Bernie Thomas

I was raised around animals - horses, birds, cats, turtles and even a pet alligator. But my dogs, well, they were always my favorites. We owned Poodles and a Great Dane and several breeds in between! Currently, I am the "pack leader" of a Cocker-Lab and a Golden-Rhodesian Ridgeback.

Even as a child, I took part in socializing and training my family's dogs. And now, I'm very happy to devote my professional time to something I enjoy: I help dog owners with their dogs' behavioral problems, helping families to discover the love and companionship that only a dog can give.

I am also the mother of three , including a wonderful teenager with special needs. I find it so rewarding to help dogs and special people (all of us are special!) learn to serve each other.

The Bark Busters technique is unique and humane. The system is simple, gentle and holistic. No need to get physical with your dog. Our friendly approach works for any behavior: barking, jumping, aggression, toileting. . . . And it works for all dogs of all ages.

We offer our LIFE of the DOG GUARANTEE, so you can always depend on us . . . even if you move to a different locale.

We assess individual situations in your home and tailor our training specifically to you and your canine companion.

Our goal: to help you enjoy your dog. Our motto: HAPPY DOGS = HAPPY FAMILIES!!!

Call or email me to schedule an appointment or to request advice. I'll be happy to serve you and your dog.
