    I found BarkBusters on Google as I wanted to do more one on one training for my dog, Cooper, he’s a good dog but boy does he have a lot of energy! Mariah was great working with Cooper, the techniques work and best to be consistent with the homework! He’s still a loving, energetic boy (when needed) but he’s a lot better when interacting that he doesn’t get too excited. Thank you Mariah for taking the time to work with Cooper!

    I was skeptical of trying yet a third dog trainer to stop my 3 1/2 year old Maltipoo from barking. I was highly referred from a friend, and I gave it a chance.

    Steve came to my apartment and met Lily, who proceeded to bark. Steve stood up, did his stance and gutteral noise, and Lily stopped her barking cold. It is not an exaggeration to say she became a different dog from that moment. In one session, Steve taught me how to reclaim my leadership in our relationship, and how to use her instinct to please towards redirecting her bad habits.

    At the end of the session, we sat in an outdoor cafe at a busy intersection where many other dogs pass by. Lily would normally be barking incessantly. The New Lily sat quietly at my feet, not in fear, but reconciled to the fact that it is no longer her job to scare away other dogs. I am so grateful.

    Photo of Jasper What an improvement on day 1. The techniques and guidance provided by Joshua are already helping. He helped distinguish " act of correction" rather than actually correcting. Highly recommend!

    After spending 2 1/2 hours with Mark all I can say is that we made an Excellent choice on picking someone to teach us how to train 2 seven month old puppies. The way everything was explained to us and demonstrated was phenomenal. Our puppies responded quite well to the training that we did that day but also left my wife and I with a feeling of confidence that we can train our pups and a level of calm that I surely did not expect. Our dogs responded immediately to some of the techniques shown to us and knowing that Mark is available to us at any point in time is reassuring. We both can't thank Mark enough. His professionalism and demeanor were amazing. EXCELLENT choice for any dog owner in need of training, you won't regret it.

    Photo of May / Janina Today's training was thorough, impactful and very informative. It's the first time we've had a trainer not use any treats and really explain behavior of a dogs- totally makes sense!!

    We had a great experience with Jared as our dog trainer. Our dog Ronaldo is a very stubborn and sometimes aggressive Frenchie, and it was really hard to control him. But Jared was really helpful! He found ways to calm Ronaldo down and taught us step by step how to manage him. Jared is very gentle and patient. Highly recommend!!

    Google Review: "If have been looking for an amazing place and people to train your four legged family member, this is it!! I cannot say enough about the amazing experience we have had. We rescued a very trouble sweet girl who was afraid of everyone and saw everyone as someone who could hurt her. Instead of sending our sweet girl away to get trained some where, Betty and Rachel came to our home. They had amazing patience and their skill, knowledge, and expertise have changed our lives and our sweet Izzy's. They even worked with our older dog who wad stubborn and co dependent. If it weren't for them I honestly not sure Izzy would have stayed because of her aggression and these wonderful ladies saved her life and ours."

    We recently adopted a sweet, adorable Cavachon who immediately turned our household upside down. I have had several puppies throughout my life but have never had such an active, mischievous lil fur monster. After a lot of reading of training to no avail and a lot of research of training methods, we decided we wanted someone to come to the house so we would be involved in what and how she was trained. We wanted to make sure we knew what to do now and in the future. We did not want to send her away for a couple of weeks with no contact and not know what to do if we had issues when she came home. So, we settled on Joanne with Bark Busters. It was the best decision we ever made. After our first visit we felt confident that we were taught the tools to give the consistency and training our puppy needed. Within 2 weeks her behavior had improved significantly using the training and tools Joanne taught us. It has been so rewarding watching her respond to our instructions and corrections. We still have a bit to go but we have no doubt we will get there without all the stress!!!!!!
