    Photo of Brother Charles (Charlie) The training that Michelle provided for my puppy Charlie (and for me) was phenomenal. Brother Charles struggles with separation anxiety, wherein he continually barks if he is separated from me by a door. He also tends to jump up on me and others. I learned from Michelle how to "growl" and clap in order to correct these behaviors. I was in awe over seeing how responsive Charlie was to Michelle's first attempt to do this. Although we still have much more work to do, Charlie is now more calm and has a greater capacity to wait for me outside a closed door. It gives me much hope that Br. Charles has the capacity for obedience in him!

    Photo of Lucky / Snoopy / Charlie The dogs showed immediate improvement in their behavior. I am much more hopeful they will continue to improve and be more accepting of friends and family.

    We addressed Snoopys and Charlie aggression with new people in the home. Melissa is now taking charge of the home and her pups are a lot more relax now that mom is leading them. Today was the first day she had someone new in the home and the dogs were CALM! She was very pleased with our results today!

    Goldie is an amazing pup that has been struggling to adjust to her new forever home. Today we worked through some basics and in home manners. She responded very well and picked up quick! Nancy really like that our training techniques were easy and direct! They now have the tools to be consistent till our next session! I am really looking forward to her progress over the coming months!

    Holly and Scott were fantastic on our first training experience with them! We have three very sweet dogs with very bad manners and all three of them responded great to Bark Busters training method. Holly and Scott were able to explain and teach us how to train our dogs in a way that made sense and it really is amazing how well this method works. We’ve tried so many different training programs and this one is different. It works consistently, it isn’t treat based and doesn’t require much more than your voice and your body, and really is so simple. We’re very grateful we have the privilege and opportunity to work with Scott and Holly, and we know we have a great support system with them at our side. We’re excited to continue training our dogs with this method and look forward to a future where we have control over our house! Thank you, thank you, thank you Scott and Holly!!

    We reached out to Bark Busters a week after adopting a 4-year-old female pit from the Bakersfield pound. Her and the 1-year-old Pekingese that we've had since 8 weeks old we're having a tough time adjusting to each other. Our Pekingese was barking and biting our new pup and in response, she would growl and charge him.

    We didn't think we'd be able to keep her but after one session with Karina, they are doing great! Our first session was 3 hours and we learned so much. It felt so nice to know we had control over the situation and that our dogs actually listen and understand the techniques Bark Busters uses.

    Karina was awesome and so personable. She validated everything we had been feeling and gave us the tools and knowledge to solve the issues. We even left them alone to go to the market for the first time and they did great!

    Hiring Karina was the best money we've ever spent. I have never had a personal dog trainer but we hit gold and will continue to use them in the future for any new dogs we get and definitely recommend them to anyone we know who is looking for a trainer!

    Photo of Nelly Comprehensive, detailed but attainable! Our trainer was friendly, resourceful and patient. We already see a noticeable improvement and he hasn't even left yet! Can't wait to keep practicing.

    Nelly is a very smart and responsive pup! Now with Jill taking the lead Nilly can follow in the right direction. We worked on her barking and leash manners. We also addressed her behavior with new people in the home. I am looking forward to her progress over the coming months.

    Remy has developed separation anxiety and has been struggling with barking in the home. Today we addressed his barking and anxiety, he responded very well! Carole now has the tools and leadership and with consistency he will continue to improve. We also worked on his leash manners and pulling! He was walking with a loose leash in minutes!

    Honestly, they are one of the best trainers, I've had. Very patient, and their techniques are so easy to remember unlike other trainers I've been to! I highly recommend working with Karina!
