I have a three year old yorkie, Lorenzo, who suffers from separation anxiety and would bark a lot if left home alone. My problem was that if left home he would bark the entire time, and loudly. He also would lunge wildly and bark towards other dogs in passing. I stumbled across Bark Busters online and they have helped change our lives for the better! I have been working with Kevin of Bark Busters for some time now and he is amazing. We have made tremendous improvement with Lorenzo's separation anxiety. Lorenzo is able to stay home alone for a couple of hours without feeling anxious or barking. He sleeps on the couch while I'm out. He is also less reactive towards other dogs. He is more obedient and respectful. Kevin is patient and such a great teacher. He's supportive and encourages me when I face challenges. I thank God I was able to stumble across Bark Busters online. They have helped us make huge behavioral changes with their program. Thank you, Bark Busters!

My husband and I got our boy, Gumbo, back in 2022. We realized quite quickly that we needed some help figuring out how to best "train/parent" him. We were looking for someone who could be there with us throughout Gumbo's life journey and could be a reliable, consistent, person for us to count on when we had questions and someone who knew him well enough to know exactly what he was needing. Yep, pretty tall order to fill. Fortunately, Bark Busters connected us with Kevin and WOW, have we gotten what we were promised and then some!!
PermalinkKevin astutely noted that some of our initial challenges were due to us wanting to do things the right way and in turn, putting a lot of pressure of Gumbo to know what to do without us providing him the clear consistently and confidence he needed from his pack leaders. Kevin applied a well proven method to training that was rooted in helping us build the strongest relationship we could with Gumbo. We learned how to navigate having guests over, reactivity to the door bell and other loud sounds, managing anxiety related to fireworks, building healthy "social skills" with other dogs/humans, improving "walking etiquette" and leash control, and developing a clear way of communicating with Gumbo. Our pup leaves the sessions with Kevin both exhausted and relaxed -- knowing that he and his parents are even more connected now! We owe so much to Kevin, who has truly been a lifesaver for us and has made it possible for Gumbo to live an incredibly rich life now.
For anyone considering the service, do it. It's worth every penny. Thank you so much Kevin and Bark Busters!

Basahhhh! We now speak dog! Thanks so much to Scott for helping us with Penny’s issues. In just a short amount of time we became head of the house instead of her. We highly recommend Scott and his methods of training!

Baahhh! Scott taught us to speak “dog”. We were amazed at how fast she learned that she was no longer in charge of the house. We were so impressed with Scott and how patient he was with us. Highly recommend!

A Training Program That Truly Follows the Dog - Exceptional Transferable Guarantee!
PermalinkMy husband Jim and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bark Busters! We fostered Willow, a Labradoodle, intending to find him a forever home, but we completely "failed" at fostering and fell in love with him. Willow's previous owner had invested in Bark Busters Gold Service training before we adopted him.
As a disabled Veteran, Jim has found Willow to be an incredible mental health support, and we wanted to ensure we continued his training properly.
A Guarantee That Truly Puts Dogs First:
What truly sets Bark Busters apart is their remarkable Life of Dog Support Guarantee, which is transferable when a dog is re-homed! For a one-time transfer fee of $300, we gained access to professional training support for Willow's entire life - no additional charges, regardless of what behavioral issues arise.
This transferable guarantee demonstrates Bark Busters' genuine commitment to the dogs they train, not just their clients. They understand dogs may change homes and built a system ensuring those dogs receive lifelong support. This is virtually unheard of in the dog training industry!
Seamless Support:
We contacted Bark Busters to learn about Willow's training, and they made the transfer process incredibly smooth. Their focus was clearly on Willow's wellbeing and ensuring continuity in his care. They taught us the Bark Busters method - natural dog communication using body language and voice control that Willow already understood. No treats, no harsh corrections, no complicated equipment.
The Results:
Thanks to their transferable guarantee and guidance, we've maintained Willow's excellent behavior and strengthened our bond tremendously. The relationship between Jim and Willow has flourished, making an incredible difference in Jim's daily life and wellbeing.
Lifetime Peace of Mind:
We can contact our certified trainer anytime new issues arise - for Willow's entire life. As he grows and faces new challenges, we have peace of mind knowing professional help is available. Even if we relocate, the guarantee moves with us!
Our Recommendation:
If you're struggling with dog behavior issues, we wholeheartedly recommend Bark Busters. They work with any breed, age, and issue. Their trainers are knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in helping families.
Most impressive: their Life of Dog Support Guarantee is transferable when a dog finds a new home. That forward-thinking policy shows incredible integrity and true commitment to every dog they train. It's a game-changer for rescue or adopted dogs.
Willow is a well-behaved, happy companion, and thanks to Bark Busters' transferable lifetime guarantee, we have confidence and support to continue his success. We're so grateful for their innovative approach ensuring every dog receives lifelong support, regardless of circumstances!

We reached out to Bark Busters for help with our Frenchie, Winston, who struggles with reactivity and a bit of separation anxiety. Working with Amanda Adams has been an absolute game changer!
From the very first session, Amanda made us feel supported and confident. She took the time to really understand Winston’s triggers and gave us practical, easy-to-follow tools that made a difference almost immediately. Winston has become noticeably calmer on walks, and we’ve seen huge improvements in how he handles new situations and being on his own.
Amanda’s patience, knowledge, and genuine love for dogs shine through in every interaction. We can’t thank her enough for helping us bring out the best in Winston. If you’re struggling with reactivity, anxiety, or just want a happier, more relaxed dog, we 100% recommend Bark Busters and Amanda!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience! From the very start, both Tiffany and Amanda were incredibly responsive and understanding. Tiffany took the time to answer every one of my questions and concerns over email and phone before our first session, which really put me at ease.
PermalinkI came into our first session pretty anxious since my dog struggles with fear aggression, and I was worried about everyone’s safety. Amanda immediately made me feel comfortable and confident that we were in good hands. She addressed all of my concerns with patience and professionalism, adapting her training approach to fit my dog’s specific needs and behavior.
For the first time in a long while, I feel genuine relief and hope that helping and managing my dog’s behavior is possible. I can’t wait to keep working with Amanda and continue building on the awesome progress we’ve already made!

Bark Busters’ in home training has been tremendously effective in helping us manage our seven year old dog’s separation anxiety. We now understand the reasons for Sophie’s barking, and can better manage and anticipate situations that trigger her fear. Natalie is extremely personable and professional, and she has been spot-on in identifying problem issues with our Cavachon.
PermalinkShe is firm and direct, yet compassionate and warm. We are so grateful for how Natalie has helped us have Sophie greet people at the door, and greet other dogs on our walks. Reintroducing the crate also did a lot to help Sophie settle into her own space of comfort.
We recommend Bark Busters without reservation, and wish we had known enough to seek their help much sooner!

We had such a wonderful experience with Bark Busters and our trainer, Jared! As first-time dog owners, we were feeling overwhelmed and unsure about how to effectively communicate with our pup. Jared completely changed that. He taught us how to understand and work with our dog in a way that felt natural and frustration-free.
PermalinkJared was always punctual, professional, and incredibly easy to communicate with. He made sure all our questions were answered--no matter how small--and took the time to explain things clearly and patiently. It's so obvious how much he genuinely cares, not just about the dogs, but about their humans too.
If you're a new dog owner or just looking for a trainer who truly gets it, we can't recommend Jared and Bark Busters enough. He's kind, hardworking, and a total lifesaver. Thank you, Jared!

We are so happy with Bark Busters and especially our trainer Kayla! She has been so great. Full of information and techniques and very encouraging to both my husband and I and our dog. We have a Bernese who definitely struggled with certain behaviors and after just a couple of weeks we are already seeing an improvement in him. We couldn’t believe it!! Kayla is wonderful, so knowledgeable and supportive. I highly recommend!!
