The entire team was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. At the start of boarding, Darcey was able to pinpoint the key areas that needed work. Throughout the training process, we received regular updates, including informative notes, photos, and videos that showed just how much progress our pup was making. It gave us so much confidence and peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. The information shared also helped to prepare us on his return, specifically the steps we needed to take to enforce his training. On pickup day, Elias took the time to walk us through all the commands and detail best practices moving forward. His attention to detail, depth of knowledge, and ability to clearly communicate everything really stood out not just to us, but even to outsiders observing the session. Everyone was genuinely impressed! The transformation in our pup has been amazing--he's noticeably calmer, more attentive, and much better at listening. This is a level of progress we couldn't have achieved on our own. We're so grateful to Darcey and her team and we would not hesitate to work with them again. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional dog training!

We had an incredible experience working with Manny at K9 Restored. Our puppy Frankie is a rescue…read moreand came to us very timid, unsure of herself, and struggling with basic obedience. From the very first session, Manny knew exactly how to meet her where she was. Over the course of her training, we watched Frankie gain confidence, learn structure, and completely transform her behavior. She's now calmer, more obedient, and carries herself with a level of assurance we never thought we'd see this early on. Manny didn't just train our dog -- he taught us how to support her long-term, and his approach was patient, thoughtful, and incredibly effective. We couldn't be happier with the results. If you're looking for a trainer who truly understands dogs and cares deeply about their progress, Manny is the one. Highly recommend!

As part of the process, Manny helped me identify the traits needed by Archie's next adopters to ensure a successful adoption! Thank you, Manny!

I…read morestarted training with Vladae when my golden retriever puppy was 3 months and he was a handful. Now, at 5 months, it doesn't even feel like we have a puppy in the house. Our puppy has learned to be very mannered and calm. Vladae not only trained the dog but trained me and my mom as well. This helped me gain a lot of confidence and courage to be assertive and dominant and not let the puppy walk all over me and go crazy. Additionally thank you to Erica and Karen for all the help with scheduling, tips and additional training. Vladae and his team truly treat us like family and we have really enjoyed working with them.

I assure you that I…read morewas a legitimate customer who genuinely shared my honest experience, which I believe is critical for other potential clients. While it's understandable to feel upset when receiving negative feedback, it's important to reflect on the reasons behind my review. I noticed that during our initial interaction, you made a comment about my background that many found to be a stereotypical and racist remark. In fact, I saw that you previously posted video footage of our encounter on your Instagram, but you removed it after receiving backlash for those comments. This indicates that others found your remarks concerning as well. I want to emphasize that my intention was never to harm your business; rather, it was to share my experience. Thankfully, I have since found another trainer who practices positive reinforcement, which aligns much better with my values and my dog's needs.

An absolute game-changer for Sage and our family!…read more We recently sent our purebred English Labrador, Sage, to Rayo's K9 Academy for their six-week board and train program, and we could not be happier with the results. Sending your beloved pet away for six weeks is a massive decision and we missed her terribly while she was gone, but Raymond and Jessica made us feel completely at ease from day one with consistent updates and clear communication. Before the program, we were struggling significantly with recall, leash pulling, constant barking, and getting Sage to settle down when activity wasn't appropriate. When we picked her up, the transformation was incredible. Raymond and Jessica completely fixed the pulling and barking, and Sage's recall is now absolutely phenomenal. She is still the same loving, happy Lab we know, but now she has the focus and impulse control to relax calmly when it's time to settle. What really set Rayo's K9 Academy apart was the "go-home lesson" held in a real-world distracting environment on the last day. They spent extensive time teaching us how to maintain the training at home so we could seamlessly transition back to daily life. If you are on the fence about a long-term board and train, trust me--it is worth every penny. Thank you, Raymond and Jessica, for giving us the foundation for a lifetime of success with Sage!

I would not recommend this company. I hired this company…read morewith one goal in mind and the person that came out (I think he was the owner) had convinced me that he could do what I asked of him for my dog Bogey. At the time I hired this company for training, Bogey was 16 months old. I'm not expecting Bogey to be Lassie or anything close, and I'm not blaming the trainer or any of his employees for Bogey's behavior.  A little bit of background on Bogey. He was traumatized by someone when he was 6 months old while at a doggie day care.  Bogey and my son-in-law, who my dog used to get along great with, changed after the incident at the day care. My daughter and son-in-law were there to watch the presentation for the training company. The trainer saw Bogey's reaction to my son-in-law, obvious signs of fear and apprehension, and convinced us he could change Bogey's behavior. My daughter and I signed up with this company, feeling assured the trainer could change this behavior in Bogey. It was a $2700 investment combined. Due to Bogey's reaction to my son-in-law, my main concern was to get help in changing this behavior and stressed this concern with the trainer. Unfortunately the sessions seem to only focus on sitting, staying and placing. Honestly, I became frustrated with them only "training" me on how to teach Bogey how to sit, stay etc and NEVER addressing the reason I hired them. This is what caused me to quit going to there "group lessons". I felt it was truly a waste of my time and apparently not a concern of their's either, having paid $2700 for a lifetime of training. In addition, no effort has been made on their part to reach out to me to find out why I quit going. Now that I am living with my daughter and her family,  Bogey is traumatized throughout the day. When he sees my son-in-law, who works from home, he will hide behind furniture and won't socialize with other family members. This behavior only happens around my son-in-law. Bogey is so fearful he will urinate in the house and has even done so on my granddaughter.  I can't afford to hire another trainer now and am questioning if this company lacks concern for their clients or possibly it's a lack of knowledge on how to properly train a dog with behavioral issues. This has put me in a difficult situation and I now have to decide whether to let this trauma continue daily, not what I want, or find a new home for Bogey, which I also do not want. That's no life for any family member. So if you're looking for someone to teach you how to say "sit", "stay" or "place", this may be the company I would recommend but I feel that they may be limited in their training skills. If you're looking for a company that will follow up with you, you might want to keep looking for someone that cares about results and accomplishments. There were many other things that showed lack of attention on their part but the one thing I was hoping for never was addressed even when I brought it up. They either lack the skill to train out behavior issues or they simply don't care. If you look at their own post on Facebook, their only focused is on sit, stay and come. No mention of training out negative behaviors. No success stories about other training issues.

Now that I have more time I wanted to finish Bella's training. I reached out to bark busters because Bella had a lot of anxiety and would have non stop barking issues. We have a new baby in the house so all the barking was no fun! I'm telling you, no joke after the first visit with our trainer Justine, I felt as if Bella was a whole new dog! She gives such great advice on how to properly train your dog without food incentives and shock collars! I was so amazed that I started telling a lot of my friends about it! I just finished my second session with Justine today and she was giving me tips and tricks on how to walk Bella without her pulling. By the end of the session I was walking Bella and Bella wasn't walking me! Justine truly cares for me and Bella and is very thoughtful on modifying things that help me the best! It's definitely worth the investment. I couldn't be any more happy and I would definitely recommend Bark Busters, especially with Justine, to everyone and anyone! Enjoy a picture of Bella after our training session today!

If you truly love your dog, then Bark Busters is the best thing you can do for them! We rescued an…read moreAmerican Pit Bull Terrier mix from our local animal shelter during Covid, and immediately fell in love with her. Since then, we have done our best to train her (even hired a dog training company) and while she's been amazing to us, there have been some incidents. We tried to correct her behavior but we had to go beyond just correcting a behavior, we had to know the why. We needed a dog behaviorist. Enter Bark Busters and Justine! From the very first phone conversation with Justine, she told us about a dog's personality (the who) vs. a dog's behavior (the why). Was our dog just naturally an aggressive dog or was our dog showing aggression due to past trauma. After the initial phone call then came the in person assessment in our home, Justine knew our dog's personality was sweet and loving to us; however, due to her being a rescue, her past experiences led to trauma that led to aggressive behaviors towards others in certain situations. Moreover, during that first assessment, she educated us things we had no idea about or thought about with dogs as pets plus what we need to be and do as owners. Justine was and is exactly what we were looking for in understanding our dog and from there building the right relationship with our dog that will keep her and others safe. The business model and curriculum that Bark Busters and Justine have put in place is one of a kind and works from day 1. We have always wanted what is best for our dog and to give her the best life possible, especially because she is a rescue and her breed. Bark Busters and Justine continues to give us the tools in place to build the confidence and trust we have as owners in our dog and our dog has in us as owners. We are forever grateful to Justine and will recommend her and Bark Busters to anyone!
