. Amazing!! I highly recommend Michael O’Leary at Barkbusters.

    Jodie was knowledgeable and thorough. I learned so much about puppy training in just a couple hours in our first session. I feel great about my decision to invest in the lifetime guarantee program after meeting Jodie and already seeing results that will help our young family have a beautifully trained dog.

    Ben was wonderful with our 7 month old Shih Tzu Mina. Before we met Ben her barking was off the charts! Ben gave us the tools we needed to correct her behavior and helped us set boundaries. He also explained why some of the things we were doing were actually reinforcing her “barky” behavior (we had no clue!). Mina has always been a sweet and happy dog….but now she’s a sweet, happy, and QUIET dog. We are simply in awe. Thank you Bark Busters!
