Meet Brandon & Charie, Your Local Certified Dog Trainers
Dog Training & Puppy Training in Winter Garden, Windermere, Doctor Phillips & Kissimmee!
Welcome! We’re Brandon and Charie Marks, your local Bark Busters Dog Trainers and Dog Behavioral Therapists proudly serving Southwest Orlando and surrounding areas.
With over 15 years of experience, I’m Brandon Marks, and I’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of dog owners build better relationships with their dogs using the proven Bark Busters method. I specialize in working with dogs of all breeds, ages, and behavioral issues—from basic obedience to severe behavioral challenges.
My wife Charie joined our Bark Busters team in 2023, bringing more than 15 years of experience in hospitality and customer service, particularly in the travel industry. She has a natural gift for connecting with people and dogs alike. Charie is not only an incredible trainer but also a devoted mom to our son, Teddy, and our three rescue dogs—Carlisle, Harlow, and Milo.
For many years, we owned and operated Bark Busters Chicago, helping countless families live happier lives with their dogs. Recently, we made the exciting decision to relocate to Southwest Florida to raise our family in Charie’s hometown. We’re thrilled to continue our passion for dog training in a community that means so much to us.
We look forward to helping you “speak dog” and creating a happier, more peaceful life with your furry companion.
Let us help you transform your dog’s behavior and strengthen your bond—right in the comfort of your home. Reach out today for your custom evaluation.
