Meet Kristyn & Joshua, Your Local Professional Dog Trainers
In-Home Dog Training Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe & East Valley!
Welcome. If you’re visiting my website, chances are you are frustrated with your dog’s behavior. And you want it fixed now. My names is Kristyn Hayes and I’m your local dog trainer for Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe and the East Valley. I have successfully trained hundreds of dogs throughout Phoenix, Mesa and Tempe and the East Valley and I am confident I can train yours.
We train owners not dogs. Neither you nor your dog are doing anything “wrong”. It’s a simple case of miscommunication. Dogs learn to communicate with each other when they are born in a pack at their mother’s teat. We then bring them into our households and wonder why we can’t communicate with them in English. Instead, Bark Busters Home Dog Training will teach you to communicate with them in a way that is natural to the pack – using voice tones and body language.
Our dog training methods are positive. Bark Busters Home Dog Training does not believe in using shock collars or prong collars because these often cause aggression. Additionally, although treat training may work in the short term, you don’t always have a treat when you want your dog to behave. Instead, Bark Busters Home Dog Training uses all positive, natural, humane dog training methods. Our techniques uncover the why your dog is acting the way he is. When we get to the root of the behavior we can overcome it.
You’ll see amazing results after the first lesson. After our first 2-hour lesson, you’ll begin to see significant changes in your dog’s behavior. If you reinforce the techniques 10 – 15/minutes a day, you’ll see the relationship evolve in ways you never thought possible.
Our dog training methods work for any issue, any age, any breed. Whether you have a chihuahua or Great Dane, a puppy or a senior dog, our dog training methods will work. Whether you have a purebred, rescue dog or mixed breed, we love them all!
The only complaint I receive from most of my clients is they wish they had called me sooner. Don’t delay. Your dog can go from misbehaving to obedient in no time!

Struggling with Your Dog's Behavior? We Have the Solution.
Are You Struggling with an Aggressive Dog?
Dogs are not born aggressive, it is generally a learned behavior and something that develops over time. When trying to resolve aggression it is important to understand the root cause of your dog’s aggression. Our team at Bark Busters Mesa can help you take the first step in solving your dog's behavioral issue. We identify the cause and guide you in resolving issues for a stress-free life with your dog.
There are many reasons why a dog may show aggression. These issues mixed with adrenaline and a lack of training can result in aggressive dog behavior. Some of those reasons may include:
- Improper Socialization
- Dominance
- Frustration
- Possessiveness
- Trauma
- Neglect
- Known or Unknown Medical Issues
- Fear

At Bark Busters we believe in humane and dog-friendly training techniques. Especially in cases of aggressive behavior we do not use e-collars or other abrasive techniques to resolve issues. If your dog is displaying aggressive behavior, don't wait any longer. We can help.
Could Your Dog's Behavior Signal Separation Anxiety?
If your dog howls, whines, barks or is destructive when you leave them, they may be suffering from separation anxiety. Separation anxiety in dogs occur when they become distressed and anxious when left alone or separated from their owners. Symptoms can materialize differently in different dogs and in different situations, but may include:
- Excessive vocalization (howling, barking)
- Inappropriate toileting
- Destructive behavior (chewing, digging)
- Excessive panting
- Pacing and drooling
Tips for Managing Your Dog's Separation Anxiety
If your dog shows anxiety when you leave, professional help is essential. In the meantime, try these tips:
- Establish and maintain a consistent routine, set clear boundaries, and reinforce positive behaviors to help mitigate separation anxiety.
- Encourage independence by creating a sense of separation at home and don’t allow your dog to follow you everywhere.

Are Your Dogs Fighting at Home?
While adding a new dog to your family adds joy and love, it can also cause behavioral issues. Sibling rivalry is one of the most common challenges we see in multi-dog households.
Managing a multi-dog household takes strong leadership to keep the peace. Owners often face challenges, from dogs ignoring commands to serious aggression and everything in between. Sibling rivalry can stem from various causes, including:
- Resource Guarding: Dogs may guard items like food, toys, crates, or specific areas of the home, and even their human owners.
- Age Difference: Introducing a puppy into a home with an older dog can create tension if the puppy’s constant playfulness annoys the older dog. Without clear rules and boundaries, this can lead to sibling rivalry.
- Maturity Clashes: A younger dog reaching maturity may sense the vulnerability of a senior dog in the home and attempt to assert dominance, sometimes leading to aggressive behavior.
- Littermate Syndrome: When two puppies of the same age, whether from the same litter or different litters, are raised together, they may bond more with each other than with the owner. This can result in feral behavior and, as they mature, increased likelihood of fighting.
Resolve the Tensions with Professional Dog Training
These challenges can be stressful, but with the right guidance, they can be resolved. With extensive experience in multi-dog households and sibling rivalry, we know that a peaceful home is possible with time and consistency. Get in touch with Bark Busters Mesa today to get started.
