    Holly and Bill completely transformed our dog, Spike! He had severe separation anxiety and would destroy everything in sight when left alone. After just one session, we noticed immediate improvements. They gave us the tools to manage his behavior and showed us how to communicate with him effectively. Spike is so much calmer now. Highly recommend their services!

    Trainer Note:
    Thank you so much for the glowing review! We're thrilled to hear about the positive changes in Spike's behavior. It's wonderful to know that the training made such a difference. Separation anxiety can be really tough, so it's fantastic to hear that Spike is now calmer and more manageable. We’re so glad you found the tools and communication strategies helpful. Thank you again for recommending our services – it means a lot!

    Nicole has been a very important part of my new puppy experience. I contacted Nicole prior to my puppy pickup day and she has been a wonderful part of my training. Her in home visits have been instrumental and she is so responsive in between visits to provide guidance and support. My puppy loves her and is so excited every time he sees her. If you live in the area she supports I highly recommend her training experience.

    We were referred to Jared by a friend who had amazing results with their dog. I swear, from his first visit, my dogs were trained! They were both very responsive to the communication techniques Jared taught us to use with them. He's very friendly, prompt and responsive to any questions we have regarding behavioral issues in between meetings. We would definitely recommend Jared/Bark Busters!

    Photo of Oliver & Mila John helped us with our dogs within a few hours. His deep knowledge helped immediately. We saw a change in both dogs. We are excited to put to use all we learned. Highly recommend!

    Photo of Thunder & Tabasco Orlando helped us with establishing leadership with both our dogs and claiming areas and personal space. Looking forward to our next lesson in order to address additional issues.

    I had a great experience with their customer service. A lot of places didn't call me back at all after filling out a consultation request. Bark Busters definitely stood out in this regard, not only did they call right away, but Michelle had the kindest manner. She took the time to gather all the details of my situation and explained everything to me. I had multiple follow-up questions and Reginald called me back every time right away to answer my additional questions. They even went as far as to connect me with Kristen, one of the main trainers, to answer anything they could not. If they are this great even before you become a client I can only imagine how great they are when you are.

    I was at my wits' end with my rescue dog Luckie. I got him during Covid, and he was my first dog. Over the three years that I've had him, his behavior had gotten increasingly worse. He barked non-stop, didn't like anyone getting near me, and was no fun to walk as he peed every second. I wasn't sure I could keep him, as he was really impacting my life, and this broke my heart.

    My first meeting with Kevin literally changed my life. All his teachings were about me using my voice and showing I'm in control. I could not believe the changes in my dog I saw from one visit! Kevin checks in with me and is available through text. He has come a few more times to check on us and further our education.

    I cannot recommend this company more. I had seen other trainers, and no one has had such a long-lasting impact as Kevin and Bark Busters. Honestly, the best money ever spent.

    We are first-time dog owners. We got our puppy at eight weeks and were over our heads. Ever since Kevin came, we have seen improvements with our puppy Jazz immediately. He always assesses the situation to figure out where Jazz is and gives us great building blocks and pointers on handling each situation within each phase we head into with her each time we see him. He is an awesome trainer. He makes himself available and is always responsive when we text him to guide us on addressing what we are dealing with. We highly recommend this training. You will see improvements if you stay consistent with their guidance.

    Kevin is amazing. I have a shelter dog that I have had for 2 years. She is very reactive to men and other dogs and could not stay alone for any amount of time. I came home multiple times to my carpet being completely torn up so I knew I had to call someone to help train her. I didn't want her to be so anxious to be alone even for a short period of time.

    Customer service was amazing from when I called. They explained everything to me, answered all my questions, and listened to all my concerns. They paired me with Kevin. I was nervous at first that I was paired with a male trainer as my dog does not like men but they said that's exactly why they are doing it. My dog can be skiddish but Kevin gives her space and time while guiding me on what to do. Within 5 mins she comes up to him and is good to go. I see Kevin once a month - sometimes more depending on whether I would like one. He is very communicative on text and we stay in contact throughout the time inbetween sessions so that he can tell me anything I need to change or update.

    It has only been 4 months and Kevin has checked off so many things on my list. Here are some...
    - my dog does not bark at the door when someone walks by, rings the bell, or comes in
    - my dog can stay alone for a couple hours calmly and fall asleep
    - my dog is crate trained and can be in her crate that's in the room by herself
    - my dog does not pull and walks beside me
    - my dog is not reactive to other dogs when on walks
    - my dog goes in and out of doors only when I say ""ok""
    - my dog listens to her commands - sit, stay, inside, drop it, wait, leave it, etc
    - my dog is constantly looking at me to listen

    I am also moving from LA to Australia and he is helping me train my dog to be comfortable in her crate for a 16hr flight. She's already doing so well in her crate. She used to escape from her old crate because of how panicked she was and now she goes in there on her own to sleep.

    My dog and I have become a lot closer because of this training. My main reason for the training was that I didn't want her to be anxious all the time and Kevin has definitely helped her to feel comfortable and secure.

    Thank you so much Kevin! You have made a huge difference in our lives! I truly appreciate it.
