Home Dog Training Washington DC, Silver Spring MD, Bethesda
Best Dog Training Washington DC, Silver Spring MD, Bethesda areas
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!
My dog was aggressive to other dogs and would lunge and snarl on walks when we passed other dogs. He is now attentive to me and doesn't notice or react to other dogs, or cars or bikes! Our walks are much more pleasant!
