Bark Busters Red Hills

In-Home Dog Training Greater Tallahassee!

Is your dog's bad behavior causing you and your family stress in your home? Are you struggling with your new puppy's behavior and puppy training issues such as chewing, nipping, and potty training? Does your dog pull and lunge when on walks?

I understand, and Bark Busters Home Dog Training is here to help you! Bark Busters is the worldwide leader of in-home dog training, helping over 1 million families and their dogs for more than 30 years! 

At Bark Busters, we help solve miscommunication between dogs and human owners, which is typically at the root of many dog behavioral issues. How? We teach everyone to speak in the same language – dog!  

Dogs learn to communicate with each other at birth, from their mother and siblings. When you bring your new canine companion into your human home, at any age, often poor communication is at the root of most dog behavior issues. Learn how to communicate with your dog in a language they understand using our proven dog training methods.

Our dog training methodology is built on leadership, trust, and respect. I teach you the same natural communication methods that dogs instinctively understand – all in the safe, familiar environment of your home, where dogs learn best. When prioritizing clear communication and leadership, we can address dog behaviors in the location they occur most often. This means longer-lasting and faster solutions for you and your dog.

...I was pleasantly surprised to have learned stuff about training our hyperactive Goldendoodle , Daniel, that I was not aware of before. He still has a ways to go, but I can’t believe how much hear improved just after one session. Thank you, Theresa. We’re very grateful for your help.
...She explained dog behavior in a way that made so much sense and walked us through exercises that were perfect for Theo, our Australian Shepherd. I’m excited for our follow-up to show her how much Theo has improved!
She is very well prepared and professional. She gives great lessons. My dog was already taking to the lesson before she was done with it. Would definitely recommend.
Theresa was very helpful and informative and is a great trainer
Theresa Nichols, with Bark Busters, is an amazing trainer! She has worked with both of our dogs and we saw immediate results. She really understands dogs!
We are so glad they sent Theresa to our house. She is very informative and Bark Buster Is lucky to have her she has redeemed our faith in the company because of a previous trainer. We really wanted to refund, but she has showed us that she can help us get control of Our Golden Doodle thanks so so much.
Theresa is wonderful! She is kind and patient and wonderful at instructing both pup and client. She is helping to make a hugely positive behavioral impact with my energetic labradoodle. Highly recommend!
Theresa was very helpful for us and responds super quickly to any of our questions.
Had a great time today with Theresa learning about the steps I need to implement in order to resolve my dog’s anxiety problems. I learned so much today about being the leader that my dog need.
Theresa was timely and spent a long time with me - first explaining why my dog exhibited her behaviors and then how we can go about correcting them. She was friendly and knowledgeable and walked through all the steps necessary (along with the practice that is up to us) to ensure our success. If you’re having an issue with your dog, don’t hesitate to call her.
Our Bark Buster trainer Theresa, was very organized and knowledgeable! It’s clear she is dedicated to the process and we know she will be there along our journey.
Theresa has been incredible with our anxious, smart, hyper-attentive puppy! We finally have some control over him, and he seems much more calm in general. She sat down and educated our whole family about how dogs think, how to read their body language, and how to redirect them. Our previous methods only worked at certain times and in certain ways. This is working all of the time! We sought out distractions and worked on how to stay focused. She follows up, she wants our success, and she is patient and understanding. I’m really grateful we have her as an asset in Tallahassee!
We have been working with Theresa and Bark Buster‘s for the past six months and Justin responds very well to this form of training. The harness she has provided makes walking him a pleasure now. I highly recommend Bark Buster‘s
I highly recommend Bark Busters! After our first session with Theresa, I felt like we really got our money’s worth. She explained dog behavior in a way that made so much sense and walked us through exercises that were perfect for Theo, our Australian Shepherd. I’m excited for our follow-up to show her how much Theo has improved!
Theresa is one impressive trainer. Having had pups for over thirty five years, I was pleasantly surprised to have learned stuff about training our hyperactive Goldendoodle , Daniel, that I was not aware of before. He still has a ways to go, but I can’t believe how much hear improved just after one session. Thank you, Theresa. We’re very grateful for your help.
Theresa was great and realy helped us understand why the things we were doing were not working, and she carefully explained the techniques and the reasons they were important.
Leigh Ann’s knowledge is so helpful! She answered all of our questions and showed us methods of how to communicate correctly with our dog. She is so patient and kind! Everything we learned from her has been so helpful! We are looking forward to our training exercises with our dog, thanks to all the tools she has given us. She explained everything in a simple way and provides excellent examples.
Learned a lot. A great experience. Leigh Ann was very patient with all the barking she was dealing with.
Leigh Ann has already performed miracles. She worked with us and Frannie to get a collar and leash on her.
My experience with Leigh Ann could not have been better. I am very optimistic about the progress we will make and I know I can always teach out.
Leigh Ann was amazing. She explained to me what was happening with my dog (Mayhem) who is having aggression issues and told me her plan to change how I communicate with him. Then she showed me what exercises I need to practice daily with him to regain control. Then we went outside and she took me through step by step how to do everything. It's only been 24 hours, but he is really taking to it. I'm very excited to see how he does between now and our next session. Also she gave me great tips on how to start training my puppy (Moonshine), and help with things like nipping and potty training. Looking forward to working with Leigh Ann more.
I had the pleasure of working with Leigh from Bark Busters and was beyond amazed at how quickly she was able to turn our protective, very aggressive, dog into a respectable little citizen. We aren’t done yet, but the progress that was made in one lesson was worth every penny.
We are excited to have an opportunity to help Lily become the best she can be. We learned so many helps the first visit. Thank you, Leigh Ann
Leigh Ann was so great in helping with both of our dogs. She is very confident and professional and I love her strategies of working with the dogs. I feel very comfortable using her as the trainer for my dogs because she has experience with dogs that have the same issues as mine have. After consulting other training options in the area, Bark Busters is ultimately the best option for an affordable, reliable, and helpful training service. I also appreciate how the focus is on building the relationship between the dogs and I.
Love!!! Absolutely love the training. Leigh Ann was amazing. Very professional very knowledgeable and very personable. Jack responded well to all the techniques. Looking forward to our next session.
Bark Busters is the miracle we needed for our girl, Juno. Leigh Ann is fabulous at making sure we all know what to do, and we saw amazing results after just the first session! We are all living in harmony now. Thank you!

Things to consider before getting a puppy

Does My New Puppy Need Training?

Got a new puppy and need help with basic training to start off on the right paw?

Puppies, like infants and toddlers, need structure, guidance, and a whole lot of patience to grow into well-behaved, confident dogs. They require extra attention for housetraining, socialization, feeding, and playtime compared to adult dogs—it's a big responsibility. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to puppy training, but this is where Bark Busters Tallahassee comes in.

With Bark Busters in-home training, you don’t have to wait to start training your puppy. I come to your home and pace the sessions according to your puppy’s developmental stages and your progress. I provide you all the tools needed to successfully train your puppy at home, tackling common issues such as: 

  • Chewing
  • Playful biting
  • Barking
  • Stealing food
  • Digging
  • Crate training
  • Potty training
  • Leash training
  • Separation anxiety

Training can begin just a few days after your puppy settles in. Starting early and staying consistent will help you build a strong bond and develop the leadership skills needed for lifelong good behavior.

Dog with Behavior Issues Destroyed Wall

Are You Struggling with Your Dog's Behavior?

Bark Busters trainers specialize in behavioral modification, bringing over 30 years of experience to successfully help thousands of dogs. Your Bark Busters trainer in Tallahassee will tailor a solution specifically to your dog to address any behavioral issues such as:

  • Aggressive dog behavior is often a learned, typically stemming from feelings of vulnerability, fear, or a perceived lack of protection. It can develop as a survival mechanism or due to a misunderstanding of the dog's role within its pack. Identifying the root cause of this behavior is essential in addressing what triggers your dog’s aggression.
  • Separation anxiety in dogs is a complex behavioral issue with negative consequences. Dogs can grow accustomed to having their families around and may become confused when they are suddenly left alone more frequently. Addressing this issue early can prevent significant stress for both dogs and their owners.
  • Sibling rivalry in a multi-dog household is a serious issue many dog owners face. Bark Busters trainers can identify the underlying causes of rivalry and work to resolve them before they escalate.

Eliminate Unwanted Behaviors Through Effective Dog Training

Most severe dog behaviors can be corrected with the expert guidance of a professional Bark Busters trainer. Here with Bark Busters Tallahassee, our unique dog behavioral modification therapy helps dogs unlearn aggressive behaviors and restructure their responses in a way that is clear and understandable for both the dog and the owner.

I can help with any age, any breed, and with any issue - even foundational puppy training. But especially if you need to relieve the stress of severe dog behavior issues - call me today!
