Hi.  My name is Sherri Barnes, Behaviour Therapist & Master Dog Trainer for Calgary West.  I am also Joey’s pack leader.  It hasn’t always been that way however.   I know what it’s like to feel like your dog is out of control.  The jumping, the barking, the destruction and lack of respect for me and my family nearly resulted in her re-homing.  Luckily I called Bark Busters and in one day, my dog became my well behaved companion and I just knew I had to become a Bark Buster myself.   It honestly wasn’t Joey; it was us and our lack of proper communication that caused Joey’s behaviours.

 That was about 600 dogs ago and now I am still enjoying the challenges and enjoyment in putting families back together with their canines.  In Home Dog training works fast because it is one on one, in the environment where you are experiencing the troubling behaviours that are resulting in increased stress of the dog and the family.   Age doesn’t matter when teaching a dog and an owner how to cohabitate together peacefully.  We will help any dog, any breed, any age, and any behaviour.

 Regardless of the issue or issues, our lifetime guarantee provides unlimited home visits to help you get any issue old or new under control again so you can enjoy your companion dog for years to come.  The methods are pet friendly and you will be amazed at how easy it is to train your own dog when you take into consideration your body language and tone of voice. 

 I’d be happy to chat with you about your case.  Please call us at 1-866-418-4584 so I can get you started with a balanced happy pack.

Review: I was very pleased with our first meeting. As I am a new dog owner, I feel that my training will require a few more visits. Bella however is responding very well to the technique that Sherri showed us. I look forward to being able to create the best family dog!!

Review: In 2 hours, we learned not only what was causing Clancy's undesirable behavior, but also how to change it. By us making a few simple changes in how we communicated with her, she has improved dramatically.
