10/10 would recommend Ryan and his team. It’s very evident from our first lesson and follow up that he truly understands dogs and their behaviors in addition to their humans! We had a follow up with Ryan since our guard dog has been picking up a new behavior (barking and charging the fence when people walk by) and pulling on the leash. Ryan came out to us within the week and was able to help us get the behaviors back under control. We thought we were doing everything right and it turns out myself and husband were missing a crucial step in his training. Cowboy was more placating us instead of listening/respecting. With the help of Ryan, we are all back on track and doing great!

Pam was wonderful to work with during a really emotional time for our family. After our dog Oakley bit me on the 4th of July, Pam helped us understand Oakley’s behavior by explaining things in a way that was simple and easy to follow. She took the time to listen and was incredibly understanding of how upsetting the experience was for me.
PermalinkOakley loved her right away, which made the process feel even more reassuring. Pam showed us a few simple techniques that made an immediate difference, and we started seeing improvements right away. We’re so grateful for her patience, compassion, and expertise.
We would not hesitate to recommend Pam for any of your dog training needs. She's simply the BEST!!

We interviewed John Torres 2 times for an hour each time. What he said he could do seemed far fetched. His guarantee of success by the end of the first training was achieved. We are now the boss and he is our playful puppy! Thank you

Karen is awesome.
PermalinkThe lesson plans worked. I was surprised how quickly I was able to see the changes.
Over the last couple months my dog changed a lot.
The loud barking behind my head when on my computer. Fixed
Pulling and biting the leash on walks. Fixed
Chasing my cat, jumping on me, stealing the other animals food...etc
He is now the dog I wanted when I got him.
Thank you Karen!

We started with Johnny to help with our first dog, Elroy about 3 years ago. He was a 1 year rescue Pitbull with no leash manners, reactivity to people and dogs, and serious resource guarding. Our sessions with Johnny gave my wife and I confidence to know that Elroy was safe and able to work with and improve. Through the right guidance, training, and tools Elroy is now an amazing family dog who loves going hiking and enjoys going out almost anywhere with us. With much consulting with Johnny we decided Elroy was ready to bring another dog into our family, so about 7 months ago we added Apollo, a 2 month old Rottweiler. Johnny has continue to support us from introducing the dogs to each other, each stage of Apollo's puppy development, and now continued training and development for both dogs together. Johnny has been extremely supportive with any dog related questions and we love that he is able to help us with anything we want to add to our dogs skill set as well as encouraging us to try new things to enrich our dogs.

Patrick was really good. It took a few visits and some trial and error but he stuck with us and the pulling stoped. Nice nice person and very competent

Erin at Bark Busters is beyond amazing. Her knowledge and expertise are surpassed by NONE. I had a Rottweiler that would bolt out of her crate. Within 10 minutes, she was sitting and waiting for me to give her the release queue. Erin's accomplishments in 10 minutes are more than it took me forever to get trained. Erin also went over some problem areas. My dog again corrected very quickly, and this is because Erin has all the knowledge, patience, and expertise. I would highly recommend Erin with Bark Busters to anyone

We have difficult issues with our German Shepherd rescue - severe reactivity, anxiety, with some aggressive behaviors. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised how well Sage responded to the techniques Jeri showed us. Jeri was patient and kind and encouraged us to believe Sage can be a good dog. We have been using our training for less than 24 hours and she is already a different dog. We are very hopeful that this will change her behavior long-term. She can be a very sweet dog...when she isn't being bad! We very much appreciate the goal of getting rid of the chaos and bringing a peaceful environment back to our home through a simplified and positive training approach. Our two other dogs are relieved too! :- )

If you are considering hiring Johnny, look no further, I promise it will be the BEST DECISION you will ever make for you & your furry family member! We found Johnny looking for a dog trainer to work with our 2 German Shepherd rescues, in need of leash training due to their size/strength (90 lbs & 105 lbs) as well as in home obedience to improve their adoptability. After extensive research for a behavioral trainer with rescue dog experience, we hired Johnny based on his reviews alone! Johnny not disappoint, he far exceeded our expectations in training both GSDs, their foster parents & US! I can honestly say, with a decade of experience working with dog trainers, that Johnny is by far THE BEST! His extensive knowledge in dog psychology/ behavior & simple replicable training methods combined with his genuine love for dogs & his demeanor around them, Johnny possesses something TRULY SPECIAL that can NOT be taught. The dogs know it & seeing how they respond to his training techniques is like MAGIC happening! Our 2 GSDs both knew several commands prior to rescue, it was clear they would respond well to training but we did not expect them to light up when Johnny arrived! Both dogs completed their obedience checklist & our male GSD quickly became the King of "Place" always the 1st on his cot! Leash training to eliminate pulling was challenging at first due to their excitability of all new sights/smells as well as new found strength in recovery BUT with Johnny's persistence testing various handling gear the Figure 8 proved to the be solution. They responded so well to Johnny working with the Figure 8 lead, they were soon walking next to any handler at any pace fast or slow!! Plus, ultimately, for dog training to be successful, it is just as much training the humans to practice consistently after Johnny leaves as it is about training the dogs. That is where Johnny is in a league of his own... He is just as incredible at training the humans as the dogs! The foster mom, who has fostered close to 100 dogs & her husband were only involved with the family dogs & they had never worked with a dog trainer. After just 1 SESSION, the foster parents were not only believers in training BUT said it was life changing & are excited about practicing with ALL the dogs. The foster dad even talks about Johnny's training with everyone they know & now helps with all the foster dogs too! Our 2 GSDs are now adopted & thriving because of Johnny's training & their transferrable lifetime training contract. Johnny is now our #1 trainer of choice for all of our rescue pups. The PROOF of Johnny's professionalism & ability to connect/train both dogs & humans alike is evident in the success of our 2 rescue GSDs & their foster parents' transformation!

We can't say enough great things about working with Johnny Jumper from Bark Busters! After extensive research on dog trainers, we chose Bark Busters, and we are so happy we did, as our purebred English Lab and our Labradane both needed professional training. From the minute Johnny walked into our home on Day 1, our pups connected with him and responded incredibly well to his training methods. Johnny was calm, very professional, and exuded so much patience while working with our pups. He also provided excellent tips to address behavioral issues we hadn't considered on our own. We love that Johnny used positive reinforcement and clear guidance that helped me, my husband, and our pups feel more confident. Each session was educational and it was really encouraging to see the progress in each or our pups. After only two (2) sessions, our pups stay when told, they walk on a leash without pulling, and our English Lab is counter-surfing less and not jumping on family and friends near as much as before! We are continuing to implement all of the training that Johnny taught us and we know our pups will soon be the best dogs that we can take anywhere. We appreciate how communicative Johnny is as he checks in with us to see how the pups are doing, and he is also quick to respond to our text messages. For anyone looking for an experienced, patient, and effective trainer, we highly recommend Johnny Jumper at Bark Busters!
