Bark Busters Dog Training Services in Eden Prairie, Plymouth, Maple Grove & Minnetonka
Home Dog Training
We provide personalized, in-home dog training in Eden Prairie, Plymouth, Maple Grove & Minnetonka tailored to your dog’s unique needs. We work with you where behavior happens—at home—building lasting obedience, reducing stress, and strengthening communication.
Separation Anxiety Training
Separation anxiety often comes from unclear leadership or unmet needs. We address the root cause by understanding your dog’s environment, behavior, and relationship with their owner to restore balance and confidence.
Aggression Training
Dog aggression often stems from fear, uncertainty, or unclear boundaries, not personality. Understanding the cause of your dog’s aggression is the first step to a safe and calm home. Bark Busters Eden Prairie can help.
Puppy Training
Our puppy training builds trust, respect, and positive habits from the start. We guide you through crate, potty, and leash training, addressing nipping, chewing, and barking to set the foundation for lifelong obedience.
Stop Excessive Barking
Excessive barking often signals stress, anxiety, or confusion. Bark Busters in Eden Prairie helps you correct barking from the root cause with dog barking training that uses body language and voice tones dogs understand.
Severe Dog Behavior Issues
We specialize in resolving issues like aggression, separation anxiety, sibling rivalry and more in Eden Prairie, Plymouth, Maple Grove & Minnetonka. Our canine behavioral training will help you, and your dog, achieve lasting results.
Meet Michael & Lydia, Your Local Certified Dog Trainers
Home Dog Training in Eden Prairie!
We are Michael and Lydia O’Leary, Dog Behavioral Therapists and Dog Trainers for Bark Busters Home Dog Training in Eden Prairie, Plymouth, Maple Grove, Minnetonka and surrounding communities.
Let us introduce ourselves and tell you a little bit about our story. My name is Michael O’Leary. I was raised in Eden Prairie and am a proud St. John’s University graduate. My wife, Lydia grew up in Sauk Rapids, MN and graduated from St. Cloud State University.
We found the Bark Busters method after trying countless other training methods with our dog, Raleigh. Like some of our clients, we had a dog that pulled nonstop on leash, jumped on everyone at the front door, and had a difficult time listening when she was too excited. We knew we needed to get her anxious behavior under control before we grew our family. After seeing the results with our own dog, we couldn’t wait to get involved to help others.
Our dog training system is based on natural canine communication which dramatically increases the pace of learning without using harsh or painful methods. We love helping our clients learn how to communicate effectively with their dogs in a natural way that builds a stronger bond, trust, and respect.
I am also certified with the American Kennel Club as a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, which allows us to support clients who want to take their dog’s training to the next level.
Bark Busters trainers have worked with more than a million dogs and their dedicated owners. We would love to learn more about your needs and goals for your dog and family.

FAQs Answered by Your Eden Prairie Dog Trainers
When you contact Bark Busters Eden Prairie, we'll schedule a private, one-on-one training session in your home at a time that's convenient for you. During our first visit, we'll take the time to understand your dog, your family, and the specific behavior challenges you'd like to address. Then we'll teach you practical communication techniques that your dog naturally understands.
There are no group classes, no board-and-train programs, and no need to take your dog anywhere. Training happens in your home, where your dog is most comfortable and where unwanted behaviors actually occur.
Most Eden Prairie families see noticeable improvements in their dog's behavior during the very first training session. Lasting results, however, come from consistent follow-through at home.
Our goal is to provide clear, practical dog training guidance that fits easily into your daily routine. You'll learn simple exercises and communication techniques you can use every day to reinforce good behavior. The more consistently you apply the training, the faster you'll see reliable, long-term results.
We work with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments throughout Eden Prairie, helping families resolve a wide range of behavior challenges, including:
- Leash pulling
- Jumping on guests and family members
- Excessive barking
- Reactivity toward people or other dogs
- Aggression issues, including fear-based aggression, territorial behavior, resource guarding, and dog-to-dog aggression
- Separation anxiety
- Conflict between household dogs
- Destructive chewing and other unwanted behaviors
- Poor door manners
- House training and potty accidents
- Recall and listening issues
If your dog's behavior is causing frustration or making everyday life more stressful, there's a good chance we've helped other Eden Prairie families overcome the same challenge.
