Bark Busters Reviews

My husband and I got our boy, Gumbo, back in 2022. We realized quite quickly that we needed some help figuring out how to best "train/parent" him. We were looking for someone who could be there with us throughout Gumbo's life journey and could be a reliable, consistent, person for us to count on when we had questions and someone who knew him well enough to know exactly what he was needing. Yep, pretty tall order to fill. Fortunately, Bark Busters connected us with Kevin and WOW, have we gotten what we were promised and then some!!

Kevin astutely noted that some of our initial challenges were due to us wanting to do things the right way and in turn, putting a lot of pressure of Gumbo to know what to do without us providing him the clear consistently and confidence he needed from his pack leaders. Kevin applied a well proven method to training that was rooted in helping us build the strongest relationship we could with Gumbo. We learned how to navigate having guests over, reactivity to the door bell and other loud sounds, managing anxiety related to fireworks, building healthy "social skills" with other dogs/humans, improving "walking etiquette" and leash control, and developing a clear way of communicating with Gumbo. Our pup leaves the sessions with Kevin both exhausted and relaxed -- knowing that he and his parents are even more connected now! We owe so much to Kevin, who has truly been a lifesaver for us and has made it possible for Gumbo to live an incredibly rich life now.

For anyone considering the service, do it. It's worth every penny. Thank you so much Kevin and Bark Busters!

We are very happy with Mariah’s approach to training our dog some of the most basic obedience. It is more geared toward training us the owner on how to train our dog which is a far better way in my opinion than leaving her in a place to be trained away from her home. Mariah is very knowledgable, friendly and will create a training regime tailored perfectly to the dog and family.

I have three dogs, and I thought I had a decent handle on training, but I was completely outnumbered! My oldest, an 11-year-old, barks excessively, and I honestly didn’t think anything could help. I had tried trainers and every gadget imaginable with no success. My puppy has had multiple surgeries and health issues, so she wasn’t properly socialized or trained, and with her medications, I often wasn’t even sure what she could understand. My third dog is generally well-behaved but can be aggressive toward the other two. I expected training to take months with gradual progress, because a lifetime of dogs and experience with past dog trainers always took so much time and effort. But I was shocked to see positive results with Bark Busters within the first 24 hours. My barker has quieted significantly, my young dog responded almost immediately, and I now have far more control over all three, which has greatly reduced aggression in the household. And we haven’t even had our second in-person session yet! The Bark Busters team is knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly effective. If you rescue a dog or just want to invest in their happiness and your peace of mind, do yourself a favor and work with Bark Busters. I’m thrilled with the results so far and can’t wait to see even more progress as we continue training. Erin and her team is knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly gets results. It’s already proven so well worth it!!!!
