Best Dog Training in Dutchess County
We welcome you to the Bark Busters website, and we are delighted that you are looking into training your dog and considering our service to help you achieve your goals. We understand the embarrassment and frustration that comes with owning a dog that has behavioral issues, and we also understand the concern that comes along with owning a potentially aggressive dog.

If your dog has general obedience issues, engages in nuisance barking, does not consistently come when you call him/her, reacts aggressively to strangers or other animals and/or suffers from separation anxiety, we can help. We can also help you to address countless other unwanted behaviors to make your dog a happy member of your family.

While an undisciplined dog is bothersome, the problem can be much larger than that. An undisciplined dog can also cause bad feelings among neighbors and possible legal problems, as well as create potentially dangerous situations for you.

Read what our clients say about us...

The results were absolutely amazing.  I am so grateful. -- Kelly F., Pleasant Valley, NY

My Bark Busters experience with Barbara was everything I could have hoped for and more.  The methods are very clear, simple and non-threatening and something I could do on my own effectively.-- Maya W., Kingston, NY

Barbara was fabulous!-- Deborah E., Highland, NY

I was amazed how quickly Samson learned using the Bark Busters techniques.  Bark Busters gives me confidence that I can have a well-trained dog that will be a pleasure to be around.-- Jeannie C., Poughkeepsie, NY

Barbara was very thorough and helped me to understand why Smudges behaves the way he does and how I might make his life less stressful.-- Ann B., Red Hook, NY

We feel like we have a new dog after only one day – No prong collar, no pulling or biting leash.  No jumping.  No stealing food.  Our experience so far has been nothing short of amazing.-- Isabell I., Dover Plains, NY

I couldn’t imagine myself being successful at this, or my dog being successful.  By the time Barbara left, [Cleo} was relaxed and submissive.  Wow!-- Maryann W., Poughkeepsie, NY

I was impressed with the progress Maggie made in such a short time.  The trainer was knowledgeable and patient.  I thoroughly enjoyed my experience.-- Karen F., Highland, NY

[Barbara] didn’t rush through the training.  She explained everything very clearly and made sure I understood the process.  Allie and I were comfortable with all stages of the training.  I am so glad I called Bark Busters.-- Evelyn C., Wappingers Falls, NY

The quick change in [Hudson’s] behavior was amazing.– Jennifer M., Hyde Park, NY

Lucy (a 1 year old Pit Bull mix) responded immediately to each of the training techniques.  By the end of the session, I finally assumed a leadership role and (Lucy’s) level of high anxiety miraculously diminished as she looked to me for direction and praise.---I was amazed to learn how to communicate with Lucy on her level of dog, in her language of dog.  I was pleased to learn relatively simple techniques that produced major results and all using positive methods.---I would definitely recommend Bark Busters.  I have used other trainers in the past, plus a behaviorist, and spent lots of money and time working with Lucy.  Bark Busters, in less than 2 hours, gave me the tools I needed to help Lucy become a happier dog and, in turn, make me a happier owner.-- Andrea T., Poughkeepsie, NY – Vet Tech

Barbara was very patient and understanding with any question or concern we expressed. I was extremely impressed at how our dogs immediately responded to [the training]. My husband and I do not like forceful aggressive training and were impressed with how quickly the dogs responded to the remarkably easy commands. Once we understood the “whys”, it was interesting to watch our dogs look at us with a different sense of respect. I realize that just as with children, we humans have to be trained first.  Barbara was exceptional and so patient.-- Laura B., Stormville, NY

This was a positive experience for me and my dog.  Both of us were at ease throughout the whole session which is not something I have experienced with other training organizations.  It is an effective, humane approach.  Thank you!-- Jennifer N., Poughkeepsie, NY

It was easier than we thought and we already see a difference in our three dogs.  They are much calmer and are listening to us.  Our dogs are less anxious and not snapping at each other.-- Darlene D., Red Hook, NY

I was pleased with the natural training techniques.  I attended another class and food did not work with our Silky.  The training experience was interesting and enjoyable; time flew and our dog was very engaged in the training.  I would recommend Bark Busters to friends and neighbors – friendly exchange between all – comfortable to train at home.-- Grisel D., Wappingers Falls, NY
