    Jenna Finch is a miracle worker!! My two Havanese dogs, ages 5 years and 7 years have had numerous classes and private trainers over their lives. Despite being affectionate and friendly each had developed behaviors that made them less than desirable neighbors in high rise buildings. No trainer was able to change those negative behavior. Rushing the front door, going into frenzies when guests arrived and being very demanding of attention from those guests were the most frustrating behaviors. In one visit, Jenna eliminated all of those actions and the new behavior has remained consistent with reinforcement homework by me. I discovered by accident that my older dog barked constantly when my husband and I are both gone from home. Jenna showed me how this was classic separation anxiety behavior. With the assistance of a nanny cam and Jenna's patient guidance and support, my boy has stayed quietly in his bed during our absences. I had to make sure the camera was actually working I was so astonished! All of these incredible results after only a week! Jenna is a pleasure to work with, explains everything then gives you very clear guidance in writing. She has been unfailingly available , including on nights and weekend. I couldn't be more delighted by the results of her training!!

    I’m so glad we found Ben at Bark Busters. We recently inherited a 2 year old 130lb Great Dane who went through a traumatic event that left him nervous, afraid and occasionally aggressive. He would growl at and chase the cats, growl and chase our small kids. I ended up very worried and afraid that our new very big dog was going to hurt someone. We made an appointment with Ben as soon as we could and we are amazed at how different of a dog we have after just our first training session! The night after Ben left our dog allowed one of our cats to come sleep in the bed and ignored her all night, he stopped barking at everyone he saw and most of all he’s no longer anxious around our small kids. Before if the kids got loud or ran he would growl and chase them down until they stopped, now he doesn’t even acknowledge when the kid comes running through a room he’s in. I finally have some peace of mind and I’m not anxious anymore that our dog is going to hurt anyone and if he does act out now thanks to Ben we have the tools to handle the situation and correct the behavior and understand why he acted the way he did.

    We can’t recommend Ben at Bark Busters enough. If you need help training your dog or understanding why they do what they do then go book that appointment, you won’t be disappointed!!

    Photo of Cody We were mainly concerned with our dog not coming when called and running from us as if it was a game. Secondly, the resource guarding was escalating where we couldn't get him to drop things he'd picked up and would snarl and nip at us. These behaviors we excellently addressed, and we were given tools to work with.

    Really great session today working with Cody addressing his recall and resource guarding. He responded very well and Martha was very pleased! I am looking forward to his continued progress.

    Chad, it was great meeting you on Monday and talking again yesterday. You are doing all of the right things and I am excited to see the progress with Mercury. Aggression is a serious behavioral issue that often is driven by fear. Now that you are taking the lead for the pack, your sweet boy will be able to calm down and relax around people. Great work so far!

    Photo of Blue & Mila Amber is very informative and helped me understand my dogs' needs more. I saw immediate improvement and am excited to implement the program in our house.

    Photo of Diamond So thankful for the specific explanations and guidance for our new puppy. We now know how to correct her, play with her, crate train her and work on potty training. We were able to get guidance on specific situations where we were struggling.

    Diamond is going to be a great dog! Now Micah has the tools he needs to guide her and start the basics. We also covered socialization and a plan for her future!

    Highly recommend Bonnie and Bark Busters. My dog Oliver has an obsession with dogs and always wants to play, but his barking and growling comes off as aggressive. Bonnie came in and worked with us and we saw a complete transformation with Oliver in the first session. He has already started to pick up on the cues that my fiancé and I give him. Highly recommend Bark Busters.

    I have two dobermans ages 3 1/2. I needed to learn how to be the leader of this pack. The skills Sharon taught me were/are very effective with my boys. In addition, we worked on their backyard behavior. In the first session she had my boys greeting the neighbors dog with out aggression. Sharon knows dogs and is very patient when teaching her clients. This was well worth the investment. I am so happy I made the appointment. I would definitely recommend her services. Thank you Sharon.

    I’m so happy that I found Bark Busters!
    What a difference I have seen in my dog with a training sessions with Jodie. Jodie is fantastic!
    She’s great at what she does, loves what she does and it shows.
    I feel confident with Jodie’s help and Bark Busters training techniques that all my dogs bad behaviors will soon be gone.

    Ben is so amazing with explaining everything and the Bark Busters methods work wonders! Everything exceeded my expectations and the training tools are so easy and intuitive. You aren't just given the tools, but the reasoning behind it which really made perfect sense of everything. We saw an immediate response from our pup and I could not be happier. Highly recommend!
