    Our session with steve was well thought out and he came prepared with a straight forward game plan. He didn’t waste any time and got straight to work, while explaining the concepts to us in a way we could easily understand. Our dog was making grand improvements that we would have never expected instantly and we highly recommend that you book with barkbusters. Also, we are two queer people in our household and steve was highly respectable and treated us as he would any other client.

    I rescued a dog who was aggressive to other dogs whenever he was on leash. It was very hard to pull him back as he is a large German Shepherd. It got to the point that I would only walk him at night when other dogs weren't around. Enter Bonnie who gave us the methods to help him. We can now walk on a loose leash, and pass other dogs without growling, snapping or attempting to bite. The change in my dog's behavior was amazing. Bark Busters is one of the few trainers that can tackle the difficult behaviors.

    Photo of Waylon Scott has been a wonderful trainer for my Jack Russell "Terrorist", Waylon. Before working with Scott, Waylon really struggled with aggression towards other dogs, jumping on people when they come into the house, & leash walking meltdowns which included going bananas at any cars or bicycles going by. Scott's approach has been patient and tailored towards Waylon's fiery personality.

    Since working with Scott, Waylon has greatly improved leash walking, greeting people with better non-jumping manners, and made lot of progress in how he interacts with other dogs. What I appreciate most is that Scott doesn’t just train the dog—he teaches the human, too. He broke things down in a way that was easy to understand and gave me the confidence to keep reinforcing good habits at home.

    If you’re looking for someone who truly understands dogs (and their humans), I highly recommend Scott. Waylon may still have a mischievous streak, but thanks to Scott, he’s a much happier and better-behaved pup—and I’m a much less stressed owner!

    Sarah is amazing. She helped us understand our dogs better and how better to handle some situations. We saw improvements right away. She listened to all of our concerns and walked us through all areas of concern. We have had follow ups with her and she is easy to get ahold of in-between lessons with any questions that arise.

    Photo of Chanel, Dolly, Gigi Recently my daughter, along with our 3 dogs , and I moved from a large home with a large fenced yard to an apartment. This move had a very negative affect on our dogs who were never leash trained along with barking issues from many other dogs in the building. Heard great things about Bark Busters so hired them and had one session today. We already see improvement with the lessons we learned to guide our dogs into a happy, safe life at the new place. ( after the first day!)

    Michael was great! Within 45 minutes of the first visit, my dog felt like a new animal! He gives great instruction with simple techniques. I needed a solution but was worried I couldn’t do it, I now realize what works! Best $$ I have ever spent, having an improved understanding on how my dog operates has given me much peace!

    Photo of Jack Deb is an amazing trainer! She takes the time to explain how dogs communicate and the best ways to get through to them. I love the tools she provides as it does not require treats or any physical punishment. Her methods are easy to understand and can beneficial in many different situations. I would highly recommend her to anyone with a dog!

    We have a New Leash on life! After our 1st session with Sharon, we are confident we are on the road to easing the severe separation anxiety our Sparky has. He came to us in January after being rescued from Helene and losing his mom. We love him so much, and wanted to help him be happy when we aren't home. We tried everything, we thought, then called Bark Busters. We know it will take time, but we feel sure we now have the tools needed to speak Dog language. I'll update in 2 months, but he was so responsive today, it was really remarkable. We highly recommend Sharon.

    Photo of Doc We had a great first time visit with Omar. He listened to our needs regarding our dog and was very informative and helpful in setting up a plan to address our concerns going forward. Both my wife and I were throughly impressed and are excited that we have a plan to help correct our dogs behavioral issues.
