Puppy Training

Give Your Puppy a Great Start!
Puppies need guidance to develop good manners and a well-balanced temperament. Just like infants and toddlers, they are constantly learning from their environment. That’s where you come in! While much of a puppy’s early socialization happens with their mothers and litter-mates in the first 12 weeks, you play a crucial role in reinforcing proper behavior and setting the foundation for lifelong obedience.
Puppy Fundamentals
Bark Busters offers at-home puppy training designed to build a foundation of trust and respect in a familiar setting. Our expert puppy trainers focus on essential skills such as crate training, potty training, and leash training. With personalized puppy obedience training, we can help ensure your puppy develops positive habits from the start.
Get Started Today!
Bark Busters’ Puppy Management and Training Program provides you everything you need for effective puppy training at home. Whether you’re searching for “puppy training near me” or need puppy training private sessions, our tailored approach addresses common challenges like nipping, chewing, barking, and jumping.
Puppy training can begin just days after your puppy settles into their new home, but keep in mind that young puppies tire quickly—some lessons may be explained rather than demonstrated during the initial session.
Invest in your puppy’s future with proven, in-home training that works! Contact us today and get started.

Hear from our Clients about Puppy Training with Bark Busters
Here's my story: I have a puppy GSD who's shockingly lazy, but his shepherdation (separation) anxiety was really out of control to the point where he could break out of his crate AND open my front door.
I would describe myself as highly dog knowledgable so I am VERY particular about the methods used by trainers. To each their own, but e-collars, prongs, etc are band-aids (or worseners) for most problems since most dog-owners don't really understand the timing/utility of these tools enough to ween off of them at any point. If your dog is a 100/10 lunatic, then I guess I get it :|
Anywho, I was honestly shocked to learn they don't even rely on clickers or treats, just straight up dog behavior and psychology, yet have the reviews they have.
Here's my summary. I am only 2 days post training, have received a comprehensive training plan with new crate recs, have gotten 5-7 minutes of a CALM dog in his crate once I've left (a miracle), and did nothing but learn to amend MY body languages and sounds.
Bonus that Anthony was an absolute delight to work with.
Hire them - you're welcome in advance ;)
Thank you so much and I’m looking forward to the future with Reiff.
I wanted to wait a full month before writing this because I didn’t want to get too excited too fast… but I can say now, without a doubt: Patrick and Bark Busters are absolutely incredible.
If you don’t read any further, just know this—Patrick is the real deal. His guidance and the Bark Busters method made a noticeable difference in our home right away. But—and this is important—you have to do the work. There’s no shortcut. It takes consistency, every day, every moment. But if you’re committed, the results are real.
We have two Labs—one’s 3 years old and the other was 8 months when we reached out for help. We thought the older one was well-behaved because he was “calm,” but in hindsight… maybe not so much. Meanwhile, the puppy was jumping, barking at the door, overwhelmed by visitors, and hadn’t even been introduced to our older dog yet.
Patrick showed up and within minutes he helped us start “speaking dog.” The transformation with our puppy was almost immediate. He gave us tools to lead with clarity—not by being harsh, but by setting limits and being consistent. By the time Patrick left, the energy in the house was completely different. The dogs were calmer, and we felt more in control.
And yes—there’s homework. Every day. But it’s doable. And Patrick is always just a call or text away if you need help.
A month later, things are better than we could have imagined. The dogs are now introduced, they play together, hang out calmly, and we’ve set real boundaries that make everyday life much more enjoyable. Just this week we even realized our “well-behaved” older dog may have been part of the problem all along—turns out we had some habits to break too. Patrick helped us see that, and now we’re working on recall and public behavior with both dogs.
Bottom line: if you’re struggling at all—whether it’s big issues or just small things that are adding up—call Patrick. The Bark Busters system works, and Patrick really knows what he’s doing. We're so grateful we made the call.
We are looking forward to practice what she taught us and looking forward to improvement daily.
I would highly recommend Bark Busters and Ryanne.
From our very first session, everything started to shift. Tommy gave us structure, clarity, and a completely new way of communicating with our dogs that brought an immediate sense of calm into the home. The chaos we were used to—dogs fighting over toys, barking, ignoring commands—was replaced with peaceful routines, respectful behavior, and visible relief in everyone, even our older dogs who used to stay out of the fray.
One of the best parts? The support doesn’t end after a session. Tommy provides a detailed plan, tons of practical tools, and follow-up that truly feels like a partnership. The Lifetime Guarantee means we’re never on our own, and that kind of reassurance is invaluable when you’re dealing with complex behavior. He checks in, answers questions, and genuinely wants to see our household thrive.
My wife and I are very pleased I highly recommend
Fully prepared to not have to pay, I was utterly shocked at how efficient this man is. God really blessed me finding this trainer because he not only was beyond efficient in the duration of training but teaches something that REALLY works. Not gonna give away his secrets… but you’ll have to book with him to find out ;)
