    Chris was incredibly kind and genuine, he gave us lots of practical tips to use with our dogs. We’ve seen significant improvement in their behavior. Especially helpful was the ongoing support Chris provided in between lessons.

    Photo of Winnie/ Whiskey The best 3-hour session of our lives! We learned so many things from Josh that we will easily be able to carry over, he was so informative and knowledgeable. 100% would recommend for any behavior or obedience training!

    Photo of The training may feel odd at first, but is is so effective. My dog has separation anxiety and is reactive towards/distrusting of other dogs and people. After just one session Rookie was already a bit calmer, his demeanor has changed already. There’s a lot of consistent work for us to do, but for the first time since we got him, I finally have hope. And Sarah (the BB trainer in my area) is amazing, kind, and so easy to talk to. It’s worth the investment.

    Trainer Note:
    Thank you Justine for you Google Review! Yes being able to communicate with your dog is odd at first!! Rookie is so good at learning and I’m excited to see how much he learns from you two as the training goes on. He is one lucky dog to be living with you both and I can see how much he improved that day. I can’t wait to see you all again 🐾

    Photo of Ms Shimmer Steve spent only 3 hrs with me and my tiny 3.5 pound Biewer Terrier and the results were immediate! Ms Shimmer used to bark at TV commercials, every time I was on Zoom, when my phone rang or my printer was printing, when the buzzer rang and at hearing any noise in the hallway of my apt building. She had a stranger-danger issue, morning, noon and night, even at 3am. I am still reinforcing her training, of course, but one command when she barks will stop her, plus a lot of love when she obeys. She is walking next to me now and not pulling. Steve was great at teaching me too on how to behave in a way to take command! Definitely worth the expense to get instant results without loading Shimmer up with unnecessary treats. Shimmer and I have a new relationship and peace again reigns! Both of us are happier now and my neighbors appreciate the quiet too! Definitely recommend giving Bark Busters a try!

    We worked with Cassidy after our 80lb dog Bruno nipped at our 10 month old. We had the most incredible experience from start to where we are now with Cassidy (until more life changes happen!) Bruno is a good boy who had a bad day so he took to the training seamlessly, he just needed adjust to our new lifestyle and we needed to be the ones to correct him and keep him calm so he can live his best life. And Bruno is happier for it! You guys are the best and I am so thankful!

    Chris is super communicative and just what Mason needed as a trainer. Mason is a very reactive Corgi that barks at anything and nothing at the same time. Chris has given me a lot of tools to build a stronger relationship with Mason and ensure that we can effectively communicate with each other.

    We have a 2 year-old male dog. We love our little guy but were concerned because he reacts aggressively towards some dogs, and we were worried that he might bite the other dog. He also sometimes barks uncontrollably. My wife and I tried various approaches to see if we could correct his behavior with no luck. We found Bark Busters and from their description of their approach sounded very promising. We had our first appointment with Josh Furchess and he was very informative as to how we could change our dog’s attitude. He went over things in detail explaining why our dog was behaving the way he was. Josh spent several hours with us going over the exercises and guiding us on how to work with our dog. After the first session we were amazed at the change in our dog’s attitude and how he listened better. We have been practicing with our dog over the past couple of days and now understand how to be more effective in how we communicate with him. We are very pleased with the quick change in his behavior. We were pleasantly surprised that he behaved very well around other dogs when we took him for recent walks. There has been a dramatic improvement in just a few days, and we like the fact that Bark Busters is there for you for the life of your dog. Josh was very responsive and said that he was available if we needed his help and that he would check on us periodically to see how we are doing. We aren’t sure how other dogs may respond, but we were very happy with the results and are looking forward to seeing our dog continue to improve as we work with him more.

    Photo of Teddy & Bear The techniques used made a huge positive impact on both of our puppies' behaviors. They were both extremely responsive to all of our lessons. John definitely helped us speak dog!
