    Photo of Coco John provided a clear and easy direction to get our training of Coco underway. Within minutes, we saw a marked improvement in the behaviors we needed addressed.

    We've been working with Mike and Cassidy for a few months now and we saw a positive change in our dogs behavior immediately following the first session with them. We unfortunately lost one of our dogs shortly after starting with them and they were amazing working with us. Boomer no longer rushes the front door or guests, he respects designated spaces in the house and has greatly improved with pulling on the leash and his reactivity.

    Photo of Rocco Incoming Rocco update! So it’s been 2 weeks since Rocco’s session and you guys, he is a DIFFERENT DOG! We are in constant disbelief. It’s as if a switch was flipped. He doesn’t do any of the bad behaviors anymore! • He doesn’t bark at random noises when we’re home. • He doesn’t bark and run towards the windows when the neighbors pass by. He literally looks and doesn’t react! • He doesn’t have any aggression whatsoever towards our cleaning lady. I was able to bring him out on leash with the training cushion in hand, but he didn’t do anything! He was green zoning the whole time. • I’m able to bring him along to do errands and he just sits by my feet when I’m paying or waiting for something. Even if men come up next to me, he looks but then relaxes and doesn’t react at all. • yesterday Mauro had a friend over for dinner 🥹 and I wasn’t home when he first came over but Mauro said he was super calm and totally accepted Claudio in the house and let him pet him!! I was worried when I arrived that he would turn and start being aggressive, but he stayed in the green zone alllll night. We kept him on leash but were 👌this close to taking it off because we were THAT confident that he wouldn’t behave badly. • when we take him out to cafes he literally just sits calmly under my seat and looks around (💚 zone), even with other dogs and babies walking right in front of him. We’ve been very diligent on the 👏 and “bah” when he steps a toe into the 💛 zone. I’ve let up on the leash yanking when were out because he started to look scared of me haha. He’s really good on leash. He now waits for me to step in/out of the elevator before walking and doesn’t lunge or even notice people walking by. I don’t know how you guys did it, but you totally fixed Rocco!!! We cannot believe the transformation!! I can see in his eyes he is HAPPIER and at ease. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for what you did 🥹🙏 You guys literally changed all of our lives!!

    We started working with Hanna in January for one of our pups (7.5 yrs) who in the month prior started to get aggressive towards our older pup (13 yrs). Luckily it wasn’t to a point where they had to be constantly separated and a couple of days after the first training it was night and day difference in their temperaments! We are seeing a lot of improvements in most of the areas we are focusing on. Some habits are hard to break (like going straight for the couch first thing in the am) but it’s a work in progress. We are so happy we made this investment for our pup and are excited for what the future holds!

    We’ve done different types of trainings over the years with our different dogs, but the Bark Busters methods make so much more sense. It’s a very calm and quiet way to train rather than yelling commands. I have learned to understand my dog’s body language, anticipate his behavior, and be proactive instead of reactive. We are being taught to train our dog for behaviors we want him to have in our household, not what someone else thinks he should do. Our trainer, Hanna, has been so resourceful and supportive. In the past I’ve never felt confident in my abilities to train a dog - I often feel reprimanded for not doing things the right way in classes. But Hanna is gentle and kind, and has given me the confidence that I can do this and be successful.

    Photo of Penny Kristyn did an outstanding evaluating Penny's needs to stop her barking. She gave us the tools needed to change the behavior. So far, everything is working.

    Our goal was to stop the barking, but we learned so much more that will help us with other behaviors that we want to modify and to also improve her nutrition.

    Hanna was wonderful helping us give our Jaxy comfort and confidence when he joined our family. She was so good helping us all work as a team and helped us all. Can't recommend them higher

    Photo of Sara was absolutely amazing, and we learned so much from her! We absolutely love her and this program! My boy zombie has separation anxiety and is reactive to other humans and dogs and in one session we are already seeing a change in his behavior. We are so excited for him to be able to be calm and carefree and live his life to the fullest! Thank you so much for training us to train him correctly!!!

    Trainer Note:
    Thank you for you Google review Brianna!! Thank you so much for the kind worlds. You two have helped Zombie so much already you were just missing the “talking dog” part of it. I can’t wait to see how he does after the next three weeks.

    Photo of Opie We are so grateful to have come across Bark Busters and cannot say enough good things. The bottom line is that we have received excellent guidance and support in training our dog as we combine households and add a cat to the mix. Ryanne has taught us so much; we’re happy and our dog is happier. Everything has made so much sense to us and to our dog as evidenced by his response to the training. There is nothing harsh or unkind and we saw results right away and continue to see results. We’ve recommended Bark Busters to our friends and will continue to do so. Thank you!!
