    Sharon is fantastic. We found ourselves in a frustrating time with our puppy and Sharon, and her team was great. From our super thorough intake call to getting an appointment super fast, she addressed all of our concerns with understanding and immediately put our puppy and us at ease. She checked in, is reachable, and we can already see the difference, not just in our pup but in us as well. She trains both the humans and the dogs and showed us how to have a better dog. We have tried other trainers and methods, with limited success, which caused more frustration, yet her approach has made a difference almost immediately. Highly recommend!

    Helpful, professional and educational! Sharon came to our home, spent three hours teaching us how to communicate with our dog. After just one visit we have seen a great amount of progress.

    Sharon is an amazing trainer! She is so patient and kind (with me and my dog). Our dog went from being very aggressive toward new people and guests to being so sweet and willing to meet them! They will meet you at your house or any place you would like to train. I think it is very important to train in real settings, not a false setting like a facility. The results are fantastic! Highly recommend to ease tensions and reduce stress with an ill-behaved pup!

    We had a great experience with our trainer, Sharon! Our 5-month-old toy poodle, Jax, has made huge progress with potty training, leash walking, and adjusting to our home. She was patient, knowledgeable, and especially wonderful including my 7-year-old daughter, Millie, in the process. It made such a difference for our whole family. Highly recommend Sharon and Bark Busters!

    Hello! I have been working with Sharon for about a year now. My dog has been dealing with fear, anxiety, and reactviity around others and overreacting to stimuli. Sharon has helped me understand how I can make my dog feel safer, calmer and micro dose my dog to have better interactions. Using her guidance over several sessions in various settings including in and around my home and in public, I have seen improvement that has made it easier for me to have control over my life and allowed me to move to my dream location with far less concern for my dog's mental health. Sharon has done quite a few follow-up sessions as needed to support us in this journey. Thank you Sharon!

    We've been very pleased with Sharon at Bark Busters. This is our first puppy....in 25 years...so it's been great to relearn the do's and don'ts, especially now that we're retired and have more time...to pay attention :) Would highly recommend them as a solid INVESTMENT in making your long-term DOGGY relationship, the BEST it can be. It's great knowing we can get advice...whenever we need it.

    Sharon at Bark Busters has really helped me develop the right behaviors to bring out the best in my beautiful Bernie doodle...BAYOU. I've never really trained a puppy before, but Sharon breaks down the skills and demonstrates them so well... we get a nearly instant response. Bark Busters can help you with short-term issues...or like us...you can have her be available for the life of your dog....as their (your) needs change. It's a GREAT INVESTMENT in a well-behaved and happier fur friend.

    We have a 10 month old Shihpoo with separation anxiety. We couldn’t leave the house without her. She would yelp and cry uncontrollably. We tried crate training and watched so many videos looking for a training method that would work. One session with Sharon and we have the tools to gain some freedom. We are on day 2 and we’ve already made so much progress. We are able to better communicate with our dog and help her understand that she is safe and can relax when we leave. It pretty remarkable!!

    Sharon was so helpful and supportive in our first session and really educated us on how dogs communicate and we realized how much it makes sense and how we had work to do with our German shepherd Abby. Sharon spent 4 hours with us practicing the training and answering our questions about how to handle situations. It is very evident that Sharon loves what she does and makes you and your dog feel comfortable while you are uncomfortable because you thought you knew how to communicate with your dog. The day after training, Abby was a completely different dog on her walk. Learning you need to be the leader and she can’t walk ahead, you control stops and how to help your reactive dog when other dogs are around. I am so pleased with Abby’s progress in a day and we will continue to do our training drills each day and watch her grow. I am so glad I reached out to Sharon.
