Are you somewhere between irritation and desperation?
Just want a well-behaved dog that listens?

Bark Busters life of the dog guarantee assures you will finally have peace of mind; and ultimately a new sense of peace in your home. We will work with you in your home on any behavioral issue your dog has: from constant barking, jumping on guests, not listening, pulling on leash, to separation anxiety, aggression, and more.

Our training system is based on how dogs naturally learn and teach each other. My goal is for you to have control of your dog/s using voice control and body language. We don’t use harsh techniques which generally do more harm than good. After you learn the Bark Busters systems your dog will respond to you, as his/her leader, through respect, not just reacting to food or fear.

Dog learn best when they can focus on the owner and trainer without distractions. In their home dogs are less stressed, and therefore can focus on the issues, and learn very quickly. It’s important for you to know how to control your dog in “real life” situations. We accomplish this through our private and personalized sessions that help you and your dog overcome the specific challenges you are facing, and achieve your training goals. Simply stated when you succeed we succeed.

A little about me . . .
As a child, I lived in my grandfather’s home where he raised dogs. I fondly remember when the puppies were born and those magic moments of shaky first steps. As I grew older, dogs were always an important part of my life.

As your local Bark Busters trainer, I bring my lifelong love of dogs plus a diverse range of skills from management, business ownership, teaching and storytelling to each training session. In the last ten years, I was instrumental in founding an artist co-operative, co-founded a custom tile business, and was pricing manager for a large food warehouse.

Today, I am happy to be part of the Bark Busters network: people who strive to make a difference in the world by using a natural approach to solving dogs' problems. I believe all dogs can learn to behave properly, have good manners and be happy.

Happy Dogs = Happy Families!

:

This is an incredible program! Our German Shepard went from very bad to great in just the first visit. Everyone should use this program. – Stephanie & Cory T., Spartanburg, SC

Larry took the time to address our special needs. Our dog has the habit of swallowing socks which has become life threatening. (We have had to rush him to emergency 3 times.) I really believe the Bark Busters program is going to save his life! The program is amazing! – Ellen & Jeff S., Mauldin, SC

Our instructor has demonstrated the upmost in patience. We were unable to do anything with Shadow. He now walks with me on his leash, sits, stays and is starting to drop. There is at least 150% improvement. – Glenda T., Gray Court, SC

Larry really helped us target our dogs problems and communicate with them in a way we could get results.  Thank you! – J.E.,  Greenville, SC

Before training, Roscoe basically did what he wanted. After training, I feel he responded very well ....
–Lorraine & Jay W., Boiling Springs, SC

Very humane, quick easy technique, easy to understand - for the dog and me! – Thomasence O., Spartanburg SC
