Really enjoyed working with Beth and her puppy Corky. He was very responsive and is a quick learner. We covered a lot of the basics and addressed potty training. I am looking forward to his progress over the coming months.

Josh has a very deep understanding of dog behavior and is excellent at communicating how to work with your dog, and what stapes to take to have a calm, happy well - trained pet. I highly recommend Josh and would definitely continue to use him for all my pets!

Working with Talia today was great she is a very smart puppy and has a desire to please. We are coving the potty-training basics and over all obedience. Julie was really pleased with how her puppy responded. With her being consistent and working with her she will continue to improve. I am looking forward to her progress over the coming months as she grows.

Amazing on how my dog has changed in one day. My stress level has decreased tremendously. Marc has taught me how to train hi bad habits. I would recommend Bark Busters to anyone who has a dog with bad habits.

James from Bark Busters has been our trainer and has taught us how by learning to lead our 95lb. Boxer mixed dog - Charley, we can modify his behavior tremendously in a positive way. We had been dealing with behavioral territorial, protective, and fear based issues that lead him to bite in 3 different situations. We tried other training methods in the past and nothing seemed to work.
Charley is a sweet good behaved dog when around the people he has always known, but we would always refrained from bringing other people home because of fear of his reaction. James taught us how establishing leadership and following through with consistency can change Charley’s behavior from a fearful reactive dog, to a more calm and secure dog.
Side note: While his fears of thunderstorms were not addressed in the training, by establishing leadership, his fear and anxiety of thunderstorms changed dramatically. Last night we had terrible and really loud storms in Summerville and in the past he would have jumped on the bed between my husband and I and would have been alert and shivering, but last night, I dragged his bed close to ours and instructed him to stay in his bed. Although he was alert to the noises, there were no signs of anxiety, panting, or whining and he eventually fell asleep through the storm. I truly believe that learning to lead Charley through the methods taught by Bark Busters added life quality for my family and our dog. We truly recommend them!

Skippy is a great pup! He needed lots of stimulation mentally and fiscally. He responded very well during our first session and made his mama proud.

It’s only day 2, but I can honestly say Holly and her training has brought peace back to our home. My family’s first session with Holly was just yesterday morning, but our dog’s disruptive behavior has already drastically improved.
Our dog Maverick is 10 months old. He spent the first 5 months of his life in a shelter. When he came into our home, he was extremely timid and anxious so the majority of our efforts have been to build trust with him and to make him feel safe. While this seemed effective for awhile, it definitely hasn’t lead to the outcome we were hoping for. Instead of calming him down, he became increasingly more possessive of me, he paced constantly, he barked and growled at everybody in the house who moved and he incessantly jumped on us to get our attention. On the rare occasions when he wasn’t on high alert, we got glimpses into his sweet and playful temperament, but his behavior was taking a toll on all of us.
Out of desperation, I started researching our options and learned of Bark Busters. We were all in amazement within 10 mins of Holly entering our house! In addition to the training session, we’ve been implementing the homework she gave us and the results are already remarkably noticeable. Maverick is truly a happier, more relaxed, compliant and confident dog! I’m really excited and hopeful to continue bringing out the best in him! Thank you Holly!!

LuAnne, I am so happy to be working with your "pack!" Maverick is a sweet pup who is eager to please. Congratulations on your first successful full day of training and finally finding harmony in your home. He is lucky to have such warm and loving humans in his life.

Very surprised and impressed to see such a huge difference in a couple of hours. She behaves as if she is a totally different dog. I'm excited to take this journey with Chloe now! Thanks to Joshua and Bark Busters!

Chloe is a very smart we worked on a lot of puppy basics. We also addressed boundaries and manners in the home. We are setting a foundation to build on as she grows! Miho was very pleased with how she responded and will continue working with her. I am looking forward to their progress.

Zeus is a really great dog overall he has just been struggling in the home with barking at sounds and people. He is also reactive when bikers pass by. Today we addressed his barking and he responded very well! Daphne was very pleased with his response. She will continue working with him and I will be following up with her soon! Looking forward to his progress.
