Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat 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.

Sharon is amazing!! I reached out when I adopted a miniature golden doodle puppy. She came to the house and gave me the techniques I needed to teach my puppy. Within two days he was walking on a leash, when she left I had the tools to teach him not to jump on me constantly and to stop him from constantly biting on my pants and hands. Within 4 weeks he was completely potty trained. We are now 2 months in and I reached back out to Sharon as my now 5 month old puppy was starting to not obey when I was ready for him to come in from playing. Sharon responded the same day and came back to the house two days later. Within a matter of 10 minutes I had the techniques to get Milo to come inside when I decided it was time. No punishment and no treats just natural techniques they respond to. It is amazing to see Sharon have such control immediately and see my dog respond. I have been able to achieve the same results just by following her guidelines. I highly recommend Sharon. She is friendly, responsive and a great with dogs!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Sharon from Bark Busters Pinellas County to address my dog's behavioral issues, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. From the moment she entered our home, Sharon's expertise and calm demeanor were evident. She took the time to understand our specific concerns and tailored the training to our dog's unique needs. One of the most impressive aspects of Sharon's approach is her emphasis on communication and respect, rather than relying on treats or physical corrections. This method not only led to immediate improvements but also strengthened the bond between us and our furry friend. For instance, within the first session, our dog stopped jumping on guests and began walking calmly on a leash—a transformation we hadn't thought possible so quickly. Sharon's dedication didn't stop after the initial visit. She provided us with the tools and knowledge to continue reinforcing positive behaviors and made herself available for any follow-up questions. Her commitment to ensuring long-term success is truly commendable. We are a week into our training and our dog continues to improve. I highly recommend Bark Busters Pinellas County to any dog owner seeking effective, compassionate, and lasting training solutions. Our home is now a more peaceful and happy place, thanks to Sharon's guidance.
Sharon is incredible!! She has so much knowledge about dog's behaviors and why they do what they do. We spent 3 hours together this afternoon and my dog is already getting “it”!!! Can’t wait to train again tomorrow. If I forget something, she will help me out or come back. Try this program, you can’t loose!!!
