Michael was great! Within 45 minutes of the first visit, my dog felt like a new animal! He gives great instruction with simple techniques. I needed a solution but was worried I couldn’t do it, I now realize what works! Best $$ I have ever spent, having an improved understanding on how my dog operates has given me much peace!

Deb is an amazing trainer! She takes the time to explain how dogs communicate and the best ways to get through to them. I love the tools she provides as it does not require treats or any physical punishment. Her methods are easy to understand and can beneficial in many different situations. I would highly recommend her to anyone with a dog!

We have a New Leash on life! After our 1st session with Sharon, we are confident we are on the road to easing the severe separation anxiety our Sparky has. He came to us in January after being rescued from Helene and losing his mom. We love him so much, and wanted to help him be happy when we aren't home. We tried everything, we thought, then called Bark Busters. We know it will take time, but we feel sure we now have the tools needed to speak Dog language. I'll update in 2 months, but he was so responsive today, it was really remarkable. We highly recommend Sharon.

Ryanne and Omar with Bark Busters are absolutely incredible! They recently came to my home to evaluate the temperaments of a litter of 7 week old puppies, and I was so impressed with their knowledgeable, professional, and caring approach. They truly know how to “speak dog” and have such a deep understanding of behavior—it was amazing to watch.
PermalinkTheir insight made it easy to see each puppy’s unique personality, which gave me confidence in matching every puppy with the right family. I’ve also seen the amazing results they’ve had with training dogs and the families I work with.
I can’t recommend Ryanne and Omar enough—they are knowledgeable, compassionate, and always put the dogs’ best interest first.
Your kind words mean a lot, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to support you and the families you work with. Thank you for trusting us!

We had a great first time visit with Omar. He listened to our needs regarding our dog and was very informative and helpful in setting up a plan to address our concerns going forward. Both my wife and I were throughly impressed and are excited that we have a plan to help correct our dogs behavioral issues.

I couldn’t say enough great things about Bark Busters. Ryanne and Omar were super quick to respond to my inquiry, cleared up all my worries and confusion, with great communication and planning. Ryanne and Omar were fair and intentional when it came to the evaluation. I’d highly recommend partnering with Bark Busters, whether it is training or evaluation- stress free, friendly people and they showed my pup love and saw his potential.

Omar has been a blessing! Acquired an older dog from my parents with absolutely no training. Within 2 sessions (have more scheduled) he has taught me so much on how get my Daisy to walk without pulling. Snapping at my children or anyone else coming close to me while she’s on my lap! He also taught us how to handle our other dogs constant need to be petted and attention. Absolute game changer in our household.

We realized we needed a behavioral trainer when our dog began to occasionally snap at some family members. She had been a bit unruly already but we weren't totally concerned until then. Jared came out to our house and we started with Kali put away. We just kind of talked about the issues we were having with her and what we wish she would see in her. We discussed how some things are trainable and others are personality issues that would need to be more about us controlling the environment. Then we gently introduced her and he got to see her silly craziness in action. I think right off the bat, Jared realized that Kali was walking all over us and that it was causing both her as the dog and us as the owners some anxiety. He taught us how to be the owner and treat her like an actual dog so that she would not feel the need to be the mom protect protecting her little pups. She has become a lot more trainable, less anxious, and brings us a lot more joy. Jared has been coming out regularly to teach us new training techniques as well as checking in to see how we're feeling about her progress. Our biggest thing is that Jared helps us stay accountable with the training. Because it's not a pay per session type of training business model, we know that Jared does this because he enjoys working with dogs and bettering them through their owner. He has been super helpful and we are seeing progress in Kali every day.

I must tell you I was skeptical when we hired Bark Busters to help with the behavioral problems we were having with our adopted dog Cheeto. Omar came to our house and spent 4 hours with us and our dog. His patient techniques and teaching style, coupled with his vast knowledge of dog behaviors proved to be highly effective. After just one session, Cheeto is extremely well behaved and our home is a completely different place. I HIGHLY recommend Omar and Bark Busters to anyone seeking to understand your dog and that needs to learn skills to address unwanted behaviors. Well worth every penny and the best thing we ever did for Cheeto! Amazing trainer whose love for dogs and what he does shines through in amazing results!!!
PermalinkThank you for your wonderful review! I'm so glad to hear about your success with Cheeto and I'm thrilled to be a part of your journey. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any further support.
Best,
Omar

We reached out to Bark Busters when we were preparing our dog Ollie for a major life change—a new baby in the house. From day one, the experience exceeded our expectations.
PermalinkOur trainer, was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thoughtful in their approach. They didn’t just teach Ollie—they taught us how to communicate in a way he understands. The methods were gentle, effective, and built around trust and consistency.
What impressed us most was how tailored the training was to our home and lifestyle. It wasn’t a one-size-fits-all approach—it was a plan that respected Ollie’s personality and our family dynamics. The confidence we’ve gained as dog owners has been just as valuable as the progress Ollie has made.
Now that our baby has arrived, Ollie is calm, respectful of boundaries, and still the sweet dog we’ve always loved. We’re incredibly grateful to Bark Busters for helping make this transition so smooth.
Highly recommend for any dog owner—whether you're dealing with behavioral challenges or just want a better relationship with your pup. Worth every penny.
Best, Ryanne & Omar Rubio
