As lifetime dog owners we cannot imagine life without a well-trained canine companion. Mike began training dogs in the early 1980’s when he fostered and eventually adopted an aggressive 9 month old Golden Retriever named Chelsea. His experience with Chelsea honed Mike’s skills and prepared him to help other foster dogs get ready for their forever homes.

Learn how Bark Busters Home Dog Training Dallas can help you today with all your dog behavior issues -- in-home and virtually!
Most behavioral issues are learned based on both experiences and environment. That’s why in home dog training is so effective because this is where most behavioral issues occur because it’s where your dog feels the safest. Because your dog can’t speak English and you can’t “speak dog” many miscommunications occur. At Bark Busters, we can teach you how to communicate with your dog in a language he understands.
