What people have asked about this business.
Do you do agility classes ?
No we do not do agility. We do teach dogs what they need in order to understand what their owners want & don’t want. This can help with agility and any behavior in a public setting or at home.
Hi LaTonya, absolutely, we train puppies! Puppies are the best deal for our services because we offer unlimited help for the life of the dog! All dogs go through many behavior phases. With Bark Busters, you’ll have built-in help every step of the way! Every dog benefits from training. Being proactive is very smart vs waiting for problems to arise.

We have a New Leash on life! After our 1st session with Sharon, we are confident we are on the road to easing the severe separation anxiety our Sparky has. He came to us in Jan after being rescued from Helene and losing his mom. We love him so much, and wanted to help him be happy when we aren't home. We tried everything, we thought, then called bark busters. We know it will take time but we feel sure we now have the tools needed to speak Dog language. I'll update in 2 months, but he was so responsive today, it was really remarkable. We highly recommend Sharon.

Highly recommend! Sharon is absolutely amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable and warm in her approach. She is non-judgmental and meets you (and your pup) where you are. We have a whole new perspective on what "training" means. She shows you how to set (or reset) hierarchy in the household so that you are the leader of the pack and can set boundaries for your dog in their own language. Its amazing how much of a difference just the first session can make for behavior and mindset. Our puppy is a 7-month-old bernedoodle and this was the perfect time to start working with Sharon before any unwanted behaviors start to become more regular. The other major selling point for us was the lifetime support guarantee. The fact that we can work with Sharon on our own schedule for the rest of our pup's life gives us a huge sense of security no matter what life throws at us.

Sharon has been absolutely amazing with our cockapoo! From the very first session, she gave us clear, practical strategies that worked right away. She is patient, professional, and truly understands dog behavior. Our pup has made huge progress thanks to her guidance, and we feel so much more confident as owners.

Sharon has shown me in one day what I’ve been trying to accomplish for years. I am absolutely thrilled with what I witnessed today. I have two reactive dogs with separation anxiety and one that lacks boundaries and is incredibly energetic. When people walk by with or without dogs, Gunnar goes nuts and I was struggling to control the situation and feeling so frustrated in the process. Today I watched him engage and disengage almost instantly as a neighbor walked his dogs by my window. And I watched him respond to the correction multiple times in our session. I also watched my older, reactive dog Riley walk past a plush dog that he first barked and lunged at. With guidance from Bark Buster’s Trainer he calmly walked past without even showing interest in the dog. We also addressed leash pulling. Gunnar is the type of dog who would choke himself to go on a walk and I had tried almost everything to make it stop. Nothing worked until today. I watched my dog slow down, check in with me, and walk behind me instead of pulling me. Sharon taught me things I never would have thought of when it comes to training a dog. There’s no use of harsh collars or punishments. I truly believe with our continued practice of these techniques and use of tools that my dogs will become confident, comfortable, less reactive, and less anxious. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Thanks to Bark Busters, I now have what I need to help my dogs live a happier life.
