Virtual Training
Revolutionizing Dog Training with Virtual Support
Since our inception, technology has allowed us to support our clients from afar. From phone calls to modern video conferencing, we have embraced technology to answer questions, resolve issues, and be there for pet parents and their pups.
It’s foundational to our unique-to-the-industry Life of Dog Support Guarantee and born out in a 30-plus year track record of ongoing assistance, positive results, and happier dogs and humans, no matter where in the world they live.
Our trainers solve problems by teaching pet parents natural, dog-friendly communication techniques to put into practice with their pups. This is our essence – and why we are well prepared to help clients from anywhere, by any available means.
So How Does Virtual Training Work?
We're So Glad You Asked!
Here are some frequently asked questions – and answers – about remote training the Bark Busters way.
How can you train my dog remotely?
We show you how to communicate with your dog in ways they understand, so you can establish yourself as pack leader. Video conferencing tools like Google Meet, Skype, and Zoom allow us to observe your interactions with your pup and offer feedback, but we are working most closely with you.
What tools do I need?
Not much: just a free video conferencing program, like Google Meet, Skype, or Zoom, and a camera connected to a mobile phone, laptop, or desktop computer.
How are the lessons structured?
First, we’ll work with you to clarify your challenges, goals, and expectations. Next, we’ll share some information about how we train, then teach you some exercises that you can learn and put into practice immediately.
Can I ask questions?
Of course! Our trainers love to listen and let you ask questions. Your needs will shape our lessons, so don’t be shy. We’ll also check in throughout the lesson for questions or clarification.
Should I take notes?
We recommend writing down exercise names and some brief information about how to do them. But don’t worry: we’ll share handouts, lesson notes, training aids, next steps, and even a bit of homework (if applicable!)
What if I have questions in between lessons?
We’re always here for you – contact us at any time for clarification if new needs arise, or whatever else may pop up.
After over 30 years and 1 million-plus happy dogs and family members, we wholeheartedly believe in our virtual training methods and their ability to get the results you seek.

(Here’s some cute pics of my fur babies)
And those three prior trainers were all in person !!! In only two virtual sessions with Michelle . Kona dramatically changed for the better! :-) Michelle understands how dogs think and live in a pack and s
he trains humans how to be in the dog world. Guess what it 100% works! Kona now looks at me as if she is saying "finally mommy..YOU..understand ME❣"
I absolutely love these people!
Who would have thought through virtual Zoom I would have gotten these results! But I did! And I have never been happier in my life :-) Kona is a happier & more relaxed dog as well ...now that "I get it".. I now have the dog that I have always wanted and I am now the owner I have always wanted to be
Our dog responded great to their techniques and I’m very happy to know they will be there to help us throughout our dog’s life!
Again, thank you Karen and Marc. You guys are awesome!!
Overall, Jared was helpful, thoughtful, and thorough. We covered a ton of information during the first session. We focused on leashed walks, attentiveness, jumping, barking, personal space, and general manners (not crowding while we eat, stealing shoes, staying away from the door while we enter/ exit, etc.). We even went over diet. We gave us a lot of material to review and ways to track progress over weeks so it wasn’t overwhelming and it’s easier to stay consistent. He was well-prepared for the session and even brought a stuffed dog!
He helped my two dogs (11 year old rescue and 5 month old German shepherd) as well as my boyfriend’s dog (5 year old pitbull mix rescue). There was noticeable improvement with the puppy before the end of the first session. Thank you, Jared!
