    Omar has been a blessing! Acquired an older dog from my parents with absolutely no training. Within 2 sessions (have more scheduled) he has taught me so much on how get my Daisy to walk without pulling. Snapping at my children or anyone else coming close to me while she’s on my lap! He also taught us how to handle our other dogs constant need to be petted and attention. Absolute game changer in our household.

    Photo of Cheeto I must tell you I was skeptical when we hired Bark Busters to help with the behavioral problems we were having with our adopted dog Cheeto. Omar came to our house and spent 4 hours with us and our dog. His patient techniques and teaching style, coupled with his vast knowledge of dog behaviors proved to be highly effective. After just one session, Cheeto is extremely well behaved and our home is a completely different place. I HIGHLY recommend Omar and Bark Busters to anyone seeking to understand your dog and that needs to learn skills to address unwanted behaviors. Well worth every penny and the best thing we ever did for Cheeto! Amazing trainer whose love for dogs and what he does shines through in amazing results!!!

    We reached out to Bark Busters when we were preparing our dog Ollie for a major life change—a new baby in the house. From day one, the experience exceeded our expectations.

    Our trainer, was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thoughtful in their approach. They didn’t just teach Ollie—they taught us how to communicate in a way he understands. The methods were gentle, effective, and built around trust and consistency.

    What impressed us most was how tailored the training was to our home and lifestyle. It wasn’t a one-size-fits-all approach—it was a plan that respected Ollie’s personality and our family dynamics. The confidence we’ve gained as dog owners has been just as valuable as the progress Ollie has made.

    Now that our baby has arrived, Ollie is calm, respectful of boundaries, and still the sweet dog we’ve always loved. We’re incredibly grateful to Bark Busters for helping make this transition so smooth.

    Highly recommend for any dog owner—whether you're dealing with behavioral challenges or just want a better relationship with your pup. Worth every penny.

    Photo of Bernie Our dog, Bernie, is almost 5 years old and was out of control. Barking, not coming when called, pulling us over when we walked him and being leash aggressive. (Yikes!). We decided to get serious about Bernie's behavior and inquired about Bark Busters. We had other family dogs that were easy to live with, but we were considering re-homing Bernie if things didn't get better. We decided to work with Bark Busters.
    Our trainer, Ryanne has taught us many strategies to address Bernie's issues and the results have been incredible! We found that the humans in the family needed to be trained to help Bernie become a more pleasant family dog. Having Ryanne work with us, in our home and focusing only on Bernie has made all the difference. We purchased a plan that allows us to call Ryanne anytime throughout the year! Best investment if your dog's behavior is not what you'd like it to be.
    Highly recommend!!

    Your commitment to Bernie has made all the difference, and I’m so glad you gave him the chance to succeed. Looking forward to continuing to support you whenever you need it!

    We adopted a German shepherd, Milo, who had been attacked when he was a puppy.
    He was reactive to other dogs, and didn’t like people in his space.
    We began working with Randy last year, and the change we have seen in Milo is incredible.
    Randy gave us the tools we needed to change Milo’s demeanor from a scared dog, to a confident dog. Thanks to Randy we have a closer bond with Milo, and I can trust him around other people and dogs.
    Eternally grateful to Randy!

    Jared has been phenomenal in helping my wife and I understand the small but very important social cues and behaviors our two pugs exhibit. He's helped us achieve a stronger relationship with our dogs rooted in better communication. We are now focusing on making sure we know how to handle and communicate with our puggers during times that they get stressed and levels of high emotion. Jared makes sure to hold our hands throughout this learning journey every step of the way! I can't recommend him enough to dog parents who want a better relationship with their furry ones.

    Our most urgent need was to have her aggressive possessive issues handled. We worked with angie after Jeri left and for the most part she would let go of the item she wanted with the Bah and come come come method. Only sometimes she would ignore us but with practice I feel that the rare occasions will be less and less.

    Kyle is absolutely incredible! We first contacted Kyle a few days before welcoming our first child and he helped our dog, Ginger, through the transition. Kyle was always available when we needed him and really helped Ginger learn her place in the family. Ginger is now her brother’s biggest fan and I feel we have Kyle to thank for this.
