    Worked on dogs respecting owners and boundaries in the house and also with furniture/guest. Session went much better than expected.

    Photo of Gerrard We cannot recommend Bark Busters and our amazing trainer, Ryanne, highly enough! We were expecting our first child and reached out for help with our 10-year-old Yorkie, Gerrard, and we are absolutely blown away by the transformation. Ryanne did several in-home visits and took the time to truly understand Gerrard’s behavior and our needs as owners. She patiently taught us how to train him in a way that was both effective and easy to follow.

    Thanks to Ryanne’s guidance, Gerrard is like a whole new dog—calmer, more obedient, and happier than ever! Her expertise, professionalism, and genuine love for dogs were evident from day one. If you’re looking for a top-notch dog trainer who delivers real results, Ryanne and Bark Busters are the best choice you could make!

    Thank you, Ryanne, for giving us the tools to create a better life for Gerrard and our family! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Photo of Luna Michael is a dog whisperer!!! Our 2 year old mini bernedoodle Luna struggled with separation anxiety, reactivity, and leash pulling. She’s not a food motivated dog, so previous dog trainers could only help her do some tricks with food as a reward, but they didn’t address her overall behavior with that training method. Michael’s method of using the way dogs instinctually communicate is like magic! After just 10 minutes of training, Luna was acting like a completely different dog. She stopped doing behaviors she had been struggling with for 2 years in such a short period of time. Michael taught us how to be the leaders and how to help us set healthy boundaries that are good for us and for Luna. We don’t even need commands such as “come” or “look” for recall anymore after Michael taught us how to use our tone and body language to communicate with Luna. I’ve already been raving about this to anyone who will listen, and I can’t recommend his services enough!!

    Google Review: Had our first training today at home with two Jack Russell’s and a miniature dachshund. The techniques felt like they were genuinely helping and we have a few weeks of training to go but I am confident that this will be successful. I will post an update in a few weeks as we continue on with training.

    Thank you for the great review! I know you and Chris have what it takes to show your pack that you are alfa. It was so fun getting to meet you two today and your pups. Can’t wait to come back and see what has progressed.

    This training with Jared has given me the dog I've wanted and hoped for! My friends were skeptical at first about the higher cost of private training, but i work where i live so it was very important that my Rio be behaved in both areas.

    Rio had been adopted before and returned, so he had a few issues at first. He had lots of separation anxiety and barking. Jared gave me some important tools to use and slowly there is no more anxiety when I leave - no barking, even when left in the car as I do errands.
    We had a glitch at about 2 months. Rio had been housebroken and has a dog door for outside access. Suddenly he started urinating - seemingly willfully. That just about broke me truthfully. He's so smart and i was at a loss until i thought to call Jared again. He gave me the faith that we could overcome this occasional issue. We scheduled another in person visit and he gave me lots of tips! Strangely, it never happened again! I'm prepared for an occasional accident and know to keep calm, but it's been 3 weeks and I think we're in the clear.

    My one-year-old pit puppy still has some things to learn. Hes SUPER friendly and just wants to play with any dog he sees BUT i know if any issue arises in the future, I can depend on Jared to help me work it out. If it wasnt for the confidence he gave me about the urination issue, this might have had a very different and very sad ending.

    Thanks to Jared, i now have my companion for life. I could not be happier!

    Photo of Moo Wow - Gusty is truly an incredible trainer and we saw significant improvements in our dog's behavior after just 1 session. My husband was hesitant about Bark Busters since we have tried so many different techniques with moderate success. But after Gusty left our house, my husband said "That was AMAZING!". We have a 3 year old pitbull (Moo) who is super smart and trainable, but we struggle to redirect her barking when guests come over/people come in our yard, she jumps on guests, and she has some leash reactivity. Gusty immediately tuned into Moo's needs and established her role as a trainer - truly training my husband and I to better train/support our dog. Using the Bark Busters harness, Moo is walking right next to us and is much calmer on walks. She is also responding well to respecting the front door as a "no go zone" and relaxing after she's notified us that there is a visitor. I highly recommend Gusty - we wish we would have found her years ago!!
