Bark Busters Pinellas County

Sharon was absolutely the best for our little Sadie. Sadie found us after spending several months in the humane society and another shelter before. It was love at first sight. She was the missing piece for me and my husband. Once we got home we noticed although Sadie is very smart she had a few manners to learn to help me feel more at home. We reached out to Sharon after a recommendation from our vet tech. We did our initial phone consultation and I immediately knew it was going to be a good fit. The day of our first training session came and we learned so many new things in terms of how we help our Sadie to understand she does not have to be our packs leader, me and my husband will take care of those things. We worked on some leash walking and she was really catching on quickly our little Sadie is so smart! After our initial training when we went on a walk that evening she did so well. Remembering some of the new rules that mom and dad will lead the walk. Training your pet is never cheap or easy. In this case you’re not just training your pet but yourself to allow them to relax. My husband and I are so happy with every penny spent helping our Sadie be able to relax and just follow along. We can’t wait to continue doing our homework and schedule follow up visits as needed. Thank you so much Sharon for helping us set our Sadie up for success.

Our experience working with Sharon has been exceptional. Using the methods she taught us in our 1st session we were able to see results immediately. Sharon gave us exercises to work on daily. We are also able to communicate with her at any time in between sessions with any questions we may have. The methods taught to us by Sharon are not harsh and are based on proven methods. We are starting to enjoy a calmer, well behaved dog thanks to Sharon. Excellent program!!!

I adopted my dog from a rescue, and from day one, she was anxious and scared. I spent countless hours watching YouTube videos and reading online resources, trying to help her, especially with leash walking. Despite my efforts, walks were always a struggle—until I met Sharon from Bark Busters Pinellas. Our first session was a game-changer. For the very first time, my dog walked calmly beside me. I honestly couldn’t believe it. Sharon’s approach is simple, effective, and most importantly, tailored to my dog’s comfort by working in our home environment. That made all the difference. What truly sold me was not just the immediate results, but the lifetime support the program offers. Knowing I can reach out for help at any point in my dog’s life is invaluable. I’m beyond excited to continue applying the tools and training Sharon provided to make every walk a positive experience. If you're struggling or just want a better connection with your dog, I can’t recommend Sharon and Bark Busters enough!

Sharon helped us train our 2 1/2 year old stubborn French bulldog with a list of behaviors we needed help with correcting. Leo showed improvement on our first session. Sharon taught us how to teach our dog Leo to stop leashing pulling, jumping on us, and stop stealing things around the house. Sharon gave us dog friendly correction techniques that dont include treat training which was important to us as we did not want him to rely on treats for good behavior. After 2 weeks of us applying the training We reached out to Sharon for another session to work on Leo in a Public park to correct jumping on strangers and greeting other dogs appropriately and she responded quickly and was able to get us on her schedule same day with no problems. We highly recommend Sharon as we are very happy to see a huge difference in his behaviors over the past few weeks we been working with her that we can take Leo out more often without him becoming overexerted and jumping on everyone and not stealing everything we drop or shoes left out. Her sessions are worth every penny and the peace of mind that we can get as many training sessions as needed if we need more guidance.
