Meet Scot, Your Local Expert Dog Trainer
Home Dog Training in Southern New England!
If you are reading this then you're probably frustrated with your dog's behavior and you may be comparing dog trainers and dog training programs. The Bark Busters dog training program is unlike any other dog training system.
Welcome. I am Scot Masamery. As the owner and operator of Bark Busters Home Dog Training of Southern New England since 2006, I've specialized in helping people through difficult situations with their dogs, and partnering with them to solve their problems. Through the years, I have witnessed a lot in the world of canine behavioral modification.
Historically, trainers were taught that dogs, as pack animals, instinctively seek a dominant "Alpha" leader - leading to many dog training methods that focus on asserting authority.
However at Bark Busters we believe effective leadership in dog training isn’t about dominance—it's about building a relationship based on mutual trust, clear communication, and consistency. Dogs naturally look to those they trust, bond with, and respect for guidance. While the idea of dogs being pack animals isn’t entirely incorrect, they thrive when given compassionate, structured leadership. Our balanced training approach respects your dog's social nature but also fosters a healthy, trusting relationship between you and your dog so that your dog looks to you for direction.
Our personalized in-home training brings lasting results where your dog feels most comfortable—at home. We address behavioral issues, socialization, and leash manners with customized training tailored to your dog's temperament and environment. Unlike one-size-fits-all classes, we create a program just for you, working at your pace for as long as needed. Most owners see immediate improvements in our first 3-hour session, with lasting changes through consistent reinforcement.
We use dog-friendly methods. We never use shock collars, prong collars, or force. Our approach relies on effective communication, positive reinforcement, and leadership—without bribing with treats.
We focus on communication. Dogs don’t speak English! We teach you how to use body language and vocal tones so your dog understands and responds to you naturally.
Any dog, any breed, any age, any issue. From puppies to seniors, our training works for every dog. Start your puppy off right or help your older dog learn new tricks.
We are Vet recommended. Veterinarians across Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island recommend Bark Busters because we help prevent dogs from being abandoned due to behavior issues. Any dog can be a “good dog” with the right training!
