    Photo of Pepper I cannot say enough good things about James and Bark Busters! My dog, Pepper, was extremely reactive to other dogs and would pull so hard on walks that I was often getting dragged. I spent eight months trying different training methods with little success—until I found James.

    In only eight weeks, Pepper has completely transformed. After the very first lesson, I saw an immediate change in her behavior. Thanks to James’ incredible guidance and training techniques, she now walks calmly on a leash, listens to me, and—most importantly—we can walk around other dogs without fear of a meltdown. Our walks have gone from stressful to enjoyable, and I finally feel confident handling her.

    If you’re struggling with a reactive dog, I highly recommend James. He is patient, knowledgeable, and truly understands how to bring out the best in your pup. Thank you, Bark Busters, for giving us the tools to succeed!

    My dog was a huge barking problem when new people came over. In the first lesson Steve showed me some strategies that immediately worked. What is amazing is they don’t involve treats or shock collars. He is patient and I love doing the Home work with my dog. We are on the path to a calmer dog and a happier home.

    100% will recommend Bark Busters to anyone who have pets! Michael was really easy to work with, he understood our concerns and addressed all of our issues. The Puppies were unfortunately on their best behavior so Michael didn’t get to see the issues today. However the tools he left us with have kept us in the Green and Yellow zones the rest of the day. We will continue to work with Michael to make sure we keep our pups safe. Bark Busters approach to dog training is simply amazing.

    Photo of Tucker Joshua was knowledgeable, attentive, and eager to help us as much as our dog. We feel so much better about everything, and we are so grateful to have a plan that will help our whole family + Tucker included.

    Photo of Tyger Amber was fantastic! She was very kind and attentive to both Tyger and I. She was patient and friendly with us and explained everything perfectly. I feel so much more comfortable with my dog already and with her as my trainer.

    Since our first session with Steven and with the homework exercises we’ve been doing consistently, we’ve been able to rebalance the leadership dynamics in our home and introduce much-needed structure and rules. The difference in Miki’s behavior has been remarkable—he is so much calmer and more responsive.

    What we appreciate most is that this training is done entirely out of love and focuses on canine communication rather than a punishment/reward system. It has helped us better understand Miki’s needs and how to guide him in a way that makes him feel secure and balanced.

    This training is truly beneficial for anyone willing to put in the work. Consistency with the exercises is key, but it is absolutely worth it. We feel like we have a new dog, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend Steven!
