Meet Ankush Karwal

I’ve helped hundreds of families across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland resolve serious aggression issues. With many 5-star Google reviews, I’m proud to be one of Vancouver’s most trusted dog behaviourists and a go-to specialist for families dealing with aggressive dogs.

Dog aggression is one of the most stressful behaviour problems a family can face, and one of the most misunderstood. Many owners are told their aggressive dog can’t be helped, or that punishment is the answer. Neither is true.
After years of working with reactive, fearful, and aggressive dogs, I know that the right communication-based approach can transform even the most challenging cases.

As a certified Behaviour Therapist, I specialize in dog-to-dog aggression, aggression toward people, resource guarding, territorial behaviour, and leash reactivity. Every case starts with understanding why your dog is aggressive – fear, frustration, pain, or poor communication, and then teaching you the techniques to change it.

Training happens in your home, where the aggression actually occurs. No group classes, no stressful car rides. Just real results in the environment that matters most. Many families see a visible change during the first 2 to 2.5 hour session.

Did you know that each Bark Busters trainer & certified behaviour therapist is required to pass an aggressive dog safety program that keeps hundreds of trainers safe worldwide. All trainers are required to understand different types of dog aggression, fear and trauma, and know how to approach each situation calmly and safely. You are always in good hands with Bark Busters!

We Understand How Scary
Dog Aggression Can Be

You love your dog, but their aggression is affecting your entire family:

  • You’re afraid your dog might bite a visitor, a child, or another dog
  • Walks have become impossible — your dog lunges, barks, and pulls toward every dog or person
  • You can’t have guests over because your dog growls, snaps, or shows teeth
  • Mealtimes are tense because your dog guards food bowls, toys, or sleeping spots
  • You’ve been told your dog is “too aggressive” for group classes or daycare

     

    You’re not alone. Aggression is treatable — and we can help.

Why Our Approach Works Where Others Fail:

  • In-home training addresses aggression where it actually happens
  • No punishment, no physical force  – this makes aggression worse
  • Communication-based techniques that create lasting change
  • You learn to read and redirect your dog’s triggers
  • Visible improvement often in the first 2–2.5 hour session 
  • Lifetime Support Guarantee – you always have the help you need from Bark Busters.

Vancouver Families Who Overcame Dog Aggression With Ankush

“I will definitely suggest Bark Busters Canada. My trainer is Ankush. Yesterday we met him and had our first training with my dog, Comet who is almost 10 years old. Comet has bad behaviour and the main problem is his separate anxiety. After Ankush taught me and my husband some technique. It’s worked. I’ve never seen Comet is so calm and well behave. After the first meet up, Ankush booked the follow up appointment within a week to make sure we well train Comet. I would totally recommend Bark Busters.”

“Barking, Barking and Barking! ugh … Our 9-month pup high pitch barking was making us crazy and so stressed. (my husband had a heart attack and since then he is very sensitive to noise). I researched everything I could about barking we did so many things bark collars, taking her out of the room, muzzle, and this was our last try. We are literally blown away! We had one 2-2.5-hour session with Ankush and his team and we were so happy with the tools and success. It’s amazing how we as the pet owners need to be trained. It is a process however we see a huge difference already. We have a new dog. Yippee!!!!”

Dog Aggression Training FAQs

How much does training cost?

We offer a one-time fee that includes your initial assessment, dog training sessions, and lifetime support. Pricing depends on your specific needs. Contact us on the form above for an accurate quote.

How quickly will I see results?

Most clients see noticeable improvement during the first session. As Mabel shared, “I’ve never seen Comet so calm and well behaved” after just one session. Long term habits take consistency, don’t forget! We schedule follow up appointments to suit your dog’s needs, and help you! Your lifetime guarantee means you always have the support you need.

Do you train all breeds and ages?

Yes! We’ve successfully trained puppies to senior dogs and all breeds. No dog is too old or too stubborn to learn.

What if my dog is aggressive? Is training safe?

Aggression is one of our specialties. Each Bark Busters trainer is trained on our unique “Stand Rite No Bite” system, and must pass a test to make sure they know how to safely approach aggressive situations. We use safe, effective communication techniques, and coach the humans on how to address the root cause of aggression to create lasting change.

Why in-home training instead of group classes?

Dogs behave differently at home, where they’re most comfortable and where problems actually occur. In-home training addresses the exact behaviors causing you stress, in the exact setting where they happen.

What does "lifetime support" really mean?

You can call us anytime – weeks, months, or years later – for advice or follow-up sessions. There’s no time limit. We’re here for the life of your dog.

Do I need special equipment like bark collars?

We do not use any form of shock collar during aggressive dog training. The Bark Busters Vancouver dog trainer will assess and advise you on what your specific dog will need. You do not need to go buy anything ahead of time.

How long are training sessions?

The initial session is typically 2-2.5 hours. This gives us time to assess your dog, teach you effective techniques, and start seeing results immediately. Follow-up sessions are typically an hour.
