Best Dog Training in Salt Lake City!

Welcome. Meet Kevin Gonzalez your Bark Busters Dog Trainer and Dog Behavioral Therapist in Salt Lake City. Kevin joined our team from Puerto Rico with strong enthusiasm and a lifetime love of dogs. Coming from an island abundant with nature, he has been involved with animals, especially dogs since an early age. Kevin’s favorite companion is a healthy and happy 11-year-old Miniature Schnauzer named Luna. Kevin has followed in the footsteps of his sister, Karina, who is an accomplished Bark Busters trainer in Los Angeles. He has vast experience with all types of dogs and situations much of which comes from working with the best dog trainers and dog behavioral therapists in several different markets. After visiting Salt Lake City and meeting its great people, he fell in love with the city. Being an adventurist and extrovert who loves the outdoors, he felt right at home in the SLC community.

Kevin joined Bark Busters and has established himself as a local advocate for all dogs and families in search of a professional dog trainer and dog behavioral specialist. Kevin’s understanding of dog behavior, dog communication, and his education as a Master Dog Trainer make him the ideal choice for Salt Lake City residents who need help with any dog behavioral issues.

For more than 30 years, Bark Busters has trained more than one million dogs around the world using our natural dog training methods that are humane and effective. Now we are offering home dog training in Greater Salt Lake City. Let us help you live a happier life together with your dog!

We clear up the miscommunication between dogs and humans - which is typically the root of many dog behavioral issues - by teaching everyone to speak the same language – dog! Our dog training methodology is built on leadership, respect, and trust.

Salt Lake City Client Reviews

See what our clients have to say

I’ll start by saying we noticed a change in our dog’s behavior within THE FIRST HOUR of training with Kevin.

We haven’t had much success with other trainers or programs in the past and we wanted to focus on correcting behaviors like barking, jumping and recall with our 5 year old Amstaff mixes. We now have a 10 month old baby and solidifying training for both our dogs has become even more important.

It has been 2 days since our first training with Kevin and we went from having dogs who bark at the garage and jump all over you when you walk through the door, to two perfectly behaved angels who sit patiently in the kitchen, let us enter our home without jumping, and wait patiently for us to call them over for pets and kisses. This training program is 100% worth it and Bark Busters will always have our business!
We had a great afternoon with Kevin Saturday. We learned so much about how to train our dogs. He was so much fun and answered every question. Best of all we had a quiet night for the first time in months. Kudos to Kevin. Wise family!
Kevin was fantastic ! We are already seeing improvements with Macie after a single session. I feel confident she is well on her way to feeling less anxious and more trusting of our leadership.

Kevin was very attentive with our dogs and helped me address all concerns. He was very calm and kind with my dogs and I feel better equipped to train them in a practical way. Thank you !
Kevin was amazing! We are already seeing incredible results. Nacho is barking less and listening more! We’re so grateful for the skills we’ve learned from Kevin. Plus he’s an amazing teacher!
Kevin was very nice to work with. He showed us how to “speak dog,” which our two adolescent/young adult dogs responded to. After our first lesson, it is now delightful to walk the dogs (separately) without pulling - a night and day difference with Bex. We will need to work on walking them together on our second lesson! Looking forward to it!
Kevin was excellent. He was knowledgeable and easy to work with. We just hope Poppi responds as well to us as she did him. We learned a lot and need to keep up with the exercises.
This session opened our eyes to understand our dogs’ behavior and to implement corrective measures that our dogs understand, too. We saw an immediate change by the time the session was over. Our dogs are more settled now. We haven’t experienced the barking the dogs were doing after this first session. We are amazed!
Kevin was remarkable! He addressed all of our needs in our first lesson and gave us a list of daily homework. Charlie is learning quickly and so are we!!!
Pummbaa and Nala are very anxious, high energy dogs and I had no Idea how to establish myself as their leader but these exercises are effective and humane and I know they'll be great companions.
Our dogs are already behaving so well after only our first session. We are feeling so hopeful for the future with our dogs.
This was eye opening and very helpful, I'm very pleased because I now have the tools that will give me confidence that my dogs and I can move forward without the fear the aggression will escalate.
This was the very best first training session ever for our dogs. We loved the positive responses without shock collars, etc. Kevin explained everything so well, he was awesome ! We are so happy with this program.
I am very impressed with the expertise of Sr. Gonzalez, has shown today.
I saw a noticeable difference from our first session, which is amazing. I'm very excited to implement the tools we learned.
Outstanding ! It's helped me relief and knowing that I bond with our dogs to another level.
Kevin was able to answer all of our question regarding our dog's behavior. We saw noticeable improvement in all 3 dogs during just our first lesson.
Before today, my dog didn't see me as an authoritative figure and didn't know how to listen or obey me. I finally feel like I have a handle on the situation and that there is strong hope for the future.
Oh my gosh! Kevin was absolutely fantastic!!! I couldn’t believe how much we learned and our dogs after one lesson. It was amazing to see how much our dogs listened and responded with your techniques.Kevin was truly the Best!!!
When Kevin got our home our dogs reacted like they usually do, jumping, barking, and whining. By the end the acted totally calm and respectful. They were different dogs in their demeanor.
We made a lot of progress in our lesson today, learning how to guide and educate both dogs for any unwanted behavior. Dogs have responded well to all the techniques used.
We learned how to establish strong leadership and correct inappropriate behavior with the proper tools and knowledge to give our dogs reassurance that we are in charge.
Kevin was very easy to understand explaining the training methods. We are very happy with our dogs reaction towards the methods used. We are having great results with the dogs! The barking has almost completely stopped. We just say "Bah" and all 3 dogs stop barking at the same time. We are very happy in the difference, in such a short time. Thank you so much!!!!
Kevin was amazing! Only our first lesson and he did such a good job giving us the tools we needed to train our dogs. For sure a life savor! Thanks kevin
