Home Dog Training in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota
Hello! We are Michael and Lydia O'Leary, Dog Behavioral Therapists and Dog Trainers for Bark Busters Home Dog Training in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and their surrounding suburbs. Let us introduce ourselves to you. I, Michael, was raised in Eden Prairie and I am a proud St. John's University graduate. My wife, Lydia, grew up in Sauk Rapids, MN and graduated from St. Cloud State University. We are lifetime lovers of dogs and are Bark Busters Certified Canine Trainers and Behavioral Therapists.
We are blessed daily with the ability to help dogs and their owners find and experience companionship, loyalty, fun, and love. Our training system is based on natural canine communication which dramatically increases the pace of learning without using harsh or painful methods. It will be a great honor and pleasure to work with you, your family, and your canine companions.
Bark Busters uses positive, dog-friendly communication techniques that dogs instinctively understand. This typically speeds up the education process, without using treats, clickers, or any harsh or physical methods. We will never use prong, pinch, shock (e-collar), or choke collars, nor will we ever force a dog to do anything.We help clients teach their dogs to think and make good choices. The training method is so effective, that immediate positive results are often seen within the first 2-3 hours of training.
Our dog training methods are effective, and don't just take our word for it:
Also, please feel free to contact your veterinary clinic for a reference, the majority of the clinics in the area personally recommend us and Bark Busters to their clients.
Dogs learn best when they can focus on the dog owner and dog trainer without distractions. In their home, dogs are less stressed, and therefore we can focus on the issues and they learn very quickly. It's also important for you to know how to control your dog in "real life" situations and we will assist with this by going to public places if desired and when ready.
Bark Busters was initially founded to help people whose dogs had behavioral problems and were in danger of being abandoned or euthanized. This mission is one of the reasons why we are here today. Whatever your specific need is, we are here to help. Our clients learn how to eliminate the "bad dog" behaviors like:
We will customize training to your personal situation, needs, and goals, and make it an enjoyable experience!

Mike was amazing to work with! He provided amazing insight into our dog's behaviors in a way that was both professional and empathetic. Saw huge improvement in our dogs behaviors and anxiety levels in just one session. Can't wait to use the tools and skills Mike taught us to continue to work with our dogs. Could not recommend this program more! Tha...
