Bark Busters Dog Training - Greater Los Angeles Los Angeles, California

I worked with Kevin to train my rat terrier puppy Yoko! He's been following her since the first week she came into my home at 9 weeks and has been so kind and generous with his time. Rat terriers are super smart and with that also know how to do what they want (and not listen), and thanks to Kevin's guidance I now have a pup who listens, walks on a leash without pulling (which definitely required his advice and help) and respect my authority. Dare I say he made Yoko the most perfect dog on the planet, she really is. The system of paying all at once but having the guarantee they will help you for life is honestly amazing. I've definitely had some follow up challenges with Yoko and being able to work with the same trainer, who has basically followed her since day 1 has made those challenges so much easier to navigate. Kevin will also always text back if I have any issues and show up pretty much whenever he can to come see her. I highly recommend...

Christen has been helping me and my anxious rescue pup transition after a recent move. She has given me tips and tricks to make him feel more safe and calm in our new home and has supported me with refresher chats when I need them. I had a great experience with BarkBusters in our last community and their professionalism continues here with the Greater LA team. Thanks BarkBusters!

We have a cute Jack Russell Terrier and she is 7 years old. Tarcın was always a barking dog. She improved a lot in first lesson. Now, she is very respectful and obedient. We wouldn't think a seven years old dog's behavior would change. Kevin showed us our mistakes. Because most of our behavior appeared to be wrong. Thank you Kevin.

I worked with Christine & Michael last week to get help with correcting my 11-year-old Springer/Aussie/Border Collie mix. Her barking has always been an issue but during the pandemic since I’m always home, it has gotten out of control. She’s also aggressive, hyper & extremely anxious. I was very worried it was a lost cause given her age but Bark Busters taught me that you really can teach an old dog new tricks! I was absolutely blown away that in just 1 session, they were able to coach me on how to properly train Lola to 90% improvement! I’m so thankful for their methods & to helping both Lola & I have a better life! Thank you for everything!!

Kevin and Christen have been wonderful with our puppy Indy. They are both very professional and gave us a lot of actionable hw to work on with our dog. Their methodology is not about just training the dogs but teaching us how dogs think and …

I found out about Bark Busters because of my neighbors. Their pit bull changed what seemed like overnight from being anxious and crazy to obedient and calm. We booked Kevin and Christen to train our German Shepherd puppy. This truly may be the best dog training in the world! They really understand how dogs minds work and teach you how to communicate so they understand. Bella was starting to nip our hands and play rough, but they taught us that grabbing her too much during play can cause this behavior. We learned to set boundaries around the door and walk on a leash calmly with no pulling. I would recommend Bark Busters to anyone who really wants to understand the nature of dogs and have obedience....without bribing them with treats!

They’re amazing. Kevin is my dog trainer and he has helped to turn my dogs behavior completely around. She had issues with aggression and biting and many other things and none of those things are an issue now. I can take her places and know she’s not going to lash out at someone. She plays with other dogs with no aggression and she has fun. I would highly recommend this company. They know why they’re doing.

I reached out to a family member upon getting my puppy Mochi because she was more than a handful. She told me she had heard Bark Busters was the best in the business. Then I met Christen and Kevin and I can wholeheartedly say I don’t know …

Started meeting with Kevin a couple of months ago specifically for leash aggression and some general obedience for two five year old boys and the improvement has been dramatic to say the least. Whereas my boys were almost uncontrollable around other dogs before, simple training techniques focused mainly on body language and tone of voice have made noticeable differences within a few weeks. By keeping them focused on the walks and on my leading them, both boys have progressed more than I expected. Could not recommend Kevin and Bark Busters enough!

We’ve been with Kevin and Bark Busters for over 3 months now for two 5-year-old boys who struggle with dog aggression and some general obedience. After getting the basics down and establishing command, we’ve seen dramatic improvement in …

I have two dogs, Lucy & Leo. Lucy is a Pit bull that we have had for 5 years and Leo is our newly adopted Pug. We have had him for about 4 months now. Over the years, I have taken many dogs to private training. I have never seen any …

Christen and Kevin are warm people and great dog trainers. I highly recommend their service! I have a mixed-breed, medium-sized dog named Indiana Jones. He's almost …

We have had a pit bull  for years and recently got a pug.  Very cute, but his behavior seemed to be badly influencing our pit!  Both of the dogs had problems with barking constantly, jumping on visitors, pulling on the leash when walking, shadowing me, getting in the way in the kitchen and going nuts during feeding.  The pug sometimes tears up our things when I'm gone or poops and pees in the house. When Christen came to train, the change happened very fast.  After learning how it works, I think this may be the best dog training method in the world.  They don't use treats or aggression of any kind.  She taught us about the importance of the pack and how to communicate as an effective pack leader.  Our pit changed behavior within minutes!  Even immediately started walking on the leash by my side after years of pulling!  Our pug transformed pretty quickly too, but Christen pointed out it's harder to gain their respect and we would need more training sessions for him.  Kevin and Christen came back to work mostly with him and he's still improving.  It almost feels like a super power now knowing how to control our dogs.  Friends and family are pretty amazed to watch the difference!  I highly recommend either of these two if you're in need of dog training

Our 15 year old Eskimo mini had learned a lifetime of bad habits - from me!! Eternal thanks to Bark Busters - Greater LA for helping us remind Kozmo that he's loved even when he doesn't sleep on my pillow, next to my face!

10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!!! I just had a 3 hour session with Christen and Kevin with my dog, Hudson. He's an approximately one year old Boxer/Staffie mix who was rescued from the streets of Venice Beach. I have had him for almost 4 months now, and although he has come a long way since I got him, he still needs a lot of help with his fears. During this session, I learned how to communicate WAY better to him in a way he could actually understand. He immediately started responding to their techniques and lessons. I could not be more proud of Hudson and can not thank Christen and Kevin enough, even after only one session. I can't wait to do our homework and watch him grow even more.

Kevin was a huge help to both my dogs Zeus and Hades! He is very in-depth and every training session is very educational. Highly recommend bark busters!

I wish I had called Bark Busters first! I had another trainer who told me to rehome the dog. In the first lesson with Christen & Kevin, they had Rusty and I on the same page and Rusty actually listened to what I said! ! They trained me as much as my dog, and now I al the "Big Dog". So grateful.

We’ve been with Bark Busters for a few months now, and we’ve already seen dramatic improvement with our two boys. Our behavioral therapist, Kevin, has been great from the beginning. He explains things easily and without ever talking down to …

We love what Kevin and Christen are doing to help dog owners like us, can't thank them enough!!!

If you’re looking for a dog trainer in the Los Angeles area, Christen is a miracle worker! I have a 2 year old lab that still has many puppy tendencies, barking, jumping, tearing up my stuff when I’m gone... We worked on her separation …

Kevin and Christen have helped me and my dog Ginger come to a more peaceful household. First they came to the house so we could work with Ginger in her space. Ginger wasn’t super into strangers being in her house at first, but they were calm and let her adapt. The first part of the training session was more to do with the hows and whys their method works. Kevin and Christen are very informative, and basically they teach you a language (both body and verbal) that your dog can understand. I was allowed to ask all the questions I needed to feel comfortable with actual training. At first in the training you might feel a little goofy talking dog. Fortunately you are in your own house and everyone is doing it. We repeated the training exercise until Ginger and I were on the same page. Next we moved on to tackle the outside world. Kevin and Christen provided a special harness and other training tools that are humane, safe, and non-painful. Overall we worked for about 3 hours and the training tools stayed with me and Ginger. What I like is that I free like I have a way to talk to my dog that doesn’t feel like I’m yelling all the time. This is not a treat based program, but rather a trust exercise to get you and your dog into a team. Thanks Christin and Keven!
