Ryan spent hours at our home listening to our concerns while offering training, and advice to integrate our two dogs. He is extremely knowledgeable and an overall really honest and great guy. The training isn't going to work long term for one of my dogs due to rare, and special circumstance, however Ryan was professional, kind, and understanding treating us with the same respect while selling his service as he did when we decided that the service wasn’t a fit for one of the dogs. To me that’s extremely valuable and speaks volumes about his character. The bark buster method works for most dogs and I would 100% contact Ryan again for training in the future. Give him a call, you won’t be disappointed!
Ryan was amazing with educating us on K-9 communication and techniques of how to retrain him. Luca was a rescue with severe anxiety and fear of men, children and other animals which he acted out with severe aggression. Within minutes, Ryan started his transformation and it was simply bewildering to watch! Luca’s change is ongoing, his behavior is so different. We are so thankful for his guidance!!!
Ryan the best dog trainer I have ever worked with for my dog! I adopted my dog from a shelter and she end up being dog reactive. With the help of Ryan my dog is now able to run around with other dogs with no issues. I highly recommend Ryan if you are in the Colorado Springs area!!
My dogs weren't necessarily "problem dogs" but we did have some small issues that could be super annoying. Because our second dog was a pandemic puppy and he had never known life without someone in the house (and had some anxiety issues) I had thought about getting some dog training, but wasn't ready to commit because of the cost of everything. Well, we were able to see the results of Ryan's first session with a dog-friend, and the difference in that dog's behavior encouraged me to pull the plug. I am SO glad I did! Our first session went really well. The dogs responded well and we were able to learn techniques that are easy to follow through on. However, it was our second session that blew me away! In just one hour I went from thinking I'd always have my two dogs pulling on their leashes, to being able to walk both dogs on a loose leash and have them remain at my side or behind me. I was STUNNED! and SO excited! There's no secret product or crazy voodoo, Ryan just teaches you how to communicate clearly with your dog (and all dogs). I am so excited. Other benefits that we've seen is that our puppy who was anxious around all strangers has calmed down significantly and both dogs actually pay attention to me when I give them commands.
I can't recommend Ryan and his services enough!
Ryan is a modern day dog whisperer. We contacted Ryan when we decided to get a new puppy and we are so glad that we were able to work with him. When Ryan makes a house call to visit you, he comes prepared with an arsenal of information and products that will help you manage your dog and his/her issues.
Ryan helps educate dog owners in animal behavior and psychology as the overarching premise of training. He is very thorough in helping you think and communicate with your dog in a natural way, ie, in a way that dogs communicate with each other. Ryan teaches you the fundamentals of non-verbal communication with your dog, and that is the key to everything. You have to think like a dog. To reinforce this philosophy, Ryan demonstrates its' use with your dog as well as through observing and analyzing videos of dogs interacting in the absence of people. What you see happening, and what Ryan points out is the key to communicating with your dog in a commanding, non-verbal fashion in the absence of treats.
We have been using these non-verbal communication techniques with our puppy and the results are short of miraculous. Our puppy went from nipping and chewing on us on essentially a non-stop basis to only exhibiting this behavior when he gets very excited. Now, when he gets overstimulated, we are able to calm him down and stop his nipping with the techniques we learned.
We really liked the way Ryan simplifies the process and its' fundamental premises. The philosophy is very easy to understand and apply in real life.
Ryans' down to earth and friendly approach is inspiring and effective. Knowing that Ryan is on retainer for problems that will occur is an extremely comforting thought as we raise our puppy.
Ryan is certainly the most effective dog trainer that I have ever met and I highly recommend him and Barkbusters. Ryan is in high demand, so I would recommend waiting for him to come and visit you. You should call Barkbusters to get the intro on his techniques and the program and see for yourself.
Astounded. That is the word we would use to describe the change in Tanks behavior. In a single session with Ryan, we had a totally different dog! Tank was very anxious around other people and would bark aggressively and had even bitten someone. After Ryan taught us how to communicate with Tank in a way he understands, he is now calm and relaxed. It is amazing! I can’t recommend this training method, and Ryan, enough!! And the lifetime training is a huge bonus. Ryan is very responsive and available to help as new issues arise. BarkBusters is the best thing we have ever done for our dog and family.
Our 2 year old Husky is loving and calm until his brother visits and food issues lead to fighting and vet bills.
Ryan came to visit our whole family, including a grandson with a new puppy. Ryan patiently and clearly used videos and explanations of dog instinct and demonstrations of memory building BB technique to help us reestablish good people behavior..talking "dog" and being leaders for all our canines on a consistent basis. It is fun to implement Barkbusters philosophy and simple habits with our pack.
We feel much more confident that we can resolve the food aggression and manage problem situations. Thank you Ryan..the Pierces.
I have to admit that I was a little skeptical that this training would work for my 2 year old rescue, but it did! I waited a few months after calling Bark Busters, because I thought it was too expensive. However, my dog's barking and anxiety got worse, so I decided to bite the bullet and make an appointment with Ryan. BEST MOVE EVER AND WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!! The appointment was 3 hours. Most of the appointment was educating me on "speaking dog" and nutrition. Then we put my new tactics into action. My dog responded immediately and it is SOOOOO EASY!!!!! We only had to ring the doorbell 3 different times and my dog was cured of barking at the doorbell and charging to the door. It sounds unbelievable and it is!!!! Now when my doorbell rings, my dog might bark once to alert me, but he doesn't charge the door at all. GAME CHANGER!!!! The stress level of people coming over is gone! My dog is well behaved and even listens great in the car. NO MORE JUMPING in the front seat while I am driving. He sits in the back like a good dog. Ryan is coming back in a few weeks for a follow up. I can't imagine my dog getting even better, because now he is PERFECT in my eyes! Thank you Ryan for changing our family dynamics. NO MORE STRESS because of the dog here! The Schulte Family household is a lot more balanced because of you!!!
Ryan helped with me SO MUCH with my dog, Emmy! Emmy had some minor issues in our home and we were able to get them fixed right away with Ryan’s help. With the lifetime warranty, I am able to contact Ryan for whatever I need in the future - including working on outdoor behaviors too! He came prepared, was willing and open to working through these issues, and was such a great mentor. Would HIGHLY recommend!
I have been around dogs professionally for over 29+ years with my late husband being a veterinarian and our owning 2 Animal Hospitals. We saw many dogs with behavior problems. Our clients tried various types of training methods and trainers. Occasionally, we would see improvement, but it took a long long time. We did not know about Bark Busters. My current husband and I have a new imported German Shepherd. He is struggling with intense fear of people that come into our home. He is over all obedient and barks in situations when appropriate, It appears that during transport to the United States he was abused. (we and our family have purchased other Shepherds from this facility and did not encounter this problem). After our first meeting with Ryan we started to learn to "speak dog" . WOW, Jonko is a different dog after just one session. This training has also helped us to speak dog to our other old Shepherd and our 2 little Yorkies. Our home is already so much more peaceful! We are excited to be on this "Bark Buster" journey with Ryan. Words cannot express how grateful we are to be working with Ryan!! My heart hurt for Jonko because of his intense fear, now I am excited for him. He will have a happy, peaceful, and confidant life. We have now had our 2nd session and Jonko is doing amazing!! I feel Jonko and I understand each other. I wish I had known over the years how to "speak dog" to my many past pup family members. THANK YOU Ryan!!!!!I You are a God send!!!
