Bark Busters Reviews

We feel much more confident with Hamm's behavior. This was a great learning experience thanks.

Johnny has been working with our family for a little over a month and our Yuki has been progressing so quickly. Johnny is a fantastic teacher and will throughly explain the why, how, and when which is great help since I have zero knowledge on dog training. He is always available to answer my questions via text or phone. A month ago I used to see dogs off leash and they would recall their dog and they would come right back. I honestly didn't think that was possible for our little guy because he's so young but we've been able to recall him at the park today after working with Johnny yesterday. Its amazing and so fufilling to see my dog accomplish so much in such a short time. If you're looking for knowledgeable, patient, and kind and really an overall great guy. I highly recommend Johnny and fyi I did a whole lot of research before picking Bark Buster. I asked to speak to Johnny before committing to make sure he was the right fit for our family. He has been the best investment and I look forward to our sessions as Yuki grows into adulthood with the aspirations to become a therapy dog.

Choco was able to catch up on listening and adapting. The Bah technique and water spray show an improvement in him not running outside and how to react when someone knocks. Needs more practice when going on walks but overall picks up on the techniques.

One Month Later—Still Blown Away

I wanted to wait a full month before writing this because I didn’t want to get too excited too fast… but I can say now, without a doubt: Patrick and Bark Busters are absolutely incredible.

If you don’t read any further, just know this—Patrick is the real deal. His guidance and the Bark Busters method made a noticeable difference in our home right away. But—and this is important—you have to do the work. There’s no shortcut. It takes consistency, every day, every moment. But if you’re committed, the results are real.

We have two Labs—one’s 3 years old and the other was 8 months when we reached out for help. We thought the older one was well-behaved because he was “calm,” but in hindsight… maybe not so much. Meanwhile, the puppy was jumping, barking at the door, overwhelmed by visitors, and hadn’t even been introduced to our older dog yet.

Patrick showed up and within minutes he helped us start “speaking dog.” The transformation with our puppy was almost immediate. He gave us tools to lead with clarity—not by being harsh, but by setting limits and being consistent. By the time Patrick left, the energy in the house was completely different. The dogs were calmer, and we felt more in control.

And yes—there’s homework. Every day. But it’s doable. And Patrick is always just a call or text away if you need help.
A month later, things are better than we could have imagined. The dogs are now introduced, they play together, hang out calmly, and we’ve set real boundaries that make everyday life much more enjoyable. Just this week we even realized our “well-behaved” older dog may have been part of the problem all along—turns out we had some habits to break too. Patrick helped us see that, and now we’re working on recall and public behavior with both dogs.

Bottom line: if you’re struggling at all—whether it’s big issues or just small things that are adding up—call Patrick. The Bark Busters system works, and Patrick really knows what he’s doing. We're so grateful we made the call.
