The training was top tier. When we were about to lose hope with our puppy. Orlando helped us building our trust with our dog. If I could give Bark Busters 10 stars I would give them 100!!

We can’t recommend Kyle highly enough! He worked with both of our dogs, who are completely different in age, size, and temperament, and tailored his approach to meet each of their individual needs.
PermalinkFrom our very first session, Kyle was patient, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to listen to our concerns, explain the reasoning behind each technique, and gave us practical, research-based strategies that were easy to implement. His positive approach not only helped our dogs learn but also gave us the confidence to become better owners.
One of the things we appreciated most is that Kyle is committed to force-free, humane training. He strongly advocates for positive reinforcement and is firmly against the use of shock collars or other aversive methods. It was reassuring to know we were building a trusting relationship with our dogs rather than relying on fear or punishment.
The progress we’ve seen has been amazing, and our dogs are happier, more confident, and better behaved because of Kyle’s guidance. If you’re looking for a trainer who is compassionate, professional, evidence-based, and genuinely invested in both dogs and their owners, Kyle is the person to call.

When I first met Kyle, I had recently lost my beloved dog, Primrose, and was fostering a 1-year-old German Shepherd named Dash while also raising my 16-week-old puppy, Aurora. I truly wanted to make Dash a permanent member of our family, and I tried everything I could to help him succeed. Kyle worked closely with me throughout that process, and when it became clear that Dash's reactivity and unpredictability made him unsafe around children, he gave me the reassurance I needed to make the incredibly difficult decision not to finalize the adoption. Looking back, I know it was the right choice, and I'll always be grateful for his honest guidance during such an emotional time.
PermalinkOne of the best parts of Bark Busters is that my membership covers every dog in my home, so Kyle has continued working with me as Aurora has grown. He has been an invaluable source of education, encouragement, and practical advice. Rather than offering unrealistic expectations or quick fixes, he helps me set achievable goals, understand Aurora's behavior, and develop clear, realistic plans to help her become a confident, well-mannered dog.
Kyle genuinely cares about both dogs and their owners. He takes the time to listen, answer questions, and tailor his recommendations to each individual situation. I always leave our conversations feeling more knowledgeable, more confident, and better equipped to help my dog succeed.
If you're looking for a behavioral trainer who is honest, compassionate, knowledgeable, and committed to helping you build a better relationship with your dog, I highly recommend Kyle at Bark Busters.

cot was wonderful. He taught me to be a leader not Addison. She is learning that I am the leader. I took her out side were there is people and she didn’t bark at them. They couldn’t believe it. She is learning not to be aggressive to the cat. Thank you Scott. I recommend Scott to help others with there dogs. She is looking at the window but not barking.

We had the pleasure of working with Scot today, and couldn't be more pleased! We have been struggling to get our puppy Buster's resource guarding and aggression under control. His response to Scot's intervention was immediate. We are so impressed and amazed at how much we learned in our first session! Scot is professional, personable and made us feel so much better about the process in general. We are definitely very happy with the results and would highly recommend his services! We're looking forward to working toward a happier, healthier relationship with our pup. Thanks, Scot!

Scot worked with us to help train our 11 month old rescue dog. He was kind and patient and gave us informative and thoughtful advice. Willing to answer our many questions and offer helpful advice. We left feeling more confident that we can better handle our dog.

I would give Scot a million stars if I could. We had our first session with him today and I am already seeing a huge difference in my dog. We initially reached out to Scot for assistance in nipping behavior with our dog and he truly helped us dive deeper into why he is making the choice to do that. He helped us to understand how our dog thinks and taught us multiple exercises to start teaching him that we could guide him in making decisions and start to take control back from him. Although he was stern with the exercises he kept the session fun and made sure to give us and our dog reassurances that no one is perfect but that we can work with our dog to reach a desired outcome with lots of practice and dedication to working with him. As someone who has used other trainers before and couldn’t get the issue addressed, I could not recommend Scot enough. He doesn’t just address the issue, he addresses the root and reasoning behind the issue and helps you to see ways to prevent your dog from even thinking about doing the undesired behaviors.

Mark came out to our house to work with us and our two pups. He was able to teach us how to communicate effectively with them both. It immediately started to change how the dogs acted. He also provided several techniques to help in many different situations to help us be more in control.
