Diane and John saved our sanity! After the first training session our dog Penny was a different dog. Penny use to bark non-stop at the tv, at things outside, and outside. After our first session Penny was receptive to our interventions she listened and stopped her barking. Our other dog Beasley is more at ease and seems less stressed as well! I highly recommend Diane and John from bark busters. They are so wonderful and really work with you to help your fur babies! Thank you!

I reached out to John and Diane back in September and I've only had 2 sessions with them and they have taught me so much already. I even told Diane that I didn't realize I could love my dog more but I do, especially now that we have a better understanding of each other. My dog is a German Shepherd mix who was through training when he was a puppy. I diligently followed the instructions I was given, but over time he developed some habits that I didn't get in front of like rushing the door anytime someone came. I would correct him, but he didn't care and I just starting thinking this is normal behavior for his breed. But now that he is 4 and much stronger, I started getting worried that something bad could happen so I called Diane and John to help me. That have been tremendous in helping me understand how to adapt my behavior to improve his. With only 2 sessions (and a lot of practice) I don't have a dog that controls my front door. I can highly recommend them and they will help you, but you need to put in the work. Now I can't wait to see what our next session brings.

Only one lesson in and we’re already confident this is the BEST money we’ve ever spent. John and Diane are delightful, kind and incredibly talented at what they do. Our two goldendoodles are noticeable better - I can’t wait to see what else John and Diane can teach us!

Night and Day. I only wish I had done this sooner! I had no idea how badly behaved my dogs really were until we moved here and had to live in an apartment for awhile. My dogs lurched and barked incessantly at EVERYONE all the time. Even the people outside when we were trying to have a quiet evening. In only 2 hours Diane and John trained US to work with our dogs differently. No treats or gimmicks. In just that time we saw a SIGNIFICANT change. Its been 2 days and we are running into neighbors when we walk them and no more barking or lurching even when they see other dogs! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend. Do not wait another minute with your dog ruling the roost. This is life changing, and good for the dogs too.
