We've had a great experience working with Johnny Jumper and have seen huge improvements in our…read moredog's behavior after only four sessions. Our dog is a shelter dog, and we came to Johnny with a few challenges, including lunging and barking at other dogs and people on walks, crate training, and going to the bathroom in the house. The progress has been pretty incredible. After just one session, the lunging and barking on walks improved dramatically. Crate training has been a huge improvement as well, and we've also been able to resolve the issues with peeing and pooping in the house. Johnny is kind and patient, but also confident and extremely knowledgeable. He's great at explaining what he's doing and giving us the tools to continue the training on our own. We're only four sessions in and already feel like we have a completely different dog. Highly recommend Johnny!

We had an excellent experience with Johnnie Jumper from Bark Busters! Charlie had a habit of…read moreexcessive barking, and we were struggling to get his attention when he became distracted. I was ready to move out with Charlie from the house we had just bought with my mother-in-law because his barking was driving her crazy. Johnnie was patient, knowledgeable, and explained everything in a way that was easy for us to understand and practice at home. The results were noticeable right away. Charlie learned to stop excessive barking, respond consistently to the "leave it" command, and the "place" command has been a game changer for helping him stay calm and settled when guests come over or when things get busy around the house especially at the door and in front of the house. Charlie is also now comfortable riding in a car with us going places, when before he was a shaky mess. Johnny also supported us through Charlie's picky eating. I have been able to contact Johnny with numerous questions and he always responds with helpful advise. Best of all we are covered for anything that comes up with Charlie for the rest of his life. What we appreciated most was that Johnnie didn't just train Charlie--he taught us how to communicate with and lead our dog confidently. His guidance gave us the tools to continue reinforcing the training, and we've seen a huge improvement in Charlie's behavior. We highly recommend Johnnie Jumper and Bark Busters to anyone looking for professional, effective dog training. Thank you for helping Charlie become a happier, calmer, and better-behaved member of our family! Happy to report I don't have to move out of my home because of my dogs excessive barking! Thank you so much Bark Busters! The Smith Family

Brad was amazing. We have a 2 year old Corgi who is a very sweet boy but he would be very reactive…read moretowards other dogs and would always eat things off the ground. Walks became so stressful, and we tried every thing we could think of to fix it. Brad was able to teach us his methods within 30 minutes, and within the first week his behavior was a complete 180! Cant recommend him enough.

I genuinely can't recommend Brad highly enough. By the time…read moreI reached out, I had already spent months trying to fix Sunny's leash pulling and reactivity. I'd worked with two trainers, including a 3 week board-and-train program ($5,000 investment), followed every instruction, and practiced daily, yet I didn't see changes. I was managing the behavior without ever understanding what was causing it. That changed within the first two hours with Brad. He didn't start with commands or tools. Instead, he focused on the psychology behind Sunny's reactions: what was driving them, what was reinforcing them, and what I was unknowingly communicating. No one had ever explained it that clearly. That was the turning point. For the first time, I wasn't guessing or correcting blindly. I could see what Sunny was experiencing in real time and understand how my timing, energy, and responses were shaping his behavior. That clarity changed everything. Walks feel completely different now. Sunny is no longer pulls since my training with Brad, the reactive outbursts are gone, and the experience itself is calm. I'm no longer bracing for problems because I know how to prevent them. I am SO appreciative!

I was originally recommended to Vladae and his team from one of my friends who had a Labrador. 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 wanted to address your recent claims regarding my review of your services. 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.

We brought our Samoyed, Ghost, to John for board-and-train when he was only about 4 months old…read more Now, about 7 months later, we finally wanted to leave a review because we've had plenty of time to see how the training actually holds up. John is a really great trainer, and we're very happy with the results. Before training, Ghost had a lot of typical puppy behaviors -- digging, biting and chewing slippers, getting into things he shouldn't, etc. After he came home, those behaviors were basically gone. What impressed us the most is that the training really lasted. Ghost has now gone through his teenage phase, which we were honestly expecting to be a little chaotic , but he's still such a good dog. He understands boundaries, listens well, and is very easy to live with. Looking back, sending him to John at 4 months old gave him a really strong foundation, and we can still see the difference 7 months later. We're really happy we did it and would definitely recommend John!

I chose Mike/K9 Mentor because he had a Great Pyrenees (named Dakota) like my dog Maximus. So I…read morefigured he would do best or better than others knowing the breed. In short: Best investment ever for my dog. Mike arrived at 8am. We had a 50-55 minute learning session on DOGs from their culture, through the do's & don'ts, then we brought Maximus in and slowly applied the training methods. What Mike taught us, and what he did with Maximus, is absolutely fabulous. Maximus is more calm & less "high-strung", listens better, responds to me better, seems happier than before K9 Mentor training. PLUS, his aggressiveness has seemed to diminish greatly since the training session. Mike's training is simple, straight-forward, easy to learn (& eventually master) methods. I am completely satisfied with Mike/K9 Mentor Dog Training and would highly recommend him, especially with large dogs. Happy Dog Training & Fight On!

I came across Falco while searching for a daycare for my then 5-month-old Doberman puppy, Bunny --…read moreand I'm so glad I did! From the very beginning, we felt welcomed, and I immediately felt I could trust Zack and the entire team. Bunny started attending daycare at least once a week and always looked forward to it. As she grew, we decided to schedule an evaluation for a board and train program. During the evaluation, Zack was incredibly transparent and helped us choose the program that would be the best fit for Bunny's needs. Throughout the board and train, we had the pleasure of working with Lead Trainer Gabi, who was amazing. She helped Bunny build confidence, improve her leash manners, respect thresholds, and so much more. More importantly, Gabi took the time to teach us how to continue working with Bunny to reinforce what she learned. We also completed a 5-week training course with Gabi, which was both fun and empowering. It helped US build confidence as dog owners and made such a positive difference in our relationship with Bunny. Since training with Falco, Bunny's separation anxiety has significantly improved, and she has become such a well-behaved pup. We're now able to take her everywhere with confidence, knowing she has a solid foundation thanks to the team at Falco. Highly recommend Falco Training -- they truly care about dogs and their humans!

I've been very happy with Camp Bow Wow so far!! I have left my pup a number of times so far,…read moreincluding about four full day boarding sessions, an over nighter and a two night stay so far. It is easy to book your stays through the app and everything has ran smoothly for my experience so far. They require all records prior to your first stay to make sure the dogs are up to date on vaccinations, etc. There are also a number of enrichments offered at an extra cost to entertain your pup, and on certain days of the week they have specialty enrichments. On my pup's last stay we ordered a pup cup and I did not expect to receive pictures in email of her enjoying it. That made my day. There are always cameras available to check in on your doggy to make you feel at ease. My pup is always excited and always playing during her stays and she is excited to go in when we arrive, she isn't even worried about me heading off and she's still happy when we come back for her. Then there is the additional perk of your pup being wiped out for a nice portion of the day when you return. Thank you Camp Bow Wow and especially for having staff around at all times, and for making it possible to take trips with ease knowing our pup will be taken care of.
