First lessons went well. However we have regressed some. Perhaps we just need to work harder with him.
It's been a full week since Jim came to assess Sky and provide training session. I am amazed at the immediate behavioral changes made during the 3 hour session and how Sky continues to progress each day. I waited to write a review because I wanted to see if the "method" would weaken with Sky and we find ourselves back into the same behavioral issues. I can attest it has not! I am thrilled with what Sky has learned in such a short amount of time, more than I could accomplish with her over her first year of being part of the family. We still have work to do with leash training and pillow training (she thinks she's killing rabbits, LOL), but I have no doubt that with continued consistent practice she will no doubt master these things as well. I have so much confidence with then type of companion she will be with Jim's continued guidance, I can't wait to be one those dog owners who can sit on a patio and enjoy a cocktail with my beloved pet beside me :) Thank you Jim for guidance! Can't wait for more sessions!
Jim was great, after 1 session we're already seeing a positive change!
My first training session went great and I can already tell a difference in my dog and the way she reacts! Just one session has helped me improve getting communication across to my dog.
Very excited to correct Lucy's bad behaviors and start working on making her an outstanding part of my work and home.
Jim is very friendly & patient. clear communication. Easy to follow process.
Jim is a great trainer. Burt was a misbehaving, loveable mess and Jim was able to get us both under control with out treats and only using dog friendly methods. I was doing just about everything wrong -- Jim's methods are very intuitive and Burt responded right away -- I mean right away! I wish I hadn't waited so long. Call Jim if you are having ANY issues with your dog!
Jim was fun & great. He taught me a lot.
I feel that with a consistent schedule Mia will be a completely new Dog! Thank You, Bark Busters!
Blaze made improvements in the very first session.
Looking forward to employing learned techniques to improve behavior. Got great start.
Through, Patent & Dog Friendly
I really appreciated the techniques Jim showed us on how to stop Cooper from jumping on us. We worked on it right then & there and it worked well. He also showed us overall doggy behavior control. His strategies worked! Thank you , Jim! We are happy with our training.
Great start so far! Very simple & effective techniques. We read some books & watched some videos but this was much more effective.
You're amazing! We're excited to help our Dog!
I look forward to trying the training myself. Gus seemed to respond very well to Jim.
Surprisingly easy and effective!
I was amazed at the progress after just one visit. I am looking forward to using the techniques given to help our family and our dog. Can't wait to see how the consistent application of these techniques help us enjoy our dog.
We adopted senior (7+ yr old. ) 54 lb, German Shepherd-mix Emma Rose from a shelter where she'd lived for 6 mo. She's smart and affectionate, but needed to learn the etiquette of being a house dog. Dee Call returned my phone message immediately and Jim Call came within a couple of days to show us techniques to change her behavior. The transformation was almost instantaneous. We work with her daily to reinforce what she's learned. We couldn't be more pleased with Jim & Dee Call and Bark Busters. Thanks to them we now have a lovely new member of our household.
Very good pointers and advice, dog already responding to training, would definitely recommend!
Very thorough & comprehensive, tailored to my specific needs.
Jim is Awesome! We're very pleased with his help!
Jim and Dee are amazing! Great communication and professionalism. When Jim entered our home we knew immediately Callie was going to be a very different puppy after Jim left. We were not disappointed. The techniques he used were very easy for us to follow. Thank you very much for helping us train our forever puppy.
Dee & Jim both have been really helpful. We have two Golden Retrievers that are almost 5 months old. The first visit with Jim went great! We have already seen improvement can not wait to learn more.
Love in home experience. Also like the national network
Great training for me and my dog
It has been a little over a week since Jim came to our house. I’m very happy with his first visit. In very little time he had shown me how to help my dogs behave better when people come over. After my pups & I have worked on the first issue for awhile I will contact Dee & Jim to set up another visit.
Dee responded very quickly to my inquiry. I set up an appointment for the following Saturday. We have 3 dogs, 2 of which are rescues. We had some behavior issues - the dogs barking and jumping on guests at the front door, training them to use the dog door, and our latest rescue getting into a barking frenzy & not listening. Jim showed up on time and explained their program. We liked that it was based on dog behavior and positive reinforcement! Jim & Dee have years of experience with rescue & foster dogs so Jim knew how to help us with our rescues. Jim worked with us correcting what we were doing wrong and the dogs responded quickly!! It's all about the humans learning to teach in a way that dogs understand, doing it consistently, and praising profusely when they do it right. Or as Jim says "having a party!" We have been working with our dogs and seen a tremendous amount of progress in a short time!! We were amazed! However, I was still having an issue with our female rescue trying to be the leader over me while she would listen to my husband. Remembering things Jim had said I knew the problem was with me and that I needed more training. Jim came again and worked with me for over an hour. He had me lower my voice when correcting her and to calmly show her what to do. Jim and I also discovered she doesn't respond to verbal praise - she needs to be held in my lap and have a lot of physical 'praise' along with the verbal. It was Jim listening to me and asking questions that led to that discovery! It has made such a difference in the way she listens to me!! We are so happy to have found Jim & Dee of Bark Busters! The Bark Busters program is extremely effective and Jim is an excellent trainer of both dogs & humans!!
Very knowledgeable & pleasant!
Your information helped give me the guidance I need to be proactive and to prepare our family & animals for a healthy & happy life.
Simple, but very effective techniques. Really liked how Jim educated us on how to "speak" Trixter's language. I feel very confident that I can practice on my own.
Thank you Jim for making it seem easy and like we can learn to do this on our own. Thank you also for being so sweet to Dusty & Deano. We appreciate you help!
Very knowledgeable. Love the information provided. Happy with the training plan.
Very helpful training on techniques we never used before. Immediate results.
Jim was amazing! We feel like we have the tools to be successful! Our dog, Valkyrie, responded nearly immediately. Thank you!
Mr. Jim explained techniques in a way that made it easy and fun to learn for us and our dogs. The reference material he shared is helpful for future research and he answered all our questions. I personally appreciated his patience and level of concern for our dogs well being. We're grateful to have found him.
Great Trainer. Very Helpful. I am excited to see Rocky & his progress with Bark Busters.
I needed new ways to work with a dog who is developing anxiety and Bark Busters had great suggestions that are already making an impact.
The trainer was professional and kind. I learned a lot! I am very pleased with the experience.
Friendly, easy to understand, customized for our dogs. They showed progress already. Was very informative.
Great Session! Can't wait to continue reinforcing and seeing results.
We think what we learned today will definitely help us and we look forward to working with Jim.
Great start. Lots of work to do!
Great company that really cares about each dog & making it specific for what they need.
Really appreciate your help! We now have a plan to begin changing Jack.
Seems very productive for first appointment. Got a lot done.
On our first lesson we could already see that both dogs were responding well to the suggestions. Love that the training is in home and in our puppies environment. Looking forward to future sessions.
Great and thorough training!
Miraculous first session! Marked improvement in his behavior. I would highly recommend Bark Busters for any of your dog's behavioral issues. I look forward to incorporating the lessons I've learned to assist my dog in becoming more balanced and happy.
Impressed with how quickly dogs responded to initial training. I feel great having techniques that I feel confident will work. Jim is very helpful and a pleasure to work with.
Jim took the time to explain everything. Showed us great techniques that will work great with Maggie & even the other dog in our home.
Jim was very knowledgeable. He was easy to understand. He made things "easy". I felt very comfortable with everything.
Jim gave us some awesome ideas to help us train our Cocker Spaniel pups. We are really looking forward to working with him. I can't wait to get started!
Jim (Bark Busters) has been wonderful. We feel we an to an awesome start. We will recommend Bark Busters to anyone that needs training for their dogs.
Jim is professional and very talented when working with us and our dog. He encouraged us to be consistent with our family rules and enjoy our new puppy. Our dog really enjoyed playing with Jim. This was a very helpful and thourgh first lesson. We all had fun!
Jim, our trainer, was very good at explaining & showing us training tips. Bark Busters program is unlike any training program we are aware of. We are excited to go through the program.
Great Trainer!
We had a great time learning from Jim. We look forward to learning more as Miss Ellie Matures.
Our dogs were displaying excessive barking and pushy behaviors. They had not responded to anything we had done but with the first training exercise they were responding to us.
Our puppy responded well to the techniques and we could see a difference in our dog's behavior after the first session.

We had great success with Rainy Boots and Duke today. Made me happy and excited to train my dogs. I feel like I have the right tools to do so.
Jim has given us some good tools to help curb unwanted puppy issues & we are looking forward to getting to the point where we can establish some new good behaviors.
Very helpful session. enough to get us started and not too overwhelming.
We feel very confident that we can be property trained to help our dogs behave!
Mr Call is very experienced and knowledgeable trainer who has already helped me immensely with understanding and training my dog. Thank you so much for all your help. I really appreciated your guidance with the puppy. I already feel much more prepared to teach her.
Very happy with the results of the training.
Excellent Trainer, very patient, worked with the entire family- dealt with our Toddlers being Toddlers. Showed simple, easy to use techniques and gave very clear instructions. Checked for understanding with feedback.
Excellent start to correcting Barney's problems.
Ours dogs responded very well in the first session. Looking forward to working with Jim on future issues.
Appreciate the company working us in quickly so that the behavior could be stopped as soon as possible. Very professional instructor with very clear instructions. This really helped us feel confident about how to move forward to prevent our "Girls" fusses.
Excellent techniques and practice. Dog are already responding and further practice should train them quickly.
We were pleased to see Geoffrey respond to some of the exercises on our first night. It gives us hope that he can become a good boy!
Jim did an amazing job! He explained thoroughly! This training exceeded our expectations.
Great Results!

Wished I had used this with my first dog, when she was a puppy!

We like not using physical techniques. Great way of teaching the owners and the dog.
I would recommend Bark Busters because it is a non-violent natural method
Very good at listening and addressing Sasha's needs.
I found it to be very helpful. Both my pets responded according with the exception of my Pit Bull Honey, however, it was a rainy day and we really couldn't get much done with the distance recall. I am trying every day to work with her on that, however, she seems hell bent on getting out of the back yard every chance she gets and only seems to notice us if we are acting like crazy people, getting super excited about her and then maybe she'll get distracted enough to head our way. We just have a lot going on outside that gets her excited. I know with consistency this will get better. As for Demon, he had a wonderful lesson and I was very proud of him. He caught on to what I asked him to do in just a couple of times. Jim was very patient and kind and encouraging both to myself and Honey and Demon. I highly recommend anyone having behavioral issues with their pets to contact these fine people. It is obvious they have a strong love for animals and show compassion while teaching as well as patience. I appreciate all of that and look forward to our next lesson. Thank you Jim for being awesome. :)
