    There are not enough words in the English dictionary to express how amazing everyone at Bark Busters is.

    My dogs have some obedience and behavioral issues that needed to be addressed.

    I started my search for a dog trainer 24 hours ago. I'd known for at least a month that I wanted to get a trainer for my girls, but I really only started looking yesterday. I found Bark Busters through a Google search.

    * Scheduling:
    Tracy and Jason (who provided me information and set the whole thing up) are some of the kindest, most supportive and understanding people I've ever met in The Valley. Tracy was so patient and walked me through the process. I expressed that I was entertaining other offers and she was not pushy at all and understood we wanted what was best for our dogs.

    Jason followed up after my call with Tracy and was so kind and empathetic towards our situation. I'm a full-time college student, working my first full-time job in my degree field. I also own my own home, so to say money is a little tight is an understatement. Jason was able to figure out a way to do a payment plan that worked FOR ME. There was no shady interest hidden in the fine print and he kept reiterating that they're not there for my money but for my dogs. They care that the animals in The Valley are safe and happy. Money comes later. We figured out what worked for my timeline and what I could make work. This is honestly a big reason I went with Bark Busters. Working with humans and not money hungry vultures made this decision 10x easier. Jason, you are amazing and I'm so thankful!

    Jason also was able to get the trainers to my house THE DAY OF. That's right. I was able to call, figure out everything, and get Lissette to our home five hours later.

    * Training:
    Derek is amazing. I have yet to meet him in person, but he called me to introduce himself and talk more about himself and his mission through training. He answered every question and gave me so much confidence in getting what I needed from this new relationship. I can't wait to meet Derek in person. He's a very kind human being.

    I can't say enough about Lissette. She is a miracle worker. Their methods WORK people. Like actually work. Lissette was in our home for, hmmm 10 minutes? And our huksy was attentive and listening to Lissette with ease. Lissette is phenomenal-- a true gem. She sat with us initially gaining insight into our lives and what we want out of this. She wasn't judgey and empathized with us the entire time. Not once did she make us feel incompetent or dumb. She demonstrated everything and had us try, too. She never over corrected and helped us if we did something incorrectly. She ALSO gave us a tailored training program, diet advice and guidance, and truly helped build confidence we never thought we'd have.

    They do not use punishment or harmful training methods at all. I am very protective over my pups and I baby them to no end. I'm very picky about how they are disciplined and was so happy to see that none of their methods are cruel or scary.

    Lissette gave us SO many resources. One usually thinks this process is stressful, but this was the first time in a long time I trusted my girls together. I am SO happy. I can't wait to keep learning from and working with Lissette.

    If you need a dog trainer, nutritionist, or advisor: THESE ARE YOUR PEOPLE. So so glad we found them!

    We just started and so far we see some
    Progress with our stubborn cane corso puppy. Derek has been easy to reach and super flexible when coordinating appointments for him to come over .

    We came upon Bark busters while searching for a trainer that could help us with our rescue dog Kody. After a few weeks he began to display aggression towards people and other animals. He barked at everything moving ferociously while in the car. We were not able to take him anywhere. I could go into more detail about Kody's issues but suffice it to say they were serious. We knew we needed help but we were worried we may not be able to find a trainer that could handle such difficult problems with a very large dog. People recommended board and train facilities but we didn't like that idea because someone else is training your dog. We knew we needed to learn how to train our dog but we were clearly in over our heads. Several things were appealing about Bark busters. The price is reasonable and our trainer Josh has stuck by the promise to be Kody's trainer for as long as Kody needs. He initially spent almost 4 hours with us. We also really like his method of correction and praise without treats, choke, shock or pinch collars. A few months ago if you had told me we could get this dog under control without all of the above I would not believe it. The change in our dog has been amazing. All along the way Josh has been there to guide us with clear and concise direction. Josh is a very talented, dedicated trainer and teacher. A big part of the training has been his teachings on how to communicate effectively with our dog. He is also quite knowledgable about nutrition for your dog. We highly recommend Josh Rombro and Bark Busters. Today we were able to take our dog in the car to meet Josh at Starbucks and sit on the patio without any barking, snarling or lunging.
    We thank you Josh!

    Thank you Christine. It's amazing how quick things progress once you have the right mindset that your dog can understand!

    Photo of Willow Evan came highly recommended to us by a friend and my husband and I are SO GRATEFUL we listened. Our dog was a little over 1 year old and she was still pulling on walks, getting overly excited and jumping on anyone that came near her, as well as not listening to us for simple commands such as “come”. We came all the way up to Michigan from Nashville and set up training sessions. Evan met up with us and was immediately kind, patient, and extremely informative. We worked with him for a few hours and already after the first session we saw improvement with our pup. Once we learned how to properly train her, the rest wasn’t easy but it was worth it. We had to stay disciplined ourselves in keeping with all the training practices but after a couple months we feel like we have a new dog! She is now a great listener, is MUCH less reactive, and she has stopped pulling on her leash as if she were a sled dog. All that to say, we couldn’t have accomplished any of this without Evan. We are now recommending him to anyone who’s looking for some help dog training. Thank you again, Evan, for your service with us!

    Scot came to our home today and I was really impressed with his knowledge. We have 2 dogs, a 10 year old Maltese (who thinks he’s Alpha) and Beau, a 9 month German Shepherd. Scot walked us through our specific 4 areas of concern and gave us some great analogies the drive home his points. We were amazed that within 2 minutes he was able to get our dogs to respond to his commands, even the headstrong Maltese! It was great to see and we feel pretty confident we will be able to follow through with training our boys. Thanks Scott!
