Josh helped us address Milo's reactivity/ barking in different scenarios including new guests entering the home, and how to correct his behavior. We also covered leash walking techniques. We found positive results immediately and found the training to be an encouraging experience.

Milo has been really stressed with a new baby in the home. Today we started to teach him how to be calm and relax with the baby in the home. We worked on starting to separate from him in small scales to address his separation anxiety with great success.

I was very happy to see Lucy respond to the walking exercises we did with Karen.

Really great session today with Trixie! She responded very well to our training techniques. Terry was really pleased, now he has the tools to continue being consistent. We worked on her door manners and also addressed her leash manners.

Jeff was awesome! I am already amazed by the change in behavior i see in Rufus. He gives me hope that I'll be able to get his reactivity under control. Thank you!

Long story short: Ben has worked miracles for our family and really helped our dog grow more comfortable with her place in our "pack," especially after a chaotic introduction to having a newborn at home. Now, baby + pup can play together and mom + dad have confidence and trust in their behavior!

The whole story (for anyone who's curious or debating hiring Bark Busters for your family - do it!): From the very first questionnaire I filled out online, I felt like this style of dog training would be the right solution for our family. I felt like our dog was good, not great - she doesn't beg, listens to a few commands, but barks like crazy and doesn't get along well with other dogs around. And at eight months pregnant with our first baby on the way, we knew it was smart to have a dog trainer start helping us.

Our first session went beautifully and the tools Ben set us up with seemed to really work. Right away, we noticed a difference and we were able to work with our dog on several key target behaviors. She even grew more comfortable with strangers (a contractor at the time) coming into the house.

When we brought our newborn baby home for the first time, it was extremely chaotic. Despite our early training and giving her baby stuff to smell, it was clear that our dog was NOT ready and not feeling friendly. We couldn't have them in the same room together without the dog being overly excited and on edge, and she barked at every baby cry.

We called Ben from a place of desperation and he calmly talked us through each step of the way. We followed his direction and training plan for several weeks and made huge progress. By 2-3 months old, I am so happy/proud/relieved to say that both baby and pup are now friends. They can be in the same room, on the same couch, pup can approach and gently lick baby's face, and then walk away.

This is so huge for our family, and we are extremely grateful. We have so much peace and confidence knowing that down the road, should we ever need a training refresher or need advice, we have Ben to call.

Our first session was very informative & far more rewarding than expected. Karen was patient and authentic.

We were all amazed at our young pup started to sit and stay almost immediately (never saw her sit before she's so hyper!) And Robert addressed each of our concerns and questions and that's a lot of questions for humans LOL

Trainer Note:
She is a smart cookie...probably too smart. But that is going to make all of our jobs a lot tougher.

Let's be honest, it's really about training the humans. We feel empowered with truly simple behavioral commands and a plan!

Trainer Note:
We had a really great first session today! We addressed the main issue which was potty training. We also helped reduced the dog's overall stress. We also addressed their door manners, leash manners, and barking! Now that Eric has all the tools to continue guiding them, they will continue to improve.

The change in Bear’s behavior was immediate. We were provided clear representation of what our behavior and actions should look like to continue this change on Bear’s behavior
