Orlando helped us with establishing leadership with both our dogs and claiming areas and personal space. Looking forward to our next lesson in order to address additional issues.

Bill and Holly have been fantastic in training our dog, Bella. They really took the time to understand her behavior issues and gave us the tools to help her become more obedient and relaxed. What I appreciate most is how they treat both the dog and us as the owners with respect and patience. Their approach is not only effective, but it’s also sustainable. We’ve seen a huge transformation in Bella’s behavior, and we’re now able to enjoy stress-free walks and playtime!

Heather was tremendously helpful in helping me prevent my dog, Marshmallow, from digging under the fence and escaping my yard. Heather was friendly, professional and highly knowledgeable. Her solutions were simple, reasonable adjustments to our habits that led to quick and effective changes. She has also been more than willing to make good on the promise of follow-up visits at no additional cost, which adds tremendous value to the training services. Her support has been invaluable to our piece of mind, and I would happy recommend her and Bark Busters to anyone in need of dog behavioral assistance.

I'm honestly not sure why It's taken this long for me to write a review for Adam. Adam is a gentle giant and sooo good with pups! I've had 2 dogs y train with him and they've both really loved Adam. Adam is so knowledgeable about different problem areas (one of my dogs was reactive on leash and the other had separation anxiety). He knew how to work through both problems and is always quick to respond to my texts. Admittedly, I panic quite easily and always text Adam when I'm freaking out about my dog's behavior - he always calms me down and is very patient with me which I'm so grateful for. I would highly recommend Adam to anyone who is having issues with their pup - you'll leave with a great trainer and a great friend :)

**5-Star Review for Mariah Vogeley at Bark Busters**
PermalinkI cannot speak highly enough of Mariah Vogeley and her incredible dog training services through Bark Busters. I have a very smart, high-energy, and stubborn 6-year-old chocolate Labradoodle, and in the summer, I adopted a 5-month-old Black Labradoodle-Shepherd/Husky mix. What I thought would be a straightforward training experience turned into a bigger challenge than I ever anticipated. Despite my previous experience with training my older dog, I quickly realized I was struggling to manage two very strong personalities.
Luckily, I heard about Mariah and Bark Busters from my neighbor, whose dogs had shown significant improvement after just one session. This gave me the reassurance I desperately needed, so I reached out to Mariah, who responded promptly and was able to meet with me right away. From the very first interaction, I knew I was in good hands. I was upfront with Mariah about my awareness of my dogs' intelligence and how I was the one who needed the training.
Our first session was an eye-opener. It lasted over three hours, and Mariah was incredibly thorough in her approach, providing me with practical, easy-to-understand advice. She answered all my questions and reassured me that progress was the goal, not perfection. Over the next few weeks, as I encountered challenges, Mariah was always there for me—whether through text or a quick follow-up call. Her responsiveness and constant support have been invaluable.
One of the most memorable pieces of advice Mariah gave me was during a call before a weekend trip when I was feeling anxious about traveling with the puppy. She simply said, "Remember to have fun, this is supposed to be fun," and it completely changed my perspective. It’s easy to get frustrated during training, and her reminder to focus on the joy of the process has been so important for my mindset.
Since that initial meeting, we’ve had two more sessions with Mariah, and each time, I’ve been amazed by how much more I’ve learned. I honestly didn’t think we could ever get my older dog to stop pulling on walks, let alone walk both dogs side-by-side without pulling. But after our most recent session, we’ve been going on daily walks without any pulling! I even got a call from family friends who were watching the dogs, and they were blown away by how much better they behaved on the leash, particularly my oldest dog.
Mariah’s training has been worth every penny, and I genuinely believe she should be charging triple what she does, given the transformation in both my dogs and myself. This has truly been the best investment I’ve made for my dogs and for my own peace of mind. I cannot recommend Mariah enough. She is patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about helping both you and your dogs succeed. I’m looking forward to continuing our work together as we tackle any future challenges that come our way. If you’re looking for an exceptional trainer, Mariah is absolutely the one to trust.
Thank you, Mariah, for everything!

We rescued Charlie, our dog, from the SF SPCA when he was 5. After two months with us, his behavior worsened—he became reactive, aggressive, and confrontational, even biting three people who tried to pet him. Despite trying various online courses, self-led training, and other resources, progress was slow or nonexistent. On walks, Charlie would react to every person and dog, leaving us anxious both at home and outside. Desperate, we turned to Bark Busters for help.
PermalinkDan Franco quickly taught us things about Charlie that we never knew. His methods made an immediate difference—Charlie went from aggressive and reactive to calm and obedient in just one day. Now, we can walk Charlie without issue, and he’s often calm enough to ignore other dogs entirely. Dan has truly transformed our lives, and I can’t recommend him enough.

Kristyn was great with both our puppy and our senior dog. Even though it was the first lesson our dogs were immediately responsive and showed tremendous behavioral improvements. Most importantly Kristyn showed US as parents how to interact with our dogs and continue improving their behavior.
