"Boot camp" options seemed extreme, so I called Bark Busters (BB), seeking in-home private lessons. Justin responded the same day I left a message, and we talked about my concerns with our new rescue. I decided to try the BB program, which ended up being the BEST DECISION for my pup and for me! Justin set up our first session with trainer/coach James. James spent much of the 1st session going through the goals, objectives and concepts of training, including a timeline based on reasonable expectations of my dog. James spent a lot of time explaining how to "read" my dog's behavior, and how to properly respond. He explained the concepts behind each step, which helped me to understand not just what to do, but why (thus enabling me to understand how to deploy the training to different situations). James also set up scenarios to practice, going through each step so I could gain confidence in what my role is while helping my dog settle. It really is about training the owner how to work with the dog. James provided summaries of each session, plus videos demonstrating how I can use different responses/techniques to reshape how my dog reacts to stressful situations. I saw significant progress very early in the training, and was surprised at how quickly we were able to help my dog understand his role (and to feel safe) in our home. The best part is that if I need more help, I just have to reach out to James/BB and schedule more sessions - this is included in the initial program. Given that it takes a rescue dog a while to COMPLETELY settle in, new issues could arise as time passes, and if so, all I have to do is call to set it up. In summary, Bark Busters is a GREAT dog training program, and James is a FANTASTIC BB trainer/coach! Definitely recommend BB to owners that want help with their dogs!

My friends nicknamed her Cujo, it was that bad. I couldn't invite people to the house. Summer of 2025 I have a dog that loves meeting new dogs and people and runs around OB dog beach off leash. She's not reactive, she has great recall, she makes friends, I can have people over, she listens to commands, and she's so easy to walk. I took her into the vet this week and they removed the 'bite risk' warning from her file, they said it's like a completely different dog. She's not anxious or fearful. She's confident, playful, and so happy. All of this was because of training with John. He is patient, gentle, and kind. I can't put into words how grateful I am that we found him. I recommend him to every dog owner I know.

Our primary concerns were our dog's reactivity towards other dogs and people, separation anxiety, and helping him walk comfortably on a leash. We were connected to Jared at America's Finest Dog Training through a friend at the gym. When we adopted our dog, he was already 3 months old and had received some training. We initially thought that would be enough, but since his trainers were located in the inland empire, it made it difficult to communicate and follow up. We scheduled a session with Jared and were immediately drawn to his demeanor. Our main concerns revolved around our dog's reactivity towards other dogs and people, separation anxiety, and his comfort while walking on a leash. Jared was a dog handler in the air force and his style is very suited to working dogs that require a lot more structure than a typical breeds and therefore i was excited for his to work with my Doberman. Ive had other breeds of working dogs but the Dobbie has a very high driver to work therefore sought out his help, I have been very happy with the resuls that I received from the training,. In one session in about 10 minutes we taught my dog to heel and not run up and down the stairs. he is patient, personable and very professional. I would highly recommend Jared to others that want to provide some structure and training to their dogs especially if they are working dogs and you also have some time and committment to reinforce the training

Another tip: if you have a hairy dog like ours, I'd suggest brushing them before the wash and after since it helps de-hair them. We've taken our medium size dog to this wash for almost a year and it's been great. There's always a wash available. They provide: shampoo, hair brush, pink scrub brush, aprons and towels. We'll bring in our our shampoo and towels. And we'll buy the pup-friendly cookies to give our dog as motivation to stay happy throughout the bath. Overall, we're happy with this service and my only complaint is that they'd offer later hours on weekdays.

It was so bad that I had to move apartments because of the noise complaints I got. He tore a hole in my wall, destroyed crates, and screamed when he was left alone.

He stays in my bedroom with the door closed SLEEPING!!! I never thought I would be able to leave him that long without getting a sitter and it feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Not only that, but Dolce walks so much better on the leash. We did board and train for one week and are doing continued weekly trainings. I'm so thankful and so excited to see how much more he grows!!!

I recently brought my poodle in for a grooming appointment and was disappointed by my experience…read more While I understand that groomers must make decisions based on a pet's comfort and safety, I felt there was very little effort made to discuss options with me as the owner. I was told that because of some matting around my dog's neck, the solution was to shave her coat. From my perspective, the rest of her coat was in good condition and manageable. Rather than working together to explore alternatives, such as addressing the matted areas while preserving the rest of her groom, I felt the conversation was immediately shut down. What was most disappointing was not the recommendation itself, but the lack of collaboration and customer service. As a pet parent, I came in looking for professional guidance and a solution that considered both my dog's well-being and my concerns. Instead, I left feeling dismissed. Because of this experience, I chose not to move forward with the appointment and will be seeking grooming services elsewhere. I hope management takes this feedback into consideration, as better communication and a more client-focused approach could make a significant difference. Nefetari was my dog name !
