    Photo of Max Our family selected Bark Busters for our in-home training needs and it was the best decision we made. Max is 4.5 years old Pitbull, Beauceron, Lab mix, 80lbs & was adopted into our home 2.5 years ago. We were discussing the process of re-homing our beloved dog Max when I found Bark Busters on google. Max was aggressive when visitors came to the home and we had to keep him lock in a crate or separate room. He would incisively bark at mail man, delivery persons, neighbors walking by the house on the sidewalk. Max began becoming aggressive with my oldest son and his girlfriend over the last 8 months. After doing a ton of research and reading countless reviews regarding correcting aggressive and protective dog behavior I was willing to give it a try in hopes we could enjoy many more years with our dog. From the first phone call to the first visit; the service was 10/10. Marcus called and completed a thorough intake of Max and the behaviors we had experienced. We were sent instructions to follow leading up to the first consultation. We sent videos of Max prior to first meeting to allow our assigned behavior specialist an opportunity to observe Max behavior. The first visit was extremely educational. The trainer went into depth about why Max behaves the way he does and helped us develop communication skills with Max that he understood that would allow us to correct these behaviors. Within in the first 2 hours Max went from a dog that would jump through a window to guard this house from anyone passing by on the sidewalk or attempting to approach the door, now he sits calmly on the floor not triggered in the slightest by the Fed Ex delivery people. Our walks have become more enjoyable and easier now that Max understand that I am his pack leader. There is respect, boundaries, trust and communication. All things that were lacking for the last 2.5 years since we had adopted Max from the shelter. Our first visit with Bark Busters was 2 weeks ago and Max continues to build on his confidence daily in learning to trust his humans and that we will handle any situation. Max is much friendlier, calmer, respectful, playful, chill. The family is learning to exhale and trust Max again and the children are also building confidence in correcting Max when if he is triggered.

    Photo of Ellie Mae We are absolutely amazed! We have a 3 year old Cockerpoo that we purchased during COVID. Because of that, she didn't get the socialization that she would have received. Ellie Mae was anxious, barked all the time at anything, people walking their dogs by our house, delivery trucks, basically anything or for no reason. We have had 4 trainers for Ellie Mae in 3 years and we never saw a difference in her behavior. That is until we found Jenna at Bark Busters!!
    Oh my goodness! What a huge difference! Our home is so much more peaceful! We now have the tools to stop the barking before it escalates. Now when she barks, which is less and less, we stop it! Bark Busters are dog behaviorists and that makes all the difference.
    There are still some things that we are working on, like when people come to the house and how to keep Ellie Mae in her place when we open the door to let our guests in, but we have such harmony and Ellie Mae seems so much happier! She's not on guard all the time and not on high alert. She is much more relaxed!
    We had friends over the other night and they couldn't get over the change in Ellie Mae. It's so noticeable.
    We are absolutely thrilled and so grateful to have found Jenna and Bark Busters. We are clients for life!
    JENNA, YOU ARE AMAZING!
    Thank you so much,
    M~ & M

    Photo of Sebastian & Coco I couldn't be happier with my first session with trainer, Josh, for my Toy Poodles. He explained his techniques, provided clear training instructions, and offered valuable insights on improving my dogs' behaviors. I highly recommend Bark Busters!

    Photo of Raina Today we had our first session.it was above and beyond my expectation.Theresa is awesome! I was at the point of giving up training our puppy. She is very knowledgeable and thorough making sure our goals were being met. Not only was my puppy learning, but we were also learning. I’m so pleased with the progress my puppy made in the first session and moving forward.

    Photo of Brooklyn Amber is very patient, kind, and informative. She explained as she began to train our pup, Brooklyn. Brooklyn is a very rambunctious pup and Amber is helping us use techniques to curb her puppy teething. During the first session Brooklyn has already taken to basic commands such as "sit, down and come." Brooklyn has also been trained the "free" command when exiting her crate or playpen. She will not come out until we say "free." Pretty amazing.

    Amber, we have alot of work ahead of us and we look forward to you training Brooklyn and especially to training her daddy, me! Of course my wife Jaclyn as well. She doesn't need training, just some guidance. Again, thank you very much.
