    Sharon really knows her stuff. I felt so discouraged with my new rescue and she has helped immensely. Training is not done with my pup yet, she has a little ways to go, but I know Sharon will be there to help every step of the way. It is great to be able to reach out and get tips in between in person training sessions.

    I have been a client of Sharon's at Bark Busters for a couple years. She is worth every penny! My dog Lacey had severe separation anxiety, fear based aggression, as well as other issues. There is not a single thing that Sharon has taught me to do that has not worked when I practice and do it correctly. She is always available for questions and free follow up training.

    Sharon was absolutely the best for our little Sadie. Sadie found us after spending several months in the humane society and another shelter before. It was love at first sight. She was the missing piece for me and my husband.

    Once we got home we noticed although Sadie is very smart she had a few manners to learn to help me feel more at home. We reached out to Sharon after a recommendation from our vet tech. We did our initial phone consultation and I immediately knew it was going to be a good fit.

    The day of our first training session came and we learned so many new things in terms of how we help our Sadie to understand she does not have to be our packs leader, me and my husband will take care of those things.

    We worked on some leash walking and she was really catching on quickly our little Sadie is so smart! After our initial training when we went on a walk that evening she did so well. Remembering some of the new rules that mom and dad will lead the walk.

    Training your pet is never cheap or easy. In this case you’re not just training your pet but yourself to allow them to relax. My husband and I are so happy with every penny spent helping our Sadie be able to relax and just follow along. We can’t wait to continue doing our homework and schedule follow up visits as needed. Thank you so much Sharon for helping us set our Sadie up for success.

    Our experience working with Sharon has been exceptional. Using the methods she taught us in our 1st session we were able to see results immediately. Sharon gave us exercises to work on daily. We are also able to communicate with her at any time in between sessions with any questions we may have. The methods taught to us by Sharon are not harsh and are based on proven methods. We are starting to enjoy a calmer, well behaved dog thanks to Sharon. Excellent program!!!

    I adopted my dog from a rescue, and from day one, she was anxious and scared. I spent countless hours watching YouTube videos and reading online resources, trying to help her, especially with leash walking. Despite my efforts, walks were always a struggle—until I met Sharon from Bark Busters Pinellas.

    Our first session was a game-changer. For the very first time, my dog walked calmly beside me. I honestly couldn’t believe it. Sharon’s approach is simple, effective, and most importantly, tailored to my dog’s comfort by working in our home environment. That made all the difference.

    What truly sold me was not just the immediate results, but the lifetime support the program offers. Knowing I can reach out for help at any point in my dog’s life is invaluable. I’m beyond excited to continue applying the tools and training Sharon provided to make every walk a positive experience.

    If you're struggling or just want a better connection with your dog, I can’t recommend Sharon and Bark Busters enough!

    We all had a great time and learned a ton! We've seen an immediate change in Blu and it look forward to continuing the lessons Sharon taught us.

    Sharon did an outstanding job with our toy poodle Franny and mini labradoodle Lola! Franny has terrible separation anxiety and Lola barks at every unfamiliar animal/person she sees. Both showed improvements within the first HOUR of training. Sharon was thorough, provided extensive education and written notes, and is extremely passionate about helping you and your dogs! I would HIGHLY recommend Sharon. Thanks again!!!

    I recently had the pleasure of working with Sharon from Bark Busters Pinellas County to address my dog's behavioral issues, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. From the moment she entered our home, Sharon's expertise and calm demeanor were evident. She took the time to understand our specific concerns and tailored the training to our dog's unique needs.​

    One of the most impressive aspects of Sharon's approach is her emphasis on communication and respect, rather than relying on treats or physical corrections. This method not only led to immediate improvements but also strengthened the bond between us and our furry friend. For instance, within the first session, our dog stopped jumping on guests and began walking calmly on a leash—a transformation we hadn't thought possible so quickly.​

    Sharon's dedication didn't stop after the initial visit. She provided us with the tools and knowledge to continue reinforcing positive behaviors and made herself available for any follow-up questions. Her commitment to ensuring long-term success is truly commendable.​

    We are a week into our training and our dog continues to improve.

    I highly recommend Bark Busters Pinellas County to any dog owner seeking effective, compassionate, and lasting training solutions. Our home is now a more peaceful and happy place, thanks to Sharon's guidance.

    Sharon helped us train our 2 1/2 year old stubborn French bulldog with a list of behaviors we needed help with correcting. Leo showed improvement on our first session. Sharon taught us how to teach our dog Leo to stop leashing pulling, jumping on us, and stop stealing things around the house. Sharon gave us dog-friendly correction techniques that don't include treat training, which was essential to us as we did not want him to rely on treats for good behavior. After 2 weeks of us applying the training, we reached out to Sharon for another session to work on Leo in a Public park to correct jumping on strangers and greeting other dogs appropriately, and she responded quickly and was able to get us on her schedule the same day with no problems. We highly recommend Sharon as we are delighted to see a huge difference in his behaviors over the past few weeks we have been working with her, so that we can take Leo out more often without him becoming overexerted and jumping on everyone and not stealing everything we drop or shoes left out. Her sessions are worth every penny and the peace of mind that we can get as many training sessions as needed if we need more guidance.
