    Mariah is wonderful with our dogs. She makes things easy to understand, listens to all our struggles and is always quick to fit us in when we need her!

    I highly recommend Jared! I've been working with him for about two months now, I think we've had four or five sessions, and my dog has made huge improvements.

    One of my neighbors even said 'wow, it's like he's a different dog!', and I was able to host a small party at home without having to worry about him bulldozing everyone when they walked in the door.

    I have a 75lb, three-year old dog, and the specific issues we were looking for help with were:
    - pulling on leash
    - jumping on people to say 'hi'
    - barking at people, dogs, cats when they walk by the window

    On the first visit, Jared came to my house to get a better understanding of my dog's problem behaviors, and was able to teach me some techniques to practice for homework.

    In the next visit, he was able to see what kind of progress we'd made, and point out how I could improve, as well as teach my parents and teenager how to communicate with the dog. He is very honest about what he thinks might be too much if the dog isn't ready, and what we need to practice. I really appreciate how he tailored his instructions for different people so they each felt confident about what to do when they are handling the dog.

    Jared crafts his training program to meet individual's needs. For example, if you want to take your dog to a park, or outdoor restaurant, he'll go there with you and he shows you techniques that work for that setting.

    He doesn't use choke chains, e-collars, or any other negative/violent reinforcement tools to 'break' a dog into submission. He also doesn't rely on over-dispensing treats (I was doing that before) to coax a dog into behavior.

    In just the two months we've been working with Jared, I sense that my dog is more relaxed, because I am more relaxed and confident!

    Photo of Lola & Delilah Much more accomplished than we expected. John instructed with patience and clarity. We learned a lot and believe we will be able to deal with our dogs much more successfully.

    Within 2 hours of the initial visit, my dogs were behaving completely different! There was peace instead of chaos in the house. We learned simple ways to correct behaviors without using treats or discipline. My dogs are more calm and easy to control. I am beyond thankful and appreciative for Bobb’s nonjudgmental guidance and kind approach. I cannot wait to keep working together and making my dogs happier, healthier, members of our home!
    Completely recommend to anyone! Worth every penny!

    Photo of Tank and Lily The training has taught my fiancé and I so much about how to better manage our dogs when they get stressed and reactive. I feel so much better suited to communicate with my dogs in a way they understand. Every dog owner should have this training!

    Trainer Note:
    I'm so glad to hear that you and your fiancé found the training helpful! It's amazing how understanding your dogs' stress and reactivity can truly transform your relationship with them. Being able to communicate in a way they understand makes all the difference. I couldn't agree more—every dog owner would benefit from this kind of training. Keep up the great work with your dogs! 😊

    Photo of Nessie Kayla is so amazing to work with. She came to our house with our puppy and taught us so much. She answers any questions I have via text when I’m stuck on what the best thing is for our pup. She always gives honest and educated advice that I truly trust.

    Photo of Hamlet Kayla was excellent - we just had our first visit and learned plenty on how to build confidence in our boy Hammy so he knows to look to us for leadership. Already seeing an improvement on our communication!

    Kayla from Bark Busters is the real deal. She was awesome! Even after having dogs my entire life, learned and practiced so much last evening. It is absolutely true that you see a difference on the very first meeting with your dog. We've been putting in to practice all of the daily activities and exercises and are continuing to see great progress with my 2 year old mini-dachsund, Riley. Kayla is both professional and very personable. I have already recommended her to 2 of my nephews for their dogs, and do not hesitate to recommend her to anyone !

    Great company. Heather has helped me so much and has gotten my pup 9 month newfypoo to walk outside after he was attacked by a loose dog in the neighborhood. She is fantastic!!
