    When I tell you how SHOCKED we are with how behaved our dogs are acting after ONE training session!

    Scot was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also very personable. After a meet and greet over Zoom, Scot comes to YOUR home where your dogs are most comfortable. We are so pleased with all of the training techniques he taught us and the dogs! Scot diligently answered all of our questions and made sure there were no gray areas.
    For some background, we have two dogs. One is almost a year old, and the other one has some aggressive behaviors towards her little brother. By the end of our first session, both dogs were sitting up on a beanbag together, sniffing and licking each other. Scot is truly a lifesaver and gives you all the tools you need to get through to your dogs.
    If you have dogs in need of training and don’t want to rely on treats for your dog to listen to you, Scot is your guy.
    All of Scot’s techniques are catered towards the dog. No fear, no physical, completely verbal and tapping in to the psychology of the dog.
    We are truly so pleased and are so excited to continue working with Scot through their lifetime guarantee.
    We are so thankful, thank you Scot!

    I was feeling a hopeless about my dogs behavior and had no idea how to correct it. Scott helped me understand my dogs language and how to communicate with him. He had me in tears seeing the progress my fur baby made within an hour! I am looking forward to a better relationship with my dog!

    Photo of Stella I was very happy with John. I did learn a lot about my dog. I bet that I will be much happier with my dog.

    Bark Busters has been such a great resource after relocating with our pets and needing to address some reactive behaviors with our dogs. The Bark Busters method has already shown great improvements with our blended cat & dog family! Having our Bark Busters trainer come to our house and see the behavior in context has been the missing piece! We are SO GLAD to continue working with Chris!

    Steve was fantastic. He came over to help us with Penny (5 years old - Beagle/Lab mix) and Gremlin (4 years old - Frenchie). Immediately, he was able to help them out with their sibling rivalry, barking, and walking.

    I would recommend Steve for anyone, even if the price may seem expensive; it’s definitely worth it.

    Photo of Bailey Like a different dog within Dan's first visit.

    Our beautiful mutt is almost 3 years of age. She is extremely loving, however we have always dealt with issues due to her high energy, like jumping very high when excited, wanting to kiss strangers, and overstimulation in general which leads to excessive pulling of her leash and loud barking. This program has dealt with it all. Dan is great at teaching you how to understand the dog vs. human thought processes, and why you need to be assertive/show control. We loved that this a torture-free, treat-free method of getting you dog to actually listen to you. From the first few hours in (less than 3) our pup started showing very different behaviors, like not launching herself after food that falls on the ground and understanding invisible boundaries. Dan is attentive and patient. He is willing to work at your own pace. Our pup seems more relax and calm after just 3 visits. She now listens and self-corrects her inappropriate behaviors. The only regret we have is not knowing and investing in this dog training program earlier, which would have saved us many headaches. Do yourself and your family a favor and call Dan. It is a life-changing decision that ultimately makes your everyday life dynamics and your pups' better, happier and healthier.

    Adrienne has been fantastic for our family. We have two dogs, one has been with us for 4 years as a puppy and I had a trainer help me early on during Covid lockdown for basic things, like sit and wait and for walking and barking. We still struggled with the walking and the barking over the years. And then we got another dog from rescue earlier this year and she is about 3 years old. She was scared to go on walks on a leash and she was a barker as well. And with both dogs combined the barking was getting out of control. I had another trainer come and work on things with both dogs but the training was all treat motivated which doesn’t always work. You don’t always have treats on you and you want the dogs to listen to commands and not because they’re going to get rewarded with food each time. I was not getting good results with the training and we were still struggling with the barking and the walks.
    I googled trainers that specialize in dog barking and that’s how I found Bark Busters. The first longer session we had with Adrienne, humans and dogs alike were exhausted but we amazed at the changes in just a few hours. (We unfortunately had a lot to work on! Lol) My skittish rescue was smiling, which we’d not seen her do in the months we’d had her. Adrienne’s approach is to train the humans in how to interact with our dogs in a way that leaves them feeling secure and safe and listening to our commands. Not the dogs running the show! We had never owned dogs before these two so it was a learning curve for sure, and I wished I had found Adrienne when we started but I’m grateful to have her as our trainer now. The changes in the dogs during our lessons has been full circle. And I am less stressed with them being at home with me all day while I work and they’re happier too. I was afraid to take them for walks because it was stressful for me with the tugging and the behaviors, but they are happy and learning every day now that I know how to approach it with them. I would highly recommend Adrienne to anyone that needs a great trainer!

    Photo of Kobe Our experience was very informative and educational. The trainer went over all of our concerns. He addressed the individual concerns as many times as we needed in order to understand the information.

    Photo of Skids I am blown away!!! My puppy Skids, was reacting to everything. He was going off with the doorbell, FedEx, squirrels, even my in-laws. He would sit there and bark at them and they couldn’t even get in the house. It’s been a few days since my lesson, and I have never had a more peaceful house. I highly recommend! What really sold me as they come right to my house and that was my concern I didn’t want to send my. Thank you so much!
