I was very impressed that treats or "punishment" are not used. My 2 yr old English Mastiff came to me a little over a month ago. He had no leash training or obedience training at all. His other people literally drug him around by his collar! Derek helped me get a collar on Henry and we walked around my yard on leash to very good results.
Henry and I did about 18 minutes today on leash, and he did very well. He has been wearing his collar for a couple hours today, and doesn't seem to know it is on him. This is progress!
Derek and Lissette are so amazing at what they do they are there for you with just a phone call away even text or email messaging. we adopted captain 1yr old Labrador and they began training him while he was in the rescue home and they have done 2 sessions 2-3 hour sessions, of course helping and guiding us how to educate and correct him of what's right and wrong easy techniques. Of course we totally recommend bark busters for any dog training you need no matter what age your dog is....thanks Derek and Lissette from the Cruz family
"NO!" "STOP!" "Bad girl!" "AHHH!" All common and constant things said (yelled) in our house before we called Bark Busters. I have owned dogs before, but none as unruly as our sweet puppy Penelope. I say "sweet" because deep down we knew she was, and saw glimpses of it occasionally. Derek came out and trained us how to "think dog". He was at our house for about 2.5-3 hours the first time working with us and Penelope, then gave us homework! A little like school, having to remember things and do things a certain way, and having the pay off at the end. It's been over a month since we called Derek for help and the changes we have seen in our Penny are amazing. "It is a marathon, not a sprint." She is no where near winning the "Most Behaved Dog" award, but she's on her way. Now in our house you'll hear more, "Good girl!" "Good... (command, mostly leave it and drop it)" "Thank you for the kisses!" and "What a sweet girl! (because she is more now)" I only regret not calling them sooner and saving myself months of frustration! There's a reason they're the best, and worth every single penny!!
I have only just begun to work with Derek and Lissette @ Bark Busters but I am very excited to continue my training. I was feeling helpless before Lissette came in and gave me some tools to work with. After just the first training session I began to feel empowered. I have the tools to be successful and the support I need to raise a well mannered dog. Derek and Lissette are always just a phone call away. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bark Busters. I would highly recommend their services.
My husband and I heard about Derrek and Lissette@ BarkBusters when we adopted our 2 year old Pit bull from Henderson Animal Shelter. We hired them in February to help us train him along with a 9 year old Yorkie and a Morkie pup!
I can't say enough GREAT about this couple. They are professional, kind, caring people. Their hearts are huge with so much genuine concern for the dogs and the owners. They are quick to come back whenever needed or to just talk through situations over the phone. They are so patient!
Well worth the investment. Just be ready to do your homework.
I have a 3 year old pitbull with fear aggression, food aggression, pulls on walks, anxiety, jumps, you name it.
After being with Bark Busters for 5 months, our dog has shown amazing progress!! He no longer pulls on walks, rarely jumps, won't even touch his food/treats until I allow him to, and he is slowly, but surely, showing less aggression towards strangers. It is definitely a process but if you're willing to put in the effort and practice, practice, practice, you will not be sorry!
Lissette and Derek are wonderful trainers! They really have a passion for this and are very knowledgeable people. They're very quick to respond with any questions you may have and give great recommendations on just about everything to make sure your pet is getting the best care. I love that they also only use positive reinforcement. The fact that you're also paying for the LIFE of the DOG and Bark Busters are located just about all over the US is awesome; definitely worth the money!
I give them 5 stars and recommend them to anyone having dog issues. Your dog deserves the best life and Lissette and Derek can help!
This is my 1st experience with a puppy & training. I had no idea what to expect. Both Derek & Lissette are very knowledgeable in the field. Not only did they customize training sessions around our house for our mutt, a Huskie LabraDoodle, but they gave us great advice on nutrition & sleeping arrangements. Our lil man has excelled in his potty training & jogging alongside with me within a month. I am very pleased with my results & their instructions for success. I highly recommend their services.
We rescued our 8 year old miniature Dachshund, Gusto, 5 years ago. He has always had anxiety based aggression: non-stop barking, running around the house, has bitten my husband and more friends then I'd care to share, couldn't ride in the car without screaming and scrambling and was insanely protective of me. We contacted Bark Busters Las Vegas 7 days ago, spoke to Derek and Lissette was at our home 2 days later. I only wish we had given our household this gift of peace years ago!
Lissette came to our home by herself last Wednesday as they felt that that was the best approach due to his aggression. 2.5 hours later, we had homework, a new hierarchy and a very different dog. We've done the homework every day, followed all her instructions and 5 days later:
1) My sister came to visit this weekend. There was no terrifying barking, herding, snarling, stalking. Gusto jumped up on the couch next to her, rolled over and let her pet his belly.
2) He rode in the car, silently in the back seat for a full lap around the block. I can't wait to see this progress!!!! ROAD TRIPS!
3) I was home alone today and the doorbell rang. Within 5 seconds I had him silent, sitting perfectly still 10 feet behind me and he STAYED there while I opened the door, had a minute-long conversation with 2 men, closed the door and turned to face him. Then he waited until I called him over, showered him with praise and tons of belly rubs!
We will diligently continue with our daily homework. It is an absolute joy as the results are painless and complete! They are scheduled to come visit again in 2 weeks and I can't wait to continue reprogramming all of the mammals under our roof :-). Thank you Bark Buster Las Vegas for giving us peace and harmony with ZERO shock collars, treat rewards (our old food monster is gone!) or cruel feeling training methods!
Dog whisperer status! It's my 1st time fostering a dog & this little female Italian Greyhound came from a hoarding situation, then was in the pound for 3 months, then was rescued by Wagging Tails & now has come to my home. She has been thru quite a lot & was understandably scared stiff for the first 2 weeks at my home & wouldn't acknowledge my dog(also an Italian Greyhound) or any humans. She would not let people pet her or pick her up & she would often freeze & tremble out of fear anytime I entered a room that she was in or even just spoke. Lissette came to my home & within 10 mins had the scared little rescue dog (Cosette) looking & listening to her & got her to come out of her hiding spot in my bedroom. Then only about 10-15 mins after that she was able to sit next to Cosette and pet her without the rescue IG shaking or running away. It was miraculous to see the potential in this little rescue girl and how quickly she responded to Lissette. I should've sought out guidance from Lissette at Bark Busters way sooner! Don't hesitate to get help from Lissette & Derek!
My husband and i were VERY hesitant when it came to contacting Bark Busters to assist us with some issues we were having with our Maltese & Yorkie. In the past we had spent close to $1,000 with a trainer and faithfully carried out the training methods we were shown after the sessions had ended,needless to say the methods we were shown were not working. To make a long story short the previous training methods we were shown may have caused more issues rather than solve existing ones. Fast forward to contacting Bark Busters. With Bark Busters this was not the case at all from the moment of our first conversation/consultation to the first training session we were educated in a way that was both easy to understand and made perfect sense to us. Behaviors were addressed and reasoning behind those behaviors were brought to light which also helped us as pet owners. Their training methods and techniques are not like any we've had in the past yet it worked for us and continues to work for us. It also gave us great peace of mind to know that for the life of our dogs we would have Bark Busters to rely on if we need a refresher.
