    I recently had the pleasure of working with Sharon from Bark Busters Pinellas County to address my dog's behavioral issues, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. From the moment she entered our home, Sharon's expertise and calm demeanor were evident. She took the time to understand our specific concerns and tailored the training to our dog's unique needs.​

    One of the most impressive aspects of Sharon's approach is her emphasis on communication and respect, rather than relying on treats or physical corrections. This method not only led to immediate improvements but also strengthened the bond between us and our furry friend. For instance, within the first session, our dog stopped jumping on guests and began walking calmly on a leash—a transformation we hadn't thought possible so quickly.​

    Sharon's dedication didn't stop after the initial visit. She provided us with the tools and knowledge to continue reinforcing positive behaviors and made herself available for any follow-up questions. Her commitment to ensuring long-term success is truly commendable.​

    We are a week into our training and our dog continues to improve.

    I highly recommend Bark Busters Pinellas County to any dog owner seeking effective, compassionate, and lasting training solutions. Our home is now a more peaceful and happy place, thanks to Sharon's guidance.

    Photo of Tank and Lily The training has taught my fiancé and I so much about how to better manage our dogs when they get stressed and reactive. I feel so much better suited to communicate with my dogs in a way they understand. Every dog owner should have this training!

    I'm so glad to hear that you and your fiancé found the training helpful! It's amazing how understanding your dogs' stress and reactivity can truly transform your relationship with them. Being able to communicate in a way they understand makes all the difference. I couldn't agree more—every dog owner would benefit from this kind of training. Keep up the great work with your dogs! 😊

    Photo of Butter, Lucki & Koko I am overall very happy to have chosen Bark Busters to train my pets! My pets struggle a lot with excessive barking, and jumping. They came today and my dogs can be stress free in their own home. I’m so happy with the end results and I love how they are strictly about learning the dogs behavior and communicating with them. Another thing I might add is I do love how they do not use any type of treats. I’m trying to avoid treats for my pets and they didn’t even mention treats. I’m so happy with today’s lesson and I definitely recommend to anybody else looking for a dog trainer!

    Trainer Note:
    Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so thrilled to hear that you’re happy with the progress your dogs have already made and that they’re now more stress-free at home. It's always our goal to focus on understanding the dogs' behavior and building clear communication, so it’s great to hear that resonated with you!

    As dog behaviorists, we completely agree with you about not relying on treats—using positive reinforcement through communication is key to creating lasting changes. We're so glad to know that approach is working well for you and your pups.

    Thank you again for the recommendation! It’s been a pleasure working with you and your dogs, and we're excited to continue helping them thrive!

    Sharon helped us train our 2 1/2 year old stubborn French bulldog with a list of behaviors we needed help with correcting. Leo showed improvement on our first session. Sharon taught us how to teach our dog Leo to stop leashing pulling, jumping on us, and stop stealing things around the house. Sharon gave us dog-friendly correction techniques that don't include treat training, which was essential to us as we did not want him to rely on treats for good behavior. After 2 weeks of us applying the training, we reached out to Sharon for another session to work on Leo in a Public park to correct jumping on strangers and greeting other dogs appropriately, and she responded quickly and was able to get us on her schedule the same day with no problems. We highly recommend Sharon as we are delighted to see a huge difference in his behaviors over the past few weeks we have been working with her, so that we can take Leo out more often without him becoming overexerted and jumping on everyone and not stealing everything we drop or shoes left out. Her sessions are worth every penny and the peace of mind that we can get as many training sessions as needed if we need more guidance.

    Great company. Heather has helped me so much and has gotten my pup 9 month newfypoo to walk outside after he was attacked by a loose dog in the neighborhood. She is fantastic!!

    Photo of Nessie Kayla is so amazing to work with. She came to our house with our puppy and taught us so much. She answers any questions I have via text when I’m stuck on what the best thing is for our pup. She always gives honest and educated advice that I truly trust.

    Photo of Hamlet Kayla was excellent - we just had our first visit and learned plenty on how to build confidence in our boy Hammy so he knows to look to us for leadership. Already seeing an improvement on our communication!

    Kayla came to our home well prepared for our first visit and we saw results day one! Her knowledge combined with true compassion for helping owners help their dogs be the best they can be truly shines through. I love that we are armed with a plan and homework to work on in between visits.

    Kayla from Bark Busters is the real deal. She was awesome! Even after having dogs my entire life, learned and practiced so much last evening. It is absolutely true that you see a difference on the very first meeting with your dog. We've been putting in to practice all of the daily activities and exercises and are continuing to see great progress with my 2 year old mini-dachsund, Riley. Kayla is both professional and very personable. I have already recommended her to 2 of my nephews for their dogs, and do not hesitate to recommend her to anyone !
