Navigating the challenges of owning an 8-week-old Golden Retriever would have been incredibly overwhelming without Kevin's help! As first-time puppy owners, my wife and I were unsure how to handle all the different phases. Kevin provided invaluable guidance tailored to our specific situation that books and TV shows couldn't match. We are so grateful for his support!

Scott immediately helped with my dog’s separation anxiety. I couldn’t leave the house without her and within three days she stopped barking/crying at the door when I left.. she obeys me and realizes that I am in charge :) thank you Scott! You changed our lives!

I strongly recommend this business (Josh). We rescued a traumatized hound and Josh was able to help us improve our dogs anxiety before he left from our appointment. He covers everything from nutrition to behavior modification (which is really training the human how to relate to a dog in a way that makes them feel safe. Thanks, Josh

Damon was absolutely amazing! My husband and I feel so much more prepared to work with our beloved pup, Crowley, after our first session! We have tried regular trainers on multiple occasions for Crowley's behavioral issues but were at a loss. As a behaviorist, Damon gave us fundamentals to work on based on how a dog thinks rather than focusing on tasks or commands, which has already been an enormous game changer for us as dog owners. We look forward to having a steady support system for Crowley as we continue to learn how to provide a healthier learning and home environment for him!

Josh has been great helping to train our Dachshund. Our main areas of focus have been separation anxiety and reactivity, and we've made great strides in just two sessions.
PermalinkWe've had other trainers before, and have found that they often take a one-size-fits-all approach to their training -- they try to apply their framework to every dog without exception. I appreciate that Josh instead meets our dog where he is and adapts his approach accordingly. He's not blindly applying a framework to every dog he interacts with. You can tell he loves dogs and takes his job very seriously!
Josh has given us thorough, actionable advice to improve our dog's behavior in our focus areas, and I have no doubt we'll solve our dog's issues with Josh's help! He's super responsive to our questions, in person and via text, and scheduling follow-up sessions is a breeze. Highly recommend Josh to anyone looking for a trainer!

If you’re reading this as a frustrated dog parent, look no further for any other trainer/ company. Absolutely go with Bark Busters!
PermalinkAmanda, our trainer is a genius. She showed me this video of a mama dog correcting her pups
and this is what the leader of the pack (me) does. I’m basically mama grunting at them when they do anything out of line or any thing I want to correct. Amanda is super cool and personable and can show you so many ways to get your dogs in line. There’s obviously more to it than just grunting so make you’re appointment with this company!!! My dogs are happier dogs! My dogs don’t have anxiety and IIIIIIIIII don’t have anxiety. I can enjoy my dogs now!
It’s crazy. It’s totally working! No treat or punish training.
My Cooper is not fear barking and lunging at people and my other dog Hunny isn’t separation anxiety barking outside when she can’t see me.
It took one water spray and a grunt before she came inside; I closed the door again and she quietly, patiently waited to come in until I let her.
Some dogs are a little more stubborn (cooper has been surprisingly) but it’s working. Hunny fell in line immediately.
My dogs aren’t CRAZY! Amanda and I are working on leash training in 2 weeks. Potty/ crate training rn. No more pee pads.
This is what I’ve been needing in my home. Thank you Amanda!

Don't walk, run to work with Bark Busters. Please read my review if you relate to any crate-anxiety issues.
PermalinkHere's my story: I have a puppy GSD who's shockingly lazy, but his shepherdation (separation) anxiety was really out of control to the point where he could break out of his crate AND open my front door.
I would describe myself as highly dog knowledgable so I am VERY particular about the methods used by trainers. To each their own, but e-collars, prongs, etc are band-aids (or worseners) for most problems since most dog-owners don't really understand the timing/utility of these tools enough to ween off of them at any point. If your dog is a 100/10 lunatic, then I guess I get it :|
Anywho, I was honestly shocked to learn they don't even rely on clickers or treats, just straight up dog behavior and psychology, yet have the reviews they have.
Here's my summary. I am only 2 days post training, have received a comprehensive training plan with new crate recs, have gotten 5-7 minutes of a CALM dog in his crate once I've left (a miracle), and did nothing but learn to amend MY body languages and sounds.
Bonus that Anthony was an absolute delight to work with.
Hire them - you're welcome in advance ;)
