Kyli Horton
Behaviour Therapist & Trainer
I joined Bark Busters because of my lifelong passion for dogs and a strong background in the animal care industry. My experience includes working as a kennel attendant in a veterinary clinic, serving as an animal behaviouralist with Animal Services in Alberta, and several years in the pet food industry.
I’ve been lucky enough to share my life with an American Bulldog named Mawley, a French Mastiff named Penelope and a Lab named Denver.
My mission with Bark Busters is to educate and empower dog owners with practical, effective training methods that lead to lasting behaviour change and stronger bonds—so families and their dogs can enjoy a long, happy life together.
What I love about my job
Training a dog can be such a fun and rewarding experience for everyone in the family, especially for the dog! As our best friends, companions and playmates, dogs play such an important role in our lives. They love us endlessly, and can also teach us some of life’s greatest lessons. I love empowering clients, helping them to clearly and concisely communicate with their dogs and providing the foundation for a happy lifelong relationship.
Why I became a dog trainer
During my time with Animal Services, I saw many dogs lose their lives due to behavioural issues that were completely fixable with the right guidance and support. Those experiences inspired my commitment to helping dogs and their owners build better relationships.
My areas of expertise include:
- Puppy training
- Separation anxiety in dogs
- Stopping excessive barking
- Dog aggression and aggression toward humans
- Leash training, including leash pulling
- Stopping dogs from jumping on people
- Food aggression in dogs and resource guarding
- Reactive dog training
- General obedience training
- And more…
In the first meeting, we learned more about our individual dog, ways to communicate with her and how she is communicating with us. We are so impressed with our dog’s responses and aptitude. Thank you Sam for helping us understand our pup better. We are excited about watching her reach her full potential.
