Struggling with your dog’s bad behavior?
Puppy training has you exhausted and frustrated?
Severe dog behavior has you stressed and scared?
My name is Doug Rountree and assure you that you do not need to struggle with your dog’s behavior alone. We can get to the root of the issue and resolve all your dog behavior issues efficiently, effectively, and kindly. Since 2006, I have had the pleasure of successfully training thousands of dogs throughout the Louisville and Southern Indiana areas. Bark Busters methods will help you overcome virtually ANY dog behavior issue and help to restore peace in your household.
Reaching your goals, solving your dog’s behavior problems, and delivering excellent client service is what my home dog training business is all about. Contact me today!
Most behavioral issues are learned based on both experiences and environment. That’s why in home dog training is so effective because this is where most behavioral issues occur and it’s where your dog feels the safest. Because your dog can’t speak English and you can’t “speak dog” many miscommunications occur. At Bark Busters, we can teach you how to communicate with your dog in a language he understands.
