Tell Us About Your Dog

Every Dog Has a Story. Let's Understand Yours.

Maybe your dog barks at visitors, pulls on walks, struggles when left alone, or has developed behaviors that are making everyday life stressful. Perhaps you're welcoming a new puppy or trying to help a rescue dog settle into your home.

Whatever you're experiencing, understanding the reason behind your dog's behavior is an important first step toward meaningful change.

Understand Your Dog

Learn what may be contributing to your dog's behavior and how to communicate more clearly.

Create Calmer Routines

Build a Stronger Bond

Training That Comes to You.

Your dog lives in your home, not in a training facility. That's why we work with you and your dog in your own environment, where everyday behaviors happen.

Scott and Holly provide personalized, one-on-one, in-home dog training designed around your dog's behavior, your family's needs, and your goals.

“From 10 minutes alone to calmly staying home for 4 hours”

Holly and Scott with Bark Busters have been amazing from our very first conversation. We adopted a one-year-old rescue and knew very little about his history. On our first attempt to leave him alone so we could go to work, we quickly realized he had severe separation anxiety.

Scott came to our home for an in-person session, and it was incredibly eye-opening. He taught us so much about their training philosophy and approach. We left that session feeling hopeful and fully committed to the process.

After working the program for a while, I hit a wall. I was frustrated, discouraged, and honestly starting to feel hopeless. I texted Scott, and Holly immediately reached out to schedule a one-hour phone session. She gave me new tools, fresh insight, and the confidence to keep going.

We stayed consistent and committed to the training for about five weeks, and then everything started to click. By following our dog's pace and never pushing him beyond what he was ready for, he went from being able to handle only 10 minutes alone to calmly staying home for 4 hours—all within a week of breakthrough progress.

Today, our little guy is a completely different dog. He can be left home alone calmly, walks beautifully on a leash, and truly gets to enjoy being part of our family. Watching his confidence grow has been incredible, and it's all thanks to the guidance and support we received.

Holly and Scott truly put their whole hearts into what they do. You can tell they care deeply about both the dogs and the people they're helping. It was especially reassuring to talk with Holly, who has personally experienced separation anxiety with her own dog. She genuinely understood what we were going through, and that empathy made all the difference.

On top of that, their lifetime guarantee gives us so much peace of mind. Knowing we have continued support if we ever need it is invaluable.

We are so grateful for Holly and Scott and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for compassionate, knowledgeable trainers who are truly invested in helping both dogs and their owners succeed.

“From extremely reactive to happier, confident & empowered”

Working with Holly & Scott has genuinely changed our lives with Niko. Before training, he was extremely reactive and easily triggered, and we often felt like we were managing his behavior rather than understanding him. It was stressful, and there were times when we wondered if we would ever be able to enjoy life with him the way we wanted to.

What made the biggest difference was that Holly & Scott didn't just train our dog—they trained us. They taught us how to communicate with Niko, understand his behavior, set boundaries, advocate for him, and confidently handle situations that used to feel overwhelming. We went from feeling frustrated and unsure to feeling empowered and capable.

Niko's transformation has been incredible, but so has the transformation in our relationship with him. He's happier and more confident, and we're able to enjoy so many things together that once felt impossible. He's still our goofy, wonderful Niko, but we now have the tools and understanding to help him succeed.

Holly & Scott genuinely care about the dogs and the people. They never judged us, celebrated every little win, and gave us the knowledge and confidence to continue the work on our own. We are so incredibly grateful for everything they've done for our family. If you're struggling with your dog, I cannot recommend them enough. The training works—but more importantly, they teach you how to keep making progress long after the sessions are over. ❤️🐾
