    Photo of Geena Rachel and Betty Lou are godsends. I was really worried that we’d never get a handle on Geena’s pack leader mentality, but these ladies trained us how to let Geena know we are the Alphas and she doesn’t have to protect us 24/7. She’s already more relaxed and she’s responding very well to us now that we are learning to speak dog!! Here she is, tired out from our training session?

    I just finished my initial training session with Luis. I have 5 dogs in my house and my main issues are 2 things, 1 is that when ever there is someone at the door, our boys go nuts barking and running at the door wanting to jump all over our guest before we can even say hello to them and the second thing is that I can no longer take my dogs out for a walk or run because they have become impossible to walk together, they will pull me to the point that I can’t handle them because they pull me to the ground that’s how strong they are.
    Well, with our first session we practiced ringing the doorbell and having guest walk in, after the second exercise, the boys did not run to the door or barked at the door, instead they stayed completely away and so I was able to greet my guest and have them come in with no dogs jumping all over them.
    My second issue of walking the boys together, we did some exercises of walking them together in my backyard around the pool and they seemed to do great, now the real test will come after I’m done doing this for 10 days, then I get to take them out on the street and see how they behave.
    I truly believe in his program, I believe it’s very effective and will work as long as I am consistent with the training and follow all his instructions.
    I can honestly say, I would recommend Luis to anyone that has a dog and wants to have the best relationship with them and not a frustrating one.

    Photo of Bear Joshua was very informative and patient throughout our session. Our dog Bear showed a great improvement in his behavior after just the first session. We look forward to continuing his training and correcting his behavior, so he is happy and less anxious.

    Trainer Note:
    Really great session with Bear today. We saw a complete 180 in his behavior and aggression with his owners. They had been struggling just to leave their home, but today was the first day they were able to leave with no issues. Jamie was very pleased and now she has the tools continue improving his behavior.

    Photo of Bark Busters has helped immensely with our two reactive rescue dogs!

    Even after the first training session, our 3 year-old dog showed marked improvement. For example, when I took him on a walk the night after the first training, we encountered a neighbor dog—in the past they would lunge and bark at each other. With the techniques learned, our dog remained calm walking past the other dog who was lunging and barking from across the street. It felt like we were on another planet—it was so different from past experiences and a relief! Our other dog is a 6 month old puppy and has also responded well to the training. It’s been great to instill good habits early on.

    Ryanne has continued to refine our training and troubleshoot issues that arise. She even brought her dog and training partner Omar to further address specific concerns.

    We have learned a lot. The Bark Buster training has been more effective than any class that we tried in the past. I especially like that it does not depend on treats and is focused on better understanding dogs and establishing respect as a leader of the pack.

    As a result, we have very happy dogs and humans in our home. It definitely has been worth the investment!

    Photo of Leya Robert truly made us feel comfortable and confident when we went through the session. He was extremely patient knowledgeable and provided us with strategies that worked immediately. We are thankful and hopeful in becoming the leaders!

    Photo of Apollo We had success with Apollo from the moment Robert walked in. We understand more about leadership habits and being assertive. Green zone is the goal! Leash walk outside was good training, too.

    Thank you for trusting me and being such great students. Apollo is a sweet and hard-headed puppy but very smart. So I have no doubt that he will test you but, ultimately, we be a great pup.

    Photo of Maizie No nonsense. Straight forward, I must be the leader and show and guide her in certain and consistent terms.

    Our session today was great! Maizie responded very well. She went from barking and spinning on leash when she would see another dog to calmy walking by! Margaret was very pleased with our session today. Now she can continue to reinforce the proper behaviors.

    Kaycee responded very well to our training methods and so did his sister Bella. We addressed a lot of the puppy basics and created a plan for the future. We also covered building the confidence of Bella. They are really great dogs, and I am looking forward to their progress.

    Thor listened so quickly, almost made a liar out of me about his naughty behavior. Fantastic training advice, highly recommend!
