    My dogs weren't necessarily "problem dogs" but we did have some small issues that could be super annoying. Because our second dog was a pandemic puppy and he had never known life without someone in the house (and had some anxiety issues) I had thought about getting some dog training, but wasn't ready to commit because of the cost of everything. Well, we were able to see the results of Ryan's first session with a dog-friend, and the difference in that dog's behavior encouraged me to pull the plug. I am SO glad I did! Our first session went really well. The dogs responded well and we were able to learn techniques that are easy to follow through on. However, it was our second session that blew me away! In just one hour I went from thinking I'd always have my two dogs pulling on their leashes, to being able to walk both dogs on a loose leash and have them remain at my side or behind me. I was STUNNED! and SO excited! There's no secret product or crazy voodoo, Ryan just teaches you how to communicate clearly with your dog (and all dogs). I am so excited. Other benefits that we've seen is that our puppy who was anxious around all strangers has calmed down significantly and both dogs actually pay attention to me when I give them commands.
    I can't recommend Ryan and his services enough!

    Photo of Root Beer Marc really heard our concerns and was very quickly able to show us how to control her aggression. Great input and feedback to show us how to work with her in the future.

    Photo of Kingsley & Phoebe James Duffy's Google Review..."We have a 4 month old French bulldog puppy who is all attitude and needs obedience training as well bathroom training, We had Bark Busters come to our house to work with her. After explaining their techniques and methods to us we started the training, after a very short time our wild child was paying attention to our commands, the transformation was amazing! The best part of this training was that our 5 year old 4 pound Yorkie took to the training even better, he was always at my feet when I am trying to cook, using their training technique I no longer have either dogs at my feet, we have plenty of other issues we will be addressing in the coming weeks, the lady’s at Bark Busters are training me as well as our pups the right way, I highly recommend Bark Buster to train you and your pups it can change your life Ps. Baby bulldog has not went potty in the house the past 24 hours!!"

    Trainer Note:
    Frank is a really cute Yorkie that has been struggling with anxiety and aggression towards people in the home. He is now learning he does not have to assume that role in the home. He showed some really great progress today in our first session.

    After the first lesson with my 4 crazy loud and stubborn dogs, I saw instant improvement. Every lesson since the first day has improved all of my dogs’ behaviors along with giving me confidence. I can now take my dogs for a walk in my neighborhood and hear my neighbors say hello to me rather than becoming deaf from my dogs’ loud barking. I am very pleased with Larry and his training, he kept in contact and checked up on us regularly.

    Photo of Edna I was walking our dog, Edna, in Woodbury one day and saw a Bark Busters truck in front of my neighbors home. I went home and immediately Googled the company as Edna’s barking (among other habits) had gotten really bad since we moved. I submitted enquiry and within 24 hours someone reached out to me. I was impressed with the company, the approach and the communication out of the gate, so my husband and I decided to make the investment in our dog (and our sanity). Flash forward to after the second session with Ryanne, we’re very pleased with her as well as the program. During our initial assessment and training session (in our home, which makes 100% sense as opposed to other programs that take the dog away to train), Ryanne took the time to really understand our home routine, assess Edna, and identify areas of opportunity for Edna and us to work on. It’s not “magic” but the process DOES work so long as we as owners are consistent. Even after the first session, we saw a difference in Edna responding to us. We also got some really good insight into why Edna does the behaviors she does, which helps us better manage her behavior. The resources — from direct communication with Ryanne to the information packet — have been really on point. The strategies are founded in research and a strong understanding of canine behavior. The non-reward approach is very important to us. We feel like we have an ally in helping us help Edna be her best little dog self! In summary, we strongly recommend Bark Busters for anyone looking for a lasting solution to their dog’s sub-optimal behavior. We’re so glad we found Ryanne!

    Photo of Trigger / odin Josh is an amazing trainer! He addressed every issue / concern that we had for both our dogs. Very thorough and informative! Josh is very friendly and has a true love for dogs, even aggressive ones like ours. We are so lucky to have found Bark Busters & Josh. Immediate results. Also, Brian Josh's assistant made the process easy and smooth. Brian was extremely friendly and knowledgeable when it came to our issues.

    Trigger is German Shepherd that has been struggling with aggression. We are working with him to over come this and also learn to be part of a pack. Olivia has a great bond with him and a sense of leadership. I think with her taking the lead he will make great progress.

    Hi Lee
    It's been an amazing 24 hrs since you left yesterday.
    We had 2 walks with just 2 situations yesterday..one due to people walking across the street and the 2nd was a neighbors dog in the front yard. He responded immediately to both with a Bah and tug.
    Today's walks have been great. He walks by my left side and doesn't pull at all!
    My husband's turn next to walk him a few times today. Plan to do the guests at the door test in a bit.
    He also responded to Bah and our standing and ignoring him, he laid down and we praised him, when he was barking at deer out the window.
    So far so good. He seems calmer.
    Thank you so much!
