I recently adopted an older Labrador Retriever who is sweet as the day is long, but initially a bit of a challenge. I can impart basic manners, but this dog liked my elderly cat for all the wrong reasons, and he quickly developed a taste for counter-surfing. His inclination outdoors, was to put his nose down and follow it. I felt pretty overwhelmed and wondered for a while if I would even keep the dog. Then I connected with Bonnie and everything turned around. She assessed our situation quickly and accurately, and she gave intuitive, positive, and non-coercive methods that worked VERY well for us. She took the time to explain reasons behind behaviors and training options. She was readily available for consult, advice and support. Her input and training are the reasons why I now have a dog who is manageable, pleasant to be around, stays off the counter and table, and finds the cat downright boring. I highly recommend reaching out to Bonnie if you and your canine buddy need some help getting everyone to a more comfortable place.

Michael and Lydia have been really wonderful to work with, and our pup Sunny just loves them! We wanted to get in-home training help with our pup when we first got her because we could tell she was going to be stubborn, sassy, and have lots of opinions. We knew she needed boundaries, but we had no idea where to begin, even after all of the research and YouTube videos. Doing your own research only goes so far until you need a professional to help you with YOUR specific dog and their personality! I was initially hesitant to hire Bark Busters with the one-time flat fee for the dog's entire life, but once I met Michael at our first session and he taught me how to understand my dog and how to gain authority in my home while still giving her all the love and attention she needed, I was so sold. They focus on training that is sustainable and is highly effective without the use of harmful items like shock collars and electric fences. Truly any time we have struggled with any behavioral issues with Sunny, Bark Busters is just a call, text, or audio message away. They are great communicators, so very patient and kind, you can tell they always know what they're doing and how to gain control over the dog in countless scenarios. They walk you through every step, and they focus on teaching YOU how to train your dog well in and out of the home, rather than just doing the training FOR you. They are always there for us when we need them. I already recommend them to our friends and family, and will continue to do so! We love you, Michael and Lydia! Sunny's and our quality of life have improved SO MUCH since you started helping us! Thank you!!!

John was absolutely very informative and educated in dog/pet behavior. He was very patient with all our questions. It was an absolute pleasure to learn from him!

Kyle was outstanding with helping us train our dog, Hanson. He was extremely personable, and took his time making sure we were comfortable with the training process. Kyle gave us the tools and instructions needed to train our puppy and fix some of the behavioral issues we were having. I highly recommend his services to anyone in the area looking for some help training their dog!!

Lee was great! He opened our eyes and gave great examples that explained a lot of things about our two dogs. My daughter came over later after Lee left, my husband said"BAH" and they didn't jump on her or start barking. Our dogs so different now. Can't wait for Lee to teach us some more.

Oh my GOD! Pascha was beyond incredible. I have already seen a huge improvement with my incredibly reactive dog. For the first time in months I have hope that I can help Canela feel safe and improve some of her behaviors. Highly recommend!

We have been amazed by the progress our 2.5 yr old rescue dog and 5 month old rescue puppy have had with our 2 training sessions with Michael so far! In just the initial session, our 2 dogs went from excessive barking and jumping when guests would come to our house to being calm and quiet. We have learned how to "speak dog" and help our pups feel more comfortable and less reactive. We can now have guests come over without the extra stress of dogs that may bark and lunge towards the guests the entire time. We are so excited to see additional progress as we continue our work with Bark Busters.

I reached out to Tommy feeling overwhelmed, heartbroken, and honestly scared about the direction things were heading with my 3yr old English Bulldog. What started as subtle behavioral changes had grown into serious issues—aggression, overstimulation, and a complete breakdown in communication. I felt lost.
PermalinkFrom our very first session, everything started to shift. Tommy gave us structure, clarity, and a completely new way of communicating with our dogs that brought an immediate sense of calm into the home. The chaos we were used to—dogs fighting over toys, barking, ignoring commands—was replaced with peaceful routines, respectful behavior, and visible relief in everyone, even our older dogs who used to stay out of the fray.
One of the best parts? The support doesn’t end after a session. Tommy provides a detailed plan, tons of practical tools, and follow-up that truly feels like a partnership. The Lifetime Guarantee means we’re never on our own, and that kind of reassurance is invaluable when you’re dealing with complex behavior. He checks in, answers questions, and genuinely wants to see our household thrive.

Heather Crawford was so great to work with at Bark Busters! I adopted two rescue puppies at the same time and in just a couple sessions they are so much better behaved!
