We are natives of the northwest suburbs and long time dog owners. With Bark Busters, we have been given the opportunity to show others how to improve the relationship between their family members and their dogs.

When you have a better understanding of what your dog is really telling you (why he’s barking, why he’s nipping the hand that feeds it, why he’s bowling over guests at the front door or dragging you down the street), you can use the methods we teach you to make positive changes in your dog’s behavior and create a more enjoyable environment in your household.

As certified Bark Busters behavioral therapists and trainers, we will teach you a system of communication that your dog already understands. You will learn how to use your body language and vocal communication to get your dog to respect and focus on you. Once you have your dog’s focus and respect, the opportunity for education is suddenly created, enabling you to help your dog more easily understand which behaviors are acceptable in your home and which ones are not.

Our methods are non-physical, easy to learn and extremely effective. By training in your home, your dog remains in his own environment; thus, he will be more comfortable and will more easily retain the desired behavioral changes. And, unlike other techniques, the initial training takes less than three hours of your time – that’s it! Our written Life of the Dog Guarantee provides the added assurance of support and training when needed throughout the life of your dog, even if you should move to a different town, a different state, or even one of eight different countries.

So, whether your dog is having severe behavioral problems or just needs to learn good manners, give us a call. The Bark Busters training system will work for you quickly and easily, just as it has with over 300,000 other dogs.

We look forward to working with you and your dog. You will be pleased with the results!

Amazed with the results! --Dawn O., South Barrington, IL

It seems like a great way to train! --Diane H., North Barrington, IL

Rick is outstanding, patient, and professional. --Diane B., Algonquin, IL

This program is wonderful and well worth the cost. We have already recommended Bark Busters to our friends and neighbors. --Nancy H., Barrington, IL

We were surprised how well the dogs seemed to catch on. Eleanor doesn’t respond very well to treat training, so this method is great. I’ve tried a couple of different forms of training prior to this, but none of them left me as optimistic as Bark Busters. --Angela M., Palatine, IL

This was the best experience! --Kathy S., Palatine, IL

Addison was more well behaved than we’ve seen her in months – after only on hour! We can tell it will be more successful than anything else we’ve tried. --Sarah B., East Dundee, IL

What a difference in a short time! --Katie & Dan O., Schaumburg, IL

We noticed results right away. This was very enlightening, educational & enjoyable. --Nicole G., Barrington, IL

Molly began responding to us instantly! Any dog can do this! --Barbara K., Palatine, IL

I like the fact that it’s not reward-based or physical. I definitely believe this training is very beneficial! --Beth B., Carpentersville, IL

We especially like the non-physical correction and also having a one-on-one session in our home. We are very happy to have gone with this training as opposed to other training facilities. --Kim C., Palatine, IL
