Client Reviews

See what our clients in Phoenix & Scottsdale have to say

We’ve done different types of trainings over the years with our different dogs, but the Bark Busters methods make so much more sense. It’s a very calm and quiet way to train rather than yelling commands. I have learned to understand my dog’s body language, anticipate his behavior, and be proactive instead of reactive. We are being taught to train our dog for behaviors we want him to have in our household, not what someone else thinks he should do. Our trainer, Hanna, has been so resourceful and supportive. In the past I’ve never felt confident in my abilities to train a dog - I often feel reprimanded for not doing things the right way in classes. But Hanna is gentle and kind, and has given me the confidence that I can do this and be successful.

Connor Willey is worth every penny PLUS more! After one training session my husband and I saw a HUGE positive change in our two cavapoos. Connor is giving us the best training advice and guidance that you won’t get off you tube. There is something to be said about in home, personalized training sessions. Each dog is so different and he knows his stuff! We are so grateful we called Bark Busters and have been paired with Connor. He is a must for all dog owners! - (Google Review)

We started working with Hanna in January for one of our pups (7.5 yrs) who in the month prior started to get aggressive towards our older pup (13 yrs). Luckily it wasn’t to a point where they had to be constantly separated and a couple of days after the first training it was night and day difference in their temperaments! We are seeing a lot of improvements in most of the areas we are focusing on. Some habits are hard to break (like going straight for the couch first thing in the am) but it’s a work in progress. We are so happy we made this investment for our pup and are excited for what the future holds! - (Google Review)

Connor is a miracle worker. Our dog Milo would charge aggressively after every dog he saw and would bark at even the most benign noises at home. After only two appointments, our dog has been completely transformed. Milo walks calmly with my wife and I no matter how many dogs are around. And he barks signficantly less at home. All without shock collars or other cruel techniques. Yes, Bark Busters is crazy expensive. No getting around that. But Connor is absolutely worth every penny and once you pay, he will stick with you and your pup as long as you need. Highly recommend his services to any pup lover - (Google Review)

Connor and Hanna are incredible! Both of them are obviously K-9 lovers, but they're also great at dealing with humans. They seamlessly worked together as a team to alleviate all of our concerns, and the level of trust Hanna developed with us and our dog on her first visit was not just remarkable, but lasting. We now have a pep in our step as we embark on an easy, well-planned course to get our favorite non-human to cooperate with our family. I cannot possibly recommend their services enough. They are responsible, reliable, friendly, compassionate, patient, and wise.

We have had a phenomenal experience with Connor!! In just 2 sessions, we noticed a huge transformation in our Labradoodle. Connor has taught us very practical training tools that we have put into practice daily and it has been so amazing to see fast results. Connor is reliable, friendly, and is always quick to respond. It is worth the investment and reassuring to know that it is a lifetime of support. - (Google Review)

Our experience with Connor at Bark Busters has been excellent! We rescued our pup and had some challenges with resource guarding and reactivity. Connor’s training methods have allowed us to get those behaviors under control. He has been there to talk us through issues that come up and teach us how to address them. We are very thankful that we chose to do the training and would recommend it to anyone having issues with their dog. - (Google Review)

Our Bark Busters experience with Connor has been wonderful and life changing for our family! Although we have only had a few sessions so far, over the last few months we have had so much more peace and cohesion in our family as a result that we weren’t sure we would have again anytime soon. Our family and sweet dog went through alot of changes in the past couple years with the addition of our son and living in four different houses all during the pandemic where she had less then optimal socializing opportunities. This left her with a lot of anxiety & nervousness, that was coming out in some undesirable behaviors including barking. Through Connor working with us all, we have seen her blossom before our eyes and returning to her sweet, calmer, and more confident self. We no longer have half the worries and stressors with her that we had just a mere couple months ago. We can finally all sit together or play together outside as a family again without worries or all the barking. We still have a ways to go, but now we have tools to communicate effectively with her and resources when we need help figuring out how to navigate situations that may arise that we may not otherwise know how to handle. Thank you so much Connor for your excellent communication skills, follow up, flexibility, patience, and step by step explanations paired with demonstrations! Our holiday season for our family has been so much happier and peaceful thanks to your continuous help! - (Google Review)

I'm so happy I chose Bark Busters! I needed desperate help training my puppy Guy, a mini Australian Shepherd. I couldn't have guests over, we had problems walking on the leash, uncontrollable barking, an inconsistent eating schedule and more. After just one visit, I had a completely different dog thanks to Connor! Within days, I was able to have guests over without a problem. Connor explained why Guy was behaving the way he was so we were able to better fix our situation. We were given daily exercises that made a huge impact. I didn't realize how much happier we could be with a well behaved dog - Guy is much happier now too! I really appreciate how invested they are in making sure you have the right training specific to your dog and family. Connor helped us identify a lot of issues that I didn't even realize could be fixed! Bark Busters training methods are the best and I'm very thankful for them!

Connor was amazing, very patient and willing to work through all of our issues with our Malti-poo. We never felt rushed when we got together and really felt that Connor had a great understanding of the issues we were dealing with. Our dog loved Connor too, always willing to try whatever he suggested we did. We highly recommend him. - (Google Review)

Bark Busters, specifically Connor, has been life changing for my dog and my family! When we reached out, we couldn't take our dog in public for fear of him aggressing towards other animals or people. I was really impressed with Connor. As he knew our dog might become aggressive, he came right in day one, engaging with him. On apt 1 we were already working on leash training, distance control, managing attention seeking behaviors, and door control. Connor is also very knowledgeable, he simplifies everything, he shows multiple examples and gives in the moment feedback. He always leaves us with step-by-step homework and is always available for any questions we might have. He is also a lot of fun to work with. I would recommend Bark Busters to anyone who is struggling with a dog who engages in problem behaviors! - (Google Review)

Dog pulling leash Bark Busters Home Dog Training

Does Your Dog Pull You on the Leash?

Walking our dogs is a great source of exercise for both pets and pet parents. It not only helps keep our canine companions healthy and physically and mentally stimulated, but also strengthens the bond between us.

Dogs pulling on the leash can be a common frustration for owners. This behavior often stems from excitement, fear, or a lack of training. When a dog pulls, it can disrupt walks, strain the relationship between owner and pet, and even lead to safety concerns. Teaching your dog to walk at a heel not only improves the walking experience but also strengthens the bond between you and your furry companion. A well-trained dog will walk calmly by your side, making walks enjoyable for both of you.

If you would like to solve walking issues like pulling, handling distractions, lunging at people, and jumping, contact Bark Busters Phoenix-Scottsdale!
