Bark Busters Phoenix - Dog Trainers - Goodyear, AZ
My name is Michelle Willey and I am a Master Trainer with Bark Busters Phoenix. I am thrilled to be joined in our business by my son, Connor. There are so many aspects of our job that we enjoy: helping people, meeting wonderful dogs, and most of all, we love opening a dog owner’s eyes to their dog’s true potential. We want you to live a happier life together with your dog!
Overcoming your dog's behavioral issues happens quickly with our natural training methods. Our training begins in your home, where you and your dog are most comfortable, and most of your issues arise. Our training is personalized to you and for your dog. We work together with you, guiding you to find the leadership and relationship with your dog that you both desire and deserve. The bond you will create with your dog is sealed in loyalty, respect, and trust.
We never employ harsh methods - like shock collars or prong collars. We don’t use tools like constant treats or clickers. Our dog-friendly methods rely on voice tones and body language to help you communicate with your dog and to help your dog to understand you!
As your Bark Busters dog trainers in the Greater Phoenix, we want our clients to understand that the gift of leadership is what their dog needs most from them. The kindest thing you can do for your dog is to provide for your pups core needs. When this goal is accomplished it makes for a balanced and well-adjusted dog that is void of many of the negative behavioral issues owners experience.
Most of our clients see results literally in the first training session. We provide instructions, feedback, homework, and plans for returning, if needed. We believe getting your dog on track is a team effort and it requires partnership from the dog owner, dog trainer, and your dog! Many clients have come to us after other types of training methods have failed. Don’t give up on your dog without working with us first. Bark Busters Home Dog Training has saved many dogs that would have gone to shelters, been rehomed, or been euthanized because of behavioral issues. Please contact me through Petworks. Have a great day!
