    Photo of Georgie Within minutes of John entering, my heart was at ease. I knew I was in good hands. Georgie immediately listened. The transformation was nothing but amazing. I would highly recommend Bark Busters. I truly believe this is life changing for both of us! John was amazing!

    DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR PUP!
    Allow Jenna and Justin to guide, advise, and encourage you to give your pup the best life.
    I first met Jenna in February 2022. At this time, I was waving a flag of surrender. Anaya, my Doberman, American Staffordshire terrier, and Rottweiler mix, would bark uncontrollably. There were times when she would pull me with all of her strength. She would come off as an aggressive dog, and truthfully I was scared she would hurt another person or dog. I was a first-time dog owner. I did not know what to do!
    I met other dog trainers before falling upon Bark Busters. Something different about them as dog trainers is that they learned my dog's personality and worked around what worked best for her. Another thing I appreciated was that they informed me WHY my dog would behave the way she did.
    From my experience, my dog had needs that I did not know how to meet. Ultimately they helped me understand my dog better and helped me build trust with Anaya.
    Today Anaya can befriend other dogs, appropriately welcome guests into our home, walk on a leash correctly, and more. Something that gives me confidence is that if by chance we backslide, I know Jenna is a phone call away.

    We were so impressed with Scott’s advice and our training session. I practiced alone today and we are making progress with his easy training guidelines. It is worth the money to get a private trainer. They see your issues inside your home where your pup lives. Best investment I ever made in training my 11 month old Bernedoodle.

    I had a wonderful experience with Ben from Bark Busters. In one visit, we learned some simple techniques to discourage our dog’s unwanted and aggressive behaviors. Ben took the time to explain dog psychology as well as a dog’s barking, growling and body language. Simple instructions that have made a huge difference in re-establishing control and assuaging an anxious dog.

    Photo of Bear We are so pleased with the level of instruction and training we received and the tools we were given to be able to train our dog. We saw immediate results and are so hopeful once again that we will be able to have control of our space.

    You all did so well on your first lesson. I could tell Bear was so happy to have you both be the leaders of the home, taking that load off his shoulders. Keep up the good work!

    This was a big decision for us and definitely the right one! We've had our first meeting with Bonnie and were very impressed by her wealth of knowledge, warm and caring personality, patience and encouragement. Mokka Molly is our fifth English Springer and this was the first time we needed a trainer. She was nine months old when we got her. We reached out to Bonnie and Bark Busters for help with separation anxiety, jumping, loose leash walking and puppy management. From the moment we met Bonnie, we were so comfortable with her and Mokka Molly was too! That’s so important. Bonnie patiently listened to our concerns and questions. We are grateful and extremely satisfied with the solutions she has offered, how to follow through and are definitely set up for success with Mokka Molly. We are working daily with our darling girl, following the training plan Bonnie outlined and already seeing great results. Bonnie and the Bark Busters method are the very best!

    Justin is not a dog trainer. He is a literal dog (and lets be honest, human) behavioral therapist. We reached out to Bark Busters when our now 11 month old Dogo Argentino puppy started showing sings of anxiety driven aggression towards other dogs. Our lives became extremely high stress. It was impossible to walk her, or even have the windows open in our home without her aggressively barking at other dogs. After ONE session with Justin, she is a completely different dog. Walks are calm and easy, and we get to see the sun in our home again. Unlike other trainers, he doesn't train the dog, he gave us the tools to train her. So when he left, we were able to use the tools he gave us to continue training.

    He is also extremely friendly and responsive. Within a week of our first training session he reached out to us to check in. We explained a small issue we were having and he came over a few days later to help us out.

    He has restored peace to our home and we can happily love on our baby girl again. I cannot stress enough that Bark Busters is worth every penny.

    Trainer Note:
    Really great session today working with Charlie on his reactivity in and outside of the home. We addressed his door manners and also his barking at animals on tv. Karla was very pleased with how he responded and his happy to have the tools she needs to be successful.
