A Training Program That Truly Follows the Dog - Exceptional Transferable Guarantee!…read moreMy husband Jim and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bark Busters! We fostered Willow, a Labradoodle, intending to find him a forever home, but we completely "failed" at fostering and fell in love with him. Willow's previous owner had invested in Bark Busters Gold Service training before we adopted him. As a disabled Veteran, Jim has found Willow to be an incredible mental health support, and we wanted to ensure we continued his training properly. A Guarantee That Truly Puts Dogs First: What truly sets Bark Busters apart is their remarkable Life of Dog Support Guarantee, which is transferable when a dog is re-homed! This transferable guarantee demonstrates Bark Busters' genuine commitment to the dogs they train, not just their clients. They understand dogs may change homes and built a system ensuring those dogs receive lifelong support. This is virtually unheard of in the dog training industry! Seamless Support: We contacted Bark Busters to learn about Willow's training, and they made the transfer process incredibly smooth. Their focus was clearly on Willow's wellbeing and ensuring continuity in his care. They taught us the Bark Busters method - natural dog communication using body language and voice control that Willow already understood. No treats, no harsh corrections, no complicated equipment. The Results: Thanks to their transferable guarantee and guidance, we've maintained Willow's excellent behavior and strengthened our bond tremendously. The relationship between Jim and Willow has flourished, making an incredible difference in Jim's daily life and wellbeing. Lifetime Peace of Mind: We can contact our certified trainer anytime new issues arise - for Willow's entire life. As he grows and faces new challenges, we have peace of mind knowing professional help is available. Even if we relocate, the guarantee moves with us! Our Recommendation: If you're struggling with dog behavior issues, we wholeheartedly recommend Bark Busters. They work with any breed, age, and issue. Their trainers are knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in helping families. Most impressive: their Life of Dog Support Guarantee is transferable when a dog finds a new home. That forward-thinking policy shows incredible integrity and true commitment to every dog they train. It's a game-changer for rescue or adopted dogs. Willow is a well-behaved, happy companion, and thanks to Bark Busters' transferable lifetime guarantee, we have confidence and support to continue his success. We're so grateful for their innovative approach ensuring every dog receives lifelong support, regardless of circumstances! - Jim & Tammy Proud parents of Willow the Labradoodle

NOT A PLACE FOR LARGE BREEDS…read more I took my two dogs here today and I am honestly appalled by how they run this. I took my boys here because their usual daycare is closed on sundays. I have a husky and a golden Retriver both around 1 years old. They are extremely active. On NO daycare days they require AT LEAST 3 to 4 hour of outside playtime at dog park or hike. Not including all the training, interactive puzzles we do on a daily basis to keep them stimulated. A half day here is 5 hours or less. They do an hour in yard then hour of independent play in separate room... that is the default. So I'm paying for 5 hours of play for maybe 3 hours. But I checked on camera every 30 minutes for the 4 hours they were there and never saw them... They explained the one hour on and one hour off is to make sure other dogs don't get overstimulated. Which I completely understand and respect. But I feel that it should be assessed which dogs need time away not forcing two very hyperactive dogs to stop playing because of that policy. I did mention this to staff they said they said they will put a note in their file to keep them in yard. Which I appreciate. But I honestly don't think I would go back. I think this is a place more for senior or small dogs to socialize. Not large breeds at all. The staff was friendly I just wish that wasn't the default policy. I work night shift and my boys NEED to be tired by the end of the day and I feel this is just not the place to accommodate that.

We completed six sessions with Bobby to help address our dog's aggression and reactivity, which…read morehave been present since he was just a few months old. During the training, we focused heavily on "place" and learning how to use the e-collar. While our dog did pick up the basics, he unfortunately continues to struggle with reactivity and aggression even after the sessions ended. As first-time dog owners, we were hoping for more hands-on guidance. Much of each session involved conversation and verbal instruction, but we didn't feel we were shown the techniques in enough detail or given sufficient practice with our dog to feel confident applying them on our own--especially given his specific behavioral challenges. Bobby is very personable and clearly knowledgeable, but we were hoping for more direct interaction with our dog during the sessions. After training ended, we reached out about the ongoing issues, and while Bobby was able to fit us in for an additional session, it mainly revisited the same methods that hadn't necessarily been effective for us. I believe Bobby would be a great fit for dogs that are already fairly obedient and just need structure or refinement. However, for dogs with more serious behavioral concerns like aggression or resource guarding, this approach may not be the best match. Ultimately, we decided to pursue additional training elsewhere to better meet our dog's needs.

I had an appointment with Bobby when my dog Chloe was just a puppy. He provided training options…read moreand prices. I thought it was a bit expensive plus the schedule didn't fit mine so I was hesistant that my money would just be wasted. I looked at other places, but I wasn't able to find what I was looking for so I tried to do my best doing the training at home. While I was successful at potty training, I failed at many things. I tried to take Chloe to the dog parks to socialize, but I was picky. The dogs at the park were unpredictible. I was very protective of Chloe. The parks were dirty. I drove across town to find the right park but didn't find what I was looking for. So I decided to stop going to the parks. 5 years later, I decided to give Bobby a shot and had to figure out how to make it fit my busy schedule. We had 5 private lessons with Bobby first then Chloe graduated into the group class. It's been about 6 months since our first training session, and we have made so much progress with Chloe. In fact, this weekend my friend saw Chloe for the first time since we enrolled with Bobby. My friend's comment was the training is really working. Chloe is so behave. Not only did we find the right trainer, we also found the right place to socialize with other dogs. The place is big so it's like our park now. The place is clean. It doesn't even smell like dogs. It's airconditioned so its good all year round. For the price, it's so worth it! I'm glad I chose this place.

I used to…read morebe the person who would have to avoid dog parks and cross the street on dog walks if we crossed paths with any other human or dog until we started working with Rich. Today, I was able to walk right by a medium sized dog lunging and barking at my Maltese mix puppy while my dog stayed right next me without lunging or barking perfectly after working with Rich for about 3-4 weeks. And, the price is an amazing value for the results. Rich is seriously an amazing dog trainer and is great with people too. I am so impressed, happy, and grateful for Rich and his training!! I will never go back to not training my dogs. And, I will always be a loyal customer to Sin City K-9!

I have had multiple dogs and she's the only one I've ever felt the need to get help training with, so she's a challenge. Her behavior isn't perfect, but she's made a ton of progress and is completely manageable now. She's still getting better but even if this is was all the improvement she made I would honestly be totally content with the results. Additionally, their prices are really reasonable compared to other places. My recommendation to get the best bang for your buck is to do the 3 week training program at their facility while coordinating with an extended vacation you might be planning. Their price is in the same ballpark as an upscale boarding house, except you get the huge benefit of the training and attention for the pooch! The team is also very personable and flexible, being very gracious with their schedule when I needed some follow up training sessions to make sure I was reenforcing the training properly. I also always was left feeling secure that these guys are dog lovers and my precious gal was in caring hands when I was out of town. All in all, I sincerely was very happy with my experience and have already recommended them to several of my friends.

We can't say enough great things about Doug! We brought him in to help with our anxious/aggressive…read morerescue dog, A'ja, and he changed everything. It really is shocking when on the first visit he had A'ja laying down relaxed by looking in her eyes (which was quite the opposite of her behavior). Not only did Doug work with A'ja, but more importantly he taught us how to handle situations better as owners, which gave us the tools we needed to continue reinforcing her progress at home. His patience, professionalism, and genuine care for dogs shine through in every session. We are so grateful for Doug's guidance. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer who truly understands dogs and more importantly their people!

The technique Doug uses is unlike any I'd ever seen or read about, and it has worked wonders for our 4-year old Lab, who had no boundaries and was often unmanageable. Four weeks in, our household is much calmer and our dog's anxiety level has plummeted. We still have more work to do, but we look forward to it because of the results we're seeing. We highly recommend Doug's training, it's working for our dog and (happily) his people.

Beware, Ira will advertise his ability to task train animals for PTSD but that is false. We signed…read morea contract with him and one day post the cancellation timeline he tried to cancel the contract with zero refund -- citing he wanted to focus I his flying instruction. After 3 no notice cancellations (day of, within an hour of our scheduled session) he stated "he didn't know how he was supposed to task train a dog for PTSD anyways" and quit. We only received a partial, prorated refund (at a higher hourly rate) after threatening legal action against him. His only sessions repeatedly focused on having the dog walk with a shopping cart even after being specifically told that was not a priority for us. I regret working with Ira and losing thousands of dollars. Spend your money elsewhere.

They reached out to me within a couple of hrs after drop off and explained what was happening. They were willing to still work w/him and keep him overnight but I chose to have my sister pick him up instead. They were really caring and their number one priority was Yogy's well being. The fact that I can watch him through the cameras is a huge plus but I wouldn't have known how bad his stress level was if it wasn't for the team's attentiveness. I really appreciate the team for attempting to work with my baby. I would 100% recommend Barx Parx!

I had really high expectations for this place because a friend had recommended them and apparently…read morethey were voted one of the top daycares. But after the third visit, my dog came home injured and passed out for the entire night, which I don't think is very healthy. I got mixed responses on why he might have come home with a limp that lasted about 4 days in the end. It made me think that they weren't watching the dogs properly and there's very little down time for these dogs. Since I can't trust them to watch my dog and make sure that he doesn't get hurt, we've moved on to another place. By the way I've been to several other daycares in town and this never happened so having it happen on only day three of coming here is pretty concerning. Plus it should probably be a red flag that any place charges extra for you to watch what's happening on a webcam so you know what's happening at this place. That would have been very helpful for me to understand what happened to have to keep my dog at home for 5 days to recover.

If you're looking for a knowledgeable and professional dog trainer, Nick brings both expertise and clarity to the process. His approach gave us the confidence to move forward with one of his puppy training packages. The group sessions have been incredibly valuable--providing structure, socialization, and meaningful growth for Koa. We're especially grateful for the one-on-one guidance Nick has given us, helping us confidently reinforce commands and build strong obedience skills at home and on walks. We've seen tremendous improvement, particularly in managing Koa's over-the-top excitement when greeting people and other dogs. Content K9s also offers boarding and training to their clients, so having that option during our recent 2 1/2-week international trip gave us complete peace of mind. Koa was clearly well cared for, and we returned to a happy, well-adjusted pup. Nick and the Content K9s team deliver professional, effective, and thoughtful dog training. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for puppy training, obedience training, or behavioral support.

She worked with my…read moreGerman Shepherd, Blueberry, about three years ago through day-long training sessions, and the transformation was incredible. More recently, I brought my German Shepherd/Border Collie/Pyrenees mix puppy to her for a boarding and training program to address resource guarding and aggression issues, as well as on and off leash skills. Once again, Aly exceeded all expectations. Her knowledge, patience, and consistency truly set her apart as a trainer. She not only corrected the problem behaviors but also gave me the tools and confidence to continue reinforcing the training at home. Both of my dogs are happier, more balanced, and a joy to be around because of her work. If you're looking for someone who genuinely understands dogs and is committed to their success, Aly at Grace Unleashed is the trainer you want. I'm so grateful for what she's done for both of my dogs and highly recommend her to anyone who needs effective and compassionate dog training.

She was aggressive, and for a long time, I felt overwhelmed and unsure of how to help her. But rather than giving up, I leaned in—I read, I researched, I listened, I learned. Grace became my first teacher in the world of dog behavior, and even though our journey wasn’t easy, it was the one that sparked my passion for understanding dogs. Grace is the reason I fell in love with dog training, and she continues to inspire the work I do every day. That’s why I named my company after her—as a reminder of where it all began, and as a tribute to the dog who changed everything for me. Since then, I’ve dedicated my life to learning about dogs—not just how they behave, but why they behave the way they do. I’m endlessly fascinated by both their genetics and the impact of their environment and learned experiences. Over the years, I’ve worked in animal shelters and professional training facilities, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Every dog has their own story, and I’ve been privileged to be part of so many of them. My mission is to help people and their dogs better understand each other—building relationships based on trust, communication, and compassion. Thank you for being here, and for letting me be a part of your dog’s journey.
