Is your dog driving you bonkers?
This may seem like common sense, but to most people it is not given much thought…
Your dog is not bilingual. They do not speak English, Spanish, German, etc. They speak and understand DOG. Do you? Because if you don’t, you are lost in translation. A lack of communication is often at the root of owner/dog issues. We can help with that!
Let us introduce ourselves, we are Omar & Ryanne Rubio, your local Dog Behavioral Therapists and Trainers! We are passionate about our work with dogs and creating lasting results for our clients! We will take the time to get to know you, your family, and your specific needs when it comes to training your dog.
We help you achieve the pack leader role in your pack/family by incorporating patience and the 4 C’s: Calmness, Confidence, Consistency, and Communication.
For the last several years we've been small business owners working with clients in Lakeville, Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Rosemount, Farmington, Woodbury and throughout the Dakota County region.
Whether you're struggling with severe dog aggression, your dog's separation anxiety, sibling rivalry among pets, or just looking for help with dog obedience or foundational puppy training - we're here to help!
We empower dog owners with simple, effective, time-efficient, and cruelty-free techniques (no shock collars, no prong collars, no physical punishments) that will work alongside our dog’s natural instincts. Our methods (Speaking Dog) are based on how dogs naturally communicate, your dog already understands these methods. You will see significant changes within your dog’s behavioral attitude during your first lesson alone. We can help you develop mutual trust and respect as well as developing/strengthening the bond between you and your dog.

Is Your Dog Aggressively Resource Guarding?
Resource guarding is one of the most common forms of aggression we see in Dakota County, Lakeville & Woodbury. This is when a dog becomes aggressive, or sometimes called protective or territorial, when guarding a high-value item. Basically, your dog is attempting to assert their ownership over something important to them - toy, bed, treat, food, water, or even a favorite human.
Aggression, of any kind, whether directed towards humans or other animals is not a personality type, it’s a learned behavior. Most often aggression is caused by fear, which mixed with adrenaline and inappropriate education can be a recipe for danger. At Bark Busters Dakota County, Lakeville & Woodbury we firmly believe that no dog is beyond help.
If your dog exhibits any form of aggressive behavior, like resource guarding, it’s important to get the help of a professional. We can help you assess the root cause of your dog’s behavior and help you implement strategies to resolve the issues.
And, in the meantime, the most important thing you can do to help your dog is to prevent situations that may lead to aggressive behavior. Make sure your dog's basic needs are being met. Manage your dog’s exposure to problem situations. Prevention is always the best precaution.
If you’re struggling with your dog’s resource guarding, we're here to help! We have extensive experience working with dog owners to help resolve their dog's resource guarding.
Does My New Puppy Need Training?
Puppies need guidance to learn good manners and develop a pleasant nature – after all, they are very similar to infants and toddlers. They require more time and attention for housetraining, socialization, feeding, and entertainment than adult dogs – not a commitment to be taken lightly.
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when training your new puppy, but Bark Busters Dakota County, Lakeville & Woodbury can help build a basic foundation of trust and respect in a safe and nurturing environment, including crate training, potty training, and leash training your puppy.
Bark Busters Dakota County, Lakeville & Woodbury gives you everything you need to successfully train your puppy at home, including how best to deal with the many common problems that occur in the first six months like:
- Chewing
- Playful Biting
- Barking
- Food Stealing
- Digging
- Potty Training
- Separation Anxiety
Training can start a few days after your puppy has settled into their new home. Early, consistent training means establishing leadership traits that are key to managing your dog’s behavior. Ready to get started?
