As a Master Trainer, I will teach you how to communicate with your dog AND provide guaranteed support for the life of your pet. Our techniques work with any age, any breed, any issue. You and your dog get one-on-one attention. Together we will build a custom training plan that is simple, natural, and FAST! Our methods focus on creating a positive relationship between you and your dog to improve your dog's behavior and obedience. Our expertise is in understanding how a dog naturally thinks, learns and communicates and then using this to show you how to be your dog’s leader. Once this relationship is established, behavior change is a natural next step. We only use positive methods, no harsh treatment and you will see immediate results!
A peaceful home is one phone call away!

Most behavioral issues are learned as a result of experiences and environment, because of this, home dog training is so effective. Home is consequently where most behavioral issues occur and it’s where your dog feels the safest. Since your dog can’t speak English and you can’t “speak dog” many miscommunications occur. At Bark Busters, we can teach you how to communicate with your dog in a language he understands.
