I saw great improvement and results just in this first session. Amber was amazing and answered all of my questions. We are really excited to continue working with her.

So my fiancé and I rescued a mutt from the shelter who was abandoned 3 times and was sitting in a shelter from February of this year until about May. We were sent photos of the little guy and my fiancés heart immediately melted and a week later he came home with us.
PermalinkWhat we didn't take into account was how much of a headache this guy was going to be when we got him, likely due to his trauma and whatever he experienced before us. The little guy, now called Reaper, was barking at every single dog, bird, cat, and any other animal, as well as lunging and pulling like the world was ending. We knew that there would be some adjustment period for Reaper to settle down and get used to us and while he did, he was still a huge headache. We then got him neutered him and hope he would calm down a little and it helped but not much.
We got a little desperate and tried using YouTube to train him but it didn't workout like we hoped. Then we found BarkBusters, specifically Jared for the SMC area. Let me tell you, this little headache of a mutt is a completely different dog than when we first met him. Almost a complete 180.
Reaper still barks and needs work but Jared started with fundamentals and how to "talk" to the dog in ways he understands so he can find his place and his purpose in the household. We've had about 4 sessions so far and each time builds upon the last and Reaper can now sit on command, stay, and knows his boundaries like we didn't think was possible.
Now Reaper is a huge handful and there's still plenty of work to be done, but in comparison to what he was when we got him and what he is now, we can't recommend Jared enough.
He's the real deal. He helps you understand your dog and come up with reasonings as to why your dog does what he does and helps your dog understand you!
One of the best investments you can make if you have a handful of a mutt. Hands down.

Chris was incredibly kind and genuine, he gave us lots of practical tips to use with our dogs. We’ve seen significant improvement in their behavior. Especially helpful was the ongoing support Chris provided in between lessons.

Steve spent only 3 hrs with me and my tiny 3.5 pound Biewer Terrier and the results were immediate! Ms Shimmer used to bark at TV commercials, every time I was on Zoom, when my phone rang or my printer was printing, when the buzzer rang and at hearing any noise in the hallway of my apt building. She had a stranger-danger issue, morning, noon and night, even at 3am. I am still reinforcing her training, of course, but one command when she barks will stop her, plus a lot of love when she obeys. She is walking next to me now and not pulling. Steve was great at teaching me too on how to behave in a way to take command! Definitely worth the expense to get instant results without loading Shimmer up with unnecessary treats. Shimmer and I have a new relationship and peace again reigns! Both of us are happier now and my neighbors appreciate the quiet too! Definitely recommend giving Bark Busters a try!

We worked with Cassidy after our 80lb dog Bruno nipped at our 10 month old. We had the most incredible experience from start to where we are now with Cassidy (until more life changes happen!) Bruno is a good boy who had a bad day so he took to the training seamlessly, he just needed adjust to our new lifestyle and we needed to be the ones to correct him and keep him calm so he can live his best life. And Bruno is happier for it! You guys are the best and I am so thankful!

We have a 2 year-old male dog. We love our little guy but were concerned because he reacts aggressively towards some dogs, and we were worried that he might bite the other dog. He also sometimes barks uncontrollably. My wife and I tried various approaches to see if we could correct his behavior with no luck. We found Bark Busters and from their description of their approach sounded very promising. We had our first appointment with Josh Furchess and he was very informative as to how we could change our dog’s attitude. He went over things in detail explaining why our dog was behaving the way he was. Josh spent several hours with us going over the exercises and guiding us on how to work with our dog. After the first session we were amazed at the change in our dog’s attitude and how he listened better. We have been practicing with our dog over the past couple of days and now understand how to be more effective in how we communicate with him. We are very pleased with the quick change in his behavior. We were pleasantly surprised that he behaved very well around other dogs when we took him for recent walks. There has been a dramatic improvement in just a few days, and we like the fact that Bark Busters is there for you for the life of your dog. Josh was very responsive and said that he was available if we needed his help and that he would check on us periodically to see how we are doing. We aren’t sure how other dogs may respond, but we were very happy with the results and are looking forward to seeing our dog continue to improve as we work with him more.
