    Photo of Reiff It was a pleasure meeting Jeri for our first training. I learned so much on how to relate to Reiff. I was so happy to see a improvement only with the first lesson and it made me very hopeful and excited to know that Reiff will be able to be the best obedient and happy puppy that he deserves to be. Jeri was down to earth but very professional and you could see she loves and cares deeply of all pets.
    Thank you so much and I’m looking forward to the future with Reiff.

    Thank you Lee!

    From our first encounter with the call assistant, Liz, to the times we’ve needed Ben after our first appointment, the level of care, professionalism, patience, and knowledge, can’t be beat. As a frugal family of four, the price accompanying the service was something we considered. However, we envisioned using a less reputable establishment and then still needing Bark Buster’s services in the long run. WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED! Ben Miller, spent over 3 hours working with us (and our dog) on our first session. When he left, I am not exaggerating when I say, he left us with a different dog. He taught us how to communicate with our dog in a way she understands, respects, and ultimately listens to! It also is not an exaggeration to say that our quality of life has been better because of this. The added stress of a wild dog (along with wild kids, lol) takes a toll. Things are completely different now! If you are on the fence about this service, DON’T BE!! Having my best furry friend also be a good listener now, is worth its weight in gold!

    We had a very positive experience with Erin. Our problem is with aggression in a 2 year shepherd we adopted. She spent a lot of time with us on our first visit. Over and above what we expected. The first day after his first session and he’s already catching on. It turns out what we originally thought we were supposed to be doing only encouraged his aggressive behavior. Erin is very knowledgeable and obviously very passionate about her business. Highly Recommend!

    Our 9-ish year old dog has been scared of new dogs since she was a puppy. So, we were very scared about introducing her to our new dog. With Bark Busters help, she was down right welcoming to our new dog - much to our surprise and delight.

    Gusty came by today to help my godparents with their dog Mylo. He has been struggling with barking and stranger aggression and we have spoken to a few other trainers without success. Both of my godparents are older and slightly disabled so I was concerned about their ability to be able to train Mylo and to be consistent. However, after only 1 hour, Gusty had already begun to curve his behavior significantly and given my godmother (and me) significant hope for the future! By the end of the lesson we felt like we knew exact how to handle the situation and were excited to learn more. I cannot recommend her more! If you have any concerns about your dog's behavior or simply want to learn more about the way they think, trust me and give her a call, you won't regret it!

    On November 3, 2023, our family rescued a dog from Texas. We knew there would be an adjustment period for the new dog, Pawblo, and our existing dog, Viivi. It turned out to be more than we bargained for and within days we were on the phone to Barkbusters. We had used this company in the past and were happy with that experience.

    We were connected to Bonnie Ober and she came to meet us on November 25, 2023 and stayed for more than three hours. She took time to hear our descriptions and concerns and immediately had things for us to do to diffuse the situation.

    The new dog was attacking our other dog for no apparent reason. Some of the hotspots were narrow passageways and doors. We had no clue what to do to prevent this from happening. Bonnie did. She helped us to understand what was going on in both dogs’ minds, why the conflicts were happening and had step by step instructions on how to handle the conflict. Every step was kind, clear, and never heavy handed. With lots of practice, the problems with the dogs at the doors, and the attacks were overcome. We were taught vocalizations and the sequencing of using them to control the dogs. We all finally learned them and things have been much better.

    If an approach isn’t working, Bonnie will modify it and she definitely thinks outside the box. One of us is handicapped and she has been very helpful thinking of work arounds for that. Bonnie thinks quickly and thoroughly, which makes it possible for her to help with unusual circumstances. She has been available to answer questions between sessions and is a source of expertise and encouragement. Her manner is calm, patient, and knowledgeable. She inspires hope and confidence; a can-do attitude. I also believe that she would honestly tell us what we can and cannot expect from our situation; no false hope.

    Pawblo and Viivi still have work to do, as do we, but we are hopeful about the future.

    We saw improvement within the first few days. Life is much better around here and it is only going to get better. Thank you, Bonnie!

    The Panek Family,
    Bob, Pat & Karen
