    It only took day 1 to see a difference in our dogs. Patrick is the real deal. If you have been feeling lost or resentful towards your dogs like I have I strongly suggest Patrick with Bark Busters!

    Photo of Laney James has helped me become a happy dog owner and my fur baby, Laney, a happier and calmer dog. Laney is a shelter rescue. When I first adopted her, she had no connection to the person on the other end of the leash. Pulling wasn’t the only issue; she was highly reactive around other dogs. I'm a shelter volunteer and had walked her numerous times and she never reacted around other dogs. But after a couple weeks of having her, that changed. It got so bad I dreaded walking her. I watched dog training videos online, read a Cesar Milan book and not much changed. What I liked about Bark Busters is that they work with you and your dog. So many places want you to hand over your dog for training. That made zero sense to me. James’ training methods are thoughtful and kind. And he respects an owner’s dog-training desires and the dog’s personality. What I learned about dogs and training from him is invaluable. What Laney has learned is that she can walk right by my side, enjoy her walks, and feel safe.

    2 sessions in and so far so good, no miracle fixes as it does take time to complete the big picture (but we feel happy and are having fun with the progress) and it should be noted the method is to train the humans to lead. It is very interesting and eye opening when you start to realize how much you inadvertently allow your pooch to lead.
    Our trainer is Erin Miller and she seems very passionate and knowledgeable, a person that seems to want to know each clients individual needs and is very easy to work with.

    Moose and I had our first training session with Bonnie she was wonderful! Moose still needs a lot of work, but I am hopeful that the more work we do with Bonnie, and the more comfortable he becomes with our new home that he will be much calmer and happier. Thank you Bonnie!

    Johnny Jumper was awesome and definitely made a difference in my sweet angelic dog Enzo just after the first session 😃♥️ He was clear in the fact that it’s a joint effort and I have a job to do as well. Consistency is key! I highly suggest Johnny Jumper! 😃

    I am truly amazed at the immediate and significant difference in my two dogs behavior after one afternoon of working with Kayla Corey. We live on a very busy street and the barking at passers by was constant, jumping on visitors and over all not following commands for safe play and walking were a real daily struggle. After one day I went from having no control to feeling confident I can manage any situation with my dogs and the barking is 80 percent less. The dogs are more relaxed and seem to really enjoy doing the training with me. I had tried classes and watched a thousand videos but none of that worked for us. This was absolutely an expense but worth the investment, my only regret is not doing this sooner. I’m very grateful to Kayla at Barkbusters, and love that there was no punishment, scare tactics, food bribery, or crating involved, just positive, smart, clear communication. It’s a brilliant program!

    Photo of Scout Joshua was a fantastic trainer. He explained the basis for all training exercises, walked us through them and then with our dog showed us how to use them. We could see improvement in our dog by the end of our session.

    Photo of Marley/Rigby/Rocky The understanding of how our dogs work and how simple techniques can help us. We learned to correct the barking+ demanding for food!
