    Photo of Chanel, Dolly, Gigi Recently my daughter, along with our 3 dogs , and I moved from a large home with a large fenced yard to an apartment. This move had a very negative affect on our dogs who were never leash trained along with barking issues from many other dogs in the building. Heard great things about Bark Busters so hired them and had one session today. We already see improvement with the lessons we learned to guide our dogs into a happy, safe life at the new place. ( after the first day!)

    Michael was great! Within 45 minutes of the first visit, my dog felt like a new animal! He gives great instruction with simple techniques. I needed a solution but was worried I couldn’t do it, I now realize what works! Best $$ I have ever spent, having an improved understanding on how my dog operates has given me much peace!

    Photo of Joey and Nala We can’t say enough great things about working with Justin from Bark Busters! About a year ago we welcomed our golden retriever puppy, Nala, into our family to join our already spoiled 12lb terrier mix, Joey, (who has the energy of a much bigger dog). Once Nala joined us, we quickly noticed some sibling rivalry, roughhousing to determine who was in charge, anxious/fearful energy toward visitors and noises, and some reactivity to other dogs. Walks became the part of the day we dreaded most—our dogs pulled us in different directions, which left our backs aching, and we often felt like they were walking us instead of the other way around.

    We had tried other positive reinforcement trainings, and while they helped a bit, when things got really stimulating even the best treats weren’t enough. From the very first session with Justin, everything changed. He gave us tools that immediately made us feel more equipped to handle all situations, more confident as leaders, and consistent in setting boundaries. Most importantly, he showed us how to keep our dogs in the “green zone”—happy, calm, and thriving.

    We continue to feel supported as we refine our ability to “speak” our dogs’ language and truly be understood. The progress we’ve seen has been amazing, and we’re so grateful for the positive changes in both of our pups. Thanks to Justin, we finally feel like we’re enjoying our dogs to the fullest, and we’re confident they’ll continue to thrive.

    Photo of Jack Deb is an amazing trainer! She takes the time to explain how dogs communicate and the best ways to get through to them. I love the tools she provides as it does not require treats or any physical punishment. Her methods are easy to understand and can beneficial in many different situations. I would highly recommend her to anyone with a dog!

    We have a New Leash on life! After our 1st session with Sharon, we are confident we are on the road to easing the severe separation anxiety our Sparky has. He came to us in January after being rescued from Helene and losing his mom. We love him so much, and wanted to help him be happy when we aren't home. We tried everything, we thought, then called Bark Busters. We know it will take time, but we feel sure we now have the tools needed to speak Dog language. I'll update in 2 months, but he was so responsive today, it was really remarkable. We highly recommend Sharon.

    Ryanne and Omar with Bark Busters are absolutely incredible! They recently came to my home to evaluate the temperaments of a litter of 7 week old puppies, and I was so impressed with their knowledgeable, professional, and caring approach. They truly know how to “speak dog” and have such a deep understanding of behavior—it was amazing to watch.
    Their insight made it easy to see each puppy’s unique personality, which gave me confidence in matching every puppy with the right family. I’ve also seen the amazing results they’ve had with training dogs and the families I work with.
    I can’t recommend Ryanne and Omar enough—they are knowledgeable, compassionate, and always put the dogs’ best interest first.

    Photo of Doc We had a great first time visit with Omar. He listened to our needs regarding our dog and was very informative and helpful in setting up a plan to address our concerns going forward. Both my wife and I were throughly impressed and are excited that we have a plan to help correct our dogs behavioral issues.

    Photo of Torii I couldn’t say enough great things about Bark Busters. Ryanne and Omar were super quick to respond to my inquiry, cleared up all my worries and confusion, with great communication and planning. Ryanne and Omar were fair and intentional when it came to the evaluation. I’d highly recommend partnering with Bark Busters, whether it is training or evaluation- stress free, friendly people and they showed my pup love and saw his potential.

    Omar has been a blessing! Acquired an older dog from my parents with absolutely no training. Within 2 sessions (have more scheduled) he has taught me so much on how get my Daisy to walk without pulling. Snapping at my children or anyone else coming close to me while she’s on my lap! He also taught us how to handle our other dogs constant need to be petted and attention. Absolute game changer in our household.
