Bark Busters and Johnny, our trainer is AMAZING! He takes time to listen to the client and time to get to know your pup. He was patient, caring and easy to learn from. My girl had some "issues' from previous owners (3) prior to me rescuing her. Johnny was excellent at evaluating our situation, and helping me to learn how to help my girl gain confidence, deal with some behavioral issues and relax in her new home with me. ALL of Johnny's instructions are clearly explained, and practiced while he is here. We never feel rushed, but rather that we are his only concern. Each visit is productive, and addresses behaviors as they arise. Once you have established your training needs, he is readily available, quick to respond to text and make appointments to work on specific things as time goes on. I couldn't be happier and I recommend Johnny 100%!!

(Lengthy but TRUE!) Chris is amazing! I adopted my 5-year-old Pitbull in November 2024. He came with a troubled past—and the scars on his face told part of the story. Despite that, I could see he was a sweet dog who just needed some extra care and structure. I reached out to Bark Busters when I was at a breaking point. My dog had already attacked my boyfriend twice, and I was seriously considering returning him to the shelter. That’s when Chris stepped in and truly changed everything. The in-home training with Chris gave us the tools and techniques we needed to succeed—not just inside our home, but out in the real world too. With consistency and dedication, my dog has come such a long way. He now listens well, respects boundaries, and sees me as his leader. I really appreciate that Chris’s methods don’t rely on e-collars or any harsh tools. It’s all about communication and leadership, which has made a huge difference. Chris has also been incredibly supportive outside of our sessions—always just a text or call away when I need guidance. Thank you, Chris, for helping us turn things around. I truly couldn’t have done this without you!

Jeri helped us understand the difference between bribing our dogs with treats and teaching them to do what we ask them to do. The time she spent with us--and then with our dogs--was informative and eye-opening. We believe that we learned a lot, and that we will be much better dog parents. We had become very frustrated trying to figure out how to teach Wily to focus on us instead of other prople and dogs when we're walking. Jeri gave us strategies and practices to help us help both our dogs. It was a great day!

We got our German Shepherd at 9 weeks old, and as time went on, we knew we had to be proactive dog parents to prevent reactivity issues. We love adventure, and one of our biggest priorities was being able to take our fur baby with us to explore the world.
PermalinkIn the beginning, Miles struggled with leash pulling, lacked boundaries and social skills, and was highly reactive to other dogs, bikes, and motorcycles. We quickly realized that structure was essential for him, so we reached out to Bark Buster Home Dog Training - that turned out to be the best decision we could have made.
From our very first session with our trainer, Justin, we saw an immediate difference. He set the tone right away, and it felt like night and day. One of the things we appreciated most was Justin’s ability to simplify the learning process. He didn’t just train the dog—he trained us too. He helped us understand canine behavior and taught us how to communicate our expectations in a way that made sense to our pup (instead of just speaking English and hoping for the best!).
After just three weeks, our dog is so focused on walks that I actually enjoy walking him now. At only six months old, he’s become so much more mature. He’s learning to socialize, he’s calm, and his reactivity has drastically reduced.
The best advice I can offer: trust Justin to help build a strong foundation, but be prepared to put in the work. This isn’t a quick fix—it’s a commitment and a beautiful journey.
Thank you again to Dog Buster Training for giving us peace of mind and a better life with our dog!

We began to dread having visitors because our two dogs got so excited -- jumping and barking when the doorbell rang. On our first session with Sarah she showed us how to get them under control and that has made a huge difference but there's much more. Sarah taught us how to get better control when walking them on leash and an effective way to get their attention when we want them to come. (And our dogs now love her too)

I can’t say enough good things about Bark Busters and the incredible impact it’s had on my 2.5-year-old rescue dog, Copper. He’s a sweet boy but came to us with some behavior issues and a clear lack of confidence. Since working with Natalie, the transformation has been amazing Copper is becoming more confident, calm, and happy by the day.
PermalinkOne of the biggest changes has been his barking. It used to be really bad, especially when people came over he’d get overwhelmed and loud. Now, thanks to Natalie’s training and guidance, he’s learned how to stay calm and composed. It’s made such a difference in our home life.
This training has been worth every penny it goes far beyond anything we’ve experienced with big-box store training programs like Petco or PetSmart. Natalie’s approach is personalized, effective, and rooted in a deep understanding of dog behavior. If you’re on the fence, take it from me: this is one of the best investments you can make in your dog’s well-being and your own peace of mind.

What a great system for training Bark Busters has. We had an effective and fun 3 hours getting used to our new role as leader to our 4 month old Beagle, JR and Doxie mix puppy we had spontaneously aquired at the park. Adorable, but.....the most active, curious and mischievous dog I have ever owned. So thankful we found Sharon! She spent a few hours with us and what a difference. Not needing treats is a big plus, and rather becoming completely oriented to being the leader is an amazing and effective mindset for us. We all notice how he seems so satisfied and safe as he trots along behind or beside us as we walk him around our neighborhood. I can easily retrieve items he grabs thinking he can play with them. It's almost like magic as his jaw instantly opens as we visually connect (looking serious) as I remove it from his mouth. Potty training would be 100% if it wasn't for our not doing our part, and the playful biting is under control. I love the materials Sharon left with us along with her list of practice exercises. It has been so helpful to review. Watching Sharon skillfully bring out instant results with our puppy showed us this method totally works and in such a natural and healthy way for our him. We also feel great about knowing help is just a call or visit away, should anything else surface. Thank you Sharon.

When we first adopted our puppy it felt like we always had to be near her in the pen or in her line of sight or she would get bad separation anxiety and cried constantly to get out. At times training her felt like an uphill battle, but within minutes of the first visit, Scott helped us with her separation anxiety, along with teaching her to be in her bed instead of on the couch. This has been a HUGE improvement in such a short amount of time and my husband and I feel like we actually have time to take care of things around the home. I cannot recommend Scott from Bark Busters enough!!
