    Bark Busters Home Dog Training

    Our 8-lb, 3-year-old toy poodle suddenly began showing aggressive behavior. We immediately had him…read moreevaluated by two veterinarians, including appropriate testing, and confirmed the issue was behavioral--not medical. We contacted Bark Busters in Livermore due to strong reviews. That trainer referred us to the trainer covering our area, Sarah Harrington. She assured us she had handled similar cases many times and that their method--different from traditional training--could correct the behavior, although there is no guarantee. Based on that, we agreed to proceed despite the high cost. The fee is $1,875 (lifetime training), paid in full upfront. In hindsight, that should have given us pause. At the initial visit, our dog reacted very negatively--barking continuously and backing away. This was unusual, as he is normally friendly with new people. The trainer also appeared fearful, explaining she had recently been bitten by another dog. A significant portion of the session was spent reading from a binder rather than actively engaging with us or demonstrating techniques until after the total fee was paid in full. This method does not use treats at all. We followed the approach consistently for over three weeks. Instead of improving, our dog became more fearful, his personality seemed to change, and the aggression worsened. When we raised concerns, we were told to continue. The trainer did not proactively check in; we were told follow-up was our responsibility. Given the seriousness of the issue and the cost, we expected more support. We ultimately decided to stop. No partial refund was offered. We were told the contract would become void if we did not re-engage within seven days. We were also cautioned about posting a negative Yelp review. We are sharing our experience so others can make an informed decision. We hope your experience is better than ours.

    Sarah Harrington at Bark Busters Home Dog Training - Central Valley is absolutely amazing. She is…read moreknowledgeable, patient, and truly cares about both dogs and their owners. Her in-home training approach is clear, humane, and incredibly effective--we saw real improvements right away. Sarah empowers you with the tools and confidence to create lasting change, not just quick fixes. The lifetime support Bark Busters offers is a huge bonus and gives total peace of mind. If you're struggling with behavior issues or just want a better relationship with your dog, I highly recommend Sarah and Bark Busters Central Valley!

    We were gifted two puppies and we want the puppies to be well trained…read more The Canine Ranch is the place and amazing! So is Amina and Darick! We brought our dogs here for obedience, behavior correction, boarding & training, and agility--and it has been life-changing! The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about what they do. Not only did our dogs learn so much, but we did too--they took the time to teach us how to properly handle and communicate with our dogs, which made such a huge difference at home. The facility is clean, safe, and full of positive energy. You can tell everyone truly cares about the dogs and their progress. We noticed improvements right away, and our dogs (puppies) are happier, more confident, and better behaved than ever. Also, Amina and Darick, we were sent updates on the puppies progress. If you're looking for a place that truly understands dogs (and their humans!), The Canine Ranch is the best choice you can make. Highly recommend!

    I cannot say enough great things about The Canine Ranch. Amina and Darick have such a lovely family…read moreand were so wonderful with our pup Ingrid. We brought Ingrid all the way from the Bay Area for a board and train and would do it again in a heartbeat. At the time I had a new baby and had no clue how to manage the new resource guarding behavior, extra barking, and unsafe leash pulling which was a nightmare while recovering. After 4 weeks we were totally equipped to support Ingrid and she's been well-behaved ever since!

You couldn't not find a better person than Carri to tend to your pets. She has it all; Professional training, Show Dog competition, grooming, boarding, and a unmatched TLC for animals. Need good care for your special family members? They will charge you more if you drop off the two legged ones Naw, just a jest. The charge is the same. Ok, that was a jest as well There are some very good kennels in our area, but none better. Aloha is the place for go when you need quality pet care and boarding.

When the previous owners retired after over twenty years and closed the business it created a serious issue for us of where to board our dogs when we needed to get out of town and could not bring them along. But this story has a very happy ending... new owners for this business were found and reopened the business recently. The owner we met is named Kari and from our initial meeting through picking Koko and Blue up after four days of traveling away from home we were very pleased with their care and devotion to all things dog. Stop in and check it out. I am sure you will be as pleased as we were. 4+ stars here.
