    Photo of Benny Our first session with Joshua was a complete success. Within minutes our 7-month-old Golden was listening and honoring our space / listening and responding on the leash, we can't wait to see what progress comes from the weeks of training!

    Photo of Soba I was so impressed by Mason and Estaffany! They were so easy to work with and they made my Soba so happy! She warmed up to them right away and took direction beautifully! I adopted her and had her only a few days before we had our first session (which I highly recommend to prevent bad habits developing in a new environment) when adopting! I was so excited and so proud of how well Soba responded to the rules and the conditions we set! You would never guess that she had a rough background or had years of other environments with previous owners! I use a walker, and Soba is very sensitive to me, almost like a service dog's instincts.... and she responded beautifully to the new rules and behaviors I established with the help of this team!!! They are awesome and truly want the best for your pet! I would recommend them for any owner, new or experienced-- you can't go wrong with them! They are awesome!

    Photo of Crowley Damon was absolutely amazing! My husband and I feel so much more prepared to work with our beloved pup, Crowley, after our first session! We have tried regular trainers on multiple occasions for Crowley's behavioral issues but were at a loss. As a behaviorist, Damon gave us fundamentals to work on based on how a dog thinks rather than focusing on tasks or commands, which has already been an enormous game changer for us as dog owners. We look forward to having a steady support system for Crowley as we continue to learn how to provide a healthier learning and home environment for him!

    I recently hired John of Bark Busters in Naples because I was seeking guidance in training my spirited “hard headed “ 4-year-old Red Nose Pit Bull.

    One of the most striking aspects of John's training methodology is his emphasis on "being the leader of the pack" and adopting a mindset of "thinking dog." Rather than relying on harsh or punitive measures, or inundating Darcy with treats, John prioritizes the establishment of a strong bond of trust and respect between owner and dog.. He recognized that Darcy thrived on structure and consistency, and he devised a training plan that aligned with her temperament and personality. By using games, interactive exercises, and real-life scenarios, John made learning both Fun and rewarding for both Darcy and me. I am happy to say that I actually enjoy walking my dog now and my family and friends are not drenched with kisses anymore. LOL
    The results of John's training approach speak volumes! John prioritizes positive reinforcement and fosters a bond between owner and dog. He has a compassionate approach and commitment to empowering both canine and human clients which set’s him apart as a true leader in the field of dog training.

    Dan is amazing. We have a lovely 3 year old rescue who is great with people but had a lot of leash aggression issues. Every time we would walk by another dog, she would start snarling. It got to a point where we felt like we were apologizing to other people more than we were actually walking.

    We contacted Dan and described the situation. He took the challenge and we scheduled a time for an in-home visit. After just 2 hours, we felt like we had a different dog. She behaves on walks now, often ignoring other dogs. Granted we are still doing a lot of work to keep everyone in check, but Dan's tips and guidance put us on the right path.

    We are now continuing to work on other training - respecting the door, walking at heel, etc - and feel like we're going to continue to make huge progress.

    Our only regret is not contacting Bark Busters sooner. We can't recommend Dan enough.
