Heather is a great trainer she really knows what she's doing! We have only had one session so far and she gave me a huge amount of knowledge I've never learned in a dog training class or anywhere else!

Thorough training details but not overwhelming. Helpful videos to remind of lessons learned.

AMAZING doesn’t adequately describe the service I received from Heather. After one visit my English Setter was no longer pulling and making our walks difficult. We are taking in an Australian Shepherd, and Heather is making this transition go better than I ever dreamed it would. Without hesitation she has my recommendation for any one searching for a trainer. Thank you, Heather!

John's communication and training style has made it so easy to connect with my dog and take control of my home.

Sharon did an outstanding job with our toy poodle Franny and mini labradoodle Lola! Franny has terrible separation anxiety and Lola barks at every unfamiliar animal/person she sees. Both showed improvements within the first HOUR of training. Sharon was thorough, provided extensive education and written notes, and is extremely passionate about helping you and your dogs! I would HIGHLY recommend Sharon. Thanks again!!!

Much more accomplished than we expected. John instructed with patience and clarity. We learned a lot and believe we will be able to deal with our dogs much more successfully.

We live in Calaveras County. On 21 January 2025 we adopted Stella—a 50 pound, 10-month-old Standard Poodle from a Local Animal Shelter.
PermalinkShe had several different homes in 10 months and, although very sweet, she came with an uncontrolled wild level of activity and a large collection of fears from canes to hats and aluminum foil—to name just a few.
We tried professional dog training programs from two different training organizations with no real progress until we searched for in-home dog training and found Bark Busters. Bark Busters put us in contact with Sarah Harrington and we made an appointment for her to come to the house to evaluate Stella. We agreed to the program (there was no obligation) and she started work with Stella immediately.
Prior to Sarah, Stella was uncontrolled on a leash; never came when called; was always underfoot in the house; and there was no predicting the onset of a high energy canine panic attack with resultant chaos. After Sarah’s first visit, Stella was controlled on leash and began to respond to commands “sit” and “come”.
Over the months since Sarah’s first visit, she has been to our home multiple times (whenever we call, she comes). Stella is now a perfect lady on leash, sitting and staying when commanded. She waits patiently by open doors until invited in; comes when called 80% of the time (working on that); and is no longer afraid of canes or aluminum foil—although a few phobias remain. Most recently, Stella developed unusual skill at counter surfing and Sarah prescribed and demonstrated techniques to control that behavior and for Stella to remain out of the kitchen unless invited (80% success; we continue to work on that).
Sarah’s work with us (we, of course, are the main training challenge) and Stella has been nothing but miraculous. Stella has gone from an uncontrolled, fearful dog to a loving and mostly obedient companion—thanks to Sarah. We have more work to do with Stella but Sarah has been and is always willing to come on our request to reinforce, train and suggest continuing improvement in us and Stella. We can heartily recommend Bark Busters and Sarah to anyone who needs in-home dog training.

Today we discussed the appropriate ways for me to become the leader I need to be so that Chewie can respect and listen to me.
