Home Dog Training in Austin West, Texas

Welcome to the Best Dog Training in Austin West!

Hi! I'm Lori Carr, Austin West's Master Certified Dog Trainer and Dog Behavioral Therapist.

I’ve had the pleasure of training thousands of dogs over the last several years. I’ve worked with a wide variety of dog behavior issues from aggression and barking to separation anxiety and sibling rivalry. 

How do I know I can help you with your dog?

Why Bark Busters Austin West? What Sets Us Apart From Other Trainers?

1. We train dog owners, not dogs. The problem is not really with you or your dog. It’s the fact that you are communicating in two totally different languages and neither can understand the other. We work with you, the dog owner, to take your natural place in the pack as the leader by using voice tones and body language.

“My training was only 4 days ago, and I can’t believe the difference in my dogs. I say ‘my’ training because I was really the one that needed most of the training! The first day after the training, I was able to walk both my dogs at the same time and they walked behind me and were very calm.” - Billie B.

2. Your dog’s behavior will transform before your eyes immediately. You will see amazing changes in your dog’s behavior after the first lesson launching you into a foundation that we will build on to provide the lasting changes you desire.

“Lori is amazing! I was a little skeptical but after 2.5 hours I have a different dog. She is very knowledgeable and skilled at training and the Bark Busters program could not be easier.” - Bonnie D.

3. Our methods are all humane and don’t rely on shock collars or treats. Bark Busters only uses positive, humane training techniques. Negative reinforcement such as shock collars, prong collars or punishment can result in a more aggressive dog. Unless you own stock in a dog treat company or carry treats 24/7, treat training is not the way to go either.

“Lori is amazing! After one session my 18-month old rescue puppy was completely trained. I have raised 10 dogs, worked at Austin Pets Alive, and taught yoga to dogs. In all my experiences I have never seen a dog respond this quickly to any training method. I LOVE the fact that her method does not use treats to bribe your dog.” - Lori R.

4. We can train any dog, any age, any breed. I have trained all size dogs from Chihuahuas to St. Bernards, puppies to seniors, full bred to mutts and everything in between. In fact, we are often called in when other dog training methods have failed, because we can tackle the tough cases.

If we hear any complaint, it’s that our clients wished they had called us sooner. Call today!

On a personal note, as a Master Dog Behavioral Therapist and Dog Trainer, I have had the pleasure of working with many different breeds of dogs as well as many different types of behavior for nearly 10 years. I enjoy helping my clients create a more loving, trusting relationship and bond with their dog in the comfort of their own home. At home I enjoy spending time with my two dogs - Griffin, a 5-year-old Pugzu (rescued in the fall of 2016) and Greta, a 3-year-old Pugzu (rescued in the summer of 2019).

I also love giving back to the community and enjoy being able to provide help for two local area rescue groups – Austin Pug Rescue and SAFE Refuge of Texas by offering free consultations, training, and fostering dogs in need.

Bark Busters is the #1 World's Largest Dog Training company with more than 30 years experience and well over 1 million dogs trained!
