Joshua is wonderful. He's so knowledgeable and patient. I'm very excited to be working with him.

Holly and Bill completely transformed our dog, Spike! He had severe separation anxiety and would destroy everything in sight when left alone. After just one session, we noticed immediate improvements. They gave us the tools to manage his behavior and showed us how to communicate with him effectively. Spike is so much calmer now. Highly recommend their services!

Josh worked through our training material and provided us with demonstrations on how to begin our trainings and worked on a schedule.

We were referred to Jared by a friend who had amazing results with their dog. I swear, from his first visit, my dogs were trained! They were both very responsive to the communication techniques Jared taught us to use with them. He's very friendly, prompt and responsive to any questions we have regarding behavioral issues in between meetings. We would definitely recommend Jared/Bark Busters!

I was at my wits' end with my rescue dog Luckie. I got him during Covid, and he was my first dog. Over the three years that I've had him, his behavior had gotten increasingly worse. He barked non-stop, didn't like anyone getting near me, and was no fun to walk as he peed every second. I wasn't sure I could keep him, as he was really impacting my life, and this broke my heart.
PermalinkMy first meeting with Kevin literally changed my life. All his teachings were about me using my voice and showing I'm in control. I could not believe the changes in my dog I saw from one visit! Kevin checks in with me and is available through text. He has come a few more times to check on us and further our education.
I cannot recommend this company more. I had seen other trainers, and no one has had such a long-lasting impact as Kevin and Bark Busters. Honestly, the best money ever spent.

Kevin is amazing. I have a shelter dog that I have had for 2 years. She is very reactive to men and other dogs and could not stay alone for any amount of time. I came home multiple times to my carpet being completely torn up so I knew I had to call someone to help train her. I didn't want her to be so anxious to be alone even for a short period of time.
PermalinkCustomer service was amazing from when I called. They explained everything to me, answered all my questions, and listened to all my concerns. They paired me with Kevin. I was nervous at first that I was paired with a male trainer as my dog does not like men but they said that's exactly why they are doing it. My dog can be skiddish but Kevin gives her space and time while guiding me on what to do. Within 5 mins she comes up to him and is good to go. I see Kevin once a month - sometimes more depending on whether I would like one. He is very communicative on text and we stay in contact throughout the time inbetween sessions so that he can tell me anything I need to change or update.
It has only been 4 months and Kevin has checked off so many things on my list. Here are some...
- my dog does not bark at the door when someone walks by, rings the bell, or comes in
- my dog can stay alone for a couple hours calmly and fall asleep
- my dog is crate trained and can be in her crate that's in the room by herself
- my dog does not pull and walks beside me
- my dog is not reactive to other dogs when on walks
- my dog goes in and out of doors only when I say ""ok""
- my dog listens to her commands - sit, stay, inside, drop it, wait, leave it, etc
- my dog is constantly looking at me to listen
I am also moving from LA to Australia and he is helping me train my dog to be comfortable in her crate for a 16hr flight. She's already doing so well in her crate. She used to escape from her old crate because of how panicked she was and now she goes in there on her own to sleep.
My dog and I have become a lot closer because of this training. My main reason for the training was that I didn't want her to be anxious all the time and Kevin has definitely helped her to feel comfortable and secure.
Thank you so much Kevin! You have made a huge difference in our lives! I truly appreciate it.

Bark Busters is a great find! $1595 for unlimited sessions for your dogs lifetime ($200 for additional dog). Definitely the cheapest dog training I've found out there. Apparently their business is in 3 different countries so you'll still be able to continue the training if you move someplace else.
PermalinkStephanie is a wonderful trainer with Bark Buster. During our initial meeting, she explained my dogs' behaviors clearly and how I could address them better so they understand. I wasn't expecting such fast results, but my walk with them the next morning was unbelievable. For context, I have a 3 y/o M Doberman/Husky (neutered) with attention seeking & hyperactive issues. He's aggressive with other dogs & people on walks, and pulls hard on the leash. My other dog is a 2 y/o M Malitpoo (neutered) who barks at everything inside & outside the house. For the first time ever, using the tools & tips from Stephanie, my D/H was looking at me & walking by my side the entire time. We came up on 3 individuals with big dogs on separate occasions , but my dogs actually listened to me to sit and they just stared at me as the dogs passed them. although they saw the other dogs, they remained calm (no tensed bodies & pointy hair) and didn't bark.
My D/H is still learning, but from that walk I knew I chose the right trainer for my dog. Can't wait to see how much more my dogs improve so they can truly enjoy their life to the fullest.

Bill and Holly are simply amazing! Our dog, Max, was having major behavior issues — barking excessively, pulling on the leash, and just being unmanageable. After just one session with Bill and Holly, we saw a HUGE difference. They gave us clear, effective strategies to work with Max, and we saw immediate improvements. They're patient, kind, and really know how to connect with dogs. Highly recommend Bark Busters and especially Bill and Holly!

Bill and Holly have been fantastic in training our dog, Bella. They really took the time to understand her behavior issues and gave us the tools to help her become more obedient and relaxed. What I appreciate most is how they treat both the dog and us as the owners with respect and patience. Their approach is not only effective, but it’s also sustainable. We’ve seen a huge transformation in Bella’s behavior, and we’re now able to enjoy stress-free walks and playtime!

I'm honestly not sure why It's taken this long for me to write a review for Adam. Adam is a gentle giant and sooo good with pups! I've had 2 dogs y train with him and they've both really loved Adam. Adam is so knowledgeable about different problem areas (one of my dogs was reactive on leash and the other had separation anxiety). He knew how to work through both problems and is always quick to respond to my texts. Admittedly, I panic quite easily and always text Adam when I'm freaking out about my dog's behavior - he always calms me down and is very patient with me which I'm so grateful for. I would highly recommend Adam to anyone who is having issues with their pup - you'll leave with a great trainer and a great friend :)
