    Derek has taught me so much about dogs and their behavior. Not to mention how to take better care of my sweet girl so she lives a better life! I'm happy we found someone we can trust and who is extremely knowledgeable. Derek is more than just a dog trainer. He is always there for me to help and answer my questions or concerns. He is helping me to understand Allie and she is becoming the dog I have always wanted!
    I'm eager to continue training and learn more!

    Photo of Rocky Smith Damon was so helpful and spent a lot of time with us. He explained everything clearly and gave us next steps to work on. We look forward to continuing our journey with him and Bark Busters!

    Photo of Last evening we were able to have dinner out with friends and leave Wally at home without worry…a first in the year since we adopted him! Thank you Justin for your help with Wally’s separation anxiety!

    This sweet 8-year-old little dog would always want to be near us, but could be skittish, shy, and somewhat distant. He was quiet, calm, and well behaved until left alone. Then the separation anxiety caused non-stop barking and howling and we would return to find him wide-eyed, panting, and agitated. Our activities became limited to those that could include Wally, basically avoiding and likely worsening the problem.

    Justin spent nearly 3 hours at our initial visit, listening patiently to our worries and frustrations and evaluating Wally’s behavior. He explained his approach and demonstrated some techniques, then left us with a solid plan for the coming week. Justin participated in these “homework assignments” via text or phone call and we saw immediate steady improvement in the first week - Wally went from barking & howling to a little whining & panting. Now three weeks out we hear a quiet sigh or moan in the first few minutes and that’s it. He’s happy to see us when we return and he settles down quickly.

    An unexpected benefit of this work on Wally’s separation anxiety has been a reduction in his general anxiety. He’s no longer skittish, doesn’t run after us if we leave a room, and has become a lap dog. We can’t thank Justin enough and recommend him highly. His work is not just about solving an annoying problem – it has created a whole new much healthier dynamic for this little dog family and we are so grateful!

    Thank you, Justine! Our mini bernedoodle, Willis, is super active, barks a lot, demands our attention constantly and doesn't settle. It was so helpful to reframe our approach to training and practice drills around charging the door, jumping up and leash walking. Justine was very clear in her instructions, gave us helpful feedback and follow-up plans to keep our training going! We've already seen adjustments in Willis' behavior after just a couple of days and that makes everyone happier around here!

    Photo of Benni Today was eye-opening in terms of learning Benni's triggers and how to correctly address them

    Devin is knowledgeable about dogs and Barkbuster’s services seem to cover everything. They cover nutrition to all of my pets issues. The fact I can continue to use them throughout puppyhood is great!

    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!

    Photo of Luna We learned how to better communicate with our dog on the first half hour. We are excited to put the concepts into practice to help both our dog and ourselves. Thank you Esteffany and Bark Busters!

    Photo of Journey Esteffany did a wonderful job at explaining the principles behind the Bark Busters training program. She showed the corrective procedures and was very specific with telling me and showing me how to implement them.
