    Photo of Marty Very patient with humans that need to learn how to get our dog to learn he is not alpha. Great session to practice and incorporate.

    Photo of Aspen Joshua is so knowledgeable and helpful! Can't wait to keep working with him and practice what he taught with Aspen. The tools and advice he shared make sense!

    Trainer Note:
    Really great first lesson, Aspen is a bit fearful, so we spent most of the time focusing on positive association with new people. We are also establishing leadership which is a huge part in progress forward around new people.

    Our 2 dogs made great improvements in our short session this afternoon! Josh showed us how to work with the dogs on barking, walking nicely on the leash, and how to come in through doors. We are very pleased with the positive changes and look forward to practicing the skills Josh showed us so we can be the pack leader's!

    Bark Busters, specifically Connor, has been life changing for my dog and my family! When we reached out, we couldn't take our dog in public for fear of him aggressing towards other animals or people. I was really impressed with Connor. As he knew our dog might become aggressive, he came right in day one, engaging with him. On apt 1 we were already working on leash training, distance control, managing attention seeking behaviors, and door control. Connor is also very knowledgeable, he simplifies everything, he shows multiple examples and gives in the moment feedback. He always leaves us with step-by-step homework and is always available for any questions we might have. He is also a lot of fun to work with. I would recommend Bark Busters to anyone who is struggling with a dog who engages in problem behaviors! - (Google Review)

    Photo of Lexi WOW! We highly recommend Bark Busters training with Dick Messenger. After trying all sorts of other training techniques that didn't work, from day one after our first training session at home with Dick, our little Lexi was a changed dog. Lexi is relaxed, happy and obedient, and the nuisance barking has stopped. She is a pleasure to take on walks, and training is actually fun! We will continue to reap the positive rewards for years to come.

    Photo of ZuZu Theresa was excellent in helping us with our dog. We saw great changes after implementing the tools she showed us. She was always responsive to any questions we had and worked to meet our specific needs. Bark Busters has a great team. Thanks again Theresa!

    No joke - Holly saved us. Our fur baby, whom we love dearly, is a rescue and has been EXTREMELY challenging. To the point where we were concerned that we would need to re-home her. When we met Holly, were desperate, but she showed us that there was still hope and that we could help our dog be successful. After a sweet kick in the ass, Holly got us back on track, and while our dog is still a little challenging because she is naturally sassy, she is SO much more manageable. We can't recommend Holly highly enough!!!

    Trainer Note:
    Storm was really hyperactive puppy and has been struggling to control herself. Today we seen some really great progression from her. She was very responsive and was able to think and use her brain which really helped her to calm down.

    Photo of Josh is an awesome trainer who has some amazing training techniques as well as lots of advice regarding dog nutrition/health! Almost immediately after our first training session, I noticed a difference in my pup's behavior (i.e. no more begging at the table, listening to commands without needing to use treats, and coming when called)! He is very quick to respond to any and all questions I have and has been very accommodating when scheduling training sessions! I definitely recommend Josh to train your pup!

    I was ready to take my dog back to the shelter after just one month because of her out-of-control behavioral issues. After 2 hours with Bill our world had changed! Bill is a great leadership coach and that is exactly what he did with me. He taught me how to be the leader of my home. Now my dog is much happier and so am I. The beauty was that he did not need treats or anything other than positive reinforcement. It was amazing.
