    Michael arrived promptly, began, educating us on the finer art of dog training, and obedience, so that we can enjoy our pets, and they can feel secure and happy. It was the fastest three hours we’ve ever experienced, and we are implementing the study points daily to ensure success. We highly recommend the investment if you are seeking well behaved dogs, who understand they are loved, and also should adhere to protocol.

    Photo of Levi & Maggie Michelle Rodriguez is wonderful! It's a process, not an instant fix and you have to do the work if you want to be successful. She's super supportive and the training is available for the life of your dog. Every time we run into a new situation she's there to help me through it. If you're willing to work on the training every day you WILL see results, this program works!!! And all without fear or punishing your best friend (or friends), just learning to be the leader of your pack!

    It is no exaggeration to say that Kevin from Bark Busters literally changed my and my dog's lives. I absolutely cannot recommend him enough.

    Holly has always been an anxious dog, but after the pandemic, this got even worse. She became very fearful and aggressive towards any people she didn't know. She is very cute and eye-catching, so people are always wanting to pet her. But when she starts barking, she's so loud and scares the heck out of people.

    She would bark at any person who approached her, anyone jogging, anyone carrying things -- and sometimes at random people who did nothing at all. She even started nipping at their heels, and tore someone's pant leg. She did the same thing to any new person who tried to enter the house, too. It got to the point where I couldn't take her anywhere without fear, and I couldn't have anyone come to my house unless I had her locked away.

    I was terrified that she was going to bite someone, and I felt awful that she was so anxious all the time. None of the training techniques I tried worked! I saw several trainers, and did research on my own as well. The problem is that Holly isn't very food motivated, and isn't toy motivated either. Positive reinforcement just wasn't working, but I didn't want to be cruel to my dog either. I was starting to think that I'd have to make her wear a muzzle or a shock collar.

    I found Bark Busters, and though I was hesitant to spend so much for training up front, it has paid off tenfold. Kevin is amazing. He really understands how a dog's brain works, and he taught me how to communicate with Holly in a way she can understand (but not in any BS "alpha dominance" kind of way).

    The training helped INSTANTLY. Within days of our first session, I was able to bring someone new into the house without her scaring them away. Now that she understands what I want from her, and that she can rely on me to handle any uncertain situations, she has become so much more relaxed. Walks are a breeze now, and I can let her off leash in the park with no trouble.

    I would recommend Bark Busters to anyone, but especially if you have a dog who doesn't respond to "traditional" training that's only reinforced with treats. I promise you will not regret it!

    Photo of JeepZ Lee was terrific. My dogs misbehaved when he arrived. He allowed it for a while then he instantly, with a single action sequence, brought them under his control. His instruction was simple, easy to understand. It made so much sense that I had to wonder "why didn't I think of that?" It was a wonderful experience and my dogs were greatly improved before he even left the house.

    Racco has been aggressive in an around the home with people and dogs. Today was the first time she was able to have someone new in the home and her dog was calm! She was thrilled.

    Really great session today with J.J. He is a smart pup but struggling with a bit of fear. Today we addressed all the basics and how to start socializing him now! This is a huge focus and crucial for his success to being a calm confident dog!
