    Photo of Charlie My husband and I needed leash-tugging training for our golden retriever puppy after I had a bad fall on a walk. We found Barkbusters here on Yelp and could not be happier with the decision to invest in this training. After 1 outdoor/walking session, the tugging stopped.
    We thought the idea of bridging the communication gap with voice commands made more sense than treat training - and can now report that it absolutely works! Our puppy is a joy to walk, and at almost a year old we've worked on biting, barking, jumping and recall, with the continued lifetime support paying off as he grows and changes.
    We must add that Dan is the BEST. He is knowledgable and provides honest insights and answers all of our questions fully. He is calm, on-time and we always feel like we've got a handle on training after we meet with him. The tools he has given us to help with training, such as a harness, have been extremely effective, too.
    If you live in the east bay, we highly recommend Dan!!

    Chris’ training has been insightful and effective for Squints and our family as we have seen a steady improvement in Squints’ behavior since starting training with Chris and Bark Busters.

    Photo of Lucy / Sophie Joshua really helped break down the fundamentals for us in managing our dog. Now I feel like i have a focused set of tools to get my dog on the right path.

    Chris is the real deal! Down to earth and flexible, has the knowledge and experience to handle all questions and advise in any situation. Extremely responsive and available! We are working with him to insure our 12 week old lab is able to become a fully registered therapy dog to service veterans , children, Elders and Cancer Patients. His knowledge and experience is most impressive. His guidance is impeccable!

    Having been an educator and an education professional for more than 29 years I find it most impressive to meet someone who is in tune with both animals and their owners meeting all needs.

    I highly recommend Chris for all your training needs. You’ll not be disappointed and will be most pleased with the results.

    Photo of Mushroom Joshua is absolutely wonderful and very through. He walked me through all the practice exercises, and I was amazed at the immediate difference they made. I am looking forward to practicing daily and cementing the behavior he helped establish today.

    Photo of Brody, Bella, Rip, ......................... There's a few We have a pack of Shih Tzu's ages 1 - 10. Decided recently that the cute poster that says "Dogs have owners but Shih Tzu's have Staff" is cute but was getting too close to reality. Mike arrived and gave us a new look at how to interact with our little guys and after the first lesson watching Mike get a pack of barking dogs sit and wait to be told what to do next, we were on our way.
    The second visit by Mike helped us realize that we were so thrilled with the success from the first visit we were slacking on follow up training. Mike is natural with our best friends, and we hope we can develop some of those talents.
