I love helping people and of course love dogs. I will coach you & your dog through training exercises that are easy to learn and simple to use. By nature, dogs need strong pack leaders, someone who will make them feel safe and secure. I train dog owners to fulfill that role so that your dog knows who is in charge and follows your commands.
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.
