    Photo of Grace My dog Grace is a mini Australian Shepherd, she was very sick when she was a puppy and barely survived but couldn't get the proper socialization and became aggressive towards other dogs and people, mostly when walking outside, she would bark and have separation anxiety when I wasn't close by was desperate and frustrated I needed help. I contacted Bark Busters and I has been a wonderful experience, I been working with Kevin for the past 3 months and he has been knowledgeable, patient he has thought me a lot, Grace still has work to do but she is doing much better, I'm very happy with the service I have received and the passion this people have for helping both dog and owner. If you are concerned about price let me tell you that is completely worth it. Thank you Kevin.

    Photo of Ruthie Mariah has been extremely helpful with our scared/shy pup! Our girl is so scared of men and has begun barking/growling at my husband. Mariah gave us a variety of strategies and practice exercises that have already made a huge difference in our lives. Our puppy already shows a noticeable difference and appears much happier!

    Photo of Noah I highly recommend Patrick, Minnie, and Tom at Bark Busters. Their training techniques are logical, easy to follow, and deliver results quickly. We saw noticeable improvements right away, and their guidance made a real difference for us and our dog Noah! He gave us the tools for canine communication that we were lacking. This has made a huge difference in our household.

    Photo of Dan We rescued Charlie, our dog, from the SF SPCA when he was 5. After two months with us, his behavior worsened—he became reactive, aggressive, and confrontational, even biting three people who tried to pet him. Despite trying various online courses, self-led training, and other resources, progress was slow or nonexistent. On walks, Charlie would react to every person and dog, leaving us anxious both at home and outside. Desperate, we turned to Bark Busters for help.

    Dan Franco quickly taught us things about Charlie that we never knew. His methods made an immediate difference—Charlie went from aggressive and reactive to calm and obedient in just one day. Now, we can walk Charlie without issue, and he’s often calm enough to ignore other dogs entirely. Dan has truly transformed our lives, and I can’t recommend him enough.

    Photo of Zeebo John was very confident in training us on how to train Zeebo. When something wasn't quite working, he was able to offer several options to find what did work. We're excited to see the results.

    Photo of LIFE CHANGING!!! I thought I was going to have to rehome our dog…. Sara and her knowledge/insights saved my dog and kept the dog in our home!

    The “Dog Behavior Specialist” (not a “dog trainer” that trains to sit and such) was amazing!
    I adopted a large breed dog for safety concerns, and that dog ended up biting my mother when she entered my house without me beside her to introduce her to the dog - the dog bit ‘the stranger’ in the house to protect me. I knew this wasn’t a bite for no reason, but the dog was becoming more and more protective of me to visitors. Sara, the Dog Behavior Specialist, was able to show me how to be the dominant presence in my own home, and to take the fear of needing to protect me out of my dog.
    In just a few hours Sara was able to stop the lunging, barking, and growling! We have been practicing what was taught to myself and my dog daily and have not had another incident (3 weeks now)! Sara was amazing at explaining to me the behaviors of my dog, taught me to “speak dog”, established me as the strong leader (that doesn’t need protecting) in my dog’s mind, and stopped ALL aggressive behaviors in JUST ONE VISIT!!!
    I honestly was believing that I would have to relinquish the dog back to the shelter because of the aggression and the bite… but Sara TRANSFORMED my dog’s and my relationship so that the dog has become an amazing companion!
    …and it is for LIFETIME of the dog! I have already contacted Sara after our first session to ask other questions and she has gotten back to me promptly! I have already set up a second session for more insights to having visitors over to my house as I am expecting company within 2 weeks - just as a refresher for Athena, my dog, and me!

    Photo of Kong, Roscoe, Draco With the help of Orlando dogs walk better on leash without pulling, aggression with one dog was a little better than the first time they met.

    This business is very responsive with communication. Jared, like all the reviews have mentioned, is amazing. After our first meeting we saw improvement. If you work at doing everything he says you will see big improvements. Jared is friendly and knowledgeable. We always look forward to working with him. I would definitely recommend him if you are also committed to changing your dog's behavior.
