Bark Busters Pinellas County

Sharon at BarkBusters has really helped me develop the right behaviors to bring out the best in my beautiful Bernie doodle...BAYOU. I never really trained a puppy before, but Sharon breaks down the skills and demonstrates them so well...we get a nearly instant response. BarkBusters can help you with short-term issues...or like us...you can have her be available for the life of your dog....as their (your) needs change. It's a GREAT INVESTMENT in a well behaved and happier fur friend.

We've been very pleased with Sharon at BarkBusters. This is our first puppy....in 25 years...so it's been great to relearn the do's and dont's, especially now that we're retired and have more time...to pay attention :) Would highly recommend them as a solid INVESTMENT in making your long-term DOGGY relationship, the BEST it can be. It's great knowing we can get advice...whenever we need it.

We have a 10 month old Shihpoo with separation anxiety. We couldn’t leave the house without her. She would yelp and cry uncontrollably. We tried crate training and watched so many videos looking for a training method that would work. One session with Sharon and we have the tools to gain some freedom. We are on day 2 and we’ve already made so much progress. We are able to better communicate with our dog and help her understand that she is safe and can relax when we leave. It pretty remarkable!!

About a month ago, we adopted a dog who suffers from severe separation anxiety, and from the very beginning we felt overwhelmed and unsure how to properly help him. I did extensive research and spoke with many different trainers, but Sharon was the only one who spoke with complete confidence, clearly explaining that she specializes specifically in separation anxiety and assuring us that she could guide us and help us through this process. We met at our home the very next day, which already showed her level of professionalism and care. From the moment she arrived, Sharon was patient, calm, extremely clear, and very thorough. She took the time to explain everything step by step, answered all of our questions, and made sure both my partner and I fully understood what we needed to do. What truly amazed us was that in less than an hour, our dog already began responding and applying what we practiced during the session. Seeing such immediate progress gave us so much hope and reassurance. Sharon didn’t just train our dog she taught us how to understand him better and how to help him in the right way. We are still at the very beginning of the process, but I can already say with complete confidence that choosing Sharon was the best decision we could have made. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone dealing with separation anxiety or looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate trainer.

We have a New Leash on life! After our 1st session with Sharon, we are confident we are on the road to easing the severe separation anxiety our Sparky has. He came to us in Jan after being rescued from Helene and losing his mom. We love him so much, and wanted to help him be happy when we aren't home. We tried everything, we thought, then called bark busters. We know it will take time but we feel sure we now have the tools needed to speak Dog language. I'll update in 2 months, but he was so responsive today, it was really remarkable. We highly recommend Sharon.
