We are so glad they sent Theresa to our house. She is very informative and Bark Buster Is lucky to have her she has redeemed our faith in the company because of a previous trainer. We really wanted to refund, but she has showed us that she can help us get control of Our Golden Doodle thanks so so much.

We are so pleased with the results while working with Heather! She prepared for our visit, asked thoughtful questions, and after visit one, we had remarkable results! We learned how to be better parents, and how to best assist our pup. She demonstrated techniques and practiced them with us and she was extremely patient.
PermalinkShe was so kind to us and did not judge our puppy. She adapted things as needed to meet his needs.
She has come back a couple of times at our request because we want to make sure we're doing things right. We want to do our best job with our pup!
Her encouragement and support is so helpful! Our neighbors thought we had a new dog! That's how different his behavior was. He is responding well and it is all very positive. And I expect it will be long lasting. We could not be more pleased!

What a pleasure it was having John come to my home to begin my journey to discover how to interact with my dog and become best friends. The first lesson was informative and gave me positive feelings about the steps ahead.

Cook is 5 months old and we have never had a big dog. Today we learned how to address and speak to our dog in a way he could understand. Immediately we noticed big change and he adapted to our ques and rules quickly. We feel confident in this method and believe we will all thrive with these skills.

Josh was very good at establishing what I needed to do. Now I just need to get in a routine, so my dog becomes a good dog.

Gusty has completely transformed both my life and my dog Benny's--after just two sessions.
PermalinkBenny is a one-year-old mixed-breed rescue who had experienced significant trauma before I adopted him. When we started working with Gusty, we were dealing with several behavioral challenges: barking and biting, leash reactivity, and difficulty adjusting to my two resident cats--whom Benny felt the need to "protect" me from. He was also very territorial on walks, often lunging and snapping at anyone with an unusual appearance--people in big jackets, those with a unique gait, or wearing medical masks. He even reacted to other dogs wearing sweaters. On top of that, he had a habit of scavenging and displayed food aggression.
Gusty not only helped me see that Benny is an incredibly intelligent dog, but also gave me the tools and structure to bring out the best in him. With just a few consistent rules, Benny has blossomed into a calm, focused, and eager-to-learn companion. Thanks to Gusty's guidance:
- Benny no longer barks at people passing our apartment.
- He's calm and responsive on leash--no more lunging.
- He sits at crosswalks, comes when called, and no longer demands attention by barking.
- I no longer need to rely on endless chew toys or treats to keep him occupied.
- He drops trash when asked and responds beautifully to direction.
- Most importantly, our bond has grown stronger than ever.
While he still occasionally reacts to the cats' presence, he is MUCH calmer, only barks and them once or twice and then immediately goes to lay down after I tell him to. The fact that he can disengage from something that once distracted him so totally that I was concerned about his safety and the cats is actually incredible.
With Gusty's encouragement, I'm now excited to take things further--we're starting agility training, and I'm working on getting Benny comfortable in busier environments with the goal of certifying him as an emotional support animal so he can eventually travel with me.
Thank you, Gusty and the Bark Busters team! Your dedication to educating dog owners is inspiring, and the results speak for themselves. This has been one of the best investments I've ever made.

Bonnie came to the house on Friday, she was the third trainer we have worked with. I wish she had been the first because she would have been the last. For the almost two years that we have had Princesa we have thought she was a reactive dog. What Bonnie made us realize was that the issue was with us not her! Knowing what we were doing wrong, and what Princesa needs from us has made this process all make sense. Princesa was barking at everything, and everybody, peeing in the house, not listening, and generally acting out. It has been three days and I am definitely noticing a difference. Took her for a walk yesterday, Easter, lots of people out walking and she was quiet. She did not bark when I came home today and normally that would set her off. It has been, and will continue to be a lot of work, but I am definitely seeing progress, and I can see Princesa is much calmer knowing she doesn’t have to be in charge anymore!

Deb is incredibly helpful as a dog trainer and uses a system that really works! My husband and I are already pretty well versed in dogs, but something about the dynamic of the two we have now--barking at the door and windows, jumping on guests, even to the point of fighting with each other--we couldn't get a handle on. Deb came in and brought an expert outside perspective to our situation that has completely changed the stressful dynamic of the house. We've so appreciated the resources offered, the follow up texts, and the simple way to track what we should practice. By applying these trainings, already after just two sessions, our dogs are so much calmer and more obedient and we've taken back control of the house. I would 100% recommend Deb to anyone who has a difficult dog/s. If you listen to her and do the practice, you will absolutely see results.
