I had been taking my Shiba Inu here for the past few months as this is a convenient location and my…read morehusband and I occasionally would need her to be watched for a workday here and there. The good - the female facilitator and the other gentleman were very sweet. They gave a great tour, and were always happy to take calls or answer questions. I think this place is great for folks who work on USA Parkway, or folks who are content with quick exchanges with no feedback. The bad - Unfortunately most of my drop offs consisted of dealing with Thomas, the owner. He made it clear pretty early on that he thought me and my dog had "anxiety issues". When I picked my dog up each day I liked to ask how her day was, as I'm genuinely interested (I love my dog lol) and it's nice to make small talk. Thomas took this interaction as me thinking my dog had a problem, and would make comments about my dog having some type of issue. He constantly rubbed me the wrong way, saying it was incorrect for me to say goodbye to my dog as it would increase her anxiety, and mentioning that I shouldn't call in to check on her. The final straw was today, Thomas had made a comment to my husband yesterday that my dog was "nippy" with him, and I wanted to talk to Thomas about it directly as I was genuinely concerned about my dog showing potential signs of aggression. Upon me asking him about it, he immediately let me know I should probably find another daycare, as I'm the owner he deals with that has the most issues or concerns. I tried to amicably let him know I'm only trying to get more information on the situation, but he kept insisting I go somewhere else since I'm not happy. This was a totally unprofessional way to speak to me, and as a paying customer I think it's well within my right to ask second level questions about my dog's behavior. I will be taking his advice, and going to a different daycare that doesn't view me as a problem customer for checking in on my dog or asking about her at pickup. 2 stars because they helped us out during days we needed dog care, and I'm appreciative for that!

We boarded our 2 dogs for 5 nights. When we picked up our dogs, Mia our 3 yr old was reverse…read moresneezing really bad. We were told she does that when excited. She has never done that!! They then rushed us out as fast as they could. When we got home we knew something was wrong with Mia. She had zero energy and that reverse sneeze was horrible. The next day we called our vet and made an appointment for Mia. The vet on the phone said it's most likely Kennel Cough and we had to wait in our car until they cleared the area for Mia to come in. Kennel Cough is highly contagious. Dogs can get it even though they are vaccinated, which Mia is. After examining Mia the vet confirmed she had Kennel Cough and prescribed an antibiotic for her. She didn't start to get back to normal for six days. Finally she's back to being our Mia. Our other dog, Emma, was ok when we picked her up but started showing signs of Kennel Cough the day after pick up. We called the vet and got meds for Emma. Emma's illness was not as bad as Mia's so she recovered much quicker. The owners have a new puppy in the office area and everyone going in and out are exposed to whatever illness the puppy has. The owners even mentioned the humidifier in the office was for the puppy due to breathing issues. I'm guessing the puppy spread Kennel Cough throughout the whole facility. We tried contacting the owners but it kept going to voicemail. We left a message and have never heard from them. That's no way to run a business. I will never bring our dogs there again and will never recommend them to anyone. I'm actually surprised they have been in business for as long as they have been. If you cherish your pups find another place that actually cares.

We saw instant results in both our dogs and loved the way he connected with our dogs. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and caring dog trainer, give Randy a call. He is the best trainer we've ever had.

We started working with Bark Busters in November 2020. As I write this, it is October 2021. Our…read morehusky, Zoey, has come a LONG way and I am so grateful for Randy and Bark Busters for the training and tools that we continue to use every day. In my prior review I noted that I hoped to update my review with greater success. Well, we've done it! Our dog who had serious separation anxiety has been weaned off her anxiety and sedation medications and can stay home alone for 8-10 hours with absolutely no problems. The text to our family read: "She's fixed!! We've done it!". Bark Busters taught us how to keep our dog engaged through daily tasks and activities and they taught us how to speak Zoey's language. She is so much happier and less anxious. We are still seeing improvements in how she handles other dogs and we are working on her car anxiety but being able to leave Zoey home alone has been a huge lifestyle improvement for us. If you're thinking about hiring Bark Busters but can't decide - just do it. It takes time and dedication but their process works and you will have a happier dog in several months.

Really great trainers. We had them train our dog Bo, who was around 4 years old at this point and…read morehad aged into territorial and possessive behavior. As a large pit mix I'd rescued, these issues were super demoralizing and we were scared Bo would someday hurt someone, despite our constant vigilance. Plus his world had gotten super small because I couldn't trust taking him to the places we used to hang in public. Anyway, after the meet and greet we went with a moderate board and train program. And then it didn't start as smoothly as we all hoped. Not because of their team, Bo was just more aggressive and reactive than he'd displayed during the meet and greet. Was it disappointing - absolutely, but most important was Stand Proud were having the difficult conversation with us about what Bo needed. We all came up with a plan that set Bo up for success, and they made sure it was something we were comfortable with. Since then, it's been a journey, but the results are remarkable and they've been so invested in his success. He's got a strong grasp on place and sit until released, and even off-leash skills and recall. He's also much more comfortable regulating himself and waiting for guidance when he's unsure. We're so much more confident and proud of the goofball. Thanks Stand proud team!
