I was extremely desperate for help with my two Papillons. I have two males from the same litter, and they were fighting daily. My husband and I were convinced that we were going to have to rehome one of them. I called Bark Busters for help, and they sent Susan to us. My husband was very skeptical that she would be able to help us, but after the very first lesson, we saw immediate results. It took 3 visits, and our boys are back to being best friends again! It took a major commitment to work every single day with the training lessons she gave us. 8 weeks have passed and we are still working on separation anxiety, but the aggression is gone, and my boys walk perfectly on a leash. I'm truly very thankful for all of Susan's help, and I look forward to continue working to help my boys with their anxiety issues.
Susan was great and attentive to the different needs each of our boys had. At the end of the day big results in just one session and homework to do as the owner is truly the only one that can change their dog. Thank you Bark Busters! Great Experience :).
Dixie is a 5.5 month old GSP. She is smart, energetic, and sometimes hard headed, but when Susan came in she took control and had Dixie listing right away. With the tools that she showed us, Dixie is training every day and is pulling a lot less on leash, waiting at doors, has better recall, and is staying longer. All in 7 days! She still needs work, but I know that with Susan's help, Dixie will be the dog we can do life with.
I highly recommend Susan, and Bark Buster's for any dog and their human, that may need help becoming a happy family.
It is just one day after our first training session and already see a big improvement. We are able to stop Zeva's barking inside the house almost immediately. I also have more control outside. Now it's up to us humans to do our job with Zeva. Can't wait for further instruction.
Susan was great I could not have asked for a better person to work with myself and Judd. She started fresh with a puppy and he has turned out to be the best dog, well mannered and an all around great dog. I am so happy I made the decision to use Bark Busters because of Susan.
I followed all of the assignments and it paid off. Susan always made herself available and I can not say enough about her and her training skills.
Thank you Brian! You were an ideal client who followed all my instructions & suggestions. Judd is a great dog now. Enjoy each other.

Susan is patient, thorough with my pup and me. She helps with concrete examples of what to do and say, including how to stand, which voice to use, commands, etc. She worked with my older dog 5 years ago, and Metta is a delight—hasn’t forgotten a thing Susan taught her—and me!
Thank you Fran for calling me again to help with your new puppy. I appreciate you & your hard work with these delightful girls!

We brought Jerry home this fall and he has a lot of aggression issues after years of trauma before he came into our care. When Susan worked with him (and us) we saw immediate results that day. It was pretty incredible. With follow up practice, he has retained his new good behaviors and has been able to take on more. I also learned a great deal from Susan about how dogs think, interact, and the leadership they want and need from their owners so that they can be their best. We are just getting started on our journey with Jerry, but Susan has given us the tools, the guidance, and the plan to make sure Jerry is successful for life. She is so knowledgable about dog behaviors, it is amazing to watch. I realized why all of the methods and tactics I have used over the years with our dogs were not working. I cannot say enough good things about Susan! I recommend her to everyone I know. The training is worth every penny.
Thank you Charlotte! You are a delightful client who works hard with Jerry. Jerry is so lucky to be a part of your family!

Susan was absolutely AMAZING. I have a two year old German Shepherd mix who was very difficult on walks and around new people. My dog suffers from sever anxiety and seeing other dogs or other people she was not familiar with caused her to act aggressive making it impossible to go on walks or have new people over. Susan came in and within the first lesson, I saw major improvements. Now my dog is very well behaved and I have little to no problems with her. She is meeting new people and new dogs and is not terrified or aggressive anymore.
Thank you so much Rita! You worked very hard with Maya. I'm so glad that she is doing well.

I have a 10 year old female boxer, Lexie and had just moved to an apartment complex with her. She had previously lived in a single family home for her entire life. She was lunging and barking at cars, people and other dogs. Susan was a Lifesaver. I can ‘t say enough about the wonderful techniques she taught Lexie and I. We will forever be grateful to her! Thanks Susan!
