Meet Ankush Karwal
I’ve transformed hundreds of dogs across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. With over 150 Google reviews, I’m proud to be one of Vancouver’s most trusted and experienced dog trainers and a go-to dog behaviourist in Vancouver for families dealing with complex behaviour challenges.
Coming from a family of dog lovers, I understand both the joy and challenges of canine companionship. After witnessing several incidents that affected family members and friends, I became determined to help others build better relationships with their dogs through effective communication and proper training techniques.
As a full-time Behaviour Therapist, I specialize in alleviating the stress, frustration, and embarrassment that behaviour problems cause families. Whether you’re working through dog training for separation anxiety, navigating reactivity, or just getting started with crate training a new puppy, I provide the tools and guidance that create lasting results, not just temporary fixes.
My mission is simple: help dog owners understand their canine companions so they can enjoy relaxed, happy dogs. Whether you’re searching for a trusted dog trainer in Vancouver or need specialized support from an experienced dog behaviourist, I’m here to make that happen.
Nothing is better than seeing an owner truly understand their dog and watching that bond transform into something calm, confident, and joyful.
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 Heartbreaking
Separation Anxiety Can Be
You love your dog, but their separation anxiety is affecting your entire household:
- Your dog howls, barks, or cries non-stop the moment you leave – and your neighbours have started complaining
- You come home to destroyed furniture, scratched doors, or chewed-up belongings
- Your dog has injured themselves trying to escape crates, rooms, or windows
- You can’t even go to the bathroom without your dog panicking and following you
- You feel guilty leaving the house and have started rearranging your life around your dog’s anxiety
You’re not alone. Separation anxiety is treatable – and we can help.
Why Our Approach Works Where Others Fail:
- In-home training addresses anxiety where it actually happens
- No punishment, no physical force – we address the root cause
- 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.

Separation Anxiety 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?
What causes separation anxiety in dogs?
Separation anxiety can develop from changes in routine, moving to a new home, being rehomed or adopted, a change in family dynamics, or simply a lack of confidence. Some breeds are more prone to it. Regardless of the cause, our communication-based approach helps your dog build the confidence and independence they need to feel safe when you leave.
Why in-home training instead of group classes?
What does "lifetime support" really mean?
Will medication fix my dog's separation anxiety?
Medication alone rarely resolves separation anxiety. While a veterinarian may recommend medication for severe cases, training is essential to address the underlying behaviour. Bark Busters teaches your dog new coping skills and builds their confidence, which creates lasting change rather than masking symptoms.
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.
What areas do you serve?
