Bark Busters Reviews

Before finding Bark Busters, I was so traumatized because of a bad training experience we had in the past with someone else. Honestly I was so excited when I found Bark Busters because I learned that they don't use any physically punishing methods with dogs and that's just what I was looking for. Karen was amazing - super respectful, kind, my dog ​​was very happy during our training session, and his behavior was incredible. I recommend Karen 100%. My dog was having some aggression issues and bad recall but I’m so confident now that I will be able to train my dog without making him feel scared or hurt him. If you love your dog as much as I love mine then Karen and Bark Busters training is perfect for you.

We have a Rottweiler mix from a shelter who was reactive and has bitten a stranger. We have struggled with his insecurity which manifested as aggression. Holly has been working with us and our pup, Moose, with building his confidence and establishing ourselves as alpha. The simple techniques of showing Moose that we are the Alphas to keep our home and the people in it safe was a game changer. Moose didn’t want to be in charge of guarding the house and it made him explode with anxiety and aggression. Holly trained us on how to commute out leadership to Moose. This then paved the way for properly teaching obedience skills and how to curb his reactive behavior in public. Holly’s philosophy and techniques are simple, effective and all of our anxiety levels have calmed. There is nothing scarier or more heartbreaking when your beloved dog is reactive and bites someone. Holly’s help literally saved Moose’s life. We look forward to continuing our work with our dog to help him be a happy, secure, and safe best friend.

I have seen so much improvement in my dog, Emma. We adopted her from a shelter and in the time she was there she developed a lot of bad habits that were so hard to break that it became beyond me to fix. My boyfriend and I were at our last end with her when we reached out to Theresa. Emma is also training to be a service dog for me so a lot of these training exercises were so crucial for her to learn and perfect before we could continue. Before the training she would jump on people, wouldn’t come to us when we called her, would chew everything up that we owned, would go absolutely ballistic in her kennel when we left, would use the bathroom in the house, and would pull on her leash so hard I would lose circulation in my hand trying to control her. 3 1/2 weeks in and she hasn’t destroyed anything, she doesn’t pull anymore, she walks right at my side, the jumping is minimal, the attention seeking is minimal, she doesn’t bolt out the door and waits for us to call her out the door, the kennel anxiety has dramatically decreased, and we can finally look away from her for 2 seconds without being terrified that she’s going to mess something up or get herself in trouble and we can finally relax. She’s so much more enjoyable to be around now and I think she’s more relaxed as well and she even seems so much happier with us.
