Our passion is teaching dog owners how to communicate, in a wholly natural and humane way, with their dogs. Then, dogs understand the difference between appropriate and inappropriate behavior and learn to make good decisions.
Joining Bark Busters and being mentored by some of the top dog trainers in the country, and the world, has shown us how much we can contribute to our clients and their families. Working with dogs and their owners truly brings us a sense of joy and fulfillment in life. We look forward to showing you a better way to a better dog!

Most behavioral issues are learned based on both experiences and environment. That’s why in home dog training is so effective because this is where most behavioral issues occur and it’s where your dog feels the safest. Because 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.
