    After one session, my older puppy, and I started a brand new relationship! Brandon‘s knowledge,, empathy, amazing kindness, and dedication were a parent and long lasting. He was professional and had scheduling flexibility that worked incredibly well for our family.

    I am not exaggerating when I say that our relationship and lives have changed forever and the impact to our family has been spectacular

    Worth every penny and more!

    Can’t wait for our next session!

    Photo of Wally James is thoughtful, wise, careful and confident. He quickly and easily effectively diagnosed our issue with our dog and gave us great coaching on correcting unwanted behavior. His approach is rooted in a clear and nuanced understanding of dog psychology, and human psychology, and it shows. Highly recommended.

    Photo of Bailey When my neighbor called to tell me that my dog was walking on the second floor roof of our condo complex, I knew that I needed help. I had rescued my beautiful black lab only a week earlier when she played Houdini, escaped through the screen door and was jumping from balcony to balcony on the second floor of my complex. I needed help. Thankfully James came to the rescue. I had never dealt with pet separation anxiety before and had no idea what to do. When James came for our first session, he spent plenty of time making Bailey and me feel calm and comfortable. James taught me how to work with Bailey in a very patient and positive manner. I learned how to create train her, something that was new to both of us, I was consistent working with Bailey and in keeping James up to date on our training. He provided me with daily feedback and suggestions between visits. All of our work paid off. Bailey was an attentive learner. Now I can leave for errands and know that she is safe and ok. I can watch her on the camera that James suggested (very reasonable and worth every penny). I took Bailey to doggie day care on the one day per week that I worked because it was too long for her otherwise. Now I have a happy dog who walks into her crate, tail wagging and settles down until I return. Thank you James for all your help and support. This was definitely the right decision for Bailey and me! 🐾

    I had several issues with my Dogo Argentino, Duke, that had become extremely stressful and overwhelming. I spent months trying everything possible to correct his behavior problems on my own, but I was getting nowhere. Duke is a very high-energy breed and was unable to calm down in the house, especially at night, even after spending the day walking and running in the park. He also had a serious issue with pulling on the leash, regardless of the collars or harnesses I used.
    A few days before Robert arrived, Duke suddenly became extremely fearful of motorcycles and loud cars. It got to the point where he didn’t even want to go outside anymore. Any loud noise would send him into a panic, and he would desperately try to flee back home.
    When Robert came in, I immediately saw huge progress during our very first session. Duke’s behavior inside the house changed almost instantly. Robert was able to get him comfortably across the street and back into the park, and the leash pulling disappeared. Robert is professional, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. His ability to connect with Duke and earn his trust and respect in such a short period of time was truly remarkable.
    I learned so much from Robert and worked hard to implement everything he taught me day and night after he left. Even after a week had passed, Duke had a small setback with the noise issues outside. I contacted Robert right away, and without hesitation, he came back the very next day to help. It was clear that he genuinely cares about the animals he works with and takes great pride in what he does.
    I couldn’t be happier with the service Robert provided, and I highly recommend him to anyone searching for an exceptional dog trainer. The results we achieved in such a short amount of time exceeded my expectations, and I am incredibly grateful for his help.

    Photo of Scarlet I was very skeptical when he said that my dog would start listening and obeying right away just on the first visit with him. To my surprise he wasn't kidding. This is a training program that is well worth it. He's got the tools and techniques that are crucial to your dogs learning progress. I've had a few visits in the past few months and my dog has made so much progress. Although I have to say you have to be patient, consistent and committed to putting in the work with your dog. It will not happen overnight. I thought an appointment every 2-3 weeks was too long. But that gives you the time to work with your dog on the assignment given, so he or she is ready for the next step. I would definitely recommend Bark Busters Home Dog Training as your new dog trainer. The best part about it is if you come across something that needs to be corrected with your dog down the road, they are always going to be there for you.

    Photo of Romeo It was a pleasure to work with James! He helped me with my 75 pound labradoodle (Romeo) who was barking alot and pulling on walks. James was very thorough in explaining how and why certain techniques would work for us. Romeo responded positively on the first visit, and with practice his barking and leash pulling are under control. My life is much less stressful! I highly recommend James for your dog training needs!

    Scot was funny and engaging and immediately put us all at ease. He was clear and the effect on the dog was immediate! It will clearly take a lot of consistent behavioral change by the humans in our family to work long term, but Scot made it crystal clear what those changes are by showing his example, instructing and giving feedback on our attempts. We’re very hopeful for the future after just one visit from him!

    Bonnie is incredible! I only wish I had reached out to her sooner. I was hesitant to work with another trainer because I had tried several in the past and found their methods difficult to implement. One of my dogs had been struggling with aggression, and we were becoming increasingly concerned about how to manage the behavior safely and effectively.

    After just one session with Bonnie, I was absolutely blown away by the results. She quickly identified the root causes of our challenges and gave us clear, practical guidance that was easy to implement. The change in both dogs was immediate and remarkable.

    One of the most impressive improvements is on our walks. After a single session, both dogs are walking calmly on a loose leash instead of pulling and straying. It feels like I have completely different dogs.

    Bonnie's approach is knowledgeable, effective, and empowering. She not only helped my dogs but also gave me the confidence and skills I needed to be a better leader for them. I look forward to our continued sessions and building on these spectacular results. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

    Jared was great! He helped us navigate a very difficult situation. He was responsive, knowledgeable, effective, kind, and flexible. Years ago, I had extensive training as a service dog trainer. Though my skills are a little rusty! Needless to say, I have a very high bar when it comes to what I expect from Dog Trainers. Jared was excellent with the dogs and with us the humans. The situation involved an aggressive dog that was being fostered after the fires in LA. The dog was not getting along with the other dog in the house; was running out of the yard; was charging at humans. So he helped us making the dogs, children, and neighbors be safe during this tense time. Thanks Jared!
