    Holly and Bill completely transformed our dog, Spike! He had severe separation anxiety and would destroy everything in sight when left alone. After just one session, we noticed immediate improvements. They gave us the tools to manage his behavior and showed us how to communicate with him effectively. Spike is so much calmer now. Highly recommend their services!

    Thank you so much for the glowing review! We're thrilled to hear about the positive changes in Spike's behavior. It's wonderful to know that the training made such a difference. Separation anxiety can be really tough, so it's fantastic to hear that Spike is now calmer and more manageable. We’re so glad you found the tools and communication strategies helpful. Thank you again for recommending our services – it means a lot!

    We were referred to Jared by a friend who had amazing results with their dog. I swear, from his first visit, my dogs were trained! They were both very responsive to the communication techniques Jared taught us to use with them. He's very friendly, prompt and responsive to any questions we have regarding behavioral issues in between meetings. We would definitely recommend Jared/Bark Busters!

    Photo of Thunder & Tabasco Orlando helped us with establishing leadership with both our dogs and claiming areas and personal space. Looking forward to our next lesson in order to address additional issues.

    Bill and Holly are simply amazing! Our dog, Max, was having major behavior issues — barking excessively, pulling on the leash, and just being unmanageable. After just one session with Bill and Holly, we saw a HUGE difference. They gave us clear, effective strategies to work with Max, and we saw immediate improvements. They're patient, kind, and really know how to connect with dogs. Highly recommend Bark Busters and especially Bill and Holly!

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're so happy to hear that Max is doing better after just one session. It’s been a pleasure working with him, and we’re thrilled to see the progress he’s made. Your commitment to implementing the strategies we discussed is clearly paying off! Max is lucky to have such dedicated owners. We truly appreciate your kind words and are so glad we could help. If you need anything else or want to continue Max’s training journey, don’t hesitate to reach out. Thanks again for choosing Bark Busters!

    I'm honestly not sure why It's taken this long for me to write a review for Adam. Adam is a gentle giant and sooo good with pups! I've had 2 dogs y train with him and they've both really loved Adam. Adam is so knowledgeable about different problem areas (one of my dogs was reactive on leash and the other had separation anxiety). He knew how to work through both problems and is always quick to respond to my texts. Admittedly, I panic quite easily and always text Adam when I'm freaking out about my dog's behavior - he always calms me down and is very patient with me which I'm so grateful for. I would highly recommend Adam to anyone who is having issues with their pup - you'll leave with a great trainer and a great friend :)

    My family and I have a four month old miniature Australian Sheperd. She has a lot of energy and is pretty sweet overall. However, her nipping and play biting quickly became out of control. She also wasn't doing great on the leash, and it would take me a few minutes to put her halter/leash on every morning (usually one kid having to hold her in place) with a LOT of biting.

    Karen from Bark Busters came to our rescue. She brought us a new halter and taught us some new methods to get our dogs attention. It now takes me less then a minute to get her halter on (this halter is magic - I tried our old one and her behaviors all came back instantly). She is completely focused on me on our walks and comes when I call her.

    Karen is truly a dog whisperer, I am so thankful I decided to contact her. I can't believe how effective she is.

    Adam has been working with our schnauzer for over a year now and he has helped us completely turn around all of our dog's bad behaviors.

    Before hiring Adam, we couldn't leave our 1 year old dog home alone. We couldn't even close him into a separate room without him freaking out. Adam walked us through the steps we needed to take to make him comfortable with being alone and now we can leave him home for 8 hours without issue.

    We love that he is easy to reach for training tips or to help us brush up on the skills he has taught us. We could not have gotten our dog to where he is today without Adam, and we are eternally grateful for his expertise and guidance! Not to mention our pup is a big fan as well and will always try to give him kisses.

    I have been working with Adam Kravetz for several months and he's been incredible. My dog is 2.5 years old. He's half border collie, half Doberman and Husky. He's extremely protective inside the home. I wasn't able to have company over without a huge production (aggressive barking) and fear my dog would bite someone.

    My dog has seen lots of trainers since he was a puppy. They were able to get him to act politely outside the home. But I didn't have someone who helped me with his behavior inside the home until Adam.

    Within the first visit which Adam spent lots of time with us, he taught me exercises to do with my dog and had me practice several times while he was there. I would say after just the second session, there was a huge improvement in my dog's behavior around the home.

    Adam is so calm. He has taught me so much in how I interact with my dog . He focuses on my behavior and relationship with my dog. Adam has come over and done training with my elderly mom and my boyfriend so they learn how to best interact with my dog in my home. It has been a huge relief for me. I can't recommend Adam enough.

    Photo of Ruthie Mariah has been extremely helpful with our scared/shy pup! Our girl is so scared of men and has begun barking/growling at my husband. Mariah gave us a variety of strategies and practice exercises that have already made a huge difference in our lives. Our puppy already shows a noticeable difference and appears much happier!
