    Scott at Bark Busters is incredible.

    I was blown away at how effective our first session was at correcting dominating and reactive behavior with my anxious 5-year-old cattle dog, Dallas.

    No treats, shock callers, or clickers necessary! I’d recommend Scott and Bark Busters to anyone that needs assistance training their dogs

    I have a dachshund that barks at everything and is extremely stubborn. Halfway through his first session with Patrick, his barking was "solved". I was actually worried that my stubborn, anxious pup was upset that he was being corrected but I later realized that he is just CALM and im not used to seeing that. 100% recommend. If you keep an open mind, and commit to changing the way you act with your pup, the results are literally instant. I cant wait for my next visit. Thank you, Patrick!

    Photo of Lou After a long search to find a trainer for our pup "Lou", we decided to contact Bark Busters and it was definitely the right decision. We needed some help with Lou with severe separation anxiety as well as overall behavior such as jumping on people, chewing and biting, and leash training. James met with us for an initial long training session and after that we could already see positive results. The follow-up sessions with James in person and through text have been so helpful and it is so reassuring to know that we can call James anytime with any concerns. The techniques that James offered are amazing and it was great to be able to see James work with Lou and then help coach us through the training methods as well. We have a ways to go with Lou but everyday we see improvement and are able to reinforce with proven methods that work! Thank you Bark Busters!

    It only took day 1 to see a difference in our dogs. Patrick is the real deal. If you have been feeling lost or resentful towards your dogs like I have I strongly suggest Patrick with Bark Busters!

    Photo of Laney James has helped me become a happy dog owner and my fur baby, Laney, a happier and calmer dog. Laney is a shelter rescue. When I first adopted her, she had no connection to the person on the other end of the leash. Pulling wasn’t the only issue; she was highly reactive around other dogs. I'm a shelter volunteer and had walked her numerous times and she never reacted around other dogs. But after a couple weeks of having her, that changed. It got so bad I dreaded walking her. I watched dog training videos online, read a Cesar Milan book and not much changed. What I liked about Bark Busters is that they work with you and your dog. So many places want you to hand over your dog for training. That made zero sense to me. James’ training methods are thoughtful and kind. And he respects an owner’s dog-training desires and the dog’s personality. What I learned about dogs and training from him is invaluable. What Laney has learned is that she can walk right by my side, enjoy her walks, and feel safe.

    Claudia and I were looking for a professional to help us with our new family member, Mattie, a 4 year old Yorkie.

    She is a wonderful addition to our family and, as I hadn't had a dog for the past 40 years and Claudia has never had the opportunity to have a pet, we needed some professional help.

    We ran across Bob from Bark Busters who had incredible reviews from the people he has helped, and we have to add our praise as well.

    Bob is very patient, knowledgeable, and we couldn't be more pleased with the help he provided us.

    Maddie is a very good girl, but Bob helped us understand her behavior and, even more importantly, how our actions and reactions to her could provide a much more enjoyable and meaningful relationship.

    We unconditionally recommend Bob who helped Maddie become a more trusting and loving member of our family and, perhaps more importantly, make us better parents.

    If you have similar need to ours, you need to look no further than Bob.

    2 sessions in and so far so good, no miracle fixes as it does take time to complete the big picture (but we feel happy and are having fun with the progress) and it should be noted the method is to train the humans to lead. It is very interesting and eye opening when you start to realize how much you inadvertently allow your pooch to lead.
    Our trainer is Erin Miller and she seems very passionate and knowledgeable, a person that seems to want to know each clients individual needs and is very easy to work with.

    Moose and I had our first training session with Bonnie she was wonderful! Moose still needs a lot of work, but I am hopeful that the more work we do with Bonnie, and the more comfortable he becomes with our new home that he will be much calmer and happier. Thank you Bonnie!

    Photo of Jack Ryanne has been incredible, I can highly recommend her to anyone with a dog with behavioral issues! We have a very stubborn mini dachshund who showed territorial aggression and excessive marking and barking. We have only had a handful of sessions with Ryanne, but our dog has shown improvements we would not have believed a couple of weeks ago. He is able to stay overnight in his own crate without wining, we can eat in peace without him harassing us, his barking has reduced by 80-90%, and we have learned very easy-to-use techniques to help him calm down more quickly when we have visitors. We love Bark Busters focus on communication techniques rather than treats or punishments, as we can use these techniques anywhere.

    Ryanne has also been very responsive and often checks in with us. Bark Busters is well worth the price, which is very affordable compared to similar companies who typically do not offer as many in-home training hours or follow-up appointments.

    Johnny Jumper was awesome and definitely made a difference in my sweet angelic dog Enzo just after the first session 😃♥️ He was clear in the fact that it’s a joint effort and I have a job to do as well. Consistency is key! I highly suggest Johnny Jumper! 😃
