Miguel was fantastic with my dog--and with me! Lola is a Great Pyr-Lab mix, age 5, who is high energy, pulls on the leash, and barks loudly at passersby, especially those with dogs. Miguel gave me a new leash that has worked wonders. Now I enjoy walking her. He also taught me how to manage her very loud barking at people at the front door, laying down in her bed so as not to drive me nuts when I'm trying to read or work on the computer. Miguel is also very kind. Due to a serious health condition I've developed recently, in which I can't risk being pulled over or jumped on, he has been looking for a foster or forever home for Lola. I recommend Miguel 1,000%!!! He is excellent at his craft and a natural dog whisperer!

Sharon was absolutely amazing with my little Copper! We were struggling with excessive barking and nipping whenever someone left the house or walked by outside. In just one three-hour session, Sharon not only showed me how to properly handle these situations but also helped Copper make incredible progress immediately. What impressed me most was that even after Sharon left, Copper responded to the techniques the very next day and showed a whole new level of respect and manners. He truly feels like a different dog now. Our bond has become even stronger, and our cuddle time is so much more enjoyable with the new level of trust and listening we’ve built together. I’m so grateful for Sharon’s patience, knowledge, and guidance!

My dog had extreme separation anxiety. He would claw at the door and jump for over 30 minutes or more if left alone that long. I wanted to get at the heart of the problem and not use scare tactics for an already terrified dog. Sharon’s training helped him realize I was coming back using gestures and body language. He started calming down right away on our very first training session with Sharon.. I’m now able to leave him without crating him and with no scratching or jumping at the door. The tools really worked. They were not treat based, they are not punishment based. We used dog psychology. It was amazing!

Google Review: "We had such a wonderful experience with Bark Busters Home Dog Training. Rachel and Betty Lou were incredibly patient, kind, and knowledgeable with our dog Ivey. They stayed with us for over an hour, answered all of our questions, and made both me and my mom feel comfortable and encouraged through the whole process.
PermalinkThey worked hands-on with Ivey using calm guidance, and we already saw a difference in her behavior. They helped teach her how to stay calmer when someone comes to the door and showed us techniques we can continue using every day.
You can truly tell they care about both the dogs and the people they help. Their patience, professionalism, and kindness meant so much to us. I highly recommend Bark Busters to anyone needing help with their dog!"

Luis was extremely helpful with guiding us and teaching us how to properly show our puppy Skye some boundaries around the house. As well as training her how to calmly walk with us on our outings.

James is absolutely amazing!! We reached out to Bark Busters because our rescue German Shepherd/Husky mix had experienced a difficult reactive regression after having surgery on both of her hind legs. My husband and I had also recently had our own surgeries - so Jazzee had grown fearful and anxious.
PermalinkLots of jumping and somewhat aggressive, hyper behavior - especially in the presence of other dogs. I had grown anxious just walking her.
From the VERY beginning, James was extremely kind, calm and knowledgeable. After just a few minutes of observation, he recommended a leash change and some behavior modifications - all while encouraging us to reward her with lots of love when she was successful! I love how he clearly cared for her.
Within just a few weeks we have a totally different dog!! She is far more calm, can sit quietly as other dogs walk by - and is even fairly calm now when there are many dogs around. We are soo grateful and look forward to working more with James in the future. He is wonderful!! We would recommend him to anyone!

We could not be happier with our results from James. He's absolutely amazing. We saw such a huge difference after just the very first session, it honestly shocked us. Honestly, this has been some of the best money we've ever spent.
PermalinkWe have a 7-month-old Golden Retriever puppy and an 8-year-old pitbull mix, Molly, and both of them have improved so much already.
Our puppy picked up corrections and commands incredibly fast, and after that first day we knew we were in the right hands.
We've been working on manners, leash training, barking, overexcitement with guests, counter surfing, and more.
With Molly, we honestly thought she was too set in her ways and that the barking would never improve, but James completely proved us wrong. Her behavior has gotten significantly better. It's been such a relief because we were really starting to think the chaos was just our normal.
James has been patient, knowledgeable, and so easy to work with. Highly recommend him to anyone struggling with their dogs.

Bark Busters training absolutely transformed the dynamic with our two beloved pit bull rescues!!
PermalinkAs dog-owners for 18 years, it was extremely disheartening to be experiencing such a difficult time with these two otherwise sweet and affectionate dogs. Both were very reactive to other dogs, cats, squirrels, birds, etc. and walks had become a dreaded task. One was extremely fearful and reactive to loud noises. After numerous incidents of being dragged or knocked over during walks, we decided to look into some training. Within one session, James taught us how to communicate effectively with them and gave us skills to practice to achieve calm, relaxing walks with our pups. It is well worth the time and the expense to give it a try. We wish we had done it sooner instead of spending a fortune on dozens of leashes, "no-pull" harnesses, prong collars, even pet store training classes that never, never fixed the problem. The method James teaches WORKS!! It is not an exaggeration to say it was life-changing for our family!!
And in the span of just a few weeks, I have never seen our two dogs, Honey & Cookie, more confident and content.

Highly recommend! Barbara has been amazing with my dog. After the first visit alone, I saw such a big difference in his manners. Not only has it been great for my dog, but for me as the owner. Barbara has helped me gain such a boost in confidence in training him also.
