    Photo of Walker Overall went really Great! handled the situation perfect. Aware and let us know how to address the situations. He taught us to teach our family dog. We had an incident previously and he was really knowledgably on how to correct behaviors and reactions. I would 100 percent recommend!

    Trainer Note:
    Walker is a really smart pup! He was responding very well during our first session. We addressed his behavior in the home, around guests, and the front door. We also addressed his leash manners. He has redirected leash aggression and we are now teaching how to respond to stress and being around other dogs while on leash. I will be seeing them in the coming weeks to work further with him and check his progression.

    Photo of Mello Mello delt with anxiety, over excitement and barking at guests. We were taught leadership and boundaries and to teach respect and trust, Mello's behavior improved immediately.

    Mello is an awesome pup! He responded very well during our first lesson. We addressed his demanding barking and aggression around children. With Partick being consistent he will continue to improve.

    Maya has found a new forever home. She has been struggling to acclimate to her new home. She also doesn't know how to respond around males. We addressed these issues today and had very good success. I am really looking forward to her progress over the coming weeks and months!

    Communicative and passionate, Josh is a dog whisperer. After relocating, I was having some success with the basic training of my pup, Julius. But after six months, I had reached peak frustration with the growing pains that haunts most pup parents. However, after connecting and working with Josh, he left a tremendous impact on Julius’s behavioral learning, and helped me find clear and effective communication techniques to ensure I was a better dog dad - and Julius, a happier pooch. Thank you Josh!

    I really enjoyed working with Jack today. He has found a new forever home and has been struggling acclimating to his new forever home. We addressed his aggression and barking. We also addressed his leash manners. With Gary and Tracey being a leader in his life he will continue to improve.

    Rev has been very stressed out having to be the leader in his home and pack. Today Leann started to show leadership in the home. For the first time Rev and Nash were able to relax knowing mom was in charge. We addressed Revs aggression and barking. He responded very well! I am looking forward to their progress.

    Thank you so much, Sheri. We are doing our homework, and they're doing great so far.
    Still a little excitement when we return home, but they do move back and don't jump as much. I printed all material you sent. We will go over it tonight if time allows. Thanks again. Looking forward to our next class.

    Johnny Jumper is AMAZING!!! He is the "Cesar Millan" of Orange County. Our dog Bear showed significant improvement after just one training visit. Johnny is professional and always goes above and beyond for his clients. Our dog has continued to grow and thrive due to Johnny's training/leadership. I highly recommend Johnny and Bark Busters. We are very happy with the results.

    A few short weeks ago, our 4 dogs (yes 4, it’s a long story) were completely out of control. I couldn’t walk in my front door without being jumped on and scratched from ankle to hip. They barked uncontrollably at every knock and doorbell ring (including the perceived ring of Uber Eats commercials that were clearly contrived by cat owners). They rushed the door, crowded us when we sat down to dinner, the list goes on. All the “bad” dog behavior you can think of, they did it. And most critically, they began to fight. When we added the 4th dog to our long time pack of 3, chaos ensued as they attempted to figure out the pecking order. The newest (and youngest) addition began to challenge the alpha matriarch. We knew we had to make a change when one was seriously injured (don’t worry dear readers, she is happy and healthy now). We were consumed by guilt. How could we, experienced and long time dog owners, have failed so miserably? First, we reached out to a local trainer recommended by our vet. Much to our shock, before conducting any training or assessments, they told us rehoming was the only option. Devastated, we sought a second opinion and found Lori online. And let me tell you, this woman is an answer to our prayers. After the first training session, we felt empowered to restore harmony in our home by taking command of our pack. The “bahh” (you’ll know when you know) took some getting used to, but by the end of the session we saw massive behavior improvement that has only continued each day with consistent (and frankly easy) training. Lori taught us how to “speak dog” and be the leaders of our pack. Not only are we happier, but our dogs are clearly happier too. They look to us for direction instead of fighting amongst themselves. And our most perfect alpha matriarch (who is a tripod by the way) is finally at ease without the pressure of keeping everyone in line. Lori changed our lives and never once made us feel like bad dog owners. You won’t regret the decision to welcome her into your home.

    Hi Chelsea,
    Thank you so much for the wonderful review!
    It was my pleasure to help you train your "pack" and it was great to see how they all responded. You've done a great job with them and keep up the good work you are doing.
    Please call me anytime as I'm happy to come back to help you in the future.
    Thanks,
    Lori Carr
