    Susan is the real deal. She has brought peace to our house, and our rescue Pitbull Nala.
    With the 'homework' we were given, we see improvement every day! I actually believe she trained us more than she trained Nala. The results are simply amazing! Thank you Susan!!

    If you're on the fence about committing to a dog trainer or unsure which one to choose, I highly recommend Bark Busters. We've been working with Johnny for a few months now, and I've seen significant improvements in my dog's behavior. We adopted our puppy from the shelter at six months old, and some of his behaviors had us a bit concerned--it seemed like he may have spent much of his early life as a stray. We were struggling with issues we didn't want to carry into adulthood, and Johnny has been incredible in helping us address them. Johnny truly has a way with dogs and an impressive understanding of their behavior. He's excellent at communicating and helping us better understand our dog, while also being a great people person--friendly, approachable, and super personable. He always emphasizes that we can reach out anytime with questions, which has meant so much to us and help put our mind at ease. Hiring Johnny was worth every penny and has helped set our family up for a happier life. I honestly believe Johnny is one of Goose's favorite people!

    After adopting our dog from a rescue, we immediately noticed she was reactive to dogs and people. YouTube videos and researching online didn’t help, and we were at such a loss. We started working with Johnny Jumper and as soon as the first session, my husband and I noticed a significant improvement. He is incredibly patient, teaches clearly, and customizes our lessons to the specific areas where we need support. Thank you Johnny!

    I cannot recommend Jared enough!
    We started training with him because we wanted a calmer, more confident dog and honestly the difference has been amazing. Jared is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and SO good at explaining things in a way that makes sense.

    What I loved the most is that he didn’t just “train the dog,” he taught US how to work with him in real life situations. Every session felt personalized to our dog’s personality and needs, and Jared always showed up with such a positive attitude and so much care.

    We’ve seen huge progress already, better leash manners, calmer behavior around other dogs and people. Overall just a happier pup who knows what’s expected of him.

    If you’re looking for a trainer who is professional, results-oriented, and genuinely passionate about dogs, Jared is the one. Totally worth it.

    Where do I even start with this review! We contacted Bark Busters to help with our two young pitbulls who both deal with fear/reactivity and stranger danger, especially at our house (they bark and freak out at approaching visitors and it became a problem). We were put in contact with Scott and he came to our home to help us start to tackle these things in person in the environment that the trouble was happening. In the very first hour of training, we were not only taught about the basis of the behaviors and the animal psychology behind it, but also given highly effective communication skills and tools to use to immediately address the problem areas. We practiced these skills indoors with each dog, where seeing immediate behavior change felt like such a relief. We were then given practice and homework to continue reinforcing the new boundaries at home, which we have continued happily. I have noticed such a massive change in my dog's behavior, including in ways completely unrelated to the initial problem areas. He is calmer on car rides, more relaxed in public settings, and pays more attention to my communication and body language in our daily life. The basis of all of this was Scott teaching me how to use my body and my voice to tell my dog that he's safe, that I am in charge, and that I expect certain good behaviors. I was so afraid that a trainer would tell me to make my dog a submissive obedient robot, or tell me I had to stop being ridiculous and playful with my dog, or that I had to use physical force to fix these things. None of that was true. Scott is a dog dad too, and a major dog lover. He taught us communication skills that still allow us to have the loving, goofy relationship that we want with our pets while enforcing boundaries that make all of our lives easier. Scott is a great teacher and his ethos around dog behavior and training are kind, loving, and based in a real understanding of dog psychology. I am so thankful we found Bark Busters!! I have much more confident, calm dogs after just a few weeks of this new learning and I feel like I have the tools I need to continue being the dog mama that they need.

    Photo of Juniper and Oreo Working with Omar has been an eye‑opening and genuinely transformative experience for our family. He didn’t just help us address our dog’s behavioral challenges — he helped us understand why those behaviors were happening in the first place. Omar opened our minds to a completely new way of seeing our relationship with our dog and how we communicate with her.

    His calm, clear guidance gave us the confidence we needed to fully commit to helping her grow, adjust, and ultimately live in harmony with our other pets. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, we now feel empowered and connected, and we’re already seeing meaningful progress.

    If you’re looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, patient, and truly invested in helping you build a better relationship with your dog, Omar is the one. We couldn’t recommend him more.
