    I highly recommend this service. Randy was amazing. The tips he gave us are already working in less than a day.

    When I thought all hope was over....Randy came to our rescue. Well worth every penny and so happy that we called. My sweet dogs in one session have shown great improvement. Thank you Randy for your expertise.

    We have a blue nose, pitbull, named Blue Bear. We were training him ourselves off of videos on YouTube. At six months old, I started looking for a trainer. It took me four months before I finally just told myself I had to pull the trigger and called Bark Busters and boy am I glad I got it right the first time. After just a couple of hours of training us, and reinforcing it with Blue Bear we had an entirely different dog that was calm, happy, and responsive to us. I did not believe that it would happen that fast. It was a joy to work with Patrick. He’s very dedicated to dogs and their parents. He explained everything to us, and answered all of our questions, and worked with us in our own home. It was a very seamless transition to a very well behaved loving dog when explaining why we needed to do the things we did. It all came together and made so much sense. I’m a retired nurse, and I do love to work with rationales behind what you do. My husband is very impressed which is hard to do. My daughter came over this morning and was amazed at how well behaved Blue Bear was. Looking forward to. Continued success with our beloved Blue Bear. Thank you Patrick, and Bark Busters.

    We really enjoyed having Joanne work with us and our dog. She was very supportive and gave appropriate suggestions to help us encourage Macy to trust us and enjoy her new home. Our main concerns were digging, destroying our kids' toys, barking excessively with company, and pottying in the house. Macy is so much happier since working with Joanne!

    After my session with Ben, I knew I made a great decision. I’ve never felt like I had a handle on my dogs or their behavior, and it would easily overwhelm me. However, understanding how dogs think and why they do what they do, was really instrumental in allowing me to grasp what I need to do for my dogs to understand me. It almost felt like witchcraft how quickly my dogs responded to what I learned.

    I actually look forward to my homework and see what else I can learn about my dogs and how they can view me ☺️.

    Kyle has been absolutely wonderful with reassuring me & retraining me to be assertive as the pack leader. I have a reactive dog that can growl or lunge with dogs or people on walks (out of fear). Before calling bark busters I did not know what to do other than avoid everything and everyone. My dog is now making great strides in not only her reactiveness but also in listening to me, not pulling my arm off to get outside for a walk and barking at outside noise.
    Kyle is very positive, personable, efficient and gives clear directions. He teaches you how to read your dogs body language and how to communicate in a way your dog will understand. More to that, how your actions can be directly tied to their behavior- it’s training for you and your dog... It really is mind opening seeing your relationship from a different perspective. Kyle has a wealth of knowledge and it truly has made all the difference for me. It is a real struggle having a dog that cuddles you but is scared of strangers and other dogs. You and your dog can be happier and more confident. It seems like an impossible ask but help is out there! If you have a similar dog, I cannot recommend Kyle & his training style enough. You can become the leader your dog needs. 10/10 stars! My schnauzer is able to walk alongside a family members dog now and enjoy herself. Baby steps, but a month ago I’d never have thought this was possible.

    Photo of Paprika We had a great time working with Josh and were surprised how quickly we could see a difference in our dog's behavior when we changed our approach.

    Paprika was a very smart dog! She picked up on our techniques very quickly and was eager to please. We addressed her aggression and resource guarding. We also worked on her overall behavior in the home and also her demanding and jumping. I am really looking forward to her progress over the coming weeks.

    Kyle was on time, professional, personable and very helpful. He did a great job of explaining the why behind the approach, talking through our current challenges with Oreo and discussed the psychology behind it. He trained us and gave us tools we look forward to using!

    We were at 6 months with our new puppy and she was as lawless as could be (jumping on people, barking at every little noise, counter surfing, pulling on the leash). We tried treats for training and she learned a few commands but wouldn’t do them on command without the treats. Enter Bark Busters. Within the first 2 hours we had the respect of our dogs and a way to uphold the laws of the household. We feel in control and equipped with the tools to keep it that way. No shock collars, no treats, only respect. IMMENSE Thanks to Omar and the BarkBusters techniques!

    Jef gave us the tools we needed in order to have stress free and peaceful walks around our neighborhood, whereas before, Star had pulled us down and even gotten away running after flying ducks. He helped us understand what Star's behavior means in human language, and he taught us how to speak in "dog's" language. This has worked splendidly. I wholeheartedly recommend Jef to anyone experiencing challenges with his/her fur baby. Jef is very friendly and professional. He can easily be reached and is always there to answer any questions that arise while implementing the techniques he teaches. He has great knowledge about dog behavior. I can't say enough good things about Jef and his training. I recommend him very highly.

    Thank you Patricia! I am so impressed by you and the family. You each worked diligently with Star to teach her your rules and now can enjoy family walks again. Great work!
