    Photo of Maddie We had our first training with Bark Busters with Jordan and it was a very good experience. Of course, it is really training "humans" that is most important and I am pleased to say that it is still working and growing more effective with my rescue dog Maddie, a American Straffordshire Terrier mix (Pit Bull) She is loving, willful and we couldn't even begin to imagine managing her without the "growl." Jordan left to pursue other interests and we were blessed to have Patrick step in.
    Patrick came and was even more effective with his style and own interest himself in rehabbing rescue dogs, especially the ones that many people don't understand.
    Maddie immediately obeyed him ( I guess his growl was more effective ;-) and the kind and firm guidance helped us take her training to another level. He is available for continued work. I couldn't be more pleased with his training and for Bark Busters.
    I highly recommend Patrick and the way he trains and takes care of his clients; human and dogs.

    Wow, what a great story to hear. I love working with you two and Maddie! Rescue dogs are my favorite and fulfill my passion of helping those dogs left behind. Thank you for all you've done for Maddie, and being great dog owners.

    Photo of Coco I cannot say enough good things about Ryanne and Bark Busters! The training, support and guidance that Ryanne has provided for us and our dog Coco has truly changed our family! Our rescue dog Coco was struggling with her behavior when guests came over and encounters with other dogs, from the first session we saw immediate changes with Coco. We have a truly happier dog and everyone is beyond impressed with the changes. Ryanne is always willing to help and goes above and beyond - we cannot recommend Bark Busters enough!

    Chris with bark busters is helping us with our fearful pup. We’ve only had two lessons so far but have seen a lot of improvement with Hank. His most difficult behavior is his fear of outside and other dogs so Chris has been working with us to build Hank’s confidence and get him more comfortable walking in leash outside. We’re happy we found Bark Busters and Chris as he’s been so helpful and responsive to our concerns.

    Let me tell you about my sweet schnoodle, Greta. At 2 1/2, Greta was the terror of my townhome development. She barked at everyone - dogs, squirrels, birds, people - if it moved, she barked at it. Walking her was a nightmare. Greta was 20 pounds of out of control. In desperartion, I contacted Keith for help. As promised, after training session 1, Greta had calmed down - not perfect, but amazing progress. After three sessions, Greta walks on a loose leash fairly well and the (improved) barking and interaction with people and dogs has been remarkable. Even my neighbors have commented on the vast improvement. I encourage anyone with doggy behavior issues to give Keith and Bark Busters a call.

    Photo of Judd Susan was great I could not have asked for a better person to work with myself and Judd. She started fresh with a puppy and he has turned out to be the best dog, well mannered and an all around great dog. I am so happy I made the decision to use Bark Busters because of Susan.

    I followed all of the assignments and it paid off. Susan always made herself available and I can not say enough about her and her training skills.

    Photo of Alan Hughes Mark Renshaw saved my sweet Zena. We adopted Zena from a shelter. She is a Tree Walking Coonhound and we discovered pretty quickly that she was a barking, howling, neighbor infuriating two year old that would not listen to a thing. We also soon discovered that she could be reactive to new people, and a bit aggressive at times. The biggest problem was that she simply could not be controlled or reasoned with. We were on the verge of bringing her back to the shelter, but she is also sweet and very loving that we had to try something to keep her with us. Bark Busters was her last chance.
    Mark met with us and we started to work with Zena...the first meeting was a bit tenuous. Zena approached Mark with her usual aggressive bark and attitude. He took it in stride and started to train me and Zena on some of the techniques that would help her be less aggressive, reactive, and quell her attempts at being dominant. There was an amazing difference after that first training session. One of my neighbors said, "You'll have to pinch me, I'm dreaming, that can't be the same dog.", another thought that we had decided not to keep Zena. It has really a miracle turnaround. Zena is staying, and she is really the wonderful dog that we knew she could be, thanks to Bark Busters and Mark. We are still working with her every day, and it has been worth the time and cost of the training. Zena is an incredible Best Friend and family member who will be with us for years to come now. I can only say thank you to Mark for his patience, with me and Zena, and for all that he invested in us for this success.

    If you are looking for a dog trainer in the Columbus area, I highly recommend BarkBusters! We were assigned Noah, who I cannot recommend enough. The in home training is informative and actually works, and you can’t beat the lifetime guarantee. Well worth every penny!

    Photo of Bentley Our dog training was very informative. We learned about what we are doing wrong and what to do that is correct. We also learned that Bentley needs to know that he needs to listen to all the alphas.
