We saw an almost immediate improvement in our little girls behavior. She's very responsive to the training. Would definitely recommend.

We called Bob in to come help with our pup and we saw a difference within the first session. After 2 weeks of implementing his strategies we've only built upon that improvement. Thank you, Bob!

My German Shepherd mix, Cooper, is about 3 years old and had a lot of bad defensive habits. He would snap and lash out at people who got too close to me, especially if I wasn't looking in their direction. Sporting events were nerve racking because whenever we'd celebrate a big play he'd get scared and snap at my guests. These issues, plus smaller issues with jumping up on me too much, pushing past me to get to the door, and being very difficult to walk (pulling, going different directions), led me to seek professional help with dog training. I searched Google and immediately found the well-reviewed Bark Busters. I filled out a small inquiry form on the site and Bob got back to me the next day. We scheduled an appointment at my house and from that day on, my boy Cooper has been a completely different dog! Bob gave me all the advice and tips on how to effectively communicate with dogs, how to correctly react to their behavior, and how to easily prepare Cooper for his previously problematic situations. He showed us how to remove bad walking habits and now Cooper will run with me right at my heel. Is he still young and learning? Absolutely. Anything great will take time to achieve, but he gave me tools to get some immediate impact and had most of the issues resolved within 2-3 weeks. The best part is that it is not specific to just one dog, you can use these techniques with any dog and I've had success using them on some family dogs as well. I cannot recommend Bark Busters highly enough, they really did make life with my dog so much better!

Thank you so very much for your generous words. Expect to see more and more improvements as Cooper's respect for your leadership continues to develop and Cooper matures. Your guarantee never expire, so please call me anytime -- 281.733.1077

I was super hesitant to contact Bark Busters since I’ve been through a dog training program prior that seemed to help a bit but my pit bull was still occasionally being aggressive. I was concerned that Bob would have the same tricks as the rest of the dog trainers out there, but boy was I wrong. Bark Busters and Bob in particular teach you behavioral tricks that can get your dog to stop unwanted behavior within seconds. I tried doing every google and tik tok trick in the book and nothing works even remotely close to how good the training works from Bark Busters. So so glad I gave yall a call and got connected to Bob. If you’re consistent with the training the results are incredible. THANK YOU BOB!!

As you now know well, the Bark Busters method is very different than all the others. You now know how to speak to dogs to let them know when you are pleased and when you are displeased. It's not a "trick". Rather, it's communication and it is really simple. For the rest of your dog's life's call me if you ever need dog help -- 281.733.1077

Would recommend Bob for ANY kind of behavioral issues with your dogs! We have had aggression and boundary problems with our three corgis for a few months with absolutely no luck with any advice or training we were able to find. We found Bob's service and how highly recommended it came, and our dogs' behaviors have taken a complete 180 degree turn! The training Bob gave us with worked IMMEDIATELY, and has continually paid dividends over time. The tools that were provided for us will help us with our current dogs, and any dogs we have for the rest of our lives. The investment we made with Bob at Bark Busters was absolutely worth every penny, and we'd highly recommend his services to anyone looking to address problematic behavior with their dogs.

Bob is great! He has helped me train my Puppy Cane Corso Zeus since he was 16 weeks old. He is now 5 1/2 months old. I completely trust all of Bobs training methods and have worked very well on Zeus. Thanks so much Bob!!

We have a 5 month blue heeler that has aggressively been resource guarding and space guarding. To the point that I was bitten more than once. I really thought this was going to end badly for our pup…..until we called Bob with Bark Busters. We are putting his methods to work and seeing very positive results in a short time. It’s not cheap but it is well worth it to teach our dog how to be a part of the family.

Bob is great! We started working with him when our furbaby was only about 2 months old. He had some great techniques for us on how to get her to listen to us which has worked like a charm. He came back recently at about 5-6 months old to work on leash training. After just one session, she did amazing! I took her for a walk later that night and she stayed right by my side. He will be coming back in a month to make sure everything is still going good. His saying is "if things aren't getting better the next day, call him" and he means it. I haven't had to reach out too many times since our girl is doing so good but whenever I have reached out, he always was there to answer and come out if needed. His training style isn't necessarily to train the dog but to train the owners. If you're looking for someone who is going to do all the work, then I would look elsewhere but training a pup starts with daily training from the owner and that is what he teaches you to do. I would recommend him to all my family and friends. The tips he teaches you is stuff that will last a lifetime. If you plan to get another dog, there would be no need to have him come back out because you'll already know what to do! 10/10!
