I first met Kayla 3 years ago after I adopted a girl puppy from Puerto Rico who needed help !! She had really bad anxiety and always seemed so scared. She was also a jumper and would steal food off counters. I knew she needed help !!
PermalinkI did so much research trying to find the best fit for us and it was well worth the time spent!!
As soon as Kayla entered the house and got to know Josie she already knew she was a good puppy !! We focused on how the trash trucks scared her and she would hide under my desk shaking. We also worked on her pulling me during walks or even bringing her out for a walk or to the bathroom. I was taught so many techniques that helped Josie so much !! Kayla has been there for me whenever something happened with Josie. She reassured me when I was struggling !! She taught me to be the leader and it worked !!
Welp I get a 2nd dog from Aruba. He was 6 months old when I got him so I knew he would need a lot of training. I was doing my best but he’s a big dog. 2 times larger than my first. I got lost in training him. I needed the reminder and confidence that I could be his leader. Cooper is a jumper and has knocked me over a few times. He also barks so much and scares all my daughter’s friends. I get it he’s massive but he’s just a big baby.
I reached out to Kayla and in one visit she retrained me and my family that we are the leaders. She showed me how to keep Cooper from not jumping and be more welcoming !! It took me a day or so but he no longer jumps on me and when people enter the house he is learning to greet them in a friendly matter !!
After the session was over I cried !! I felt all she did to help us will make his life better and ours !! I was in control again and it’s been such a difference in my house !!
She’s amazing and my life wouldn’t be a happy dog family house without her !!!

Josh has been an incredible trainer and made a huge difference with our rescue dog. He has been patient, responsive with our questions, and easy to work with. It is clear he has a lot of knowledge and experience when it comes to working with dogs, especially with behavior and nutrition. We have noticed a huge amount of progress in a short amount of time, and the recommendations he has given us have made our dog much happier. We had Josh return for a second session and he made time for us on a Friday night. We still have work to do but we feel much more confident and are looking forward to the continued results.

Let me start by saying I was a total skeptic. We have two German Shepherd pups from the same litter with a bond so strong, they had no respect for us. But then we found Theresa from Bark Busters and she is a miracle worker. Theresa came to our house and immediately put us at ease. Her passion for dogs is undeniable, and she took the time to understand our needs. We honestly didn't think these dogs were trainable but after one session we saw improvement. We have learned that we don't need to get angry at our puppies, but rather use positive reinforcement. We are on day two of training and I cannot believe the improvement that we are seeing already. We are finally enjoying these puppies and the best part is that Theresa will be back in a couple of weeks to teach us more! I definitely recommend Theresa to anyone that needs help with dog training!

We rescued an 8 year old poodle who has fear issues. In one session, we (my husband and I) were able to begin the process of getting him to trust us, to learn that we will protect him and we are the pack leaders!

John did not waste any time educating the two of us. He was extremely informative and my wife and I already feel like more effective dog owners.

Luna has been a handful since i adopted her at the age of 2. She was obstinate but loving to my wife and I. SHe just had a strong will of her own. We met Karen in October 23 and Karen was patient and explained exactly what we could be doing better, so Luna would be more trusting of us and listen! She taught us how to communicate to Luna in a way that Luna understood almost immediately. Karen gave us exercises to practice that we believe Luna enjoys doing it "right" and there are no treats or bribes. She listens because she finally understands what we want. Life has been so much easier for Luna and especially for us. We cant thank Karen and BarkBusters enough.

Gusty was a spectacular teacher. She was thoughtful, well versed, knowledgeable, and great with Ossie and Ginji. Ossie is 8 and Ginji 4 months. Justy made the generational differentiation, and gave us helpful education for both. A real educator and compassionate trainer.

It was amazingly simple and effective to use the totally humane corrections we were taught (it's more owner training than dog training, but it's painless and effective). One walk in the park and the problem behavior totally disappeared. The dogs are so much better behaved, and taking them out is vastly less stressful than it was the day before. Worth every penny, because the lessons are for life!

I have a literally pack of dogs! 6 that are doing the training. They responded so quickly to the techniques and even my hyper stubborn girl started to mind. The male I was having issues with aggression is no longer growling although I myself am still not comfortable letting him mingle with the other males yet. He does however play with the females again. Karen has been very attentive, informative and helpful. I would definitely recommend and do this again if I needed to.
