    We started with Johnny to help with our first dog, Elroy about 3 years ago. He was a 1 year rescue Pitbull with no leash manners, reactivity to people and dogs, and serious resource guarding. Our sessions with Johnny gave my wife and I confidence to know that Elroy was safe and able to work with and improve. Through the right guidance, training, and tools Elroy is now an amazing family dog who loves going hiking and enjoys going out almost anywhere with us. With much consulting with Johnny we decided Elroy was ready to bring another dog into our family, so about 7 months ago we added Apollo, a 2 month old Rottweiler. Johnny has continue to support us from introducing the dogs to each other, each stage of Apollo's puppy development, and now continued training and development for both dogs together. Johnny has been extremely supportive with any dog related questions and we love that he is able to help us with anything we want to add to our dogs skill set as well as encouraging us to try new things to enrich our dogs.

    Patrick was really good. It took a few visits and some trial and error but he stuck with us and the pulling stoped. Nice nice person and very competent

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Scott! In just one visit we learned how to stop our dog from being reactive to doorbells, how to calmly let guests in/out of our home, how to recall our dog, and how claim our space and furniture back. Interestingly in just a few hours our dog learned the system/tools he put into place and we were left in a positive space of feeling like we are ready to practice and implement all we learned over the next few weeks. We could not be more appreciative of Scott’s time and expertise.

    Erin at Bark Busters is beyond amazing. Her knowledge and expertise are surpassed by NONE. I had a Rottweiler that would bolt out of her crate. Within 10 minutes, she was sitting and waiting for me to give her the release queue. Erin's accomplishments in 10 minutes are more than it took me forever to get trained. Erin also went over some problem areas. My dog again corrected very quickly, and this is because Erin has all the knowledge, patience, and expertise. I would highly recommend Erin with Bark Busters to anyone

    After one session with Josh, our 9-month-old cattle/pittie/boxer mix Fox has become a new little man. Josh starts working the second he walks through your door. We had been struggling with puppy regression, attitude problems, and poor walking habits, but 24 hours after our 1st session, walking Fox has become near idyllic. We were equipped with immediate skills to practice, follow-up work, and a calming assurance that things might *actually* be okay. I'm not a big digital reviewer, but felt the need to write: if you're on the fence or on the verge of giving up, in a mess of tears after a 'simple' walk around the block, I highly recommend chatting with Josh and his team. We'd read Bark Busters' reviews before, stating an immediate positive change in dogs after an initial session, and wanted so badly to believe they were true: they are. We've got some continued work to do, but at this rate, we have been bestowed a new confidence and are feeling relief already.

    We have a 10 month old Shihpoo with separation anxiety. We couldn’t leave the house without her. She would yelp and cry uncontrollably. We tried crate training and watched so many videos looking for a training method that would work. One session with Sharon and we have the tools to gain some freedom. We are on day 2 and we’ve already made so much progress. We are able to better communicate with our dog and help her understand that she is safe and can relax when we leave. It pretty remarkable!!

    Photo of Maggie & Zany Orlando is very professional and is amazing with my two dogs. I am introudcing a new dog into our home with an existing dog and having some issues with the new dog being protective and trying to show dominance over myself and the existing dog. Orlando Gave me the tools I needed to establish that i am the leader and that they both need to listen to me. After only two hours there is a big difference in both dogs behaviors towards me and each other. I would highly recommend Orlando who is very friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with.

    Photo of Cooper We recently hired Bark Busters to help us with our Miniature American Shepherd, Cooper, who is very reactive and has started to be aggressive toward people. We didn't know quite what to expect when Omar showed up, but I can say he more than exceeded what we hoped to accomplish on that first visit. Before he even met Cooper, he spent time with our family, listening to our concerns and then helping us understand why Cooper was behaving as he was. This insight has been a game-changer in how we interact with Cooper. And already we're seeing results. We still have a long way to go, but Omar has given us the hope that Cooper can become a calm, confident and happy dog who will bring much joy to our family. We really cannot recommend Bark Busters highly enough - especially Omar and Ryanne!

    Stan made everything so simple and I saw my dogs benefit greatly from his training just in one session! I highly recommend Stan and his expertise.

    Jared of Bark Busters has been doing a great job helping me train my pack of three young dogs. We have made great strides in improving the dogs’ behavior. All three dogs were barking a lot at the front door and jumping on guests as they arrived. Issue addressed and resolved. I have one dog that that is tough case and continues to bark at some strange triggers. Jared continues to work with me to improve this behavior. We have come a long way. This dog has made great improvements in her barking and I am confident with more repetition and Jared’s guidance we will get there. Jared is kind, has a calm presence, and communicates well with humans and dogs.
