Home Dog Training in Minneapolis North, Minnesota
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!
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.
