    Photo of Lily I learned so much in just a few hours that I can definitely apply immediately. I am already seeing results. I am so grateful for Joshua and his vast knowledge.

    Trainer Note:
    Staci was really great to teach and work with her pup Lily is a very smart pup. We are teaching her some basics and addressed her barking. I gave her mom Staci several exercises to simulate her mentally and also address her behavior. With consistency Lily will continue improving.

    Photo of Moose / Argo Josh was absolutely amazing! He took his time to explain his entire method to us and really helped us to understand not only *what* to do, but *why*. He answered all of our questions, and our dogs responded to the training immediately. They were seriously so good within MINUTES of Josh's arrival. My husband and I feel fully prepared and confident to continue our dog's training after Josh taught us what to do! Thank you so much!

    Photo of Freya Josh was positive, inviting, and easy to talk to. He really explained a lot about why our dog behaves the way she does and how to correct it. He also helped us do practical training ourselves, so we can repeat them ourselves.

    Rebecca picked up our training techniques very quickly and her dog Freya responded very well to her. She was very surprised in how her dog reacted. Freya had been very reactive on leash, and she had been struggling to walk her. Today we addressed it and she was calm walking past and around dogs! Mom was proud!

    Tony is a great pup and responded very well during our first session. We addressed all the puppy basics and his potty training. With Mandi being consistent Tony will continue to improve. With Mandy showing him leadership and guiding him Tony will be a happy pup!

    Really great first session with Dusty and Luna! They are really cute and responded really well during our first session. We addressed potty training, crate training and mouthing nipping. We're setting them up for success and their future.

    Photo of Bailey / Roswell Learning about leash tension being a trigger was a saver! Enjoy my time learning and gaining tools to manage dogs!

    Trainer Note:
    Roswell responded very well during our first session. Today was the first time he passed a dog and did not react. We identified his triggers, and we gave Lauren the tools to work and teach him. With her being consistent he will continue to improve. We also addressed Bailey's reactivity to men in the home and her over all behavior.

    Photo of Otto Joshua was very patient! This is our first puppy, and we finally feel like we have a plan! Very excited to continue working with him!

    Trainer Note:
    Otto is a cute little pup! He responded very well during our first training session. We started with just a few basic things and spent some time with Ottos mom helping plan for his future. We also addressed some of typical puppy behaviors and his potty training. I am looking forward to seeing his progress.

    Photo of JoJo It was amazing and we saw such an improvement in just the short amount of time in the first session. Josh brought out a new side of JoJo and showed us how to fulfill her needs as a dog. Would recommend to everyone!

    JoJo is an amazing dog she is very smart and has the eagerness to please. During our first session she responded wonderfully. We addressed her dog reactivity and separation anxiety. She has just found her new forever home and has been struggling. Now with Kevin and Michelle guiding her she is going to be a well-behaved pup!

    Trainer Note:
    Buddy has been guarding his new mom, he was also being very aggressive towards men and her husband and son in the home. Today we addressed his separation anxiety and his new mom showed him that she is the leader in the home. He was not aggressive with me in the home and her husband was able to pet him for the first time. Really great success during our first lesson.

    Photo of Cookie Joshua from Bark Busters is wonderful! He observed our little dog for about 20 minutes before meeting her. He started our training by telling us about dog hierarchy and how to become the leader. It turned out that we were actually reinforcing the behavior we hoped to correct. Truly eye-opening. He worked with us both inside & outside of our home, then on the leash. The change was immediate. We have continued using the techniques he gave us and the barking and constant patrolling our yard has almost disappeared. And it's only been 6 days! He spent almost three hours with us. It was a lot of information. But you also get very easy to read and review handouts so you can always review his information. I'm am so glad we hired him. I just wish we would have know about Bark Busters earlier. Thanks again Joshua!
