    Photo of Wondering what to do about your dog? You love your pup but maybe training is a bit off and you feel like your pup is just not “ trainable” you have started to just accept the way it is .. you would like to have a more behaved dog but something is just a miss? Well that was me and in a bit of desperation my hubby called Bark Busters and Ryanne came out to our house sat with us and educated us on dog speak/ green zone / yellow zone/ red zone and we have started the work and amazed at how our dog has adjusted to the new way! Resource aggression has been dealt with in a proper way several times already and we will keep doing our part as responsible owners to make a better experience for our pup and us!! Thx you Bark Busters for helping us learn how to be better dog owners!! ??❤️pick up the phone and know it will work for you too!!

    Photo of Stella & Ruby I can’t say enough amazing things about Bark Busters -especially Ryanne. Her confidence, knowledge, and skill exudes out of her. Her love and respect of dogs is evident in the way she teaches us humans how to read and respond to our dogs. She has set us up to be the best owners we can be and we couldn’t be more excited to continue working with her!

    Photo of I highly recommend Bark Busters. Omar came to my home this morning and thoroughly trained me how to respond to my dogs. I have seen nothing but, great results since he left. This training really works! I would give them a 100 stars if I could. I love how they train you to command the dogs where the dogs understand with no treats and shock/bark collars! So WORTH the investment!

    Photo of Kiah Omar was fantastic with our shy puppy. He gave us solid advice that gave us results right away. I'm looking forward to working with him more in the future.

    Photo of Kona Today was our first session with Omar. We have known for a while that our dog Kona is a very nervous, anxious, and reactive dog. But it wasn’t until working with Omar did we realize that Kona was living in a state of constant stress and feeling that she needed to be “on” at all times. Today, we saw a change in Kona’s demeanor and behavior within minutes of the first training exercise. We learned so much from Omar in just this first visit. We know we have a lot of work ahead but, we are confident that with Omar’s guidance we can have a much calmer, happier and non reactive dog.
    Thank you Omar and Bark Busters!

    Hi Amanda, Thank you so much for sharing your story with me and others. It was so incredible for me to see Kona is a state of relaxation. I definitely look forward to our follow up session(s) and continue building this amazing relationship with Kona.
    Cheers,
    Omar Rubio & Bark Busters

    Photo of Bo I’ve been impressed with the BarkBusters approach toward behavior training. Ryanne, our consultant has been great to work with. Very knowledgeable and available for us when we have questions, need a quick refresher lesson, whatever it might be. This approach makes sense to us and to our dog Bo.

    Photo of Milo My dog has recently begun to act aggressively towards new guests in our home, not biting exactly, but kind of nipping and barking at them. We thought we have tried everything when it comes to training, but Omar came in and right away there was a difference once we enforced the corrections and training that we were being taught to do in order to help our pups behaviors! Instantly, we saw results and are so excited to continue with these training sessions.

    Photo of Remi We have a German Sheppard who has a history of biting. The last time she bit was random and on another one of our pets in which they have been together for years. We feared for our baby and that she could bite him just as easily as biting our cat. We contacted our vet, and they told us to put her down. We couldn't give up on her so quick so with lots of research we came across Bark Busters, they were very quick to respond (even after business hours). In fact, they are the only ones in the cities that deals with biting/aggression. They made sure all of our questions were answered about training. The first day when Ryanne came out, she really educated us on how our dogs mind thinks, and really put it into perspective for us. We immediately saw results from the first visit. We have continued to work with our dog, and I can confidently say were not scared of her being around our baby. We highly recommend Ryanne, she has gone above and beyond to help us, I mean she has even brought her own dog to help us with aggression. She is always quick to text us back, follow up and make sure all of our questions or concerns are taken care of. I will be recommending her services for years to come. Thanks Ryanne!!

    Photo of Like others, we have two dogs and were at wits end. Both dogs are rescues and our younger dog is very anxious and reactive. We could not walk them down the street without them barking howling and lunging when we saw another dog. We just moved to this new home mid-October and have hardly met anyone cause our neighbors (and their dogs) hide when they see us out walking. I saw the reviews for Bark Busters and we decided to give it a try. Omar came to meet us this past Sunday morning.

    Yes, the initial 3 hour training is long but it really is “owner training” not dog training, though we spent quite a bit of time off and on working with the dogs in those 3 hours as well.

    After Omar left we let the dogs sleep and took care of chores. That evening we took the dogs for a walk. It was like walking different dogs. We stopped and chatted with two neighbors. The first one had his dog out and ours paid it no attention. The 2nd neighbor had his dog inside but our dogs know there is a dog at that home. In both cases our dogs mostly just sat quietly at our feet looking at us for a sign to move on.

    It is pleasant to walk the dogs so far which also means lots more walking for them which they love. Other behaviors are also night and day. We are going to continue practicing and are very much looking forward to our next session!
