    Photo of Chocolate Éclair/Clover We have two miniature dachshunds that are 1 years old. We could not believe that in a three-hour session we would learn so much. Joshua was extremely patient in showing us and the pups what to do and what not to do. We were amazed at what the pups learned in such a short amount of time. It has been a couple days from our first meeting and when I open the front door no one runs out. We and our pups have more to learn and continued training to do, but we are confident with Joshua's help we will have well behaved and trained pups in the near future!

    Photo of Ducky Joshua is friendly and very patient, answered all my questions and gave us a ton of information. He definitely helped us a lot (no aggressive methods) and we are looking forward to the second session!

    Photo of Jacko & Ember Moon Jacko is a barker and very anxious Chipit. Today I saw him listen and stop barking. Both Jacko and Ember Moon jump up on guest when they enter, today they listened to commands and no jumping. Very good information given today.

    Johnny has been essential to our understanding of our girl Pepper. He is always quick to response and flexible with his schedule for training. He has given us tools to better manage our dogs stubborn nature and encourage her positive behavior. Pepper has become a better family pup thanks to the skills Johnny has taught us and we are so grateful for his knowledge and support throughout our puppy training adventure.

    Photo of Willow I was a new dog owner with an 8 week Puppy and needed someone to train myself and my dog!! After multiple phone interviews with different trainers I decided on Barkbusters of Lake Norman. Diane and John are not only very knowledgeable but extremely kind and patient. Their techniques were easy for both myself and Willow and I saw great improvement after each visit that was sustainable They are the best I highly recommend them

    We LOVE Bark Busters. We had used them once before when we lived in a different state. When we moved, Bark Busters was right there to help us re-train our older dog in his new environment. The BEST thing about Bark Busters is that it is a ONE-TIME fee for the life of your dog. For the life of your dog you can call BB at any stage and they will be there to help. As I said earlier, we used BB in a different state, we moved, called them and they sent a new trainer.

    Now that we have a brand new puppy (my gawd we forgot how much work they can be! :)) Johnny @ Bark Busters has been amazing helping us set appropriate expectations, training tips, etc. He even will help us via text between appointments, which has been not only helpful, but like having an extra support system as we are navigating puppy-hood again! We are forever grateful for him and look forward to our training appts. He never rushes an appointment and always listens to all our concerns and crazy questions and takes the time to answer them all! Highly recommend!

    We adopted our 4 month old puppy and realized that he was going to be a a big fella especially since his paperwork initially had Mastiff. My husband and I agreed we needed to look into a professional trainer for our young pup now rather than later. After some research we found Barkbusters who directed us to our great trainer, Joanne Rice.

    From day one we saw an improvement in behavior. We enjoyed the homework too (it’s not just the trainer needing the direction). While we didn’t think our puppy was too naughty he did need training on commands to come and stay, go up and down stairs and many other commands as he wasn’t a great listener at times..

    Joanne was patient and made the training process easy without overwhelming our puppy and us. Our puppy recently had a “moment” with our new furniture. One reach out to Joanne and she responded quickly with a reminder of a training tactic as well as toys that could assist us with the training to alleviate the behavior.

    We would definitely recommend Joanne for your dog trainer. She is professional, prompt, understanding, a great listener and patient. We can’t thank her enough.

    People comment all the time on how our puppy is so well behaved. In fact, I think we have a family member that was happy that our puppy was “not perfect after all” when he has the furniture incident. That behavior has been addressed and he is still our Shining Star!

    Photo of Colby / Dio / Faye All of our major issues were addressed, and we saw our dogs reacting immediately with the results we were looking for. Our trainer had great communication and a positive attitude. I would defiantly recommend to others!

    Trainer Note:
    We had a really great session today. We addressed basic leash manners and front door manners. We also focused on Dio's separating anxiety, and he responded very well. I am looking forward to their progress over the coming weeks.
