    My partner and I had our first session with Amanda yesterday, and it was truly magical. When seeking a dog trainer we read all the reviews before making a decision, and now I can understand crystal clear why she has 5 star ratings everywhere. Amanda has a different philosophy to training and we saw those results immediately! I would recommend her to any dog parent struggling with their fur babies. She also shared a ton of profound knowledge, new to me.

    Photo of Cooper Nicole has been amazing with helping us new dog parents navigate our puppy. The short, direct exercises she has shown us have been extremely effective in training our puppy and provide more sanity in our lives. Nicole is kind and caring and extremely knowledgeable about dog training. We could not be happier with our experience with her. Thank you, Nicole!

    Thank you for the great review, Claire! It has been a pleasure to work with your family and Cooper, and I am so pleased with how he's doing. Excited to continue to watch him grow, mature, and progress!

    Karen was wonderful, kind and thorough. She had our girls calm and immediately stopping barking. Within a few minutes she taught them (and us how to teach them) how to wait when we open a door and only come through it when given the okay. They don't pull on leashes. No more jumping. We are super happy with her training and she has been very diligent about check ins. I love knowing I can lean on her when needed

    Andy was a fantastic coach and trainer. The following day after our session my dog has improved dramatically on walks, jumping up and recall. I highly recommend him for your dog training needs!

    Our dog has been struggling with anxiety and some complex behaviors that had us feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. But Scott came in with a calm, confident presence and immediately made us feel more at ease. He didn’t just work with our dog—he worked with us, teaching us practical tools, tips, and tricks that we could use every day. He explained everything clearly and with so much knowledge that it was easy to follow and apply his advice right away.
    Thanks to Scott, we now feel empowered, educated, and much more prepared to handle situations that used to feel impossible. It’s clear he genuinely cares about both the dogs and the families he helps. The time, effort, and expertise he shared with us have made a huge difference already, and we’re so grateful for everything he’s done.

    Photo of Quavo We cannot even begin to express how grateful we are for James and Bark Busters! We’ve had our sweet rescue, Quavo, for over a year. When we first adopted him, he was fearful and anxious — traits that followed him from the shelter. His separation anxiety was severe, so we initially tried another training company that used e-collars, but unfortunately, his anxiety only got worse. I do not recommend. During that time, a new behavior started: he began snapping at people. Although he never bit anyone, the snapping was scary for our friends and family and was seriously impacting our lives. It was heartbreaking to see Quavo so anxious and unsettled around people, especially because he’s such a sweet boy once he trusts you. After just two sessions with James, EVERYTHING changed. When my family came to visit, they were able to pet and snuggle Quavo without any issues — no snapping AT ALL. It felt like we were one big happy family— something we always dreamed of. I always believed in Quavo, but I honestly didn’t expect to see such fast results. This has truly been life-changing for all of us! (Included a photo of Quavo snuggling with my mom because I still can’t believe it!) Quavo also used to struggle with leash walking, fixating on other dogs and making walks stressful. Thanks to James, walks are now enjoyable, and Quavo has improved so much. We are beyond grateful for James. His training style is incredible — he trains YOU on how to train your dog & how to properly communicate with them. He explains everything clearly and uses gentle, kind methods. He’s honest & you can tell he truly loves dogs and understands each family’s unique situation. I couldn’t recommend James or Bark Busters more. We’re so thankful to have ongoing support for Quavo throughout his life. They have truly been life savers! I’m so grateful that Quavo is able to relax and that people can now see the sweet loving boy he truly is!❤️

    Kayla is just wonderful. We have 3 dogs, one being a very special challenge. We are so impressed with his progress! Kayla has given us the tools to manage our pack and we look forward to her continued support. Highly recommend!
