    Kayla is amazing at what she does! We have tried different training methods with our dog before but they didn’t work. After our first session with Kayla we already saw a huge improvement in Kodah’s behavior & felt so relieved knowing we finally found the right trainer for us! Kodah is so much happier & relaxed & so are we! We have learned so much & can’t thank Kayla enough for everything she has done!!

    Photo of Lucy and Ethel Bark Busters Lake Norman, led by trainers Diane and John, provided exceptional puppy training for our two chocolate labs. Their behavioral approach focused on addressing the root causes of our pups' behavioral issues, without using treats or punishment.

    Diane and John were professional and knowledgeable, creating a personalized training plan to achieve our goals. Throughout the training process, they used communication-based methods, teaching our puppies obedience skills through voice tones, body language, and other subtle cues.

    Bark Busters' unique approach to training allowed us to build a strong foundation of trust and respect with our puppies, leading to well-behaved and obedient dogs. We highly recommend their non-treat and non-punishment-based training to anyone in the Lake Norman area. Diane and John at Bark Busters Lake Norman are the perfect choice for top-notch puppy training.

    Photo of Sadie / Lexi Josh went over the importance of establishing boundaries with our puppies. We handled barking both at the door, and on our walks. Both of our dogs were compliant so we hope we can successfully complete our homework and continue this positive step in their behavior.

    Trainer Note:
    Today's session with Nikkie went great! We addressed all the major issues in and around the home! We also went over the puppy basics and potty training. They responded very well, and Nikkie was very pleased! Now that we have a game plan for success, I am really looking forward to their progress!

    My puppy Loki was all over the place. He needed help with potty training, jumping, whining and coming back when I called him. Bill came in and changed the whole scene immediately. At the end of the first lesson I had the tools I needed to get Loki on track. Bill has come back to work with us on advanced training since and all I can say is wow!

    I can't get over how quickly our dogs responded to the Bah...and the high pitch voice for rewards. These guys are game changers.

    Cassidy was very helpful last year with our first foster dog who was a pitbull mix as she had some issues we had never dealt with in previous dogs. She gave us some great tools and I am happy to say her recommendations were very effective and such a great help.

    A few months ago we adopted a 7 month old Rottweiler puppy. Like many puppies he had some typical puppy issues which we were able to address effectively and overall he was a great dog. However, he developed a fixation with chasing and digging at his shadow. We tried distraction, extra exercise, spray bottles, turning him on his back, and a myriad of other tactics all to no avail. We were almost at our wits end. Cassidy to the rescue – wish we had called her sooner. After she evaluated our latest addition to the pack she shared some great tools and exercises from her trainer toolbox. I am elated that we saw an immediate change for the better in his behavior. Her suggestions were the best kind – simple and yet effective. She was able to not only demonstrate the tools/exercises but more importantly observe us to ensure these were used with the proper timing for them to be effective. Reading books and watching youtube videos is entertaining and there is some great content out there but every dog is different. Sometimes having a professional personally observe your dog and how you interact with them can save hours of frustration and drastically shorten the path to success. All we have to do now is follow the path Cassidy outlined so our Rottie will continue to improve. Would not hesitate to call her again and highly recommend her.

    Photo of J.J Josh was fantastic - both with us as new dog owners and our puppy, J.J. He was so kind, and knowledgeable, patient, and helpful!

    Really great session today with J.J. He is a smart pup but struggling with a bit of fear. Today we addressed all the basics and how to start socializing him now! This is a huge focus and crucial for his success to being a calm confident dog!

    Hudson and London are great pups but are now in their adolescence faze. Heidi was really struggling with them and needed help! Today we covered all the basics and also addressed a plan for their future.

    Photo of Maggie Kyle was an absolute nice guy! He listened intently to all of the challenges I had been having with my sweet dog Maggie. Kyle helped me to understand what was driving Maggie’s behavior and how to demonstrate effective leadership.

    Kyle is committed to his profession and he has made a huge positive difference. Thank you so much!
