    Lori is amazing! I got my first rescue dog & he had major anxiety and was so scared of men. It was obvious he had been abused, I had never owned a dog like that. He was so sweet to me & my daughter, but anyone else or other animals he would act like a ferocious beast. Anytime I had company he would literally bark non stop. I watched videos read books & nothing helped. I was at the end of my rope & didn't know what to do. I came across Bark Busters online & gave them a call. That was the best thing I ever did for my dog. Lori came over & educated me on dog behavior and really opened my eyes. My dog was a different animal. I couldn't believe the change I was amazed, along with my friends & family. No joke, even neighbors in my apartment complex stopped me to compliment me on the change in behavior!! I can't say enough good things about my experience with Lori and Bark Busters!

    I cannot recommend Bonnie Ober highly enough, I love her! I wish I had called Bark Busters a LONG time ago. I had Blue for well over a year and went through a couple of trainers and was still not making any headway. I was told and understood all the "rules" but it was way too overwhelming and exhausting and just didn't work for me and Blue. Bonnie spent just a short time with us and quickly got to the root of what was happening and what needed to be done. She broke it down very easily and we had a quick and simple routine we could manage. When I contacted her with updates, she would cheer us on and help us fine tune areas we were still having trouble with. I will be forever grateful to her for all of her help. She explained the entire process and was extremely patient. I am SOOOO GLAD I did this; it is the best money you'll ever spend! She was born for this job and we are all so lucky to have found her!!!!

    I was a doubter. I had done other training with our 3 year old pitbull/lab mix. The training never stuck or fixed the problems. We called Keith because we were desperate, because we couldn’t bring Daisy anywhere without her jumping and nipping at people, and couldn’t have guests over either for the same reason.

    Keith came over and did his presentation explaining his methods, and then we saw an IMMEDIATE change with Daisy. I honestly couldn’t believe it! She was like a new dog! He stayed for another 2-3 hours as we reinforced some other things.

    We now have the tools going forward and know Keith is just a call away if we see regression. High recommend... first session is worth the price alone!

    Photo of Logan Marc was very professional and skilled with my german shepherd. It didn't take very long to get him under control.

    Photo of Banjo I reached out to Bark Busters after my 6-month-old Bluetick Coonhound, Banjo, bit me multiple times on a walk; I got bitten on some walks but this one was particularly awful. I remember my neighbor said that “I have the option to give him away,” I was devastated but that absolutely was not an option for me. After that incident, not only was I afraid to take Banjo on walks alone without my boyfriend, but I was also ashamed and embarrassed. I knew Banjo just needed better training, but I did not have the tools yet. After the first lesson with Jerry, my boyfriend and I were taught how to show Banjo that we are pack leaders, which not only decreased his aggression, but calmed his nerves.
    After the first session, we noticed dramatic differences. Jerry explained in terms I can understand how dogs think about packs, and that Banjo thinks he is the pack leader, which was the root of the problem. After coaching me and my boyfriend, I can say with full honesty that I no longer am afraid of getting bitten on my walks with Banjo. Not only am I not afraid, but I am excited and look forward to our walks together. Since I am able to communicate to Banjo in a way he understands, our bond has become incredible.
    Jerry was patient, honest, and genuine. I am a young woman, and this is my first puppy, and his guidance gave me the confidence I needed to train him properly. Banjo is now 8 months old and does not show signs of aggression in any way; he’s like another puppy! I would recommend Bark Busters to any owner who is experiencing aggression, or any other issue that Bark Buster deals with. A true LIFE SAVER!

    In 2014 our family adopted a dog, Sadie, from TLC and in 2016 adopted another pup, Willy. We feel so blessed to have these furry companions in our lives. From the beginning Jeri was our trainer for all of our socialization, obedience and additional private lessons. We have always loved Jeri and the support she provides for dogs and their owners. Most recently though we had some behavioral issues with our oldest dog. I called Jeri out of frustration late on a Friday afternoon and soon after she called me back. We discussed the problems and she forwarded over some tips and things to start practicing. Surely, within a few days we noticed a huge improvement! We still have some work to do, and will continue to work on but I can't say enough great things about Jeri! She is truly the best trainer, and we are grateful to her! She Rocks!

    I have to admit that I was a little skeptical that this training would work for my 2 year old rescue, but it did! I waited a few months after calling Bark Busters, because I thought it was too expensive. However, my dog's barking and anxiety got worse, so I decided to bite the bullet and make an appointment with Ryan. BEST MOVE EVER AND WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!! The appointment was 3 hours. Most of the appointment was educating me on "speaking dog" and nutrition. Then we put my new tactics into action. My dog responded immediately and it is SOOOOO EASY!!!!! We only had to ring the doorbell 3 different times and my dog was cured of barking at the doorbell and charging to the door. It sounds unbelievable and it is!!!! Now when my doorbell rings, my dog might bark once to alert me, but he doesn't charge the door at all. GAME CHANGER!!!! The stress level of people coming over is gone! My dog is well behaved and even listens great in the car. NO MORE JUMPING in the front seat while I am driving. He sits in the back like a good dog. Ryan is coming back in a few weeks for a follow up. I can't imagine my dog getting even better, because now he is PERFECT in my eyes! Thank you Ryan for changing our family dynamics. NO MORE STRESS because of the dog here! The Schulte Family household is a lot more balanced because of you!!!
