Introduction

We do not charge by the hour or have a package with a set number of lessons for you to learn to train your dog. Our training comes with a support guarantee. The Bark Busters guarantee, whether for one year or for the life of the dog, means we'll continue to work with you to help your dog become the companion you want him to be. Bark Busters uses methods that are not treat based or physical. The owner learns to communicate with their dog is a way that the dog instinctively understands. This leads to a greater bond between the dog and the owner. Most behavioral issues are the result of a lack of understanding and communication. As a result, both the dog and owner are frustrated and confused by the other. It is a wonderful feeling to be able to help owners and dogs become happier together!

My 13 y/o dog was barking incessantly at the cows outside the fence around our new home, pulling on the leash, and not coming when called, etc. He stopped all the problem behaviors in one lesson. I'd highly recommend Bark Busters for dog training.

Ms Maxine and Her Husband are exemplary trainers. They are very flexible, and very effective. Their instructions are clear. I saw a great turnaround in my dog's behavior immediately after the training session, and continued to improve from then on. This is a great program.

Wow, just wow. So happy I met Maxine. So personable, and she made so much difference in just one session. Looking forward to the next one. It’s like learning magical keys to communicate with your dog.

Kirby stated learning right away. Gave us exercises to work on until our next training appointment. I think this is a very professional company and I would definitely recommend them.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our pricing is based on the number of dogs to be trained, the length of support desired by the client, and sometimes on the specific outcomes requested (for example, helping train a service dog is a more intensive training than helping with a naughty pet).
What types of customers have you worked with?
Helping families eliminate problem behaviors their dogs exhibit. These include excessive barking, pulling on leash when walking, and not responding to commands.
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
My goal is to help you learn how to train your dog to be the companion you're hoping for.
