    Photo of Tucker Joshua was knowledgeable, attentive, and eager to help us as much as our dog. We feel so much better about everything, and we are so grateful to have a plan that will help our whole family + Tucker included.

    Great training. I learned a bunch and already noticed a difference in the dogs. Time went by FAST. I cannot wait to practice and see the results!

    Photo of Bowie, Stevie, Ziggy We found James and Bark Busters after searching for training that didn’t rely on rewards. We got so much more! We have a 3-pack of happy chill hounds that coexist in ways in our home with our young kids we had only dreamed of. Through James’ and Bark Busters methods we have gotten to know our dogs more as who they are individually but more importantly how they function as a pack that we are part of. We had previously done traditional obedience training with two of the three dogs and it was lengthy, exhausting and just way too time consuming, resulting in commands that did not stand the test of time.

    Bark Busters method of behavioral training is transformative in a way that makes it natural for the dogs (and humans!) to follow and the results happened quickly for our pack by spending 10-15mins a day working with the dogs.

    We loved that the majority of the training took place in our home where the most correction was needed and then we built upon that work by adding some tweaks to our leash/walking techniques that really dialed everything in.

    Make the investment in your pet. James has a gift and will help build a relationship with your pups (or pack) you have been hoping for!

    Scott seems to know exactly how our puppy Hazel operates. She becomes a totally obedient girl with his methods, despite her crazy Lab puppy energy. The walking and leash training has helped us exponentially. I can walk Hazel myself without feeling like I can’t control her. Scott always comes with new ideas when I feel like Hazel isn’t responding to me. I am looking forward to watching all the progress she continues to make (because she still is a crazy lab puppy).

    Since our first session with Steven and with the homework exercises we’ve been doing consistently, we’ve been able to rebalance the leadership dynamics in our home and introduce much-needed structure and rules. The difference in Miki’s behavior has been remarkable—he is so much calmer and more responsive.

    What we appreciate most is that this training is done entirely out of love and focuses on canine communication rather than a punishment/reward system. It has helped us better understand Miki’s needs and how to guide him in a way that makes him feel secure and balanced.

    This training is truly beneficial for anyone willing to put in the work. Consistency with the exercises is key, but it is absolutely worth it. We feel like we have a new dog, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend Steven!

    Google Review: Sarah is awesome!!!! I learned so much from her after only the first session. After only two days, Sadie is already learning what she is and is not supposed to do.

    Photo of Moose Our dog Moose is a one year old Golden Retriever who loves to put his nose down to the ground dragging us behind on the leash. He also loves to meet people to the point that he's so overexcited that he's hard to handle. After just a couple sessions with Omar, Moose now heels on the leash and we are learning techniques to help settle him down so everyone involved has a better experience meeting, including Moose. Walking our dog is finally a fun experience! Omar is very patient, communicates clearly, and takes time to answer our many questions. He's available between sessions for questions/advice, provides supplemental training videos, and even just checks in with us. We are so impressed with the quick progress we are making and are excited to keep working with Omar on more skills. Thank you, Omar!!

    Omar helped us with a barking problem with our Cavalier, and it was so amazing! He spent the time to teach me and my family how to work with her natural instincts, and I’m so grateful! I would definitely recommend!

    Photo of Phoebe In one visit, we have experienced a complete transformation. Thank you, James. I'm not sure what we're going to talk about next visit. Maybe we can figure out what is wrong with the cat? 😂
