meet your specialist trainer Marsha Engel
Bark Busters Home Dog Training National Capital, Washington DC, Silver Spring MD, Bethesda area
We are pretty amazed at the results after our first lesson with Marsha Engel. Before this, our dogs were in charge of our house and we struggled to get them to behave. From constant barking in and out of the crate, charging at the front door and jumping all over people, destroying doors, and other things around the house and occasional fighting. Marsha was patient and did an incredible job in teaching us to “speak dog” and properly communicate with our dogs so that they know we are in charge and the leaders. They now comply with what we want and see an incredible difference in our dogs. Our house is now calm and pleasant to be in! We were skeptical about Bark Busters but I am now telling all my friends who are dog owners to try them!Randy A.January 18 2018

The dog training method of Bark Busters was developed in Australia to reduce the number of dogs euthanized or surrendered to animal shelters. It was the success of this dog training methodology that grew into the international company of Bark Busters today. Without this basis, we could not be the world's largest dog training organization.
Why home dog training? Because dogs learn best when they can completely focus on the owner in an environment that is quiet and free of distractions, and where the dog behavior issues that are causing concern can be recreated and addressed. Being in a familiar environment where there's nothing competing for your dog's attention enables us to address the dog obedience issues very quickly. In fact, it's very common for clients to see results with dog behavioral issues in the first 20 minutes! Our private and personalized dog training lessons help you and your dog overcome the challenges of your specific living environment.
Bark Busters doesn't use harsh techniques or bribe with food to extort good behavior. We engage dogs in using their minds - communicating with them on a level that they understand, using the natural dynamics of pack law. Our goal is voice control and clear body language.
The best part is -- our dog obedience training techniques are proven! It's the reason we're able to offer our Life of the Dog Guarantee.
We have the knowledge and the skills to diagnose any dog, any age and any issue - even complicated canine behaviors.
A bit about me.
I have worked with dogs my entire life, and always knew that I wanted to spend
my second career working as a dog behavior therapist in the area surrounding
the Nation's capital. I worked with several dog trainers before becoming
familiar with Bark Busters. I have a graduate degree in clinical psychology and
worked with changing human behavior in my first career lasting over twenty
years. I've volunteered since childhood with rescue, service, training, and
shelter organizations, and am currently am the leader of a pack of five dogs
(plus a cat), along with taking in foster dogs.
I became acquainted with Bark Busters in 2005 when a good friend became a customer and his dogs immediately changed for the better. He tried to explain to me what the dog training lesson had shown him, but I had to experience it for myself to really understand. I have never been so impressed with a dog training system as I am with Bark Busters. I feel fortunate to be in a position to help improve the relationship between owners and dogs working with the world's premier dog training company, and to contribute toward making the families I work with happier ones.
Feel free to call me to learn how to train your dog and to answer your questions and l'll help you decide that Bark Busters is truly the most remarkable dog training company in the world!

how we can help you and your dog

We teach you to communicate with your pet.
Blah, blah, blah, bad dog! blah blah. Do you think your dog isn't listening to you? Maybe you're simply not speaking his language. You may have heard of dog whisperer or dog listener techniques. The Bark Busters dog training method is based on the way dogs communicate with each other and how they learn from older, more important dogs in the pack. This is what makes our dog training unique and effective.
Why do we train in your home?
Your dog lives with a family, in a home. This is where he misbehaves most often so this is where training is most effective. Dogs learn by association. Bark Busters teaches your dog to listen in the home environment. If he does not listen at home, he will not listen outside your territory.
Training in your home is a one-on-one system without the distraction of other dogs or the stress of being sent away for training.
Of course, where you are experiencing problems outside the home such as pulling on the lead or dog aggression, we will set up controlled training situations in the park or wherever is most practical.
The Bark Busters worldwide home dog training service guarantee is unique in the industry. It is designed to help owners resolve their dog's behavior and obedience problems and to provide customers with the satisfaction of ongoing support and peace of mind.
