Do not hesitate to call Barbara! This is my second dog to work with Bark Busters. Barbara worked wonders with our first dog, a Labrador Retriever that we were struggling with a drastic change in his behavior that we had noted with a new baby in the house and a divorce in progress. Her work with myself and my older children helped immensely and I had not doubts about calling her on again recently with our newest dog, 1 year old lab mix.
PermalinkOur newest addition, Penelope, reached the zenith of her bad puppy behaviors (jumping on guests, pulling on the leash, ignoring us when called etc.) during this past Christmas season and in desperation I reached out to Barbara to give us a hand. The change in our household with Penelope’s new manners was so quick and dramatic we had friends and family marveling over the difference in such a short time. Of course, working with a dog is always ongoing but Barbara provided the tools, encouragement and instruction we needed to get on the right course. She truly listens to your situation and the dog’s unique quirks and provides customized training plans to work on specific behaviors. She is very responsive via text for a quick question – something we really appreciate. I highly recommend her services to anyone struggling with troubling canine behaviors!

If you’re reading this as a frustrated dog parent, look no further for any other trainer/ company. Absolutely go with Bark Busters!
PermalinkAmanda, our trainer is a genius. She showed me this video of a mama dog correcting her pups
and this is what the leader of the pack (me) does. I’m basically mama grunting at them when they do anything out of line or any thing I want to correct. Amanda is super cool and personable and can show you so many ways to get your dogs in line. There’s obviously more to it than just grunting so make you’re appointment with this company!!! My dogs are happier dogs! My dogs don’t have anxiety and IIIIIIIIII don’t have anxiety. I can enjoy my dogs now!
It’s crazy. It’s totally working! No treat or punish training.
My Cooper is not fear barking and lunging at people and my other dog Hunny isn’t separation anxiety barking outside when she can’t see me.
It took one water spray and a grunt before she came inside; I closed the door again and she quietly, patiently waited to come in until I let her.
Some dogs are a little more stubborn (cooper has been surprisingly) but it’s working. Hunny fell in line immediately.
My dogs aren’t CRAZY! Amanda and I are working on leash training in 2 weeks. Potty/ crate training rn. No more pee pads.

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!

Don't walk, run to work with Bark Busters. Please read my review if you relate to any crate-anxiety issues.
PermalinkHere's my story: I have a puppy GSD who's shockingly lazy, but his shepherdation (separation) anxiety was really out of control to the point where he could break out of his crate AND open my front door.
I would describe myself as highly dog knowledgable so I am VERY particular about the methods used by trainers. To each their own, but e-collars, prongs, etc are band-aids (or worseners) for most problems since most dog-owners don't really understand the timing/utility of these tools enough to ween off of them at any point. If your dog is a 100/10 lunatic, then I guess I get it :|
Anywho, I was honestly shocked to learn they don't even rely on clickers or treats, just straight up dog behavior and psychology, yet have the reviews they have.
Here's my summary. I am only 2 days post training, have received a comprehensive training plan with new crate recs, have gotten 5-7 minutes of a CALM dog in his crate once I've left (a miracle), and did nothing but learn to amend MY body languages and sounds.
Bonus that Anthony was an absolute delight to work with.
Hire them - you're welcome in advance ;)

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.
PermalinkWe 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.

John was extremely perceptive immediately upon walking in the door. He was very understanding and patient! We feel very comfortable with his teaching methods. Looking forward to the future!

I would like to tell you how much I enjoyed meeting Karen, Angel’s trainer. She was very professional and ready to solve Angel’s issues. I was amazed at Karen’s ability to connect with Angel and how quickly Angel responded. I desperately need Bark Busters help and have a positive attitude about Karen to be able to answer all of my questions to insure a special relationship between me and Angel.
PermalinkI am impressed with how quickly the whole pack picked up on the training technique. Your commitment to the training process will, no doubt, yield long-lasting results! I look forward to our next lesson.
