Bark Busters Reviews

We called Bark Busters after our dog was kicked out of doggy daycare. Mariah came out the next week and we just had our first session. Mariah was kind, patient, and intelligent. It was clear to us that Mariah is well versed in doggy training and we had a great first session. Mariah provided a plethora of information and helped us understand the root cause of some of the behavioral issues and how to work on those behaviors with our dog. We are happy that we chose Bark Busters and look forward to working with Mariah!

Sara was so easy to work with and was very patient with us when trying to "train" us to be effective dog parents. Several of her pointers have worked wonders with our puppy immediately, and other tips are going to take a bit more practice, as we found out after Sara left. It was a very comfortable and pleasant training experience overall and we will not hesitate to contact Sara with any questions or concerns we have during our training journey. Thank you, Sara, for giving us the confidence to tackle this most important task! We will be in touch soon!

We adopted a 2 year old rescue who had only lived in a shelter. He had never been trained or on a leash. Cody had him under control the minute he walked in the door. Remi is such a sweet and fun boy to have around the house, on a leash and even off leash!!!!

Luis is knowledgeable, patient and genuinely takes the time to understand not only your dog, but the unique bond and family dynamics as well. I rescued my dog as a puppy and while he had always been very social, when he got to about a year and a half I started noticing some reactive behaviors that were confusing. I read plenty of reviews and researched different companies and appreciated the way Bark Busters communicated their approach. From my first call with them, it was clear that they did not take a "one size fits all" approach and understood what I was hoping to accomplish and we had booked our first appointment with the lifetime guarantee.

A few weeks later, Luis came into our lives. Luis genuinely wanted to understand all about Gadget, our time together, the experiences we had and the behaviors we wanted to address. It was clear he wanted to help us truly get as close as we could to the root causes and not just apply a bandaid to behaviors. He started by giving me better tools to understand what Gadget was going through and to make sure I was equipped with the right knowledge and tactics to address these things. Gadget took to Luis and what he was teaching both of us immediately. It is amazing what you can accomplish with Luis and how quickly you can see a difference. By the end of our first session we had both learned so much... With no treats, no toys, just genuine patience and understanding.

We've now seen Luis 3 times and to be honest, the second and third time really have been more refreshers for me or opportunities to have Luis guide us through the best things to do in particular situations (also, both Gadget and I enjoy our time with Luis and the new things we learn that we get endless compliments on).

In between sessions, Luis is also communicative and always willing to assist or offer insight when needed. Luis understands the bonds and wants to give you opportunities to truly build the relationship, without compromising personalities or ever putting your fur baby or you in any kind of distress.

I cannot think of anyone better to help if you're dealing with reactivity and want to just help your pup (and you) live your best lives together. We're very grateful to Luis and his tactis - and proud of all we accomplished in our first visit and the fun we've gotten to have since!
