    Photo of Skip / Fitz Josh was fantastic with explaining and giving us insight into our dog's mind. We immediately saw major improvement and wish we started this years ago. Thanks Josh and BarkBusters.

    Really great session today! Skip had been showing signs of aggression with children and specifically Cassidys son. We addressed his aggression and also his overall behavior. We also addressed Fitz's barking and demanding behavior.

    Wow, what an amazing difference. I had adopted a one year old Aki-poo named Nylah who was literally out of control. I was actually worried she could not be trained. However our training session with Ben was very successful and Nylah reacted very well. We also received some really great nutritional advice and training trips. I just can’t believe how Nylah’s behavior successfully changed so drastically with their training techniques. I’m really impressed and a great investment.

    We recently started working with Josh for both our dogs: a 10-year-old dog, Paisley, and a 12-year-old dog, Bailey.

    Bailey struggled with aggression issues, which have worsened over time. With two young toddlers at home, this was terrifying. Paisley has had problems with anxiousness and separation anxiety. She also started having accidents inside the house, which was becoming a real issue for us.

    Josh helped us meet both dogs' core needs, such as the right type of food, leadership, and interactions. He was patient and understanding, taking the time to answer all of our questions and teach us techniques to use at home. His background as a former teacher was incredibly helpful. He made concepts stick in our minds by relating them to simple, memorable classroom examples.

    We were really impressed with Josh's approach to working with Bailey's aggression. He didn't use any harsh methods. He immediately helped us correct Bailey's behavior, where he kept barking and jumping up to steal our toddlers' food. Thanks to Josh's guidance, Bailey's behavior has improved significantly...instantly...almost magically.

    We HIGHLY recommend Josh as a dog trainer. He is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about the well-being of the dogs he works with. We are grateful for the progress we've made with both Bailey and Paisley, and we look forward to continuing our work with Josh in the future.

    Photo of Butters and Leo We were amazed at how much we have learned after the initial lesson. And after just 1 day, we can tell a difference with the new techniques we have learned.

    Really great session today working with Nala and Walter. We addressed their barking, aggression, leash manner, and door manners. They responded very well during our session and will continue to excel with consistency.

    Daffy has been really struggling with barking at sounds, noises, and at people around the home. Today we addressed these issues, and she responded very well! I am looking forward to her progress in the coming weeks.

    Evan is so great to work with and truly helped us with our pup. His patience and compassion helped greatly with our dog and we are truly grateful we found him and his training! We would recommend him to anyone having troubles with their furbaby’s!

    Gusty was amazing! We were struggling with leash reactivity, aggressive behavior in public around both people and dogs, and pulling on leash. In the first session she knew exactly how to work with my dog. She was careful about approaching the dog and nonjudgmental about the aggression my dog showed her. She talked me through how to work with her and the Bark Busters system and gave us a harness to help with the pulling. We saw significant improvement from the first session, the leash pulling is completely gone and her reactivity is much better and will continue to improve as we interact more with social crowds. I was so impressed with the results after one session.
    You can tell Gusty really wants to help the pups she works with!
