Vancouver Dog Owners Just Like You Are Finally Enjoying Well-Behaved Dogs

“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!!!!”

FAQs

How much does training cost?

We offer a one-time fee that includes your initial
assessment, training sessions, and lifetime support. Pricing depends on your specific needs. Call 604-484-1941 for a free quote, or book a consultation to discuss your situation.

How quickly will I see results?

Most clients see noticeable improvement during the
first 2-2.5-hour session. As Mabel shared, “I’ve never seen Comet so calm and well behaved” after just one session. We schedule follow-up appointments within the first week to ensure continued progress.

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. We use safe, effective communication techniques – no punishment or dominance methods. We 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?

No! Our method uses simple communication techniques without gadgets.

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.

What areas do you serve?

We serve Vancouver, Richmond, Surrey, Delta, New Westminster, Langley, East Vancouver, Kitsilano, Shaughnessy, Ladner, Tsawwassen, White Rock, Abbotsford, and surrounding Lower Mainland areas.
