Sharon is excellent, and we would absolutely recommend her services to others. We reached out to her for assistance with our six-month-old golden retriever. Sharon is very responsive, thorough, patient, and kind, and she explains the rationale behind dog behaviors. She taught us how to communicate with our puppy in a way she would understand. Additionally, there are no fear-based tactics and you do not have to rely on treats to correct behavior. Sharon remains flexible and available for ongoing needs and provides several supplemental materials for ongoing reminders. We saw immediate improvements in our ability to communicate with our puppy and in our puppy’s behaviors after the first meeting. Another big perk is that the training can be ongoing (if needed) for the life of the dog. I am so thankful that we found Sharon!
We’ve only had the one session so far with SHARON for our SANDY and she’s done a great job training ME to be more consistent with direction with clear body language to take back my role as the ALPHA. Only one day of using her techniques and already SANDY is not testing ME, As an adolescent English Cream Golden Retriever, he’s looking to ME for direction 👍🎉 Thank SHARON.
Sharon is great! She helped SO much within one session and taught me a whole lot about dog language! I would recommend to anyone especially new dog owners because she will teach you everything you need to know.
Sharon has been absolutely amazing with our cockapoo! From the first session, she gave us clear, practical strategies that immediately worked. She is patient, professional, and truly understands dog behavior. Our pup has made huge progress thanks to her guidance, and we feel so much more confident as owners. Sharon not only trained our dog but also taught us how to communicate better with him, which has made such a difference in our daily lives. We are so grateful for her help and highly recommend her to anyone looking for effective, compassionate training!
Highly recommend! Sharon is absolutely amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable and warm in her approach. She is non-judgmental and meets you (and your pup) where you are. We have a whole new perspective on what "training" means. She shows you how to set (or reset) hierarchy in the household so that you are the leader of the pack and can set boundaries for your dog in their own language. Its amazing how much of a difference just the first session can make for behavior and mindset. Our puppy is a 7-month-old bernedoodle and this was the perfect time to start working with Sharon before any unwanted behaviors start to become more regular. The other major selling point for us was the lifetime support guarantee. The fact that we can work with Sharon on our own schedule for the rest of our pup's life gives us a huge sense of security no matter what life throws at us.
Sharon has shown me in one day what I’ve been trying to accomplish for years. I am absolutely thrilled with what I witnessed today. I have two reactive dogs with separation anxiety and one that lacks boundaries and is incredibly energetic. When people walk by with or without dogs, Gunnar goes nuts, and I was struggling to control the situation and feeling so frustrated. Today I watched him engage and disengage almost instantly as a neighbor walked his dogs by my window. And I watched him respond to the correction multiple times in our session. I also watched my older, reactive dog Riley walk past a plush dog that he first barked and lunged at. With guidance from Bark Buster’s trainer, he calmly walked past without even showing interest in the dog. We also addressed leash pulling. Gunnar is the type of dog who would choke himself to go on a walk and I had tried almost everything to make it stop. Nothing worked until today. I watched my dog slow down, check in with me, and walk behind me instead of pulling me. Sharon taught me things I never would have thought of when training a dog. There’s no use of harsh collars or punishments. I truly believe with our continued practice of these techniques and use of tools that my dogs will become confident, comfortable, less reactive, and less anxious. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Thanks to Bark Busters, I now have what I need to help my dogs live a happier life.
We have a New Leash on life! After our 1st session with Sharon, we are confident we are on the road to easing the severe separation anxiety our Sparky has. He came to us in January after being rescued from Helene and losing his mom. We love him so much, and wanted to help him be happy when we aren't home. We tried everything, we thought, then called Bark Busters. We know it will take time, but we feel sure we now have the tools needed to speak Dog language. I'll update in 2 months, but he was so responsive today, it was really remarkable. We highly recommend Sharon.
Sharon can teach an old dog, new tricks! I just moved to Florida and my poor rescue 11-year-old Shih-Tzu was struggling. Sharon responded to my inquiry and fit me into her schedule right away. She spent three hours with me and I couldn’t believe how fast her dog-friendly training improved his behaviors. She is so experienced and amazing with dogs, truly speaking their language. He had immediate improvements in reducing fear, reactivity, barking and separation anxiety. I highly recommend Sharon for all dogs even older ones. Thank you Sharon!
Our session with Sharon was amazing! The change in our puppy’s behavior feels miraculous but the secret was training me, not the dog. :) I highly recommend Sharon. She was patient and thoughtful. She was easy to work with and full of insight. I love seeing someone love their job, and you can tell she does. Thank you! Our home is much more peaceful and quiet now that our puppy doesn’t think she has to protect us from every single shadow or noise.
I had my first session with Sharon today and she is beyond phenomenal! I got a mini dachshund puppy, Nash, who is 11 weeks old and have struggled with housebreaking and separation anxiety. I was shocked at how well and fast my little pup responded so quickly to Sharon’s behavior and training. She teaches how to “speak dog” using certain movements and tones and it was remarkable how responsive Nash was right from the start. I finally feel motivated and optimistic that his training is off to such a great start! I couldn’t recommend Sharon enough to anyone seeking that extra help and guidance when it comes to their pup! 10 stars if I could give it!
