    Absolute Magic!!! We brought home 11 month old Einstein (an American Bulldog mix) from the shelter almost 2 weeks ago and while it started off fine, it quickly turned in to him being suddenly afraid of our oldest daughter, as well as our vacuum and lawn mower (the latter two resulting in him biting me pretty dang hard). He was growling and lunging at our oldest and we knew if we couldn't get this fixed we would have no choice but to bring him back, which would break our hearts. In exactly one session with Ben, we had a changed dog on our hands. In a matter of 3 hours, we were not afraid of this dog anymore and we had the tools to make sure Einstein knew he had nothing to be afraid of either. I wouldn't have believed it was possible if I hadn't seen it myself. Even just the very next morning, we didn't have to do anything to stop Einstein from being cool as a cucumber when our oldest came upstairs to go to school. He even snuggled with her, which is mind blowing. In the other photo you can see him being completely chill while I rode my Peloton (which previously would result in him biting at my feet), AND while our other dog Bagel walked around the house. Usually those two play pretty hard and it's innocent, but Bagel is older and needs more rest breaks and usually Einstein does not like to comply. But here he is...leaving us both alone while we do our thing. This was life changing for us, and quite possibly saved Einstein's life, as who knows what would've happened if we had to take him back to county animal control. Thank you, thank you, thank you! We are so grateful to know that we have lifetime support for our sweet pup from a truly wonderful team!

    Bark busters is amazing! Our dog Noodles was very territorial and definitely had a barking problem. Erind helped us understand the root cause of the issue and provided us with lots of tips and trainings to help Noodles understand that he is not in charge and does not need to be a guard dog. We saw significant improvement within the first week. After the first month, he no longer barks when people come to the door and does not show any signs of aggression. We are still working on helping Noodles with his anxiety and are confident that we can resolve this issue with continued help from Erind. Highly recommend!

    Photo of Nicole has been AMAZING with training our Frenchie from when he was just a puppy and has since come back for two follow ups when we needed a refresher because we had gotten lazy and again when we had a baby and we got REALLY lazy with the dog training (plus more people were around and no one was following the "rules"). Our pup responded to her immediately and completely changed his behavior as soon as we started implementing her teachings. Let's be honest - WE were the ones that needed the training and retraining. Since the last visit (post baby) - he is the best trained and most well-behaved that he's EVER been and is generally just calmer and more pleasant as a result - our friends and family can't believe it. Nicole has also always been readily available via email and the materials she shares are wonderful resources to come back to and share with grandparents, nanny, etc. We can't recommend Nicole's services enough!!

    My puppy Loki was all over the place. He needed help with potty training, jumping, whining and coming back when I called him. Bill came in and changed the whole scene immediately. At the end of the first lesson I had the tools I needed to get Loki on track. Bill has come back to work with us on advanced training since and all I can say is wow!

    I can't get over how quickly our dogs responded to the Bah...and the high pitch voice for rewards. These guys are game changers.

    Photo of Max We decided to go with Bark Busters for our one year old (new) Boxer. Deb came to our home and immediately we were comfortable with her. She got right to it, teaching us skills and how to be a good positive leader for our Boxer. The training is positive rewards vs snacks, which is wonderful. Our homework is working and our dog is responding. We are very happy with our choice to have Deb come to our home!

    Photo of Zeus Josh provided a lot of great insight into the underlying motivation behind many of the behaviors my dog was having. He did great explain what was going on and how to handle each situation.

    Zues is a amazing dog and responded very well during our first session. Matthew was very pleased with how he responded and how he had control over the front door for the first time in years! He couldn't believe it!

    Donald has been extremely helpful with Nomar's training. He is very patient and Nomar has been picking up the commands surprisingly quickly. Donald is always checking in and is very accommodating. I would highly recommend Donald and Bark Busters to family and friends!

    My dog was acting aggressively toward family members and our other pets. I was considering rehoming our boy due to safety concerns but after just one session i see huge improvement. It will be a long road but Bill and Holly were beyond helpful and so knowledgeable, you can really see the years of experience they have between them. They are helping to nurture the relationship between my family and my beloved dog and teaching me skills and confidence to be able to continue the training alone between sessions. I would hugely recommend to get the peace back in your home!

    Photo of Trixie Trixie, my 5 pound Yorkie, was having a hard time adjusting to my newly mobile grandson. As he was crawling around, she would not stop licking his face and nipping his fingers while constantly following him around. Tommy came over and Trixie responded immediately. He stayed for a couple of hours to take us through a few scenarios and practice on location. Trixie and I both loved having Tommy over. He is extremely personable and very good at what he does. I highly recommend him.
