    Photo of Dani We have had one session with Deb, but she has been so great and Dani is responding very well to the homework that she gave us. I have texted Deb with a few questions before our next appointment, and she always responds in a timely manner with helpful, thorough answers! I love the approach that Bark Busters takes on helping people understand their dogs behaviors, and would recommend this service!

    Photo of Biscuit & Mannie Working with Bark Busters has been an absolutely top-notch experience from start to finish. Scheduling was easy and they took the time to truly understand our needs before we even began. When James arrived for our first session, he came fully prepared and immediately demonstrated a clear understanding of the behaviors we wanted to improve. The trainer's (James and Michelle) are also the owners of the company and it shows!

    Within the first 30 minutes, James gave us practical tools to address barking and over-excitement when visitors come over. Both of our dogs needed different types of support, and he was able to tailor the training in a way that never felt overwhelming. We noticed improvements after every single session.

    Our dog Biscuit, who used to bark excessively and pull whenever we passed people or other dogs, can now walk calmly past them without reacting. This alone has made our daily walks so much easier and so much more enjoyable.

    Hands down, this has been the best investment we’ve made for our dogs. We can’t say enough good things about James and Michelle and have already recommended Bark Busters to several friends. Highly, highly recommend!

    Photo of Willow A Training Program That Truly Follows the Dog - Exceptional Transferable Guarantee!
    My husband Jim and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bark Busters! We fostered Willow, a Labradoodle, intending to find him a forever home, but we completely "failed" at fostering and fell in love with him. Willow's previous owner had invested in Bark Busters Gold Service training before we adopted him.
    As a disabled Veteran, Jim has found Willow to be an incredible mental health support, and we wanted to ensure we continued his training properly.

    A Guarantee That Truly Puts Dogs First:
    What truly sets Bark Busters apart is their remarkable Life of Dog Support Guarantee, which is transferable when a dog is re-homed! For a one-time transfer fee of $300, we gained access to professional training support for Willow's entire life - no additional charges, regardless of what behavioral issues arise.
    This transferable guarantee demonstrates Bark Busters' genuine commitment to the dogs they train, not just their clients. They understand dogs may change homes and built a system ensuring those dogs receive lifelong support. This is virtually unheard of in the dog training industry!

    Seamless Support:
    We contacted Bark Busters to learn about Willow's training, and they made the transfer process incredibly smooth. Their focus was clearly on Willow's wellbeing and ensuring continuity in his care. They taught us the Bark Busters method - natural dog communication using body language and voice control that Willow already understood. No treats, no harsh corrections, no complicated equipment.

    The Results:
    Thanks to their transferable guarantee and guidance, we've maintained Willow's excellent behavior and strengthened our bond tremendously. The relationship between Jim and Willow has flourished, making an incredible difference in Jim's daily life and wellbeing.

    Lifetime Peace of Mind:
    We can contact our certified trainer anytime new issues arise - for Willow's entire life. As he grows and faces new challenges, we have peace of mind knowing professional help is available. Even if we relocate, the guarantee moves with us!

    Our Recommendation:
    If you're struggling with dog behavior issues, we wholeheartedly recommend Bark Busters. They work with any breed, age, and issue. Their trainers are knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in helping families.
    Most impressive: their Life of Dog Support Guarantee is transferable when a dog finds a new home. That forward-thinking policy shows incredible integrity and true commitment to every dog they train. It's a game-changer for rescue or adopted dogs.
    Willow is a well-behaved, happy companion, and thanks to Bark Busters' transferable lifetime guarantee, we have confidence and support to continue his success. We're so grateful for their innovative approach ensuring every dog receives lifelong support, regardless of circumstances!

    Amanda is an excellent trainer. She really helps you understand why your dog may be behaving the way they are and helps you with solutions that are achievable and effective to resolve your dogs behavioral problems. You’ll see results at your first lesson. If you’re looking for help with behavioral issues with your dog Amanda and Bark Busters can help. I highly recommend. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    We had such a wonderful experience with Bark Busters and our trainer, Jared! As first-time dog owners, we were feeling overwhelmed and unsure about how to effectively communicate with our pup. Jared completely changed that. He taught us how to understand and work with our dog in a way that felt natural and frustration-free.

    Jared was always punctual, professional, and incredibly easy to communicate with. He made sure all our questions were answered--no matter how small--and took the time to explain things clearly and patiently. It's so obvious how much he genuinely cares, not just about the dogs, but about their humans too.

    If you're a new dog owner or just looking for a trainer who truly gets it, we can't recommend Jared and Bark Busters enough. He's kind, hardworking, and a total lifesaver. Thank you, Jared!

    Sharon was truly a dog whisperer. She gave clear instructions to my elderly parent and the puppy has responded beautifully! After just one visit, we had so much more control even though he is a medium/large dog. Less pulling, jumping up on people, counter, surfing, and attention demanding. Then, when we needed some reminders and reinforcement, Sharon responded promptly and came right back to fill in the blanks that we had forgotten. I would highly recommend Sharon and Bark Busters!

    I wish we had found Sharon when Thor was a puppy! We have a 6-year-old Australian Cattle Dog named Thor and he lives up to all the classic traits of a Heeler. He was constantly alert and on edge. He is triggered by movement. We had issues with him being reactive, chasing cars and barking at other dogs. We tried a “treat” based trainer, and while he learned a lot of tricks, it did not solve our dog's behavioral issues. Now I have ditched the treat bag and am relating to him on an instinctual level. It has made such a significant difference. He is so much calmer and even more affectionate. Sharon has taught us great behavioral techniques. She has been available anytime we needed more reinforcement and real settings with real dogs.
