Bark Busters

I simply cannot say enough good things about Leigh Ann and Barkbusters! In May we rescued our sweet boy Stanley who was about 1 1/2 years old (think teenager with attitude) and came from a situation of abandonment and abuse (so also a few fear issues). When my son came home from deployment in July I couldnt wait for him to meet our sweet new baby. Well, it did not go as planned and when they met our "sweet Stanley" bit our son! Needless to say I was crying, the dog was scared to death, my son was trying to keep me from being so upset and it was just a hot mess and the whole visit was then tainted. We absolutely adored this little dog so we knew we had to do something. We called Barkbusters and during the first lesson we saw amazing progress!!! Now to wrap this long review up because you are not reading a book.........my son came back for a family funeral at the end of October and it was a completely different visit, and has now come home for Christmas and it's like they are best friends! He barked when he first saw him, but after a quick correction it's like he realized who it was and was so happy to see him. This has brought so much relief to my husband and I. We highly recommend and are so very, very thankful for Leigh Ann and Barkbusters!!! More...

Justin is absolutely amazing. I have a 5 month old Rottweiler/German Shepard, who is as sweet as can be, but was just such a nervous and anxious little guy that it was really important to me that before he got any older we got some of his bad habits under control. I decided to go with Justin because, as I'm sure you're noticing, there's nothing but amazing things about him. And boy are they right. From the get go what I really appreciated about Justin was that he was so patient, he took time to listen to all of my concerns, and without making me feel like an idiot, explained the basics of how dogs learn and why we were going to be doing everything we did. I feel like he not only gives you the tools to help you and your dog, but the why. And then following our visit, he has reached out a few times a day to check in, making me feel 1. Held accountable to do the homework he gave, and 2. So incredibly supported in the process Since our time with Justin, my little dude has been a completely different dog. He is so confident and calm, I have been able to take him on walks and for the first time not worry about him barking and lunging at anyone who passes. (Low key went home  and cried after our first walk it was such a radicle difference) I have been more confident in myself as a dog mom knowing how to correct him in ways that are gentle and purposeful. Bringing Justin in was the best decision I made in building and strengthening our little pack. Do yourself a favor, hire Justin, do the homework it gives you(it's super easy and makes all the difference) and watch your dog transform.  Thank you Justin. Reggie and I are so happy to have met you. More...

Brandon is fantastic! My pomsky who is just over a year old has been having issues with peeing in the house, jumping on my cats, nipping, anxiety, and losing his mind when he sees another dog on the street. We researched many places and decided to go with Bark Busters. We couldn't be happier with Bark Busters. We set up our appointment and met Brandon. It was amazing the amount of knowledge he gave us the first day before training with our dog. Brandon is knowledgeable, professional, dependable and patient with our lack of skills with our dog. When training began, we saw how much of an impact his skills had on the behavior almost immediately. Brandon showed us techniques we would not of thought of on our own and saw the positive impact on our dog. We love how Bark Busters are available by phone ALWAYS for our needs and are more than willing to do follow up visits to assist in training or answer a simple question. If you are reading this looking for help with your dog I would tell you yes and call them to see for yourself. The price may seem like a lot but when you think about the lifetime commitment they make to your dog it is worth every penny. Just setting up a handful of trainings with other companies would cost just as much. Thank you Brandon for being there for us when we need it. More...

Bark Busters Home Dog Training was the first trainer I hired for my Golden Retriever Bodi. At the time, he was a newly rescued big, obnoxious 10-month-old puppy who jumped on people, dug out under fences, and didn't listen. Leigh Ann came and assessed Bodi, and in just a couple of sessions, she helped him be the amazing dog he is today! Though I had fostered before, he was my first dog. I really needed the training more than my dog did, and I learned so much from how she got Bodi to focus and take direction. It wasn't long after her training that I enrolled him in therapy dog training. He was the youngest dog at the time, and I was told because of his age, he would likely not pass the test. But he did pass, and he's been phenomenal since then. Bodi is now a certified therapy dog and service dog with 9 years of experience under his belt. He could not be a more perfect dog, and I am certain that it's because Leigh Ann of Bark Busters laid the foundation for Bodi to excel. More...

Keith is an amazing trainer! We had Keith help us with our new rescue that we adopted from a pretty rough shelter. Focus and acclimating her with our family cats were our main goals. Well, less than 24 hours after our first session, our girl is showing amazing progress. Keith has a calm, reassuring demeanor that really puts the dog at ease. He is also very good at communicating with us pet parents, giving us all the tools to make the training achievable and results stick. Our girl came out of her crate this morning and walked through the house focused on her dad, and not her kitty siblings. She is more relaxed on the leash and immediately responsive to commands. When we do need to use correction, she responds immediately and positively, showing that the training is helping to build her confidence within our family. We are beyond pleased with the results of our first session, and beyond grateful to Keith for his guidance. Can't wait to have him back to see her progress! More...

Dan was absolutely fantastic! The training and curriculum are so natural to him and my Macy can clearly sense the control. She was a different puppy after Dan and I was a different dog owner. The initial cost might seem steep for some people but the unlimited training sessions within a year and unconditional support from Dan were worth it. It was the best investment I could have made with Macy. Prior to meeting Dan, Macy was a German Shepherd with separation anxiety and high prey drive. The level of focused training Macy got from Dan was impressive. It started with in-home training sessions followed by checkups and homework assignments for both the pup and human. I couldn't be happier with the results. Macy behaves perfectly on the leash now. She is always responsive to commands even when there are distractions. Thank you, Dan, for training Macy which allows me to enjoy her so much more. More...

Derek and Lisette are experts at training dogs to learn to obey their owners. We've had them help us with a variety of obedience related issues for both our puppies and every time they show us how to instill a sense of respect that dogs don't necessarily have for their owners. Dogs are amazing animals that are great companions, but they need training to learn how to behave. And we humans need training to understand how to properly communicate with our furry friends. If they aren't properly trained they can exhibit problematic behaviors and they wind up being blamed for these behaviors. But as Derek and Lisette teach us, it's not the dog's fault, it is the owner's failure to teach proper behavior and boundaries. As first time dog owners of a French Bulldog and and English Bulldog, we've had quite a bit of a learning curve. Without Bark Busters we would have continued to struggle and not known how to get our pups to behave. The BB method works. In addition to a solid training method, Derek and Lisette are always available to help out if your dog is struggling with issues such as resource guarding and marking, etc. They quickly respond and provide help as soon as they can. They teach you how to train your dog and offer excellent advice related to nutrition and the health for your dogs. I highly recommend Derek and Lisette to train your dogs. More...

To say I was amazed after my first appointment with Luis would be lying, because I was UTTERLY amazed!!! After my first appointment with Luis my dog, Lotus, was like a brand new pup! My sweet,  lovable, little dog had bit a few people over the course of a year and I knew I needed to do something to make him feel secure in his surroundings again and protect those who dared to enter our home.  Luis spent about two hours with me only training and talking about dog's needs and how to calmly keep them in line. With a few simple techniques we then introduced Luis to my dog.  I couldn't believe how a few tools could change our lives.  I once again feel confident when someone enters my home that Lous listen to me.  Luis also helped me to get his barking under control and door boundaries.  I couldn't be happier with my training and Luis is South Florida's "Caesar" only better because he is incredibly accessible.  After leaving my dog with a friend for 10 days while I was away for business I noticed he was not listening as well as when we were practicing before i left.  I called Luis for a refresher and he was at my place within the week to remind me of the fundamentals.  To top it off, Luis is the most gentle and genuine trainer and I can't thank him enough for so good with animals!! I'm glad I found him! More...

I have had only great experiences working with Jenny. She is responsive to our needs and communicates quickly and effectively. While our dogs have minor behavioral problems compared to really aggressive dogs, we have noticed a great improvement with the techniques she has shown us. We have seen great improvements when it comes to rushing at the front door, barking at any little noise, fighting over food and toys, and especially walking on the leash. My older dog had gotten into a fight with my mom's dog over a toy as well as my friend's dog without being provoked. That was the tipping point to getting professional help. That has not happened since as we have learned the tools to intervene and prevent it as soon as we see warning signs. The techniques have also applied well to all other dog interactions we have had. Now, he can play with both of the dogs he had previous issue with without any worry.My older dog also had a horrible fear of the Roomba to the point where we couldn't use it because he would get bloody diarrhea from stress. Working with Jenny helped us relieve his stress and we can now use it with minimal fuss or concern from him. We had tried everything before that the vet had recommended (mainly putting treats on the Roomba to get a good association and trying to run it until he got used to it) and it wasn't until Jenny's help that we were able to get him calm.She has also helped us with his separation anxiety and he now walks perfectly on the leash. She has helped with general behavior training with both of our dogs. Like any type of training, consistency is key and relaxing for too long will allow them to fall back into bad habits. I found that my verbal corrections stopped working with my older dog when I was relaxing with the rest of his training. It's all correlated.With Jenny's help, training my puppy has been so much easier than I thought it would be. We have gotten her to come to us when called significantly faster than our older dog. She is not without her challenges as she is much more strong-willed than our older dog.Jenny is great. She is kind, caring to our dogs, and very educational. We really appreciate all that she has done to help us and our dogs. They are less stressed and much happier knowing where they are in the pack as are their humans.I referred Jenny to our friends whose dogs would not stop pulling on their leashes even if it would choke them. She helped them learn how to walk with slack in the leash and minimal pulling. I highly recommend her. More...

Where can I begin....well for starters we have a 6 year old pug, Duke. We moved from a different state to CA a couple of years ago. When we were back home Duke went to doggy daycare and we thought we did everything right, except for one thing he would be extremely aggressive towards strangers, so anyone entering our home if we took him on a walk, etc. Now his aggressive would be lunging, barking, doing the pug scream. I'm not sure if you've ever heard a pug scream but it's intense. So we moved out here for the weather, and what comes with the weather...more activities. We are very active, always going on walks, except we kept running into the issue of having to pick him up if we walked past anyone or hope that he would ignore the individuals passing us by. It was so bad that we tried to have friends over and he just barked the entire time and would jump up aggressively. The moment, I know everyone has the moment was when I took him on a quick walk and I was on my way home, when a lady was close by and said "Oh what a cute pug". 3...2...1 pug scream and lunging, this was right in front of our place, and a neighbor said, "I'm glad that isn't my dog". In the famous words of Bridget Jones..that was the moment. I did so much research as I didn't want to try just any trainer and traumatize Duke and go backwards. So, I found Justin when I found Justin I spoke with his assistant, and he told me that Justin could fix any issue. Honestly, I was willing to try anything, it was so stressful for Duke and he was always so protective. He's such an amazing dog, and it was so hard to tell people as he was pug screaming that he's really sweet and the best dog ever once you get to know him. So fast forward, Justin came over and we had Duke in a separate room while we met with Justin, and I honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I wasn't expecting to see such a change in Duke in those couple of hours. Justin took Duke's behavior and taught us how to correct it in a healthy way where we are the "pack master" which is so important. We never had these tools, and I felt like I failed my dog. He is the best dog ever, and is now soooo well behaved. We go on walks, and I have conversations with people and he just stays by my side the whole time and is so quiet and well behaved. People will pet him, and he doesn't lunge, he's just chill and so sweet. He's the way he is around us, in public. We have now had people in our home since he was trained, strangers as in a handyman, etc. Duke greeted and inspected each individual aka sniff and walked away. Duke walks alongside me now on every walk, he doesn't pull ahead, it's magic. So in conclusion, I am so grateful, and if I could give Justin a million stars I would. Our lives have changed in such an amazing way! We even had my inlaws in town for a visit, and I had them walk Duke by themselves, and they passed people and Duke ignored them completely and just enjoyed the walk. Thank you Justin, we are so happy and Duke is the happiest pug ever! Cheers! More...

Justin is truly a miracle worker! If you have been told that your dog is a lost cause and/or failed at obedience classes, give Bark Busters a call! First, let me describe my dog's prior behavior. I have a 1.5 year old Belgian Malinois who was purchased on Craigslist by a previous owner and has already had 3 prior owners. He is a sweet angel at home but would become very aggressive on the leash towards other dogs or people who caught him off guard. He had broke through THREE gentle leaders from lunging at other dogs/people, jumped out of a screened bedroom window, nipped at strangers, and more. I signed Lucky up for obedience school at a reputable Obedience Club in SD and the trainer pulled me aside to ask if I really wanted this dog because he was going to be a liability and assured me he would stay skittish and aggressive because it was his personality and that I'd never be able to take him in public with friends, etc. (I believe she was trying to be helpful with her honest, professional opinion and years of experience, but luckily, she proved to be wrong- thanks to Justin ) We did not go to another training class because we had to stay so far away from the group, that I couldn't even hear what was being said. Next, Justin came to the house. Within minutes, Lucky was behaving in a way I had not seen before. He was immediately obedient to Justin's approach. Justin was patient in teaching his technique (although it is very easy) and answering every question I had about Lucky's list of behaviors. He even offered to Skype if I had any questions/needs when I move to Nebraska this winter. As soon as Justin left, I put my skills to the test and Lucky is a whole new dog!! I could never dream of how calm he is on the leash! It is amazing. As a dog parent, it will melt your heart to see your previously-stressed dog at ease. I would highly, highly recommend Bark Busters and Justin to any struggling dog owner. Your dog will thank you!! (Pics for cuteness) More...

Scheduling an appointment and working with Justin was the BEST investment I could have ever made in my two rescue dogs. In just two hours, Justin completely changed the dynamic in my household, and showed me how to be the pack leader of my two dogs who were consistently showing aggressive and reactive behaviors. I had been feeling extremely hopeless for a long time and would rarely ever take my dogs out of the house for fear that they would cause a problem. After the first session with Justin, it was as though I had completely different dogs. I have never been more excited about my life with my two rescues. I look forward to our daily walks and no longer fear that the worst might happen. I had reached out to one trainer before finding Justin and Bark Busters, and this individual wanted to charge me twice as much for only six weeks of work, with no guarantee anything would be solved in this time. What really sold me about Bark Busters (and Justin) was that I have Justin's support and guidance for the life of both of my dogs. He also provided me the necessary tools and equipment to train my dogs during the first lesson. It was obvious that Justin really cared about helping me and my dogs. At one point during the session, I became so overcome with emotion and excitement because I couldn't believe what was happening, and I could tell Justin was just as happy for us.

Justin is a miracle worker! We have a very fearful & protective pittie/mastiff mix, who has shown clear signs of abuse from a previous owner. Every since adopting him, he has been aggressive towards strangers, particularly older men, and extremely leash reactive to both humans & dogs. He would also bark & swarm the door anytime someone knocked on it. It is safe to say taking him on walks, prior to our first training session, was extremely stressful for both us, and our boy Kane, who is nothing but a massive sweetheart with people he knows & trusts. We have also had to be extremely careful introducing him to new people, which we have tried to avoid most of the time. We are providing this review after just ONE training session...we can't express how amazed we are with the progress that was made in just 2-2.5 hours. Our pup is no longer pulling on the leash, his leash reactivity has significantly diminished, and he is responding immediately to everything we do with him. He is clearly so much calmer and less stressed out, and so are we! Justin definitely knows how to "speak dog"; it's like magic! On top of that, Justin does an amazing job explaining the training techniques thoroughly & affectively. He is super personable and easy to communicate with. Additionally, he is super easy to reach over the phone - checks in with us and is there for us for any questions/help. We have to admit, we were super skeptically going into this...it's a lot of money to provide at one time, and the reviews honestly seemed too good to be true.
