About Holly Denton

As a former Bark Busters client, I experienced firsthand the transformative power of their dog training methods. Seeing how my own relationship with my dog improved after training with Bark Busters ignited my passion to become a dog trainer and behavioral therapist myself. After years of intensive training in Denver, CO, I am excited to now bring my skills to Atlanta.

With over 25 years of experience teaching and coaching leadership—whether in finance, investments, or canine behavior—I’m thrilled to continue helping people become confident leaders in their relationships with their dogs. Guiding families the Bark Busters way allows me to create lasting change and strengthen the bond between dogs and their owners.

About Bill Cypert

For as long as I can remember, dogs have been a central part of my life. Growing up, my German Shepherd, Tiger, was more than just a pet—he was my best friend. After serving in Iraq with the Navy, my Golden Doodle, River, greeted me when I returned home, offering comfort and companionship during my transition back to civilian life. Now, my Labrador has become an integral part of my world.

Professionally, I've spent the last 20 years dedicated to helping others. Along the way, I've had the privilege of writing two best-selling books and speaking at international conferences, but what has always mattered most is making a positive difference in people's lives. Change is inevitable, and our success often depends on how we adapt and grow. Interestingly, this concept applies to our relationships with our dogs as well.

About Roy Denton

Roy has grown up with Bark Busters as the son of a trainer, experiencing the methods and philosophy from a young age. After working for five years as a residential contractor in Denver, Colorado, where he grew up, Roy decided to follow in his mother’s footsteps and join his parents in Georgia.

His true passion is helping families and dogs build strong, lasting bonds. By combining his real-world work ethic with Bark Busters’ proven training methods, Roy brings energy, empathy, and dedication to every client he serves.

Dog Training Reviews & Testimonials

Hired Holly for our 2 Golden Retrievers who were hyperactive, constantly pulling on their leashes on walks, and with a new baby on the way, we knew we had to get some help and we were at our wit's end! SO amazed by Holly and the Bark Busters way- just after the first lesson it was like a 180 switch in the dogs behavior. We feel confident in leading our dogs in our "pack" now and feel equipped with the skills Holly has taught us! Highly recommend!

I really like Bark Busters training techniques and the fact that they will come to your house was very important for us. We are seeing a vast improvement in our Golden’s behavior everyday. Holly is so good with the dogs and us 2 legged dogs as well.

Holly and Bill did an excellent job with training us on how to communicate with our dogs. Bailey was standoffish and scared of everyone before the training and after 2 weeks Bailey quickly warms up to our visitors. She is very good about minding us and can now be off leash while I garden on our unfenced property.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with BarkBusters! Holly has been extremely effective in addressing the issues we were having with our two dogs. From the very first session, we noticed a significant improvement in their behavior. The methods used are gentle, easy to understand, and really work. Our dogs are now calmer, better behaved, and more responsive to our leadership. We are so grateful for the guidance and support — it’s truly made a huge difference in our home. Highly recommend BarkBusters to anyone looking for real, lasting results!

I am overall very happy to have chosen Bark Busters to train my pets! My pets struggle a lot with excessive barking, and jumping. They came today and my dogs can be stress free in their own home. I’m so happy with the end results and I love how they are strictly about learning the dogs behavior and communicating with them. Another thing I might add is I do love how they do not use any type of treats. I’m trying to avoid treats for my pets and they didn’t even mention treats. I’m so happy with today’s lesson and I definitely recommend to anybody else looking for a dog trainer!

I am thrilled to share my wonderful experience with Holly from Bark Busters! Bringing my new rescue dog, Millie, home was exciting. Holly's in-home training session has been invaluable in helping Millie adjust and thrive in our home.

I was particularly impressed with Holly's commitment to positive reinforcement techniques. It was important to me that Millie's training be gentle, encouraging, and focused on building a positive relationship based on trust. Holly's approach aligned perfectly with my values.

Millie has made impressive strides with recall after one session, thanks to Holly's expert guidance. Additionally, the potty training tips Holly shared were so helpful! What impressed me most was Holly's vast knowledge and ability to demonstrate a real transformation in Millie's behavior after just one session. It was truly remarkable to witness.

Holly didn't just train Millie; she also equipped me with the knowledge and tools to communicate effectively with my dog. I now feel confident in my ability to continue reinforcing positive behaviors and addressing any challenges that may arise. If you're looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and effective dog trainer, I highly recommend Holly from Bark Busters.

Bill and Holly exceeded all of our expectations. Our dog, Finn, had behavioral problems that we couldn’t fix on our own, but after working with them, we saw a major shift in Finn’s behavior. They taught us how to address his issues with love and respect. We are beyond pleased with the results!

If you’re looking for dog trainers, Bill and Holly are the best! Our dog, Gus, had severe pulling issues on the leash, and after just a few sessions with them, Gus now walks calmly and listens to commands. Their training methods are clear, easy to implement, and most importantly, they’re effective. Highly recommend!

We had a great experience working with Bill and Holly. Our dog, Milo, was overly excited around strangers and would act out. After working with them, Milo became much more well-behaved. They taught us how to communicate better with Milo, and the changes were incredible. Can’t thank them enough!

I honestly can’t believe the change in our dog, Daisy, after working with Bill and Holly. Daisy was fearful, nervous, and had separation anxiety. They took the time to understand her and provided us with easy-to-follow steps. Now Daisy is more relaxed and content. We owe so much to them!

Before we met Bill, our dog was out of control—chewing furniture, barking non-stop, and not responding to commands. After just a few sessions, he was calmer, more focused, and more obedient. Bill is kind, patient, and truly cares about your dog’s well-being. We are so happy we found Bark Busters!

Working with Bill and Holly was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my dog, Charlie. He had issues with separation anxiety and destructive behavior when left alone, but Bill and Holly worked with him (and me) to build a routine that has completely changed his behavior. They were so patient and understanding, and they made the whole process enjoyable. I am a more confident as dog owners now and Charlie is much happier! Thank you so much, Bill and Holly — you're the best!

I was at my wit’s end with our dog, Lucy, who had been jumping up on guests and having issues with barking. Holly immediately put us at ease with her friendly, professional demeanor. She explained everything clearly and worked with Lucy in a way that made her feel safe while teaching her better behaviors. We’re now able to have guests over without worrying about the chaos. I can’t recommend Holly enough. She truly knows what she is doing!

We’ve seen a huge transformation in Bella’s behavior, and we’re now able to enjoy stress-free walks and playtime!
