I recently adopted a 5 yr old puppy mill mama named Laika who has been very traumatized from living in a crate in a barn for her entire life with no experience in the outside world. Jeri was very thorough explaining what Bark Busters is all about and how she can help with rehabilitation, along with my husband’s and my involvement. She provided plenty of reading material, along with suggestions in helping our little girl acclimate to the real world. We have a long road ahead, but I feel confident with Jeri’s input and guidance, Laika will eventually be the kind of dog she was meant to be.
It was a pleasure working with Jeri. Her explanations were clear and concise and we feel prepared to help Finnegan become a wonderful and well behaved adult dog!
Jeri did an excellent job of explaining everything thoroughly and really focused on the educational piece of communication. We ended our first session feeling like we had a solid plan and a resource to help us through the training.
I met with Jeri and from the moment she started working with me and Sarge I instantly felt comfortable. Sarge has separation anxiety; the exercises we went over are easy enough to do. I feel encouraged with the follow up. I highly recommend Jeri and her program and approach. She was very knowledgeable, encouraging, and easy to work with.
Recently we took in a rehomed dog (who is a love), but there have been issues with aggression between a couple of my dogs. We have been at our wits end trying to manage the situation. We were referred to Jeri and BarkBusters. The response back was very quick and Jeri worked with us to schedule quickly. Jeri spent 4+ hours with us teaching us about the dogs behavior and how we need to be the leader. We learned many training exercises and started seeing successes while Jeri was with us. We are looking forward to working with Jeri as our training progresses and having a peaceful home with our dogs.
Jeri has helped my husband and I SOO much become better leaders for our dogs, Copper (2-year-old Bernedoodle) and Blossom (1 year old Bernese Mountain dog). She is so kind, inciteful, and very quick to respond. We recently adopted Blossom, who did not seem to have any prior training before us. We have working on her walking on a leash, not jumping up, not chewing everything she can get her mouth on, being more patient, and recall. Copper only really needed work on not jumping up and better recall. They both have excelled SO much with Jeri's lesson plan that she has provided us with! Not only has this taught us more about our dogs, but also about us and we have been shaped into better leaders for them. It's only been two months since we started training with Jeri, but I cannot wait to see how much better they will be by the end of the year. Highly recommend!!
Geri was friendly and was great at explaining what we needed to do and why. I was impressed with how well our dogs responded to the training in just the short time that Geri was at our home.
Thelma is a 6 year old black lab/pit bull mix that we adopted 2 years ago. Thelma is very well trained except for leash walking. We have tried many methods to train Thelma, but we were unable to control her sudden aggressive lunges when passing other dogs while walking. Thelma is a very powerful 75-pound dog who is extremely difficult to hold back. Her sudden lunges have resulted in a couple falls and one dislocated shoulder
Our vet recommended Jeri Wagner of Bark Busters. During Jeri’s initial visit, she taught us a number of leadership and communication exercises that immediately corrected the undesirable behaviors. Jeri also identified a few other undesirable behaviors that we were able to correct. For example, Thelma would run past me on the steps and push through the door as soon it opened. Now, Thelma always follows at least two steps behind me on the stairs, never passing me; and she waits away from the door until I tell her to enter or exit. When walking, Thelma stay precisely at my side with her collar never passing my leg. She stays on my right side when walking, never crossing in front or behind. She doesn’t try to charge ahead or lag behind to smell the flowers. After one week of me implementing changes recommended by Bark Buster, Thelma doesn’t charge at dogs, but she is definitely alert when passing. I expect, as long as I consistently follow the training schedule Jeri Wagner developed for us, that Thelma will soon be passing strange dogs as calmly as she currently passes walkers, joggers and bike riders.
I am very excited about the progress Thelma has made after only one week. Calling Bark Busters was the best decision I made regarding Thelma.

Jeri, was very good at telling me what to do to gain control of my dogs. She showed me videos that were to assist with setting boundaries.
