FirstBarkDiane and John have been great to work with. They are professional and extremely knowledgeable. We have a German Shepherd with a lot of adrenaline. We have learned so much from them. Our Shepherd has done excellent under this training program and I highly recommend them.

John and Diane have been a wonderful help in addressing a sibling rivalry that developed between our current dog and new puppy.
We decided to get a puppy 2 months before we our first baby's due date. After the first few days of having the puppy, we were on the fence to re-home our Golden Doodle puppy Rose.

We decided to get a puppy 2 months before we our first baby's due date. After the first few days of having the puppy, we were on the fence to re-home our Golden Doodle puppy Rose. We didn't want to see her go, and we found Bark Busters Lake Norman with Diane and John. We decided to give training a shot to see if we could better help Rose. Diane and John came to our house and immediately we felt like there was hope for us and Rose. Diane and John helped us understand the different behaviors Rose was having and how to correct her bad behaviors. We felt much more confident in training Rose. We have called and texted Diane several times in between our visits and she always responses quickly with clarity and helpful information. I would 100% recommend the training program with Diane and John!! They are extremely helpful and personable! As well, the training program is affordable and great value! If you are on the fence of re-homing your puppy, give Diane and John a call and they will help you!

This is your sign to hire Diane and John ASAP. We have had ONE session with our German Shepard mix and it’s amazing at how much she has changed in only 2 weeks! If only we had sought out training years ago. Our lives have changed for the better and I can’t thank Diane and John enough. They are thorough and kind. They really help you understand the why of what you’re doing and how to really understand what does through your dogs mind. I can’t wait for our next session!
John and Diane are amazing! After an awful experience with another dog trainer, we were very hesitant to try another service, especially one where we have to pay up front.

John and Diane are amazing! After an awful experience with another dog trainer, we were very hesitant to try another service, especially one where we have to pay up front. All I have to say is if you hire Bark Busters Lake Norman, you won't be disappointed! After 2 weeks of working with our pups, they are like different dogs. Their reactivity to other dogs, barking, and other behavioral issues are getting better each day! Their system is so simple, yet effective! Its based on establishing yourself as the leader of the pack, and your dogs immediately respond. We are just getting started with John and Diane, but I am confident that we'll continue to make progress. Thank you both for providing your services!
