Bark Busters Lake Norman

John and Diane are truly miracle workers. Many life-changing events left my dog, Miss Carter, very anxious around other people and dogs. As others have noted, I was skeptical of training that didn’t involve treats or punishment, but we gave it a shot. What I learned early is that the training was more for me and the results were phenomenal… you could tell she was a different dog from the first training and it just compounded with each additional training. She is so much more calm, confident and happy – and EVERYONE has noticed it. She even has a new dog best friend that she plays with all the time. I only wish we had found John and Diane sooner!

Diane and John are so good at what they do. They helped our whole family understand dog behavior so that we could work WITH our dogs rather than against them. We have 2 golden doodles and live on a farm so they helped us teach them how to interact with the animals. Diane responds quickly to questions and has very useful recommendations. We are very happy that we worked with them to train our dogs and highly recommend them.

Diane and John truly made a difference in my life and my dogs life! My rescue was going to have to be put down because he was so aggressive. Their method is one that is very good for dogs that are aggressive towards other people and other dogs. Plus my dog was a door dasher. They helped me with that as well. not only that, my dog was digging in the garbage cans. they helped me with that as well. everything that my dog could possibly do wrong, they were able to fix. I am indebted to them greatly. my home is much more peaceful and I am a happy dog owner and so is my dog!

Diane and John are amazing! They are so knowledgeable and are so good at what they do. We have two yorkipoos and they barked at everything. We were so shocked that after just one session, the barking has significantly decreased. Our only regret is that we didn’t do this sooner. We are finally feeling hopeful about getting this crazy barking under control! We are really looking forward to our future sessions with Diane and John!
