Best Dog Training in Minneapolis & St. Paul

Welcome! We are Michael & Lydia O’Leary, Dog Behavioral Therapists and Dog Trainers for Bark Busters Home Dog Training in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and their northern suburbs.

We love helping our clients learn how to communicate effectively with their dogs in a natural way that builds a stronger bond, trust, and respect. Bark Busters trainers have worked with more than a million dogs and their dedicated owners. We would love to learn more about your needs and goals for your dog and family!

Dog-Friendly Communication Techniques

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:

How we can help you:

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:

  • Nuisance barking
  • Aggression behavior
  • Jumping up
  • Pulling on the leash and walking to heel
  • Nipping/Chewing/Mouthing
  • Basic obedience
  • Digging in the yard
  • Toileting in the house
  • Separation anxiety
  • Puppy training
  • Over excitement
  • And MORE!

We will customize training to your personal situation, needs, and goals, and make it an enjoyable experience!
