Meet Amber, Your Local Professional Dog Trainer
Home Dog Training in Arlington Texas!
I'm Amber Furchess, your local Bark Busters Dog Trainer in Arlington. My passion for helping dogs and their owners runs deep, and I understand firsthand how challenging it can be to deal with behavioral issues. Years ago, my 11-year-old dog had serious sibling rivalry with another dog, leading to aggressive behavior. I felt overwhelmed and didn't know where to turn until I discovered Bark Busters. Learning to be the leader my dog needed transformed our lives.
Today, I'm proud to say that I’ve trained hundreds of dogs and, just as importantly, have empowered their owners to communicate effectively with their pets, leading to happier, more harmonious households. I love what I do and am excited about the possibility of working with you to help your dog become a well-behaved, cherished member of your family.

Is Your Dog Barking Excessively?
Excessive barking doesn’t just cause headaches; it can also indicate an imbalance in your dog’s emotional or environmental needs. Frequent barking can indicate underlying issues such as stress, frustration, or excitement. At Bark Busters Arlington, we aim to address the root causes of this behavior to create a healthier and more harmonious relationship between you and your pet.
Why Do Dogs Bark?
Dogs bark for various reasons, including:
- Attention-seeking: They may be demanding food, playtime, or a chance to go outside.
- Territorial behavior: Barking might be a way to keep strangers, other dogs, or perceived threats at bay.
- Discomfort or fear: They may bark to avoid a situation that feels unsafe or overwhelming.
- Habitual behavior: Some dogs simply enjoy the sound of their own voice. Barking can be a self-rewarding behavior because it often achieves the desired outcome for the dog, reinforcing the habit over time.
Resolving Barking and Building a Better Relationship
Yes, we do want to quiet the excessive barking. However, you also want to build a better relationship while you're doing so. We will help to guide you to teach your pup what the right decisions are in the home so there's no confusion on the rules and boundaries. At Bark Busters Arlington, we teach dog owners how to effectively communicate with their pets. Our methods are simple, easy to implement, and highly effective. By learning how to "speak" your dog’s language, you can address the root causes of excessive barking and guide your pet toward healthier behaviors.
If you're struggling with this issue, please give a call to Bark Busters Arlington. You won't regret it!
While adding a new dog to your family can bring joy, playfulness, and more love into your home, it can also lead to dog behavioral issues. Sibling rivalry is one of the most common behavioral issues we help owners with in multi-dog households.
Managing a household with multiple dogs requires strong leadership to maintain harmony. Many owners encounter behavioral challenges that can range from dogs not listening due to feeding off each other’s energy to more severe cases of dog aggression - and all kinds of issues in between! There are different types of sibling rivalry that can arise between dogs:
- 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.
Professional Dog Training Can Resolve Tensions
These are just a few issues that can arise in a multi-dog household. Dealing with these challenges can be stressful, but the good news is that with the right guidance, these tensions can be resolved. I have extensive experience with multi-dog households and sibling rivalry. While it requires time and consistency, achieving a peaceful home is possible! Working with a professional Bark Busters Trainer is essential to ensure success.
