We came to Bark Busters for help with potty training our puppy--the puppy just did not seem to catch on and we felt like we were not making progress. Ryanne of Bark Busters came out to our home and set up a program for us. She had many suggestions and ideas which we followed to the letter and saw immediate results. Ryanne had also been extremely quick to follow up when we have questions or if we want to add additional training. We are 100% satisfied with Bark Busters!

Omar and Ryanne saved our dogs! This may sound like hyperbole, but let me explain.
PermalinkIt was summer of 2024 and we thought our two female dogs were healthy and happy, they'd play with each other, we'd walk them daily. The older dog is a mostly Siberian Husky mix we rescued in 2018, now about 8 years old. The newer dog is +3 year old full Australian Shepherd we've had since she was eight weeks old. The Aussie completed two obedience classes very well. Yet last spring-into-summer, the two dogs began fighting each other, much more than simple play, and this reached a crescendo in late summer. We tried to figure out the reason for the fights, thinking it was our interactive play with the dogs in the yard. Two separate fights resulted in injuries to each dog requiring veterinary care, and we despaired that we might have to re-home one of our beloved dogs.
It was a stressful time and we decided to find a solution to keep both dogs, and after the 'last' fight, my wife began searching for solutions. After reviewing trainer options for our area, she was impressed by the services and reviews presented on the Bark Busters website. Still distraught and crying over the fight that morning, my wife called the number and was immediately calmed by the Bark Busters national representative, who discussed their processes, services and assurance that their techniques would help our situation, stressing they worked on behavioral aspects, not obedience. My wife was told that local trainer Omar would be contacting her, and he called the same day!
Omar scheduled an in-home visit within five days to provide a no-obligation evaluation. We were impressed with his presentation, his pragmatism, and empathy while we had a thorough discussion about our dogs, history and desires. We decided the next day to enlist Omar and Ryanne's training, and scheduled an initial in-home training session. Omar's strategy was to begin with one dog at a time, mostly for training us as dog owners/lovers. The concepts and techniques were easy to understand with demonstrations, and both Omar and Ryanne thoughtfully guided us to learn and practice the techniques. Over the next few weeks we met in-home to continue the training that produced instantaneous results, and anytime we had any questions or concerns about continuing the training between sessions we'd receive immediate response to our texts. Plus we can reach out with any issues for the lifetime of our dogs!
The best takeaway is that Omar and Ryanne instilled a mindset we follow for peace and love with our dogs. Here we are months later and our happy dogs are playing together joyfully and we've been empowered to understand their behaviors. It's been very easy to befriend Omar and Ryanne with their genuine empathy and the insightful, practical psychology of dog lovers and their dogs. The quality dog leashes they provided are a great useful bonus. We've extolled the virtues of their program to all our dog-loving friends. We wholeheartedly endorse their services to anyone experiencing behavioral issues with their dog(s).
Thank you for your kind words! It’s our pleasure to work with your family! We're overjoyed to hear that the techniques we provided have made such a positive difference in your home.
We're always here for you if you have any questions or need further guidance in the future. We're committed to your continued success and the well-being of all your family members.
Thank you for your trust in Bark Busters. We appreciate your recommendations and wish you all the best!
Sincerely,
Ryanne and Omar Rubio

Our dog Moose is a one year old Golden Retriever who loves to put his nose down to the ground dragging us behind on the leash. He also loves to meet people to the point that he's so overexcited that he's hard to handle. After just a couple sessions with Omar, Moose now heels on the leash and we are learning techniques to help settle him down so everyone involved has a better experience meeting, including Moose. Walking our dog is finally a fun experience! Omar is very patient, communicates clearly, and takes time to answer our many questions. He's available between sessions for questions/advice, provides supplemental training videos, and even just checks in with us. We are so impressed with the quick progress we are making and are excited to keep working with Omar on more skills. Thank you, Omar!!
PermalinkWe're so happy to hear that Moose is making such great progress! It's fantastic that you're enjoying your walks together now.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It's a pleasure working with you and Moose, and we’re excited to continue helping you build on your success.
Best,
Ryanne & Omar

Omar helped us with a barking problem with our Cavalier, and it was so amazing! He spent the time to teach me and my family how to work with her natural instincts, and I’m so grateful! I would definitely recommend!
PermalinkThank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that Omar was able to help you and your Cavalier. We put a lot of emphasis on working with a dog's natural instincts and we believe that this is the best way to achieve lasting results.
We're so glad that you would recommend us and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!
Sincerely,
Ryanne & Omar Rubio

In one visit, we have experienced a complete transformation. Thank you, James. I'm not sure what we're going to talk about next visit. Maybe we can figure out what is wrong with the cat? 😂

I was amazed at the progress the trainer with my dogs. It is encouraging to think that the barking problems are correctable. I look forward to working with Joshua in the future. Excellent job!

The experience with Orlando was very helpful and hands on. By understanding the pets needs I was able to understand how to help my pet during the training process. This training session was very helpful and informative thank you so much!

We learned a lot of things on what to do that we were doing wrong. Training us is harder than we thought. It is so good to know that we will get our family on track.

The training session was outstanding. Dottie who always is aggressive responded quickly to the lessons and became a sweet girl.
