    Photo of Milo Josh helped us address Milo's reactivity/ barking in different scenarios including new guests entering the home, and how to correct his behavior. We also covered leash walking techniques. We found positive results immediately and found the training to be an encouraging experience.

    Milo has been really stressed with a new baby in the home. Today we started to teach him how to be calm and relax with the baby in the home. We worked on starting to separate from him in small scales to address his separation anxiety with great success.

    We recently rescued a 1.5 year old Border Terrier from the Oakland SPCA. While we have had pets for years we have never engaged in any formal training. This time we decided to give it a try. My wife looked online and found Dan Lan Franco from Bark Busters. We liked his stated philosophy and certainly the reviews that he has received. That said, after the first session (2.5 hours) we were impressed with Dan, his delivery, the information we received and our hands-on training. We were amazed at how our dog, Perry, interacted with him and behaved. He left us with basic homework to do each day for 10-15 minutes, which we have done. We had another session 2 weeks later to check in and report that Perry was doing quite well and he continues to do so. Needless to say, we are thrilled with Dan and his methods, and we look forward to continued success!

    Photo of Ziggy I rescued Ziggy at 5 years old and his history was unknown. I wanted to make sure I created a safe environment for him while I was in and out of the home. My initial Zoom call with Nicole started the process. Not only did she provide me with actionable items that she taught and practiced with me on the call, she provided education around the way dogs communicate and why it’s important to established leadership. I saw a MAJOR improvement in Ziggy’s attention to me, calmness and getting comfortable with the crate and house training after that initial call. Nicole was available via email and provided materials to help keep me on track. 10 out of 10!

    Thanks for the great review, Nicole! It was great to also meet Ziggy in person and to be able to help you work through and resolve his separation anxiety so that you can enjoy leaving your house now!!

    Bonnie was amazing! We've worked with a bunch of other trainers and nothing has come close to how confident we feel with her working with us to help reduce our dog's anxiety! Even my grown children were very impressed (which says a lot!) Also, the knowledge that she will continue to be there for us as we have more situations that come up that we need help with is so very reassuring! Honestly the first visit was like a therapy session for all of us which was wonderful!
    Thanks Bonnie for making it such that I don't now want to give our dog away every other day!

    We were at the point where we were ready to find a new home for Gus ... he was just way more than we could handle and we didn't know where to begin. Evan showed up for the first time and my wife and I were trying to hold tears back when we saw how quickly Gus' behavior could change for the better. Not only that, the training helped us with our other dogs and already, we're a MUCH happier home. Evan was calm, clear, and very confident. We're looking forward to continuing the training to make this an incredibly happy dog home!

    My brother used Bark Busters and had Evan train his dogs that were aggressive and he said it went amazing so I gave them a call. My dog Mona had a serious case of separation anxiety and I needed it fixed. Evan came and helped me solve the problem. He first explained why the separation anxiety was occurring and then gave me the knowledge and tools to work towards solving the problem. It has been two weeks and Mona is already doing better than she was before and she is also just all around so much better behaved! I am so glad I called Bark Busters!!!

    Photo of Kat & Ivy Robert came in and was able to give us exercises to help resolve our dog's issues. Within a few minutes, we were able to see changes in her behavior. With continued practice we are confident we will have success.
