Give Your Puppy a Great Start!

Puppies need guidance to develop good manners and a well-balanced temperament. Just like infants and toddlers, they are constantly learning from their environment. That’s where you come in! While much of a puppy’s early socialization happens with their mothers and litter-mates in the first 12 weeks, you play a crucial role in reinforcing proper behavior and setting the foundation for lifelong obedience.

Puppy Fundamentals

Bark Busters offers at-home puppy training designed to build a foundation of trust and respect in a familiar setting. Our expert puppy trainers focus on essential skills such as crate training, potty training, and leash training. With personalized puppy obedience training, we can help ensure your puppy develops positive habits from the start.

Get Started Today!

Bark Busters’ Puppy Management and Training Program provides you everything you need for effective puppy training at home. Whether you’re searching for “puppy training near me” or need puppy training private sessions, our tailored approach addresses common challenges like nipping, chewing, barking, and jumping.

Puppy training can begin just days after your puppy settles into their new home, but keep in mind that young puppies tire quickly—some lessons may be explained rather than demonstrated during the initial session.

Invest in your puppy’s future with proven, in-home training that works! Contact us today and get started.

Tips for Every Dog - Why Training?

All dogs need some form of training and education. Love is vital to the bond you and your dog share, but on its own and without all the other elements of a strong relationship, your dog won’t feel fully fulfilled.

Toilet Training Basics

There’s no way around it: potty training is vital for pet owners and dogs. Establishing a toilet training routine with puppies (usually at around three months old) requires time, effort, and consistency to yield results, but the benefits are well worth it.

I would describe myself as highly dog knowledgable so I am VERY particular about the methods used by trainers. To each their own, but e-collars, prongs, etc are band-aids (or worseners) for most problems since most dog-owners don't really understand the timing/utility of these tools enough to ween off of them at any point. If your dog is a 100/10 lunatic, then I guess I get it :| Anywho, I was honestly shocked to learn they don't even rely on clickers or treats, just straight up dog behavior and psychology, yet have the reviews they have. Here's my summary. I am only 2 days post training, have received a…
