We have three dogs of different ages and breeds and there can be chaos in the house at times. Immediately after Robert stepped into the house and started implementing his techniques we saw improvement with our dog’s behaviors. Their barking and jumping was able to be controlled. Robert clearly explained his techniques and how to perform them and why they work. He then worked with us to ensure we grasped how to follow what he did and make sure our dogs listened to us. The improvement we saw in just a few hours convinced us we made the right decision in calling Robert for his help! Robert is great!!

It was a productive traning session. We learned leash training setting boundaries and overall leadership. Orlando was a amazing trainer and was able to answer any questions we had. We are very happy with our session.

We adopted a ~3yo male bull terrier mix from a shelter and needed help getting him settled in. He is nervous around men, especially tall men, and was starting to get very overly protective of our home. "Boot camp" options seemed extreme, so I called Bark Busters (BB), seeking in-home private lessons. Justin responded the same day I left a message, and we talked about my concerns with our new rescue. I decided to try the BB program, which ended up being the BEST DECISION for my pup and for me! Justin set up our first session with trainer/coach James. James spent much of the 1st session going through the goals, objectives and concepts of training, including a timeline based on reasonable expectations of my dog. James spent a lot of time explaining how to "read" my dog's behavior, and how to properly respond. He explained the concepts behind each step, which helped me to understand not just what to do, but why (thus enabling me to understand how to deploy the training to different situations). James also set up scenarios to practice, going through each step so I could gain confidence in what my role is while helping my dog settle. It really is about training the owner how to work with the dog. James provided summaries of each session, plus videos demonstrating how I can use different responses/techniques to reshape how my dog reacts to stressful situations. I saw significant progress very early in the training, and was surprised at how quickly we were able to help my dog understand his role (and to feel safe) in our home. The best part is that if I need more help, I just have to reach out to James/BB and schedule more sessions - this is included in the initial program. Given that it takes a rescue dog a while to COMPLETELY settle in, new issues could arise as time passes, and if so, all I have to do is call to set it up. In summary, Bark Busters is a GREAT dog training program, and James is a FANTASTIC BB trainer/coach! Definitely recommend BB to owners that want help with their dogs!

Johnny helped us with our 2 dogs as we transitioned into our new home. One of our dogs is super anxious and reacts by barking and gets our other dog worked up to the point where they are both always on edge. Johnny was great at showing us techniques and drills on how we can work with our dogs to help with the reactivity and anxiety. One of our dogs is not food driven so we thought this was going to be an issue but Johnny was very patient and found the reward that motivated our dog. Johnny spent multiple sessions at our home learning about our dogs and we saw progress after the first session but even more so as we continued working with him. Johnny helped us be more confident as owners and our dogs more content in their new home. Thank you Bark Busters!

10/10 would recommend Ryan and his team. It’s very evident from our first lesson and follow up that he truly understands dogs and their behaviors in addition to their humans! We had a follow up with Ryan since our guard dog has been picking up a new behavior (barking and charging the fence when people walk by) and pulling on the leash. Ryan came out to us within the week and was able to help us get the behaviors back under control. We thought we were doing everything right and it turns out myself and husband were missing a crucial step in his training. Cowboy was more placating us instead of listening/respecting. With the help of Ryan, we are all back on track and doing great!

We've been very pleased with Sharon at Bark Busters. This is our first puppy....in 25 years...so it's been great to relearn the do's and don'ts, especially now that we're retired and have more time...to pay attention :) Would highly recommend them as a solid INVESTMENT in making your long-term DOGGY relationship, the BEST it can be. It's great knowing we can get advice...whenever we need it.

Pam was wonderful to work with during a really emotional time for our family. After our dog Oakley bit me on the 4th of July, Pam helped us understand Oakley’s behavior by explaining things in a way that was simple and easy to follow. She took the time to listen and was incredibly understanding of how upsetting the experience was for me.
PermalinkOakley loved her right away, which made the process feel even more reassuring. Pam showed us a few simple techniques that made an immediate difference, and we started seeing improvements right away. We’re so grateful for her patience, compassion, and expertise.
We would not hesitate to recommend Pam for any of your dog training needs. She's simply the BEST!!

We decided to hire a trainer for our dogs as our baby was starting to be mobile and wanted to learn how to correctly handle any unwanted behavior. Our dogs were not total menaces but not angels either when we started. Brandon has made this an amazing experience for us- our dogs are living in harmony with the baby, the barking at the window has been all but eliminated, and taking walks is beginning to be enjoyable! We’ve noticed a huge change for the better in the dogs and Brandon has given us the confidence to guide them. He also has taken the time to get to know our family and understand our needs. I cannot recommend him enough, he’s improved our lives!

Sharon at Bark Busters has really helped me develop the right behaviors to bring out the best in my beautiful Bernie doodle...BAYOU. I've never really trained a puppy before, but Sharon breaks down the skills and demonstrates them so well... we get a nearly instant response. Bark Busters can help you with short-term issues...or like us...you can have her be available for the life of your dog....as their (your) needs change. It's a GREAT INVESTMENT in a well-behaved and happier fur friend.
