I called bark busters in need of help with two new puppies. They were so quick to get back to me and answer all the questions I had. When they came out I was skeptical that neither dog would respond to the training. After the first exercise the dogs were already listening to me. I love that they teach YOU how to train the dog rather than them doing it for you. My dogs have already made a huge improvement from just the first session. I can’t wait to see how they continue to do.

Don't walk, run to work with Bark Busters. Please read my review if you relate to any crate-anxiety issues.
PermalinkHere's my story: I have a puppy GSD who's shockingly lazy, but his shepherdation (separation) anxiety was really out of control to the point where he could break out of his crate AND open my front door.
I would describe myself as highly dog knowledgable so I am VERY particular about the methods used by trainers. To each their own, but e-collars, prongs, etc are band-aids (or worseners) for most problems since most dog-owners don't really understand the timing/utility of these tools enough to ween off of them at any point. If your dog is a 100/10 lunatic, then I guess I get it :|
Anywho, I was honestly shocked to learn they don't even rely on clickers or treats, just straight up dog behavior and psychology, yet have the reviews they have.
Here's my summary. I am only 2 days post training, have received a comprehensive training plan with new crate recs, have gotten 5-7 minutes of a CALM dog in his crate once I've left (a miracle), and did nothing but learn to amend MY body languages and sounds.
Bonus that Anthony was an absolute delight to work with.
Hire them - you're welcome in advance ;)

I would like to tell you how much I enjoyed meeting Karen, Angel’s trainer. She was very professional and ready to solve Angel’s issues. I was amazed at Karen’s ability to connect with Angel and how quickly Angel responded. I desperately need Bark Busters help and have a positive attitude about Karen to be able to answer all of my questions to insure a special relationship between me and Angel.
PermalinkI am impressed with how quickly the whole pack picked up on the training technique. Your commitment to the training process will, no doubt, yield long-lasting results! I look forward to our next lesson.

I recently hired John of Bark Busters in Naples because I was seeking guidance in training my spirited “hard headed “ 4-year-old Red Nose Pit Bull.
PermalinkOne of the most striking aspects of John's training methodology is his emphasis on "being the leader of the pack" and adopting a mindset of "thinking dog." Rather than relying on harsh or punitive measures, or inundating Darcy with treats, John prioritizes the establishment of a strong bond of trust and respect between owner and dog. He recognized that Darcy thrived on structure and consistency, and he devised a training plan that aligned with her temperament and personality. He used games, interactive exercises, and real-life scenarios, John made learning both fun and rewarding for both Darcy and me. I am happy to say that I actually enjoy walking my dog now and my family and friends are not drenched with kisses anymore. LOL
The results of John's training approach speak volumes! John prioritizes positive reinforcement and fosters a bond between owner and dog. He has a compassionate approach and commitment to empowering both canine and human clients which set’s him apart as a true leader in the field of dog training.

John is excellent! He listens and understands your specific needs with your pet and provides the best training activités to help achieve your goals. Follow up visits are extremely helpful to refocus on areas we need help with. We’re so grateful that John provides this for as long as we need. We’re making great progress and that’s all to John help! Bark Busters is a great place to go to break old or new habits. Highly recommend!

Our English mastiff has been an anxious mess for a couple years now, after our first trainer did absolutely nothing we were a bit hopeless. Kristyn came into our home with no fear and taught us such amazing tools to help him. We noticed a massive difference after the first visit and we can't wait for the following ones. Kristyn has restored our hope that our dog can be a happy, loving dog that can go on walks and meet new people without being fearful.

We have seen improvements in Finnley and his two fur siblings the first day. As we continue to work with them noticeable changes in their behavior. The chihuahua has still been our challenge. She was identified as the "leader". She is coming along. Finnley we have not been able to see if the aggressive tendencies still are improved because we have not had any visitors yet.

Dan is the best! I have the sweetest boy, but his hyperactivity and anxiety were getting in his way. Dan helped me realize that with proper stimulation, everyone (including me) could see the best out of Charlie. Training your dog is just part of the equation. Giving them a fulfilling life is the other part. I was skeptical at first, but the results are more than I ever could have asked for. If you're struggling with an unruly pup, please call Dan!
