    We can’t thank Bark Busters and Larry Rudginsky enough for our now well-behaved dog. We were desperate and needed immediate help for our then10-month-old mini-Aussie due to inappropriate barking at neighborhood dogs who barked uncontrollably all day long. We were also unable to take Kiwi out of our driveway or walk him on the street because of his behavior of herding and lunging at cars. We are amazed at Kiwi’s transformation! Training in our home environment was necessary since Kiwi’s previous training was not able to address the difficulties we faced. After several training visits teaching us how to be effective dog parents as well as the skills to employ during problem behaviors, we now have a well-trained dog who is a joy to be around. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to use Bark Busters and Larry. We highly recommend both Larry and Bark Busters, if you want to end your dogs problem behavior for good.

    Photo of Georgia / Stitch Joshua was amazing with both dogs and catering to their individual needs. We were able to see a noticeable difference in the first session and gave us the tools to use at home every day.

    Georgia is a great puppy and soon to be a great dog. We setup a plan for her future and addressed some of the basics today. Stitch has been really struggling with aggression in the home and with people in the back yard. We were able to reach a calm state. They are great dogs, and I am really looking forward to the progress they make.

    I was reserved weather or not out issues (barking and aggression) could be dealt with but already saw improvement on our dogs straight away. I feel confident our dogs and us will grow a stronger bond now.

    Oliver is a really great dog and has found himself a new home. Due to all the change in his life, he has been struggling with separation anxiety. Today we started him on a path to be calm and relaxed by himself. I am really looking forward to his progress and watching him grow.

    Photo of Scout Robert was extremely helpful addressing all my concerns with Scout. I saw improvements with him immediately. He left me with clear instructions on how to get Scout on a good schedule and better behavior. Robert was very professional and I would definitely recommend his service to others!

    Photo of Bark Busters has helped immensely with our two reactive rescue dogs!

    Even after the first training session, our 3 year-old dog showed marked improvement. For example, when I took him on a walk the night after the first training, we encountered a neighbor dog—in the past they would lunge and bark at each other. With the techniques learned, our dog remained calm walking past the other dog who was lunging and barking from across the street. It felt like we were on another planet—it was so different from past experiences and a relief! Our other dog is a 6 month old puppy and has also responded well to the training. It’s been great to instill good habits early on.

    Ryanne has continued to refine our training and troubleshoot issues that arise. She even brought her dog and training partner Omar to further address specific concerns.

    We have learned a lot. The Bark Buster training has been more effective than any class that we tried in the past. I especially like that it does not depend on treats and is focused on better understanding dogs and establishing respect as a leader of the pack.

    As a result, we have very happy dogs and humans in our home. It definitely has been worth the investment!
