Bark Busters’ in home training has been tremendously effective in helping us manage our seven year old dog’s separation anxiety. We now understand the reasons for Sophie’s barking, and can better manage and anticipate situations that trigger her fear. Natalie is extremely personable and professional, and she has been spot-on in identifying problem issues with our Cavachon.
She is firm and direct, yet compassionate and warm. We are so grateful for how Natalie has helped us have Sophie greet people at the door, and greet other dogs on our walks. Reintroducing the crate also did a lot to help Sophie settle into her own space of comfort.
We recommend Bark Busters without reservation, and wish we had known enough to seek their help much sooner!
I can’t say enough good things about Bark Busters and the incredible impact it’s had on my 2.5-year-old rescue dog, Copper. He’s a sweet boy but came to us with some behavior issues and a clear lack of confidence. Since working with Natalie, the transformation has been amazing Copper is becoming more confident, calm, and happy by the day.
One of the biggest changes has been his barking. It used to be really bad, especially when people came over he’d get overwhelmed and loud. Now, thanks to Natalie’s training and guidance, he’s learned how to stay calm and composed. It’s made such a difference in our home life.
This training has been worth every penny it goes far beyond anything we’ve experienced with big-box store training programs like Petco or PetSmart. Natalie’s approach is personalized, effective, and rooted in a deep understanding of dog behavior. If you’re on the fence, take it from me: this is one of the best investments you can make in your dog’s well-being and your own peace of mind.

Today was Harri and mine follow up with Natalie. I am proud of the progress that she has helped us make. Harri is quicker to quiet at the door and was less aggressive/protective. Natalie gave me new homework for us and I am so excited for more improvement! Thank you Natalie
Natalie, our trainer, is wonderful. She is highly competent and very effective. Our Snoopy is a rescue, and he was pretty difficult at first. To give him every chance we called Bark Busters. Im extremely happy because she taught Snoopy how to be good by teaching us how to understand him. VERY effective!
We have had a fantastic experience working with Natalie from bark busters. We have had only two sessions with Natalie so far with our two mini golden doodles & are very pleased with the techniques and the results that we have been shown to use with the dogs. After the very first session, we were able to use the techniques that Natalie demonstrated, to gain control of our front door again! The dogs are no longer jumping on our friends when they enter our house! We are also successfully working on proper leash control, as our boys are now three years old and never properly walked on the leash. Again, after only two sessions, I already feel more confident handling the dogs out in public on walks and believe that the dogs are becoming quickly aware that they are no longer in charge in our home! Natalie was sure to Schedule the next visit the first time she came to our house, and scheduled a follow up visit immediately at the end of our second session. I highly recommend Natalie with Bark Busters, Annapolis area & we look forward to continuing our visits in the future! Thank you Natalie for making our lives less stressful & helping us enjoy our dogs more!!! ~ Angela K.

Natalie has completely changed the game when it comes to puppy training. Skipper is walking well, learning not to jump, and overall learning commands so quickly. We love how she’s tailored the style to us and makes it a positive experience all around!!
Natalie with Bark Busters is terrific to work with and has made a huge difference in only 2 visits. She very helpfully explained the reasoning behind some of his behaviors and showed us how to immediately make a correction. Not only have we seen a difference in Blayze, but our confidence and comfort levels have improved as well. Highly recommend Natalie as well as Bark Busters as a company - they stand behind their lifetime guarantee.
Natalie is doing a fantastic job helping us get our dog into shape!! He’s been a bit of a pickle from the perspective of not listening to mom and daddy, not walking on the leash the way we want him to when we’re out and doing a little more barking than he should. We really appreciate Natalie‘s experience and expertise in helping us manage him much better. He’s back to being more of a dog and less of a super guardian and we really like that! Thank you, Natalie.
I’ve only been working with Natalie for 2 weeks but the change in my dog and myself even amazed me. Kinsey was a 3 yr old rescue that lived in a barn by herself so she pretty much took care of herself and had no need for me to tell her what was right or wrong and I guess I allowed it - no more after Natalie arrived. I’ve taken back my house and now she listens to me when I give commands. She’s a very smart dog but can be very obstinate but that behavior is slowly but surely changing. I would highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a dog trainer- she doesn’t train your dog, she trains you to train your dog!
Natalie came into our home and changed our lives! My husband and I haven’t raised a puppy in 20 years, so we forgot a lot about the basics. Our 4 month old Cavapoo, Obie, loves Natalie, and has responded perfectly to everything she has taught us. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending her and Bark Busters to anyone!
