    Photo of Daphne I trained with James to help with my fearful/anxious GSD rescue, Daphne, and she has made incredible progress! I really appreciated the personalized training recommendations and plans for practice at home and follow up by James. She now is okay with meeting new people in our home and has began to bond with friends who we have over more often!

    We began to dread having visitors because our two dogs got so excited -- jumping and barking when the doorbell rang. On our first session with Sarah she showed us how to get them under control and that has made a huge difference but there's much more. Sarah taught us how to get better control when walking them on leash and an effective way to get their attention when we want them to come. (And our dogs now love her too)

    I can’t say enough good things about Bark Busters and the incredible impact it’s had on my 2.5-year-old rescue dog, Copper. He’s a sweet boy but came to us with some behavior issues and a clear lack of confidence. Since working with Natalie, the transformation has been amazing Copper is becoming more confident, calm, and happy by the day.

    One of the biggest changes has been his barking. It used to be really bad, especially when people came over he’d get overwhelmed and loud. Now, thanks to Natalie’s training and guidance, he’s learned how to stay calm and composed. It’s made such a difference in our home life.

    This training has been worth every penny it goes far beyond anything we’ve experienced with big-box store training programs like Petco or PetSmart. Natalie’s approach is personalized, effective, and rooted in a deep understanding of dog behavior. If you’re on the fence, take it from me: this is one of the best investments you can make in your dog’s well-being and your own peace of mind.

    What a great system for training Bark Busters has. We had an effective and fun 3 hours getting used to our new role as leader to our 4 month old Beagle, JR and Doxie mix puppy we had spontaneously aquired at the park. Adorable, but.....the most active, curious and mischievous dog I have ever owned. So thankful we found Sharon! She spent a few hours with us and what a difference. Not needing treats is a big plus, and rather becoming completely oriented to being the leader is an amazing and effective mindset for us. We all notice how he seems so satisfied and safe as he trots along behind or beside us as we walk him around our neighborhood. I can easily retrieve items he grabs thinking he can play with them. It's almost like magic as his jaw instantly opens as we visually connect (looking serious) as I remove it from his mouth. Potty training would be 100% if it wasn't for our not doing our part, and the playful biting is under control. I love the materials Sharon left with us along with her list of practice exercises. It has been so helpful to review. Watching Sharon skillfully bring out instant results with our puppy showed us this method totally works and in such a natural and healthy way for our him. We also feel great about knowing help is just a call or visit away, should anything else surface. Thank you Sharon.

    When we first adopted our puppy it felt like we always had to be near her in the pen or in her line of sight or she would get bad separation anxiety and cried constantly to get out. At times training her felt like an uphill battle, but within minutes of the first visit, Scott helped us with her separation anxiety, along with teaching her to be in her bed instead of on the couch. This has been a HUGE improvement in such a short amount of time and my husband and I feel like we actually have time to take care of things around the home. I cannot recommend Scott from Bark Busters enough!!

    Photo of Harri Today was Harri and mine follow up with Natalie. I am proud of the progress that she has helped us make. Harri is quicker to quiet at the door and was less aggressive/protective. Natalie gave me new homework for us and I am so excited for more improvement! Thank you Natalie

    Natalie, our trainer, is wonderful. She is highly competent and very effective. Our Snoopy is a rescue, and he was pretty difficult at first. To give him every chance we called Bark Busters. Im extremely happy because she taught Snoopy how to be good by teaching us how to understand him. VERY effective!

    Lissette had helped me with training my 2 young male herding dogs 7 years ago. My one dog, Buddy has been unhappy and barking constantly so I contacted her. True to their guarantee she came back and helped me reclaim my front door and helped Buddy with a herding ball that made him so happy . She is an amazing trainer and her guarantee is truly for life.

    Photo of Zula Carrie was an incredible help to us and our Chihuahua-Pitbull, Zula! We were at a loss with her leash pulling, fear aggression, and general anxiety out in the world and Carrie equipped us with the knowledge and confidence to fix things one step at a time. We now feel like we have control because Zula feels safe alongside our firm alpha routines. This is well worth the investment of time and $$ to get a new lease on dog ownership!
