We highly recommend Dan from Bark Busters in Walnut Creek. We got Mr. Moose - a "mini" bernadoodle right before covid hit and think that much of his reactivity and anxiety stemmed from the shut downs. We tried some training classes, but he was really hard to walk on a leash, jumps on people and horns into our space with bumps to get pets. He was also very tough in the kitchen, counter surfing for anything he could grab - it made cooking really challenging. After our first session with Dan we could walk him easily with no pulling or darting. We also solved the kitchen problem by establishing that it was no longer Mr. Moose's space - it was AMAZING - I no longer have to cook with a baby gate around me! More recently, he taught us that we could use the same technique to get him to sleep anywhere else but our bed. We were sure that he would cry and whine, but once again we had success and we now can stretch out on our own bed! The great part of Bark Busters is that you can have Dan back as needed without paying anything additional. We are deeply appreciative to Dan for all of his common sense training (of us).

Bringing and adopting, rescue Katie, a Rough Collie, age 4.8 years old into my life 2.5 years ago from savecollies.org, has truly been a blessing in so many ways; hiring Kyle a treasured gift to us both!
PermalinkWe bonded from adoption! She is a definite love bug indoors with me and outdoors when on walks, at the Vet or Groomer’s, even Christmas Tree Farms is great with anyone wanting to pet or approach and loves her time at community Bark Park. Kyle noticed these traits and commented on her good girl behavior when we first met.
Enter the frustration and need for Kyle, Owner of Bark Busters Richmond, VA.
However, Katie barked at anyone, and delivery trucks in her home field vision, (from the window) and charged, jumped up and nipped at family & friends with whom she had no familiarity, her protection mode in full effect, negatively affecting our relationships. No one entering escaping her watchful protective gaze. I was at a loss.
Contacting Kyle following our serendipitous meeting at our Veterinary Office, has changed our home! Good Owners, good Dogs! As Kyle showed me and stated “You absolutely can teach an older dog new tricks and behaviors! They love to please!” Katie had been through several trainings in her previous Owner’s care receiving Certificates and Blue Ribbons, prior to being placed up for adoption due to her Owner’s passing.
Kyle began his instruction by stating and demonstrating to me in our home, new skills, behaviors and techniques which have changed Katie’s behavior for the better and for good! Kyle comes to you and your dog for life!
Katie has readily and happily responded to “Bah” looking right at me & “Good Girl” when barking is not needed for protection or redirection is needed, after our initial session!
When walking she is focused on commands from me and no longer lagging and pulling to lead after a few more Alpha techniques Kyle stated, and demonstrated. Taking the burden off of Katie and putting it on me is bringing peace to both of us!
Katie is more relaxed, smiles even more and looks to me to lead in our happier home!
Kyle shares his vast knowledge of dog training, his personal love and anecdotes of his passion for dogs !
Are you in need of a few new tricks and techniques to increase the happy in you and your dog’s home? Contact Kyle today!

We have tried a lot of things with our dog, including other training programs and medication, but training with Kayla is the first time I have felt like we have her separation anxiety under control. Kayla patiently taught us how to properly communicate with our dogs and techniques to make our fearful and reactive little lady feel safe, calm, and quiet. I learned so much from Kayla and cannot recommend her enough. She is a very clear and effective teacher and such an excellent communicator (human and canine!).

We recently welcomed a new fur baby into our home, and I was incredibly anxious about how our 10-year-old dog would react. When he began showing signs of distress and aggression, I felt overwhelmed and genuinely questioned whether I had made the right decision. I was nearly in tears, feeling lost and unsure of what to do.
PermalinkEnter Kayla—an absolute godsend.
From the moment she walked through our door, she immediately got to work. Her calm demeanor, deep knowledge, and intuitive approach put us at ease right away. Within minutes, she was working hands-on with both dogs, helping to shift the energy and dynamics in such a positive direction. She spent over 2.5 hours with us, offering not only immediate guidance but also practical tools, tips, and even healthy treat recommendations.
Amazingly, within 24 hours of her visit, our home already feels more peaceful. Our older pup is noticeably calmer and more accepting of the new addition, and I feel empowered and hopeful moving forward.
Knowing that Kayla is available for follow-up questions and support until her next visit brings me so much comfort. She’s truly remarkable at what she does, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her help during such an emotional time.
I highly recommend her to work with you and your fur babies - don't wait as long as I did !!
