I’m so happy to be working with Omar on training my new rescue pup! After 40+ years of cats, I knew I needed guidance just as much as the puppy! Omar is super patient with both of us and we are both learning a lot! I didn’t know how to train a puppy at all. And now she sits, down, leash walks, and enters a crate in a vehicle for transport. Still working on potty training and dropping unwanted items. But having someone come to your home and work on exactly what is needed 1:1 is priceless. And he answers my endless questions. I’m thrilled with where we are so far and it’s only been about 6 weeks. You won’t be disappointed with using this firm!

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!

We worked with Kevin. He was amazing. He took his time and shared why we do certain things regarding commands that helped very much. Literally the first day of training I noticed a big difference in my dog. Kevin follows up and if you have any questions about the training or you need additional training, he will help you with that. My dog is happier and we're happier.

We have had one session with Deb, but she has been so great and Dani is responding very well to the homework that she gave us. I have texted Deb with a few questions before our next appointment, and she always responds in a timely manner with helpful, thorough answers! I love the approach that Bark Busters takes on helping people understand their dogs behaviors, and would recommend this service!

Orlando helped us get DeShaun on the leash and taught us how to gain his trust. He also taught us how to get him in and out of doors.

The session today was extremly helpful and just as much infomative. In this session the results were amazing. The info given will also help us keep up the work after this. I would recommend this service to all.

Working with Bark Busters has been an absolutely top-notch experience from start to finish. Scheduling was easy and they took the time to truly understand our needs before we even began. When James arrived for our first session, he came fully prepared and immediately demonstrated a clear understanding of the behaviors we wanted to improve. The trainer's (James and Michelle) are also the owners of the company and it shows!
PermalinkWithin the first 30 minutes, James gave us practical tools to address barking and over-excitement when visitors come over. Both of our dogs needed different types of support, and he was able to tailor the training in a way that never felt overwhelming. We noticed improvements after every single session.
Our dog Biscuit, who used to bark excessively and pull whenever we passed people or other dogs, can now walk calmly past them without reacting. This alone has made our daily walks so much easier and so much more enjoyable.
Hands down, this has been the best investment we’ve made for our dogs. We can’t say enough good things about James and Michelle and have already recommended Bark Busters to several friends. Highly, highly recommend!

I highly recommend Jared! I've been working with him for about two months now, I think we've had four or five sessions, and my dog has made huge improvements.
PermalinkOne of my neighbors even said 'wow, it's like he's a different dog!', and I was able to host a small party at home without having to worry about him bulldozing everyone when they walked in the door.
I have a 75lb, three-year old dog, and the specific issues we were looking for help with were:
- pulling on leash
- jumping on people to say 'hi'
- barking at people, dogs, cats when they walk by the window
On the first visit, Jared came to my house to get a better understanding of my dog's problem behaviors, and was able to teach me some techniques to practice for homework.
In the next visit, he was able to see what kind of progress we'd made, and point out how I could improve, as well as teach my parents and teenager how to communicate with the dog. He is very honest about what he thinks might be too much if the dog isn't ready, and what we need to practice. I really appreciate how he tailored his instructions for different people so they each felt confident about what to do when they are handling the dog.
Jared crafts his training program to meet individual's needs. For example, if you want to take your dog to a park, or outdoor restaurant, he'll go there with you and he show you techniques that work for that setting.
He doesn't use choke chains, e-collars, or any other negative/violent reinforcement tools to 'break' a dog into submission. He also doesn't rely on over-dispensing treats (I was doing that before) to coax a dog into behavior.
In just the two months we've been working with Jared, I sense that my dog is more relaxed, because I am more relaxed and confident!
