About Better Bullies Dog Training

Better Bullies Dog Training works the hard end of the behavior spectrum and says so in one line: "Behavioral dog training that keeps dogs with their owners." The published specialization is narrow and specific – "Specializing in aggression, reactivity, leash pulling, biting, and excessive barking."

What they take on

Four problem areas are each described on their own terms. Aggression and reactivity get "Targeted behavioral protocols for dogs that lunge, growl, or react to people, dogs, or stimuli." Leash pulling is framed as "Calm, controlled walks built through structured leash communication and handler skills." Biting and mouthing means "Address resource guarding, nipping, and bite inhibition with clear, consistent boundaries." Excessive barking is handled by cause – "Identify root causes and replace nuisance barking with calm, settled behavior."

How the work runs

The site publishes a four-step process: a call describing the dog and the behaviors, an assessment of the dog, the environment and the owner's goals, "A tailored training program built around your dog and your lifestyle", then "Hands-on coaching so the change stays long after training ends."

What the reviews show

The client reviews published on the site consistently describe owner education rather than dog handling alone – one describes being taught "how to understand canine body language, manage reactivity, and respond in ways that build trust and confidence", another that the trainer "used a no nonsense approach by training me!" Those reviews name the trainer as Jeff.

What to ask

Ask about certifications, how long the business has run and prices, and for a street address if you need one; the homepage gives the location as Roanoke, VA.
