Do you know your dog has amazing potential, but you just can’t seem to find the right way to unlock it?
As one of the most highly trained dog training professionals in the Grand Rapids area, I can help you see significant improvement in your dogs’ behavior in the first three hour session and help you get the problem entirely under control in weeks.
My techniques focus on establishing clearer communication between you and your dog. This forges a more trusting relationship and is the key to unlocking your dog’s full potential.
Most behavioral issues are learned based on both experiences and environment. That’s why in home dog training is so effective because this is where most behavioral issues occur and it’s where your dog feels the safest. Because your dog can’t speak English and you can’t “speak dog” many miscommunications occur. At Bark Busters, we can teach you how to communicate with your dog in a language he understands.
