We cannot recommend Bark Busters and our amazing trainer, Ryanne, highly enough! We were expecting our first child and reached out for help with our 10-year-old Yorkie, Gerrard, and we are absolutely blown away by the transformation. Ryanne did several in-home visits and took the time to truly understand Gerrard’s behavior and our needs as owners. She patiently taught us how to train him in a way that was both effective and easy to follow.
Thanks to Ryanne’s guidance, Gerrard is like a whole new dog—calmer, more obedient, and happier than ever! Her expertise, professionalism, and genuine love for dogs were evident from day one. If you’re looking for a top-notch dog trainer who delivers real results, Ryanne and Bark Busters are the best choice you could make!
Thank you, Ryanne, for giving us the tools to create a better life for Gerrard and our family! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're so glad to hear that you and Gerrard are doing well. Your kind words and dedication to Gerrard's training make our job truly rewarding. It's wonderful to know he's calmer and more relaxed! Reach out at anytime, we are here to help!

Omar is an Amazing Trainer – Highly Recommend!
Working with Omar has been such a great experience! We had worked with Bark Busters before and learned the basics, but Omar has shown us new, more effective, and less aggressive ways to make corrections. He really took the time to understand the issues we’re having with our two reactive dogs and came up with a training plan that’s easy to follow and actually works.
What I really appreciate about Omar is how patient he is—not just with our dogs, but with us as we learn these new methods. He walks us through everything step by step and helps us practice until we get it right. On top of that, he’s super personable and fun to be around, which makes the whole process even better.
If you’re looking for a trainer who truly knows what they’re doing and makes the experience enjoyable, I can’t recommend Omar enough!
Luis, Thank you for your kind words! Helping you develop tools to strengthen your relationship with your dogs has been very rewarding. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need additional support in the future.
Best Regards,
Omar

Working with Ryanne and Omar has been life changing for us as puppy owners!! They are skilled and such amazing trainers! I really feel they care about our family and dog. Ryanne has also been great including our kids and teaching them what to do and why. I feel a sense of relief knowing that we have a plan and training to have the perfect K9 companion no matter what comes up during the life of our dog. They are attentive to any questions we have between our sessions and are a joy to work with. Each session is fun and informative learning things we never would have thought about! Thank you, Bark Busters!!
Thank you Anna & Arthur! We appreciate your business and dedication to Willow:) We are here to support you through the milestones of owning a dog! We look forward to our continued work together!

We came to Bark Busters for help with potty training our puppy--the puppy just did not seem to catch on and we felt like we were not making progress. Ryanne of Bark Busters came out to our home and set up a program for us. She had many suggestions and ideas which we followed to the letter and saw immediate results. Ryanne had also been extremely quick to follow up when we have questions or if we want to add additional training. We are 100% satisfied with Bark Busters!
Thanks Rebecca!! It's my pleasure to help you navigate through puppyhood with Violet:) Please reach out anytime with questions!

Omar and Ryanne saved our dogs! This may sound like hyperbole, but let me explain.
It was summer of 2024 and we thought our two female dogs were healthy and happy, they'd play with each other, we'd walk them daily. The older dog is a mostly Siberian Husky mix we rescued in 2018, now about 8 years old. The newer dog is +3 year old full Australian Shepherd we've had since she was eight weeks old. The Aussie completed two obedience classes very well. Yet last spring-into-summer, the two dogs began fighting each other, much more than simple play, and this reached a crescendo in late summer. We tried to figure out the reason for the fights, thinking it was our interactive play with the dogs in the yard. Two separate fights resulted in injuries to each dog requiring veterinary care, and we despaired that we might have to re-home one of our beloved dogs.
It was a stressful time and we decided to find a solution to keep both dogs, and after the 'last' fight, my wife began searching for solutions. After reviewing trainer options for our area, she was impressed by the services and reviews presented on the Bark Busters website. Still distraught and crying over the fight that morning, my wife called the number and was immediately calmed by the Bark Busters national representative, who discussed their processes, services and assurance that their techniques would help our situation, stressing they worked on behavioral aspects, not obedience. My wife was told that local trainer Omar would be contacting her, and he called the same day!
Omar scheduled an in-home visit within five days to provide a no-obligation evaluation. We were impressed with his presentation, his pragmatism, and empathy while we had a thorough discussion about our dogs, history and desires. We decided the next day to enlist Omar and Ryanne's training, and scheduled an initial in-home training session. Omar's strategy was to begin with one dog at a time, mostly for training us as dog owners/lovers. The concepts and techniques were easy to understand with demonstrations, and both Omar and Ryanne thoughtfully guided us to learn and practice the techniques. Over the next few weeks we met in-home to continue the training that produced instantaneous results, and anytime we had any questions or concerns about continuing the training between sessions we'd receive immediate response to our texts. Plus we can reach out with any issues for the lifetime of our dogs!
The best takeaway is that Omar and Ryanne instilled a mindset we follow for peace and love with our dogs. Here we are months later and our happy dogs are playing together joyfully and we've been empowered to understand their behaviors. It's been very easy to befriend Omar and Ryanne with their genuine empathy and the insightful, practical psychology of dog lovers and their dogs. The quality dog leashes they provided are a great useful bonus. We've extolled the virtues of their program to all our dog-loving friends. We wholeheartedly endorse their services to anyone experiencing behavioral issues with their dog(s).
Dear Dave & Eve,
Thank you for your kind words! It’s our pleasure to work with your family! We're overjoyed to hear that the techniques we provided have made such a positive difference in your home.
We're always here for you if you have any questions or need further guidance in the future. We're committed to your continued success and the well-being of all your family members.
Thank you for your trust in Bark Busters. We appreciate your recommendations and wish you all the best!
Sincerely,
Ryanne and Omar Rubio

Our dog Moose is a one year old Golden Retriever who loves to put his nose down to the ground dragging us behind on the leash. He also loves to meet people to the point that he's so overexcited that he's hard to handle. After just a couple sessions with Omar, Moose now heels on the leash and we are learning techniques to help settle him down so everyone involved has a better experience meeting, including Moose. Walking our dog is finally a fun experience! Omar is very patient, communicates clearly, and takes time to answer our many questions. He's available between sessions for questions/advice, provides supplemental training videos, and even just checks in with us. We are so impressed with the quick progress we are making and are excited to keep working with Omar on more skills. Thank you, Omar!!
We're so happy to hear that Moose is making such great progress! It's fantastic that you're enjoying your walks together now.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It's a pleasure working with you and Moose, and we’re excited to continue helping you build on your success.

Omar helped us with a barking problem with our Cavalier, and it was so amazing! He spent the time to teach me and my family how to work with her natural instincts, and I’m so grateful! I would definitely recommend!

Ryanne has saved our family! Our pups were taking over and causing a lot of stress! The pups have enjoyed the training and exercises. We love working with Ryanne! She provides us with great information and support. It's going to be a long road, but thanks to you, we will get there! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Ryanne is an amazing trainer. She has helped us so much to train our dogs. One of which was rather aggressive towards other dogs and some people. That has all
Changed. They go on walks better. Mind our personal space more than ever. She tells us on the good thing we are doing and what we need to improve on to meet our goals with our furry family members. She is very thorough and detailed. 10/10 we would recommend her to train your dog.
