    Benji - a sweet dog with many issues like pulling extremely hard on the leash, resource guarding, attacking my cat, and jumping. All these problems were practically resolved within the first visit. He is like a brand new dog, he doesn't bark when someone rings the doorbell, pulls on walks, and now he even cuddles with my cat! We've seen such an improvement in his resource guarding issues as well!! Can't wait to continue to work with Benji and get him to where he needs to be. Thank you so much Mark!

    We were so frustrated with our rescued puppies resistance to our home training to no end. Now we can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Bark Busters style of command and confidence training is just what the doctor ordered. Looking forward to many great years with our trained dogs! Thank you Michael and Lydia, you saved us from our despair.

    Bark Busters made a huge difference right away with my dog Izzy's behavior. It's only been a couple days since my at home training session with Michael, but Izzy seems like a new dog. She has barely barked since the training and she used to bark at almost every new person or dog she came across. She is also much more respectful of boundaries now and she doesn't pull at the leash during walks anymore. I highly recommend Bark Busters to anyone whose dogs are excessively barking or have other problem behaviors. Thank you, Michael and Bark Busters!

    Absolutely MINDBLOWING first session! I have a reactive dachshund Elton, who barks aggressively at anyone coming to the door, people walking by etc. Scott taught us some great techniques and Elton’s behavior change was immediate. Highly recommend using this service!!

    This might not sound believable but its living testimony. We started with a 2 hour session. 1st was a presentation about learning how our dog works and to communicate better with him. After that less then 15 minutes into direct training we could see a immediate impact. Patrick is the BEST dog trainer I've ever seen or worked with. My wife and I can walk our dog outside and he isn't going crazy barking or pulling. Also we have full command of him and where he goes in the house. I cannot say enough good things about our training session. Thank you Patrick!

    We are having an outstanding experience with Mark from Bark Busters of Northern Virginia—truly a 10 out of 10! During a comprehensive initial three-hour in-home session, Mark clearly explained the core principles of the program and demonstrated several highly effective techniques that immediately improved how we communicate with and control our dog. He followed up with a phone call a week later to reinforce key points, which helped keep us on track. After just two weeks of applying what we learned, our dog’s barking has decreased by at least 90%, his on-leash walking has improved significantly, and his responsiveness to commands has dramatically increased. He even seems more comfortable and confident. It’s also reassuring to know Mark is available if we need him going forward. The results have far exceeded our expectations—we couldn’t recommend Mark more highly!

    Sharon is fantastic. We found ourselves in a frustrating time with our puppy and Sharon, and her team was great. From our super thorough intake call to getting an appointment super fast, she addressed all of our concerns with understanding and immediately put our puppy and us at ease. She checked in, is reachable, and we can already see the difference, not just in our pup but in us as well. She trains both the humans and the dogs and showed us how to have a better dog. We have tried other trainers and methods, with limited success, which caused more frustration, yet her approach has made a difference almost immediately. Highly recommend!

    Helpful, professional and educational! Sharon came to our home, spent three hours teaching us how to communicate with our dog. After just one visit we have seen a great amount of progress.

    Trainer Note:
    Great session today! Suki responded very well and I am really looking forward to the progresses and working through some of the other issues needed to be addressed. She is a very smart puppy and with the right direction she will be a tremendous companion and friend!
