    Photo of Captian We were blown away with Joshua's knowledge and ability to explain the methodology behind the training techniques and how they've been developed with the way dogs think in mind. We saw immediate results with our pup Captain and are eager to continue our training at home now that Joshua has given us the tools we need to adjust Captain's behavior. Captain is on his way to becoming a happier, calmer, more well-adjusted member of the family as we continue our training. We're very grateful for Joshua's help and insight! I highly recommend Joshua and Bark Busters to anyone that wants to see results with their dog without the use of harsh tactics, but rather through positive reinforcement.

    Photo of Bradley Pauer Dalila’s training is amazing. She truly cares about her clients and the overall success of the puppy training. We’ve had 3 consultations so far in the first 6 weeks and we can easily say the training advice and tips have been working for our puppy. Thank you, Dalila!

    Photo of Oakley / Ghita We saw a very positive improvement during our first session. Josh was focused and determined to work, effectively with our dogs to improve the issues we have with each dog!

    Oakley and Ghita responded very well during our first session! Ghita has been barking in the home and outside constantly for many years. Today was the first day she didn't bark when the doorbell rang! We addressed Oakley's leash manners and jumping with great success!

    Photo of Buddy Bear Joshua communicates very well. I felt comfortable on my initial call to Barkbusters when I spoke to his assistant. Today's training confirmed everything I was initially told. I was afraid I was going to have to give up my GSD, but now I am confident we will have many great years together!

    Buddy Bear responded very well today during our first session. The biggest issue he was having was respect and leadership for his mom Janice. Today I taught Janice how to be a leader and how to guide and show Buddy! They both did really well today, and she was very happy because she thought she may have to get rid of him!

    Photo of Bruno Joshua was wonderfully patient and precise with his directions and customized the tips and tricks to meet our needs. Thank you so much!

    Burno has been struggling with separation anxiety and leash manners. Today we addressed these issues and also worked on his overall behavior. Now with his dad taking the lead Bruno is a much happier calmer pup! Saeid was very pleased with our first session! I am looking forward to their progress over the coming weeks.

    Photo of August and Moose My two dogs had an immediate same-day response to the training that's only gotten better with practice. The guidelines have been so helpful that my Australian Shepherd mix's separation anxiety has been totally resolved after just one visit and a few days of training in other areas to alleviate his anxiety. There's still more we have to work on, but there's already a world of difference after only a week.

    Working with Reese today was great, she is an awesome lab that picks up quickly! She responded very well during our first session today! We worked on her door manners, greeting people, and leash manners! We also worked on recall today as well! James was really happy to see his pup come when called! She is going to be a star in no time!

    Photo of Batman / Guinness It is always hard to hear that you are the one that is being controlled but we were given the tools to take back control with very manageable tools we already have! Great Experience!

    Trainer Note:
    Batman has had no leadership in his life up until now! This has led to a lot of behavioral issues and specifically resource guarding! Today we addressed these issues and also worked on his overall behavior. We also worked on Guinness anxiety and basic obedience! They all did really well today and Jeff is really pleased with the start!

    Holly did an amazing job with both of my dogs. After an hour, I had a whole new approach and the dogs were responding! It is the best dog training I’ve ever seen and well worth it!

    I had the first consult with Rob Machi for my dog, Dory, who needs help with barking (especially on walks) and learning who is in charge (she is shocked to learn that it is actually me). The first visit was so informative and helpful it was exhausting for both myself and Dory! Rob has left me with tools that I can use to help me get to where I want to be with Dory. I already feel much more confident and less frustrated with our walks now. I am looking forward to all my homework and understand the absolute need for consistency with the training. Rob was friendly, knowledgeable, kind and funny in his approach. Dory may not have appreciated Rob (not yet anyway) but I certainly did! I highly recommend Rob and know you won’t be disappointed.

    I'll eventually win Dory over lol Thank you so much for your kind words. You were both great students.
