Why Choose Bark Busters?
WORLD’S LARGEST DOG TRAINING BUSINESS
Bark Busters was founded in Australia 1989 and is now in eleven countries. We have trained over 500,000 dogs worldwide, which means there is no issue we haven’t corrected.
SPCA ENDORSED
In 2008, 2009 and 2010 the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals International (SPCA) named Bark Busters as the “Best of the Best” for Excellence in Pet Behavior Training.
FED UP WITH YOUR DOG’S BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS?
Are you irritated, frustrated, angry, or even desperate dealing with your dog’s inappropriate, embarrassing, or destructive behaviors? Don’t worry any longer; you have come to the right place, Bark Busters. Behavioral problems like excessive barking, jumping up, aggression towards people and other dogs, digging, marking, chewing, sibling rivalry and separation anxiety are only a few of the issues that we, as behavioral therapists, can help you begin to conquer in one visit (less than 3 hours). All follow up visits are about one hour.
HUMANE, NON PHYSICAL TRAINING METHODS
Bark Busters uses dog-friendly training techniques. We will teach you a system of communication your dog already knows, based on canine communication and pack behavior. You will learn how to use your body language and vocal communication to get your dog to focus and respect you. You can learn to educate your dog on what behaviors are acceptable and which are not. Bark Busters’ training methods are pain free (no shock collars, spray collars, or pronged collars.) We do not use treats or clickers.
EFFICIENT IN-HOME TRAINING
We come to your home at a time convenient to everyone in your household. Dogs learn more quickly, suffer less stress, and pay attention better in their home environment. In the first session, you will see dramatic improvements in your dog’s behavior. The effectiveness of the Bark Busters system and speed with which it works is truly amazing.
CUSTOMIZED TRAINING
We assess your personal situation and will custom tailor our training to address the issues most important to you based upon the temperament and needs of your dog.
GUARANTEED LIFETIME SUPPORT
Bark Busters believes in its method so strongly that it offers a written Life of the Dog Support. Bark Busters will return, free of charge, to work with you if any new behavioral issues arise. It gives you peace of mind knowing you have a training partner for the life of your dog.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY . . .
Kathy was helpful and insightful, had lots of good, useful information. Very knowledgeable and was able to diagnose issues with Gus immediately. Great service! --Steve, Littleton
We just wanted to tell you how much we appreciated your training; it has made a huge difference. Elway no longer harasses the cats and we can finally sit down on the couch and have a nice relaxing evening without Elway barking like crazy. Thank you. --Lindsay, Littleton
I was skeptical about the cost and technique because I felt I had tried everything with my dog and she would still not behave. Kathy had her behavior corrected in less than five minutes-I was shocked. Wonderful idea! Really, really works. --Corey, Castle Rock
I’ve spoken highly about this program to several people I know who have dogs. We were pleased with the quick response to our problem and just need to keep implementing it. Pete was very knowledgeable. --Angela, Littleton
Our dogs had us, me especially, well trained! Now we understand that we are the leaders and we make up the rules, not the dogs. It’s going to be fun for us to remember our training, so that we can in fact lead. Thank you! --Amy, Highlands Ranch
From the short time Kathy came into our home until the time she left our dog Sparky changed from a dog that was confused and defiant to a well behaved, relaxed happy guy. I think the training Kathy did to us humans in order to better understand canine language made all the difference. --Allan, Highlands Ranch
So far worth every penny! The girls are doing so well and so are we. Kathy is so gentle and patient. --Lisa, Littleton
What a difference a day makes! I am amazed at how simple and easy this method was for me to learn how to relate to my dog. Amber has responded remarkably. She understands she doesn’t have to jump up to get my attention. This is great! --Barbara, Highlands Ranch
I feel like I got a new dog. Bark Busters gave me the tools I need to control Kube. He is no longer in control of me. Life is better now. --Alicia, Littleton
This is an amazing experience! Bailey was a completely different dog after just 2 hours! The instructions were very easy for us to follow and Bailey continues to respond positively. --Anne, Littleton
40 years as a dog owner and 30 years as a veterinarian did not prepare me for the problems we had with this dog. Two lessons with Bark Busters made her a new and vastly improved member of our household. Words can’t tell you how pleased we all are with the changes! I wish I had used you first instead of taking 20 weeks of traditional training with her. --Kathleen- DVM. Parker
