Dog Behavior Training

Professional Dog Training for Lasting Results

Bark Busters trainers are experts in behavioral modification. We have helped thousands of dogs over our 30-plus years in business, personalizing our approach to each dog we work with to address Aggression, Separation Anxiety, Sibling Rivalry, and other severe dog behavior.

Dog Aggression

Dog aggression is a learned behavior, stemming in most cases from the dog feeling vulnerable, fearful, or unprotected. Often, it develops as a means of survival, or because of a misrepresentation of the dog’s role in their pack. It is critical to get to the root of this behavior to find what triggers your dog to become aggressive. There are many different types of dog aggression, including:

Aggression with other dogs
Aggression towards humans
Food aggression
Possessive aggression
Territorial aggression

Separation Anxiety

Dogs can become conditioned to not only enjoy, but to expect their families to be around. When dogs return to being alone more often – and do not understand why – the confusion can manifest itself as Separation Anxiety, a complex behavioral issue with negative consequences. If addressed early, however, pooches and parents can save a lot of headaches. Symptoms of separation anxiety can include:

Vocalization (excessive howling and barking)
Inappropriate toileting
Destructive behavior (like chewing and digging)
Excessive panting
Pacing and drooling

Sibling Rivalry

Whether dogs are actual siblings or simply living together, Sibling Rivalry is one of the most serious issues people face with their dogs. Bark Busters trainers can help identify the causes of any rivalry issues, and work to address them before they escalate. These often include:

Avoiding pain
Lack of leadership
Favoritism
Inconsistency

Most aggressive behaviors can be corrected under the expert guidance of a professional Bark Busters dog trainer.
