    Photo of Gracie Omar and Ryanne watched our dog, Gracie while my husband and I were on vacation. I knew the moment I met the both of them we would be in great hands. Not so sure Gracie was ready to come home with us. Omar and Ryanne send us texts and videos of Gracie while we were away. We can't thank them enough for the love and care they gave to Gracie!!! Highly recommend Omar and Ryanne. Two wonderful people who love to help and care for your pet.

    Sarah is amazing. She helped us understand our dogs better and how better to handle some situations. We saw improvements right away. She listened to all of our concerns and walked us through all areas of concern. We have had follow ups with her and she is easy to get ahold of in-between lessons with any questions that arise.

    Ryanne and Omar with Bark Busters are absolutely incredible! They recently came to my home to evaluate the temperaments of a litter of 7 week old puppies, and I was so impressed with their knowledgeable, professional, and caring approach. They truly know how to “speak dog” and have such a deep understanding of behavior—it was amazing to watch.
    Their insight made it easy to see each puppy’s unique personality, which gave me confidence in matching every puppy with the right family. I’ve also seen the amazing results they’ve had with training dogs and the families I work with.
    I can’t recommend Ryanne and Omar enough—they are knowledgeable, compassionate, and always put the dogs’ best interest first.

    Photo of Torii I couldn’t say enough great things about Bark Busters. Ryanne and Omar were super quick to respond to my inquiry, cleared up all my worries and confusion, with great communication and planning. Ryanne and Omar were fair and intentional when it came to the evaluation. I’d highly recommend partnering with Bark Busters, whether it is training or evaluation- stress free, friendly people and they showed my pup love and saw his potential.

    Omar has been a blessing! Acquired an older dog from my parents with absolutely no training. Within 2 sessions (have more scheduled) he has taught me so much on how get my Daisy to walk without pulling. Snapping at my children or anyone else coming close to me while she’s on my lap! He also taught us how to handle our other dogs constant need to be petted and attention. Absolute game changer in our household.

    We realized we needed a behavioral trainer when our dog began to occasionally snap at some family members. She had been a bit unruly already but we weren't totally concerned until then. Jared came out to our house and we started with Kali put away. We just kind of talked about the issues we were having with her and what we wish she would see in her. We discussed how some things are trainable and others are personality issues that would need to be more about us controlling the environment. Then we gently introduced her and he got to see her silly craziness in action. I think right off the bat, Jared realized that Kali was walking all over us and that it was causing both her as the dog and us as the owners some anxiety. He taught us how to be the owner and treat her like an actual dog so that she would not feel the need to be the mom protect protecting her little pups. She has become a lot more trainable, less anxious, and brings us a lot more joy. Jared has been coming out regularly to teach us new training techniques as well as checking in to see how we're feeling about her progress. Our biggest thing is that Jared helps us stay accountable with the training. Because it's not a pay per session type of training business model, we know that Jared does this because he enjoys working with dogs and bettering them through their owner. He has been super helpful and we are seeing progress in Kali every day.

    We reached out to Bark Busters when we were preparing our dog Ollie for a major life change—a new baby in the house. From day one, the experience exceeded our expectations.

    Our trainer, was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thoughtful in their approach. They didn’t just teach Ollie—they taught us how to communicate in a way he understands. The methods were gentle, effective, and built around trust and consistency.

    What impressed us most was how tailored the training was to our home and lifestyle. It wasn’t a one-size-fits-all approach—it was a plan that respected Ollie’s personality and our family dynamics. The confidence we’ve gained as dog owners has been just as valuable as the progress Ollie has made.

    Now that our baby has arrived, Ollie is calm, respectful of boundaries, and still the sweet dog we’ve always loved. We’re incredibly grateful to Bark Busters for helping make this transition so smooth.

    Highly recommend for any dog owner—whether you're dealing with behavioral challenges or just want a better relationship with your pup. Worth every penny.

    I can't say enough about working with Ryanne and Bark Busters. We have a 1 1/2 yr old and 8 yr old dogs and I contacted Bark Busters to help with overall listening, recall, walking on leash, greeting people at the door etc. I had tried other trainings like boot camps, in person training and in home training and nothing really stuck. From the very first visit, everything changed. The approach you are trained on was a game changer for me. It gave me the understanding of dog behavior that I needed, and immediately made me more confident. The follow on visits were SO helpful and were completely tailored to my dogs, their personalities and the dynamics of our household and of their relationship. I greatly appreciated Ryanne's follow up messages in between visits and her tips for things to try in the meantime. At one point, I felt like the leash training wasn't working and wanted to throw in the towel and try something else - but Ryanne gave me some videos to watch and made sure we got it figured out on the next visit. My dogs - especially the puppy -are different dogs and I have a totally different perspective on how to establish a positive training relationship with them. While not everything is perfect, I don't give up or get discouraged, we just keep working on things. I also love that the training is for the life of the dog - knowing that I'm not "starting over" if I have them come back to help with something is a huge benefit and means I'll be more likely to take advantage of it. Don't waste your time with other methods - working with Ryanne is the only way to go!!

    We had our first session with Omar and are already seeing huge results with “front door manners” in both our dogs! Can’t wait to see what comes next. Thanks Omar!
