    My husband and I got our boy, Gumbo, back in 2022. We realized quite quickly that we needed some help figuring out how to best "train/parent" him. We were looking for someone who could be there with us throughout Gumbo's life journey and could be a reliable, consistent, person for us to count on when we had questions and someone who knew him well enough to know exactly what he was needing. Yep, pretty tall order to fill. Fortunately, Bark Busters connected us with Kevin and WOW, have we gotten what we were promised and then some!!

    Kevin astutely noted that some of our initial challenges were due to us wanting to do things the right way and in turn, putting a lot of pressure of Gumbo to know what to do without us providing him the clear consistently and confidence he needed from his pack leaders. Kevin applied a well proven method to training that was rooted in helping us build the strongest relationship we could with Gumbo. We learned how to navigate having guests over, reactivity to the door bell and other loud sounds, managing anxiety related to fireworks, building healthy "social skills" with other dogs/humans, improving "walking etiquette" and leash control, and developing a clear way of communicating with Gumbo. Our pup leaves the sessions with Kevin both exhausted and relaxed -- knowing that he and his parents are even more connected now! We owe so much to Kevin, who has truly been a lifesaver for us and has made it possible for Gumbo to live an incredibly rich life now.

    For anyone considering the service, do it. It's worth every penny. Thank you so much Kevin and Bark Busters!

    Photo of Dani We have had one session with Deb, but she has been so great and Dani is responding very well to the homework that she gave us. I have texted Deb with a few questions before our next appointment, and she always responds in a timely manner with helpful, thorough answers! I love the approach that Bark Busters takes on helping people understand their dogs behaviors, and would recommend this service!

    Photo of Vinny Steve is the best. He saw right away where we needed help and within 15 minutes, things with our Vinny were on a more positive path. He knows exactly what he's doing and is incredibly patient with us as dog parents. Thank you, Steve!

    We learned so much about dog behavior and alpha (dog leadership) behavior. We feel so much more empowered to understand our dogs' actions. We saw an immediate change in our dogs in various situations during our first session. We are so hopeful and grateful!

    Basahhhh! We now speak dog! Thanks so much to Scott for helping us with Penny’s issues. In just a short amount of time we became head of the house instead of her. We highly recommend Scott and his methods of training!

    Bark Busters has completely changed both my life and my dog’s! I was close to re-homing my third dog because of his behavior—he was resource guarding and attacking the other dogs when I was around.
    After starting training with Karen and learning the Bark Busters methods, everything turned around. He is now the best-behaved of all my dogs, and our relationship has never been stronger.
    I’m so grateful for this program
    and highly recommend it to anyone struggling with their dog’s behavior or just want to teach your dog important training! Comes with all the tools and information needed and easy to implement into my day to day.

    Photo of BeShaun Orlando helped us get DeShaun on the leash and taught us how to gain his trust. He also taught us how to get him in and out of doors.

    Photo of Penny Baahhh! Scott taught us to speak “dog”. We were amazed at how fast she learned that she was no longer in charge of the house. We were so impressed with Scott and how patient he was with us. Highly recommend!

    Photo of Maple We are very happy with Mariah’s approach to training our dog some of the most basic obedience. It is more geared toward training us the owner on how to train our dog which is a far better way in my opinion than leaving her in a place to be trained away from her home. Mariah is very knowledgable, friendly and will create a training regime tailored perfectly to the dog and family.
