    Photo of Kea After getting our 2 month-old Belgian Malinois, we noticed some aggressive behaviors form her including biting. It got to the point where I had to lock myself in my room a few times to get away from her. My husband and I decided she needed more training than just a class at Petsmart, and searched on multiple review sites. This is what brought us to Justin and Bark Busters. After the first session with Justin my husband and I noticed an extreme difference in our dog Kea. She was responding to our commands, and was starting to develop respect for me. This is exactly what we were hoping to get out of training, more than just a dog who can sit when told, but a dog who has respect for us. Within a few months of training, she learned the sit, stay, come, and "go to your kennel" command, along with near perfect walking behavior. As well she no longer cries or barks when we leaver her in her kennel. Not only are we extremely proud of our dog, receiving compliments every time we are in public, Justin is a great trainer to work with. He was on time, answered our phone calls or responded to our messages in a prompt manner, and stayed the duration of the hour we had with him. He also seemed to show great care and compassion for our dog which showed us he really loves his job. We would, and have, recommend Justin to any of our friends and family for whatever type of dog someone is looking at seeking training or help for.

    The training techniques were easy to understand and once I actually followed the techniques a few times it started coming naturally. Bark Busters techniques work for me because I am not a fan of shock or pinch collars and I like not having to use treats either. My dog has responded beautifully and I don't have to worry about her when I leave anymore. I have seen such wonderful results that I would definitely recommend Bark Busters to anyone.

    Trainer Note:
    Jaden was very nervous meeting new people - hackles up, and some really fierce barking when I first arrived. Now she just sits calmly and watches Amberly answer the door. It's nice to see how much more Jaden trusts her owner. Good work - both of you!

    Brian gave me the best explanation of the why's/how's I've ever heard! Sparky's response to the techniques was amazing! There was so much I didn't know! Brian made the experience fun, insightful and effective. I never understood why dogs do what they do - now I have a deeper understanding!

    Ciara and Dave had two very rambunctious Boxers and Ciara was due in 6 weeks. They were worried about the dogs accidentally injuring the baby. We had a lot to accomplish in a short period of time! Ciara & Dave were great students and the dogs responded quickly.

    I am a veterinarian at Lookout Mountain Animal Hospital in Golden, CO. Brian was great! I'm looking forward to more lessons and furthering our relationship with Brian and Bark Busters.

    I work at Kipling Veterinary Hospital. It was really a pleasure and a surprise learning how simple a dog sees things, especially after learning how complex their minds can be. I am really impressed with the knowledge I was given and look forward to further tools to teach my dog.

    By the end of the first week we felt like we almost had a new dog. Methods were very easy to learn & maintain and much more effective than any other techniques we've tried. We noticed a significant change (positive) in our dog right away, love that we can call / email with any questions or concerns in between lessons.
