    My dog Luna was a mess. In fact, I thought about rehoming her until my lesson with Jef. He is like a dog whisperer, because Luna and I had been to group classes before and it didn't stick. The method Jef taught me makes sense because it is based on the way dogs naturally communicate. I like it because it doesn't involve shock or prong collars. Or treats. Most importantly, I saw immediate results. It does take consistency on your part, but that's easy. It helped with Luna's incessant barking, leash reactivity and horrible door manners. I would recommend Jef to anyone.

    Kendra Tycocki has been a tremendous help in getting our newest addition in line with the pack! We are a household of three people and three dogs. We reached out to Bark Busters because our newly adopted young female, was a little more challenging to train than my experience allowed for. Bark Buster's offers a lifetime program which is truly unique because new problems can crop up down the line - this just seemed like the right path to take. When Kendra came into our home, the tone was different immediately. Our female took notice and paid attention. From the very first lesson, our female stopped jumping and we got the tools to put in place that day. As promised, if practiced, we'd see a real difference - so true! Our friends have seen the difference and have commented on how much calmer our girl is. No more jumping, or excessive excitability. Just a happy-go-lucky pup that is enjoyable to be around. This is all without harsh punishments: just following the natural rhythm of the pack, by putting the people at the top, thus creating a natural hierarchy which makes life so much simpler for everyone! Thank you Kendra!!! The Kearl Pack :)

    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.

    Trainer Note:
    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.

    Scot's visit was unbelievable! We greatly appreciate his positive input and peace that he brought into our household just on his first visit! Our Dawson, a miniature poodle will no longer be the ALPHA and is already starting to understand that he no longer makes the decisions! Scot's enthusiasm and positive energy was really calming for us and his knowledge of dog behaviors really showed that he knew what he was talking about! We couldn't believe that within the first 15 minutes or so of his first visit Dawson was already a changed dog! I know for some that may seem unbelievable, and I assure you that I am not getting anything in return for writing a good review! I myself was skeptical, wondering if this would really work and how long it would take to see a change and I am amazed that he has already changed within the first visit! As a dog owner I did not want my dog to be trained elsewhere besides in my home which is Dawson's natural environment, and Bark Buster's provided that for me and then some! I cannot say enough about Scot's POSITIVE ENERGY! Just his presence and personality was already a great selling point but then add his knowledge, enthusiasm and advice! He was very down to earth and respectful and made sure we understood his directions and the reasons behind his training techniques! He also assured us not to get overwhelmed or worry about making mistakes because everything takes practice! I can assure you that when you make the decision to seek help from Scot you will not regret it!

    Photo of Axel & Cam I met with Deb for the first time today, and was beyond impressed! My boy has shown reactiveness, separation anxiety, and food aggression for 8ish months now. I had tried everything I could think of. I could see a difference in my boys behavior before we even started actually working with him, and continue to see improvements in his behavior as the night goes on. I am so thankful for Debs help!

    Photo of Oliver It was an absolute great experience working with Joshua today. We saw major improvement in our pup and now have direction to train him. We are confident with applying all his techniques for a well-trained dog. Thank you!

    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 Geena Rachel and Betty Lou are godsends. I was really worried that we’d never get a handle on Geena’s pack leader mentality, but these ladies trained us how to let Geena know we are the Alphas and she doesn’t have to protect us 24/7. She’s already more relaxed and she’s responding very well to us now that we are learning to speak dog!! Here she is, tired out from our training session?
