    Gusty was amazing! We were struggling with leash reactivity, aggressive behavior in public around both people and dogs, and pulling on leash. In the first session she knew exactly how to work with my dog. She was careful about approaching the dog and nonjudgmental about the aggression my dog showed her. She talked me through how to work with her and the Bark Busters system and gave us a harness to help with the pulling. We saw significant improvement from the first session, the leash pulling is completely gone and her reactivity is much better and will continue to improve as we interact more with social crowds. I was so impressed with the results after one session.
    You can tell Gusty really wants to help the pups she works with!

    Photo of Bean We had an incredible experience- we quickly learned we were not setting up Bean for success and were quickly given the tools to help us all create a calm, safe, and fun environment.

    We had a really great session today working with Bean. We addressed potty training, crate training, and socialization. We also went over food refusal and threshold training. These are all the most important things for a puppy to learn before heading into the big world.

    Photo of Duffy The instructions provided seems to be easy to follow. During these few hours, we see improvement. Hopefully with more practices, Duffy would overcome her separation anxiety.

    Duffy has developed separation anxiety and has been struggling with her barking when she is left alone. Today we created a plan to overcome the separation anxiety. She was very pleased, and I am looking forward to her progress.

    We are so happy with Bark Busters Boston and Bonnie! We reached out to Bark Busters needing help with our dog Petunia’s behavior. We struggled with leash walking/leash reactivity and claiming the front door “no-go” zone which made it difficult to have guests over. Bonnie was quickly able to determine that her behavior was driven by her anxiety in certain situations and she gave us the tools to manage/prevent such behavior going forward. We’ve already seen a huge difference in her behavior and our walks are much more enjoyable! We’ve tried several different training programs in the past and the Bark Busters method is the only one that truly worked for us. We are so thankful for Bonnie!

    Photo of Loki The training session today was awesome. So much knowledge and results shown quicker than I could imagine. My favorite part is I didn't have to constantly reward my dog.

    Jef was excellent! It was our first meeting with him yesterday. Very friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He explained our dogs psychology and why they are acting the way they are and how to correct their behavior. We are just on step 1 at this point but are looking forward to continue working with Jef.

    Hi Brian,
    Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! I really enjoyed meeting and working with you and Christie. I am excited for Koda and Kayoke to learn to trust their humans and live their best dog lives.
    thanks again!

    Photo of Duke Joshua was thorough in explaining the "why" Duke behaves in certain ways. I am very pleased with the knowledge shared. I am excited to start implementing all that was learned today.

    We addressed Duke's barking, demanding behavior. and his overall relationship with Roxie. She was very pleased to have a plan and also a good game plan for success.

    They are absolutely awesome dog trainers! Just when you think all hope is lost on being able to take your pride and joy out for a nice walk because she wants to eat all the other dogs..bam! Here comes the experts. I have three very large monsters. One is practically a horse (Great Dane) and I couldn’t take her out because she is so much stronger and actually bigger than me. But bark busters knows all the tricks. In some areas of training you get instant results. While other areas need lots of consistency and patience, you can still see a change immediately! My husband and I have just started the training and I’m excited to see the end result. Bill, Holly and Karen are fabulous. Not only are they patient with my monsters but with us too. You have constant contact with the trainers if you need them. Quick response and they also check in with you to make sure things are ok. Highly recommend this training for your pet. You won’t be disappointed.

    Heather - Thank you for welcoming us in to your home. We love working with Stella, Max and Kimmy. What great dogs. You and Mark are putting in consistent work with them and it is paying off! Keep claiming that space and working with them on their manners. You two are such good leaders and now the dogs see it too!
