Bark Busters training provides the help we’ve been needing to lovingly train our dog!

I cannot speak highly enough of Erin's knowledge of dogs and her ability to teach owners how to successfully lead their dogs into positive behaviors. Erin understands how the mind of a dog works and how to teach owners how to communicate with their dogs in a way that dogs naturally understand (even older dogs!). Setting up a time to work with her was very easy and she is a very kind and compassionate person to owners and pets. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge so that owners and pets have the best relationship possible. Bottom line is successful dog training starts with training the owner and Erin is amazing at doing that!

We are really happy with the results of our dog training. Our dog is a mature dog not a puppy and it was challenging to correct her behavior. However Jared gave us plenty of advice and exercises to practice in order we could learn how to demonstrate our leadership and lead the dog. She is much calmer and less pushy now with her behaviors, for example no more begging for food, less whining and no more jumping on the couch without permission. We also find the format of occasional follow-up sessions very useful to maintain good behavior and help her improve. It was invaluable that Jared also brought his own dog to practice pack walks together with our dog, it was a game changer in her leash performance, paying attention to us and staying calm in close proximity to another dog.

We had our first in-home session today with Bonnie, and I couldn't be more impressed. From the moment she arrived, she was professional, friendly, and clearly very knowledgeable about dog behavior. She took the time to really understand our dog's personality, routines, and the specific challenges we've been facing. What stood out most was how patient and encouraging she was - not just with our dogs, but with us as owners as well. She explained everything in a way that was easy to follow and gave us practical techniques we could start using immediately. By the end of the visit, we were already seeing small but meaningful improvements. Highly recommend to anyone looking for personalized, effective and compassionate dog training!

I honestly don’t even know where to start because this trainer completely changed our lives with our dog. We have an 8-month-old pitbull puppy, and before finding him, we were exhausted, overwhelmed, stressed, and genuinely at the point where we thought we might have to give her up. It was heartbreaking because we love her so much, but nothing we were trying was working.
PermalinkWhat stood out immediately was that he didn’t just “train dogs.” He understands dog psychology on a completely different level. He was able to read our puppy so accurately and explain behaviors in ways that suddenly made everything click for us. No one else had been able to do that.
Within a short time, we started seeing changes we honestly thought were impossible. Our puppy became calmer, more connected to us, more confident, and overall just happier. But the biggest change was in us, we finally felt like we understood our dog instead of constantly feeling defeated by her behavior.
I truly believe he saved us from making a decision we would have regretted forever. Now we can’t imagine life without our girl, and our bond with her is stronger than ever because of his help.
If you’re struggling with your dog, especially if you feel hopeless or like you’ve “tried everything,” please give him a chance. We are beyond grateful we did.

We highly recommend Lydia O’Leary at Bark Busters! She has helped us so much with our nervous rescue dog! When we started bark busters our pup was so afraid of strangers and would bark in fear when people came over; since Lydia has given us the training tools and information, we have seen our dog become so much more calm and way less fearful. The techniques that bark busters teaches really do work; we had exhausted all reward based training options and were getting nowhere, but our dog responds so well to Lydia and the methods she has taught us. Lydia is so kind and encouraging and has been so responsive to our needs! She’s come back multiple times for tune-ups with our dog, and has even provided us ongoing support as we prepare our dog for our new baby coming in June. The peace of mind and on going support from Lydia and Bark busters has been more than worth the investment. Our dog is happy and calm and her behavior has and continues to improve every day!

Michael was patient and kind during our whole process. After our first session with him we have seen significant changes in our dog! I highly recommend his services. He taught us how to successfully train our dog! (And to be honest me, I needed the training too!)

We would highly recommend Sharon and Bark Busters. We were having trouble with our pup especially with personal space, general obedience, no recall, fear of people, and barking at everything. We have had many dogs before but this one is a handful. When Sharon came, it was remarkable how quickly our dog responded. She showed us simple, effective exercises and clearly explained what we needed to do to get our dog where we wanted her to be. It was also great to have a training method that is friendly and not treat-driven. Looking back, it’s surprising how far off we were in using the right approach, but with Sharon’s guidance, we’ve seen a dramatic improvement in our dog.

Wow, wow, wow!" I've used at least four other dog trainers over the past three years for my 75-pound lab, rottweiler, hound mix. It was not until I met Sharon with Bark Busters that I finally learned how to curb his fear & reactivity to strange dogs and people. Sharon has helped me immensely in learning how to desensitize him and begin safely socializing him. He is now having fun with other dogs! It's such a relief to see him becoming less concerned about strangers too. It's phenomenal! He's feeling better and safer in public, at home, and on his walks! This was accomplished without any treats & no e-collars (shock collars ) or any harsh methods. We even immediately put away the prong collar he had used his whole life. Sharon comes to you and meets you in real settings like on walks, in your home, yard, and in public. For a better understanding of your dog and to learn how to think like your dog and improve his behaviors, I highly recommend Sharon and Bark Busters in Pinellas County!
