    I was reserved weather or not out issues (barking and aggression) could be dealt with but already saw improvement on our dogs straight away. I feel confident our dogs and us will grow a stronger bond now.

    Trainer Note:
    Mia and Iroh responded very well during the first session today. We worked though their leash reactivity and taught Crystal great ways to address their problems. Now that Crystal has the tools and the knowledge, she can continue to improve her dog's behavior and their relationship.

    Photo of Oliver It was an absolute great experience working with Joshua today. We saw major improvement in our pup and now have direction to train him. We are confident with applying all his techniques for a well-trained dog. Thank you!

    Oliver is a really great dog and has found himself a new home. Due to all the change in his life, he has been struggling with separation anxiety. Today we started him on a path to be calm and relaxed by himself. I am really looking forward to his progress and watching him grow.

    Photo of Scout Robert was extremely helpful addressing all my concerns with Scout. I saw improvements with him immediately. He left me with clear instructions on how to get Scout on a good schedule and better behavior. Robert was very professional and I would definitely recommend his service to others!

    I just finished my initial training session with Luis. I have 5 dogs in my house and my main issues are 2 things, 1 is that when ever there is someone at the door, our boys go nuts barking and running at the door wanting to jump all over our guest before we can even say hello to them and the second thing is that I can no longer take my dogs out for a walk or run because they have become impossible to walk together, they will pull me to the point that I can’t handle them because they pull me to the ground that’s how strong they are.
    Well, with our first session we practiced ringing the doorbell and having guest walk in, after the second exercise, the boys did not run to the door or barked at the door, instead they stayed completely away and so I was able to greet my guest and have them come in with no dogs jumping all over them.
    My second issue of walking the boys together, we did some exercises of walking them together in my backyard around the pool and they seemed to do great, now the real test will come after I’m done doing this for 10 days, then I get to take them out on the street and see how they behave.
    I truly believe in his program, I believe it’s very effective and will work as long as I am consistent with the training and follow all his instructions.
    I can honestly say, I would recommend Luis to anyone that has a dog and wants to have the best relationship with them and not a frustrating one.

    Photo of Bear Joshua was very informative and patient throughout our session. Our dog Bear showed a great improvement in his behavior after just the first session. We look forward to continuing his training and correcting his behavior, so he is happy and less anxious.

    Really great session with Bear today. We saw a complete 180 in his behavior and aggression with his owners. They had been struggling just to leave their home, but today was the first day they were able to leave with no issues. Jamie was very pleased and now she has the tools continue improving his behavior.

    We tried 2 other dog training companies before Bark Busters and were so frustrated with the lack of success. We were thrilled after the very first session with Dan Lan Franco of Bark Busters!!! Dan really knows dogs!! And the fact that he comes to our home where the behavioral issues happen makes all the sense in the world. Being with a trainer at a public park with the other companies didn't work to address our shitzu's barking when we leave the house or when a stranger comes. We are so grateful to have found Dan.

    Photo of Bark Busters has helped immensely with our two reactive rescue dogs!

    Even after the first training session, our 3 year-old dog showed marked improvement. For example, when I took him on a walk the night after the first training, we encountered a neighbor dog—in the past they would lunge and bark at each other. With the techniques learned, our dog remained calm walking past the other dog who was lunging and barking from across the street. It felt like we were on another planet—it was so different from past experiences and a relief! Our other dog is a 6 month old puppy and has also responded well to the training. It’s been great to instill good habits early on.

    Ryanne has continued to refine our training and troubleshoot issues that arise. She even brought her dog and training partner Omar to further address specific concerns.

    We have learned a lot. The Bark Buster training has been more effective than any class that we tried in the past. I especially like that it does not depend on treats and is focused on better understanding dogs and establishing respect as a leader of the pack.

    As a result, we have very happy dogs and humans in our home. It definitely has been worth the investment!
