Our beloved mini dachshund puppy, Tilly, had been experiencing some separation anxiety as well as significant struggles with toileting. We chose home dog training with Sharon at Bark Busters because of the incredible reviews, and my word she does not disappoint. Within a day we noticed improvements in Tilly's behavior but especially our own. Sharon instructs on how to see things from the animal's perspective, to communicate in the animal's language, especially non-verbal. It is all so fascinating, effective, and efficient. I'm confident that our Tilly will continue to grow and mature into a lifelong family member. We know Sharon's expertise is available forever and could not be more grateful or satisfied. Sharon is an absolute expert in this field and a pleasure to work with. 5 stars (6 if possible) and highly recommend!
Sharon is amazing!! I reached out when I adopted a miniature golden doodle puppy. She came to the house and gave me the techniques I needed to teach my puppy. Within two days he was walking on a leash, when she left I had the tools to teach him not to jump on me constantly and to stop him from constantly biting on my pants and hands. Within 4 weeks he was completely potty trained. We are now 2 months in and I reached back out to Sharon as my now 5 month old puppy was starting to not obey when I was ready for him to come in from playing. Sharon responded the same day and came back to the house two days later. Within a matter of 10 minutes I had the techniques to get Milo to come inside when I decided it was time. No punishment and no treats just natural techniques they respond to. It is amazing to see Sharon have such control immediately and see my dog respond. I have been able to achieve the same results just by following her guidelines. I highly recommend Sharon. She is friendly, responsive and a great with dogs!
Sharon from Bark Busters has completely changed our life. We adopted our two year old Pom from a shelter and she was extremely reactive to other dogs and had a lot of behavioural issues. Sharon has provided us with invaluable information/tools to help our dog Mango with these behaviours. The change in mango has been night and day. Sharon is extremely responsive when we have questions/concerns or when we want to schedule our next session. We’ve had approximately 5 sessions with her so far and have never had difficulties scheduling another one when we need help with more behaviours. I can’t recommend Sharon enough!
We absolutely love our 5 month old Cavapoo, and we always knew the stigma behind little dogs barking, but we were not mentally prepared for just how much our little furbaby loved to talk (he gets that from his mama).
Between the puppy teething bites, sled dog walks, terrorizing the mailman, and little dog ego, we knew we needed help.
We called Sharon with BarkBusters, and she is an absolute game changer. At home training, No treats, No Tricks needed.
Our furbaby is 6lbs of fierceness, and like his dad he wants to establish dominance in everything he does, including over our 2 cats and the entire household.
In just one visit, Sharon taught us to think like a dog and how to lead the pack. Learning how to actually say NO in a language dogs understand has been groundbreaking for us. We’ve had dogs before, but we learned more in one session with Sharon than we did in a lifetime on our own. The future is so bright for our puppy Oliver, and we have Sharon and Barkbusters to thank for that!
Sharon helped me immensely to understand my dog’s communication to me and how I can communicate more clearly for my dog. She explains it clearly and thoroughly. My dog is reactive to men and Sharon’s teaching has already helped us in a short time. I know it will only get better as we continue.
I highly recommend Bark Busters!!! Sharon was amazing, training us! Cody went along with it too. One session & just a few tweaks & he’s almost there. We’re working every day to get him feeling safe with us. Thank you, Sharon!
We love Sharon!
After Sharon Kondash was recommended to us by several trusted sources, we asked her to come help us with our little Staffie who had shown some aggression toward other dogs and failure to recall. We already had a well-behaved, but sensitive black lab mix. Sharon was so patient and effective! She spent hours with us talking about canine psychology and how it relates to fast training results. We worked with the dogs on the first visit, both at home, walking around the neighborhood, and at unfamiliar locations so we encountered another dog. The first day of training made an IMMEDIATE, huge difference; we were both shocked and thrilled. The black lab was incorporated into the training too. She talked plainly with us and was realistic about interventions we would and would not be able to make for the dogs. She was awesome! We've seen lasting effects with our Staffie, and we plan on having our second session soon to follow up on our homework. Thanks Bark Busters!
This experience has been like magic! I moved to a new home in St Pete, Florida and my dog, Maple, was having trouble adjusting. It was making my life miserable. She would refuse to walk and would bark like crazy at other dogs. She was so upset every time I left her at home. I did not know hat I was going to do. I know I can have more lessons for no re-visit charge, but in just one 3 hour session, our trainer, Sharon Kondash taught me how to "speak dog" and techniques that literally changed EVERYTHING! My Maple now feels so safe and now we can go on long enjoyable walks. This was worth every penny!!!! Thank you Sharon and Bark Busters. Thanks from me and thanks from Maple.
What a lifesaver Sharon and Bark Busters have been helping us with our wheaten terrier. We contacted Sharon to assist us with Webster. He had separation anxiety, crate anxiety, reactivity with other dogs, was bad on leash and more! Sharon was professional and made us feel confident in working with our pup. The improvement at home and around our home was amazing! Then after a few months we reached out to her again to get more help in public. She met us at a park and demonstrated techniques in real time with real dogs nearby. It was a real confidence booster to see my dog get it right. We learned what to practice as she coached us with her informative and kind demeanor. We were able to implement her suggestions and get results immediately. Thank you Sharon!
Sharon first came in April and helped me w new puppy. Being a senior citizen, I was a little unsure about caring for a lively Puppy. I learned so much on our first session!!! I called a few months later to discuss walking concerns and she gave me very helpful advice on the phone which resolved my concerns. Then she visited w me yesterday within hours of telling her I had a new problem w my dog's behavior. We walked in the pet store and practiced socialization for over an hour.
Sharon showed me what to do, she connected w my Blu and made me feel confident that my 9 month old puppy is a good dog.
I am grateful for her wisdom and patience, she cared.
It is reassuring to know that I have someone to call if I have worries about my pups behavior.
I like Bark Busters and Sharon Kondash
