    Photo of Ivey Our dog totally calmed down! Ivey walked without her usual behavioral issues! She responded quickly to the behavioral techniques employed!

    Trainer Note:
    Ivey has been struggling with people in and around the home! She feels she has to assert herself and this has led to her barking constantly. Today was the first day in years she did not bark at the doorbell and was calm with guests in the home!

    Photo of Captian We were blown away with Joshua's knowledge and ability to explain the methodology behind the training techniques and how they've been developed with the way dogs think in mind. We saw immediate results with our pup Captain and are eager to continue our training at home now that Joshua has given us the tools we need to adjust Captain's behavior. Captain is on his way to becoming a happier, calmer, more well-adjusted member of the family as we continue our training. We're very grateful for Joshua's help and insight! I highly recommend Joshua and Bark Busters to anyone that wants to see results with their dog without the use of harsh tactics, but rather through positive reinforcement.

    Photo of Oakley / Ghita We saw a very positive improvement during our first session. Josh was focused and determined to work, effectively with our dogs to improve the issues we have with each dog!

    Oakley and Ghita responded very well during our first session! Ghita has been barking in the home and outside constantly for many years. Today was the first day she didn't bark when the doorbell rang! We addressed Oakley's leash manners and jumping with great success!

    Photo of Buddy Bear Joshua communicates very well. I felt comfortable on my initial call to Barkbusters when I spoke to his assistant. Today's training confirmed everything I was initially told. I was afraid I was going to have to give up my GSD, but now I am confident we will have many great years together!

    Trainer Note:
    Buddy Bear responded very well today during our first session. The biggest issue he was having was respect and leadership for his mom Janice. Today I taught Janice how to be a leader and how to guide and show Buddy! They both did really well today, and she was very happy because she thought she may have to get rid of him!

    Trainer Note:
    Burno has been struggling with separation anxiety and leash manners. Today we addressed these issues and also worked on his overall behavior. Now with his dad taking the lead Bruno is a much happier calmer pup! Saeid was very pleased with our first session! I am looking forward to their progress over the coming weeks.

    Photo of Reese Josh is very friendly and understanding of dogs innate behavior. With very little time spent we can already see improvement!

    Trainer Note:
    Working with Reese today was great, she is an awesome lab that picks up quickly! She responded very well during our first session today! We worked on her door manners, greeting people, and leash manners! We also worked on recall today as well! James was really happy to see his pup come when called! She is going to be a star in no time!

    Photo of Batman / Guinness It is always hard to hear that you are the one that is being controlled but we were given the tools to take back control with very manageable tools we already have! Great Experience!

    Trainer Note:
    Batman has had no leadership in his life up until now! This has led to a lot of behavioral issues and specifically resource guarding! Today we addressed these issues and also worked on his overall behavior. We also worked on Guinness anxiety and basic obedience! They all did really well today and Jeff is really pleased with the start!

    Photo of Charlie Great guidance in how to manage and control behavior, calm Charlie down and make sure he understands boundaries.

    Trainer Note:
    Charlie is a really great dog and now that Sally has taken the lead he can relax and let mom guide him. He has been struggling with aggression with people in the home and barking at the front door. Today he was calm and relaxed with the people coming through the front door for the first time.

    Today was a great first session! I really enjoyed meeting and working with Firenze today! We worked through her separation anxiety, barking, and leash manners! Now that Jan is the leader in the home Firenze can now officially start to relax knowing mom has got it!

    Photo of Bentley / Barkley I had a great first experience using Bark Busters. Our trainer, Joshua was a great trainer, he taught me and my dogs a lot of new tips! I have already noticed a difference in my dog's behavior on the first day and I cannot wait to continue to work with him.

    Trainer Note:
    Bentley and Barkley have been fighting recently. Today we worked on their sibling rivalry and addressed their jumping. Ove the coming weeks with Sianna establishing leadership the dogs should start to relax and respond and follow mom's lead!
