    Photo of Rue Scott is a literal dog whisperer! His training is unique in that he teaches you to speak their language so they actually understand and therefore respond to the commands! It just works. Scott is also very professional and committed to your dog’s success.

    I was feeling a hopeless about my dogs behavior and had no idea how to correct it. Scott helped me understand my dogs language and how to communicate with him. He had me in tears seeing the progress my fur baby made within an hour! I am looking forward to a better relationship with my dog!

    I have never seen such a quick response to training before, within an hour both pups were behaving noticeably better. My level of stress about having people in my house with my territorial pup is way lower.

    We contacted Scott when our dog began having aggression towards her brother and other dogs when it came to resource guarding. Scott was completely amazing and has truly given us the tools to not only manage the problem but to actively improve both of our dogs’ behavior. He talked us through his methods even before we had to officially hire him, giving us all of the information upfront. We would highly recommend letting Scott and his team improve your dogs behavior!

    I have been having reactivity issues with my shepherd mix Gizmo that have been worsening for the last few months. I have tried another dog training company in Denver in the past who came to my house and tried to sell me expensive e-collars and prong collars, without actually helping my dog's behavior. So, I was hesitant to spend money for another dog trainer, but Scott and BarkBusters has been worth every penny! What I love about Scott's approach is he teaches you how to communicate with your dog, and how to understand your dog's behavior so you can correct it. He has helped me build a new relationship with Gizmo, one in which he respects, trusts, and listens to me. The training tools that Scott provides (at no extra cost) are simple, easy to use, and cruelty free. After even just ONE session with Scott I could already see a change in Gizmo! Any dog parent of a reactive dog knows how difficult it is and how much anxiety it can produce (for both you and your pup), and for the first time in months I felt hopeful that change would actually be possible. So far Gizmo has made amazing strides with the help of Scott - he no longer leash pulls, he no longer has ball aggression, he doesn't bark when he hears a knock on the door, and his reactivity towards dogs on walks has significantly decreased. It is because he doesn't feel the need to be scared or protective, since he now views me as the pack leader when previously it was the other way around. I have a totally new understanding of relationship dynamics and dog behavior, which has been the key to having successful results so quickly. I am eternally grateful to Scott for what he's done for Gizmo and I, and it is so awesome knowing that if I ever need anything he is just a phone call away and will come for follow-up visits as needed for life!

    Scott is a great trainer.
    Our dog Velma is a rescue that is anxious and all bark no bite. When we first got her, should would bark her head off at every new person that came into the house, absolutely no way to calm her.
    Since working with Scott, we have learned several tips and tricks to get her to be more calm and welcoming towards guests. We have been able to have little get togethers and family stay over with no problems now.

    Before, on walks, it was so hard to walk her. She was nonstop barking and whining and we could not get control of her. It made me not want to walk her at all.
    Now walking has been so much easier.There is still a lot work that needs to be done with walks but walks are no longer a battle. I know what to do in order to gain that control and her focus, making the walk stress free.

    We appreciate Scott’s support during this entire journey. With this lifetime training, we know we have the support from Scott.

    Scott immediately helped with my dog’s separation anxiety. I couldn’t leave the house without her and within three days she stopped barking/crying at the door when I left.. she obeys me and realizes that I am in charge :) thank you Scott! You changed our lives!

    Scott is a great trainer! My dog Brinkley is very anxious and I am not a consistent trainer. Scott is very patient and gives us a lot of helpful practices to correct Brinkley’s behavior and help alleviate his anxiety! We have had a handful of training sessions with Scott and Brinkley responds really well to him. He has taught me more about dogs body language and the way they think which has helped a ton since I interpret my dogs feelings as I would a human which of course is not the case. Huge help and cannot recommend him enough!

    We hired Scott from Bark Busters for help training our dog "Chacho". We needed help with loose leash walking, doggie manners/boundaries, repetitive commands and separation anxiety. Scott was able to determine it was not truly separation anxiety but immaturity and boredom. As for the other issues we have seen a complete turn around. Chacho is not yet perfect, but the difference is incredible. Recently we took a trip to a relatives house and Chacho was a dream. We no longer fear walking past a squirrel or another dog as Chacho looks to us for his guidance. No longer do we worry about him bouncing out the door when we open it to get in groceries or to go outside, and he is a gentleman when guests arrive.

    His method of teaching is cruelty free and does not involve the use of e collars or chokers.

    Although it is a bit pricey the lifetime guarantee and the results are well with it. My wife and I would and will recommend Scott to others for their pet obedience needs.

    Our dog, Mojo, is for the most part a good and well behaved dog, but he has had issues with aggression toward other dogs and barking at anyone outside the house (from inside the house) among other bad behaviors. Basically, he is very territorial and protective of his space and "things". We introduced another dog to our home and things have been very stressful, with us trying to manage space and location of the dogs 24/7. Scott came earlier this week and a miracle happened. I don't want to exaggerate, but it seems like that to us. Using the techniques and training Scott taught us, we have already seen a significant difference in just a couple of days.

    As an example, one of his favorite things in the world is to sit at the edge of our backyard, which is adjacent to a hiking trail up to Green Mountain. Any time a person (with or without a dog) is walking on the trail, he barks incessantly. We have tried to get him to stop for years and often walk down to him from the house, but nothing worked. Yesterday morning he was barking, from his spot, at a couple of dogs being walked on the trail. Our deck is at least 30 yards away and 2 stories up from where he sits. I used the techniques Scott showed us and Mojo instantly stopped barking, sat down, looked at me and waited until I "released" him, but did not start barking again. I was shocked. I know it will take a lot of repetition and time to completely retrain him, but we know we did the right thing bringing in Scott to help us.
