Rigatoni responded well right away to the training and it is super helpful with his biting and other issues.

We started working with Mariah after a few scary incidences of sibling aggression between our 2 female rescue dogs at home. After working with Mariah for a few hours, it was very clear how knowledgeable she about her craft. She is patient and personable. Mariah answered all of our questions and provided us with the necessary tools to begin our in-home dog training program. She’s very responsive when communicating between visits. We have already seen some positive changes in our dogs after the very first visit and look forward to continue working with Mariah! Highly recommend Mariah and her team!

Our time during our first session, we were able to notice significant change in her behavior. We are looking forward to continuing our training and see her live a less anxious and happy life.

Bonnie is patient, kind, and non judgmental. We have a challenging Boston Terrier and she has had many excellent ideas for adjusting his negative behavior. Doing the training in the home where the dog lives we thought was most advantageous. We would highly recommend Bonnie, and knowing she will be available for the life of the dog is really comforting.

Very thorough plus effective training methods & information provided. Understanding the difference between Behavorial + command training + the rationale behind it was very helpful to be able to apply the different techniques. Glad I started training while my puppy is still young.

We could not be more grateful for our trainer Kevin and our experience with Bark Busters! Kevin is an incredible trainer and we recommend/speak of him so highly our neighbor works with him now too!
PermalinkWe were in search of training for our two young rescue dogs with very different personalities and needs. Our pitbull is very high energy/excitable and exhibited signs of possessiveness when we introduced her sibling. Our heeler mix is very shy, slow to trust others and nervous around other people and dogs. Both of our dogs had issues with reactivity and resource guarding.
From the very first phone call, I felt a genuine care for our situation and liked that training was based more on an understanding/communication with your dog rather than techniques that were bribery, pain or fear based.
We like to think Kevin trained us. It was really eye opening to understand the ‘whys’ behind our dogs’ specific behavior and how to communicate with them more effectively.
Every time we work with Kevin, we work through a variety of training and exercises. He always listens through our concerns and provides feedback and guidance. If we had a recent specific incident or concern - he will try to work through the cause of those issues within the same session. He is incredibly present throughout our training and always makes himself available through text between sessions as well.
We still have work to do but have seen vast improvement in the following:
- We are able to do pack walks with minimal issues of pulling and reactivity (and techniques to minimize this when there are unexpected situations)
- We have worked on front door training and dogs are able to settle before greeting guests; we are also working through deescalating reactivity towards unexpected visitors/the mailman
- We have worked on implementing/respecting boundaries (personal boundaries such as doing things unintentionally on their time/demand and physical boundaries such as sitting and waiting at gates/doorways and not jumping on us/people)
- We’ve worked through impulse control and resource guarding by becoming more confident ourselves and giving the dogs their own safe spaces (like their crates for their meals)
Working with Kevin has helped bring our little family together and we honestly can’t thank him enough. My husband and I feel like a team working towards the same goals with guidance, direction and care. Our unit has gotten stronger and our dogs more confident, calm and closer than ever.

John was great and was able to make Ruby more comfortable and able to stop barking quickly. She and mostly us have work to do, but there is a great base. Already we are more confident to teach her that we are in charge.
