Aggressive Dog Training Bark Busters Home Dog Training

Are You Struggling with Dog Aggression?

You’re not alone! Dog aggression is a learned behavior, stemming in most cases from the dog feeling vulnerable, fearful, or unprotected. Often, it develops as a means of survival, or because of a misrepresentation of the dog’s role in their pack. It is critical to get to the root of this behavior to find what triggers your dog to become aggressive. There are many different types of dog aggression, including:

  • Aggression with other dogs
  • Aggression towards humans
  • Food aggression
  • Possessive aggression
  • Territorial aggression

We Believe No Dog Is Beyond Help

The most important thing you can do to help your aggressive dog is to prevent situations that may lead to danger and seek professional assistance. We have successfully helped many families end aggressive behavior in a calm, holistic way. When your dog learns it doesn’t need to be vulnerable, fearful, or unprotected; they can just be a dog again. Contact us to today to start your journey to a happier life with your dog!

Can People Come Over to Your House?

Do you feel embarrassed that your dogs jump on anyone that comes through the door? Or maybe they are barking so much they scare anyone who passes by? These are the two most common complaints we have and both can be corrected with our training.

What we hear:

“I can’t have my grandma come over because my dogs will jump up and knock her down when she comes in the door.”

“My dogs jump on EVERYONE, and I can’t get them to stop”

“The BARKING never stops. It can be anything outside; the mailman, a car door or the wind. I am at my wits end with them and the barking!”

“My family is fighting because my dogs are so terrible. We all are yelling at the dogs and each other.”

If you can relate to any one of these statements, it’s time for a change. We help you resolve your dog’s behavior issues while building a stronger bond with your dog through leadership, trust, and love.

Sara Kroscher Bark Busters Dog Trainer Denver North

In-Home Dog Training in Denver North, Colorado!

Welcome! I am Sara Kroscher, your Bark Busters dog trainer and behavioral therapist in Denver North servicing the Brighton, Thornton, Northglen, Fort Lupton, Firestone, Longmont and Greeley area.

Growing up in Colorado I’ve owned many animals, and I have a special place in my heart for dogs! Over the years I have worked with animals managing a pet store in college, then assisting as vet tech.

In 2022 I adopted a dog and overnight we went from two dog households to three. Mazzy wasn’t adjusting the way I thought she would with the other dogs. This is when I called Bark Busters for help. My home changed that day, with much less stress and the knowledge of how to communicate with my dogs. That’s when I could see myself training dogs and helping others in the same way. I look forward to helping you live a happier life with your dog.

Bark Busters is the worldwide leader of in-home dog training. We believe in empowering dog owners with simple, effective, time-efficient, and cruelty-free techniques that will work alongside dog’s natural instincts. Because Bark Busters methods are generally based on how dogs naturally communicate, your dog already understands these methods.

Omg big shout out to Sara with Bark Busters. American bulldog Bullet had a issue bitting a child. Had to get bullet elevated. Sara came out to us offered get INFORMATION, VISUAL REFERENCE and even got my own homework!!!. I was unsure about this, well all I can say is
I am amazed at her GUIDANCE and TRAINING INFORMATION My beast bullet was so exhausted and asleep at Sara feet. Wonderful amazingly and so pleased. THANK YOU BARK BUSTERS. VERY WORTH IT AND RECOMMEND HIGHLY.
My dogs were behaving better within minutes and we accomplished so much within the first session. We are working on everything from aggressive/inappropriate behaviors to sitting quietly, patiently, and respectfully. I am very excited to go on walks with them again.
Today was the first day of training for my 2 chocolate labs. Sara came to our home and it immediately felt like we had know her for years. She was so personable. My 2 chocolate labs that are very friendly, full of energy always eager to greet others (just not in the right friendly way). Sara showed us some very practical tips that just clicked. It made sense for us and for the dogs. I was a little skeptical that I would see results the first day. Boy oh boy, was i wrong. Already they are minding better. Looking forward to doing the work we were shown at home and can’t wait for Sara to come back to share more helpful tips with us. You rock Sara! 🤩
JUST WOW!! Sara has just left our home after the first visit and OMG what a difference already in just 2.5 hours! Sara made us feel so comfortable and confident working with our animals in our own home! It's amazing how a simple little thing like talking to your dogs isn't so simple until you're shown how! Our little family can't be more thankful and grateful for the tools and knowledge we have already learned today alone, we are so very eager to start on our homework with the girls!!! The Buster's are beyond thankful for Sara and Bark Busters!!!!!
Holly has been a lifesaver! After bringing in a second pup, the behavioral issues with my firstborn increased significantly - intense sibling rivalry, refusal to respond to basic commands, bad manners, and on and on. After our first session with Holly, she empowered me with some fundamentals that have completely changed the dynamic with both dogs. Her model is so simple, kind, and effective. All the work was done in the home and led by me (with Holly's instruction and rationale for the behaviors and responses). I was prepared for months of work with Holly and after just two sessions (and a lot of practice on my end), we are to a place I didn't think was possible. I am so grateful for this experience and to finally have the doggy dynamic I have wanted for so long. Thank you, Holly!
We couldn’t believe how much better our dog responded to our commands. The big surprise was how quickly we saw a great reduction in aggressive behavior. Thank you and we look forward to working with you over the next several months
We only had one session so far. That is the reason all issues have not been addressed yet. We have FULL confidence the other issues will be timely and appropriate for our training sessions. We were amazingly impressed with Holly at first sight. She thoroughly explained to us how we are like a wolf pack to our Toby Tabito. He is doing great! We hope to learn what we need to as his pack leaders. Thank you so very much Holly for your kindness and thorough help in just one session so far! We are so excited for the ease of this method! We promise to do our best to do the training correctly and daily!!!
Hire Holly ASAP! I thought I didn’t have the time, bandwidth, or energy to do a good job with training and thank goodness for Holly and her instantly effective methods that she was able to show me in the convenience of my own home. Our household is completely transformed from a loud-barking and anxiety chaos environment to a calm and peaceful one. Holly empowered me to be my dog’s best leader and I couldn’t be more grateful. I deserved it and my dog did too —and Holly was the one to help me understand that rather than making me feel judged for not having it all together or being to blame for my dog’s issues (like I had felt from a place I tried before Bark Busters) Do yourself the favor and contact her asap —you’ll be so glad you did!!
Holly is ANGEL SENT!! I truly thought my dog was forever anxious, forever defiant, and too instinctive to train. Without giving away their business secrets, after ONE training session my hope is back. I saw that my dog was protecting me, therefore never able to fully relax and trust ME to protect HER. I would 110% recommend. We are hopeful to see where this goes!
We are still in shock at how quickly the first behavioral changes began and how impactful it has been for our dogs. After two years with these lovely sisters, food aggression and resource guarding became too much for us to handle. Holly came into our home and within minutes our pups were better behaved than the entire two years prior. They listen, understand our stance and commands, and are much more at ease around the house. We are no longer just those weird two-legged dogs they protect from ourselves, but rather we have become the leaders of the pack and everyone is happy. I have already shared Holly's success with so many people and will continue to recommend her! Can't wait for our next training together!
Holly has been incredible! We are first time dog owners and rescued a two year old Staffordshire terrier. Mr. TAZ. Leash pulling was his favorite on top of running away. Bark Busters was easy to get ahold of and provided high quality training in a short amount of time. Our furry friend no longer pulls or runs alway. Fun fact “Dog run away when they don’t have leadership in their current home.” Taz has been a blessing in disguise. Bark Busters specialize in aggressive dogs. Picture of Taz and Three playing on his last day of training. Bark busters is the best lifetime investment. Highly recommend.
I have nothing but amazing things to say about Holly. In just the 2 hour initial training we learned so much!! We recently adopted a German Shepherd who was struggling to fit into our pack. Turns out we were sending mixed signals which was in turn causing havoc. We finished the training feeling a sense of relief and a new confidence in our leadership skills. 🙌 We have emailed questions to Holly and she was quick to respond. We look forward to you 2nd session and are absolutely thankful we found Holly! 10/10 highly recommend!
Great day when I connected to Holly and Bark Busters. She is both professional and personable. Her skills at quickly sizing up the needs of owner and pet are remarkable, and much appreciated. In simple modeling and directions, she quickly had me getting the necessary behavioral outcomes with the dogs. Because of her encouragement, I am confident I can get my little pack on track. So pleased I decided to go ahead with Bark Busters.

I have alot of work to do but already seeing an improvement in both Dogs
Made working with our dog Gus much easier. We were able to get Gus on a leash and walking with no pulling and fighting. It was truly amazing. Gives us hope we will be able to have more enjoyable walks for a long time to come. Highly recommend Holly and Bark Busters!!
Holly was excellent to work with. She was able to show us how to get our dog to walk on a leash without pulling in the first visit. We had tried 3 other trainers from different facilities without luck. I would highly recommend Holly for any dog training issues. Much better understanding of how to work with our dog.
Holly is amazing! We received so much help just in the first 15 minutes of talking with Holly and explaining why our dog is acting the way they are and all the light bulbs started going off that explain the behaviors. The training was great and there was progress right away. The way bark busters trains is 100% the way to go!
Holly was great, she helped us so much and I really think as the training goes forward our dogs will get the care they need.
In 2 hours I was fully trained and my dog was happier! A million thanks!
I am speechless! Holly and Bill are truly miracle workers. Within one hour of them meeting our two dogs, we saw immediate improvement! My 11 year old Puggle, Red, has always been reactive and stubborn. He wasn’t getting along with our new puppy and we were worried that he would hurt her. Holly and Bill helped us get our dogs to respect one another and listen to my husband and I. I thought that because Red is an older dog it would be hard to train him, but I was very wrong. I can’t express how grateful I am to Bill and Holly and how much I recommend their training. It’s the first time in years that I’ve had hope for my dog. Thank you Bark Busters!
They are amazing! Truly speechless with their work. We had been struggling with introducing our puppy to our 11 year old dog and within one hour of training they were respecting eachother in our home! I highly recommend these guys! Bill and holly are such great people and are so easy to work with. I am going to tell everyone I know with dogs to get training done with them! I got so excited by seeing how good my dogs are doing together now that I get excited of thinking of our next sessions in the future!
After just a one hour session my husband and I were amazed at the difference our dogs had made!! We are very excited to continue with the training and already seeing a huge difference!! Just after our first session!! ???
Holly is the best trainer! She was able immediately start training us to be better parents for Alyx. Her ability to read our puppies behavior then set us up with how to handle said behavior was fantastic. We’ve seen quick improvements with Alyx and the homework has been excellent continued success. Alyx is still the same happy and energetic puppy, but, she’ll listen better and has been calmer. Thank you Holly, we can’t wait to see you again!
Great experience and truly eye-opening. Looking forward to learning more.
Holly saved my dog’s life. He is an 11 year old tripod with epilepsy and extreme anxiety and we thought it would be impossible to blend him into a family with two large untrained boundary-pushing dogs. Within ONE HOUR of learning from Holly and all 5 of us (3 dogs and 2 humans) could relax for the first time in what feels like forever. The support she gave and the lessons we learned have given us more than we could thank her for. I never thought the harmony in our home was possible and now it’s like they’ve been waiting for each other their whole lives. Thank you will never be enough, Holly. I get more time with my soul pup and trust back with Maverick and Belle.
Holly is amazing! Who knew that 1 word could be so life changing. Our home is much quieter! And I’m not frustrated with my dog everyday! I’m happy with the progress we’ve made. And it’s only been 3 days!
We’ve only done the first session so far, but what a difference it’s made. We had an issue with our dogs not listening well and acting out, and in the short time that Holly was over we saw a huge difference in the way our dogs responded to us. Improvements come every day with the daily homework, and we are very much looking forward to continuing our sessions with Holly and BarkBusters
I have completely new dogs.. I’m way more confident which makes my dog more happy and confident. My husband missed the first session but noticed a huge difference in our 2 males the moment he walked in thru front door.
I’m impressed. I mean VERY impressed with Holly and Bark Busters. I am in the pet industry as was having so many problems with my dachshund barking and my Shar-peri chewing everything. In one session I had the tools to set them up for success AND calm my nerves!!! One session!! Thank you Holly!
