    Beverly had been really struggling with her dog responding to her. Today we addressed puppy management and potty training. We also addressed Jackson's overall behavior, he responded very well.

    Photo of Greg Our experience today was fantastic! Greg is new to our home, and we were looking for ways to help him better adjust to his new home and surroundings. I felt like Josh was reading my mind; his recommendations and insights were extremely helpful. We are very excited to see Greg's continued progress.

    Jenna and Tanner were great to work with today! Their new pup Greg has been struggling to adjust to his new home. Today we went over ways to acclimate him to his new home / environment. We also addressed his aggression in the home and leash manners, he responded very well!

    Trainer Note:
    Thor is a great dog; he has been needing more stimulation and exercise in his day today. That has led to frustration and reactivity on the walks. We also addressed his aggression in the home around new people. He responded very well. With Lizbeth being consistent he will continue to improve.

    Lexi is a very smart pup! She responded very well today during our first session. Now with her mom Kay being the leader and guiding Lexi she is behaving very well in the home! We worked on her leash manners and front door manners. We also addressed her overall behavior. Kay was very pleased with our results today!

    We had trained my dog Wendell as a 1 year old rescued puppy through Pet Smart, but that was not enough. I contacted Keith when Wendel was 3.5 and showed aggression towards certain people. We went for the lifetime plan because we knew we wanted to continue training when we eventually had a baby. Bark Busters methods are all about obedience training and don't rely on treats, which was very different compared to the methods we previously tried. We saw instant progress on day 1 in some areas, and other areas took time and continued practice. I bought the collar Keith recommended and it was a game changer for walks. After two years of working with Keith, we just brought home our baby girl, and we are pleasantly surprised by how calm Wendell is around her. Keith answers questions through phone or email if needed, and also comes back for sessions as needed. I highly recommended Keith!

    I really enjoyed meeting Cocoa today! She is a great little pup! We addressed all the puppy basics from potty training to socialization. I am really looking forward to her progress. I taught Eric today and gave him all the tools so he will be able to stay consistent.

    My brother and I recently became the proud owner of a doberman that was just under a year old, and unfortunately he was not well taken care of by his previous family, therefore he was in need of some serious training and attention. We reached out to Bark Busters after reading so many great reviews, and I can honestly tell you it was the best decision we have made! Jeff came to our home and met us and our dog DeSoto, and immediately started to explore what was going on and giving us amazing advice and tips. As well as the actual act of training, he supplied us with packets of information with more tips and eye opening information when it comes to a dog's behavior, and all of the tools we would need to be able to successfully do the training. After reading through everything and training ourselves to better our home experience training DeSoto, and now three complete training sessions with Jeff, to say I'm extremely satisfied does not do his work justice. Jeff has been able to walk us through every single "problem" we were having, and has been able to help us work out solutions to every single one! DeSoto is much happier with some structure in his life, as well as having the freedom to act like a dog! This has been life changing in the most positive way, and I absolutely recommend him to anyone and everyone!

    One session in the books with Robert and our puppy, Buster, is responding very well to the techniques that we learned. The approach is easy to follow and sustainable. Bark Busters is highly recommended!

    We had just adopted our rescue Bichon, Missy, only two weeks before calling Johnny @ Bark Busters. On his initial visit, he first took the time to get to know Missy and listen to what our issues were. We then went over each issue with Johnny and Missy, then on our own. We were surprised when our session went way over the estimated time, but Johnny understood what we needed to get through before he left us, and we did. We have seen tremendous improvement with Missy, and are almost to the point of scheduling our second session.
    We would recommend Bark Busters and especially Johnny Jumper for anyone who has a dog with issues, or needs behavioral work.
