I hired Bark Busters of Lake Norman to help with my 6-year-old pit bull who has struggled with resource aggression and even bit me in the past. From the very first session, their professionalism, confidence, and calm approach immediately put both me and my dog at ease. In just two meetings, they helped correct behaviors I’ve been dealing with for years — including food aggression, jumping, and difficult leash walking. Their techniques were clear, effective, and tailored specifically to my dog’s personality. What impressed me most was how quickly my dog responded once I was shown the right way to guide him. They don’t just train the dog — they teach you how to build trust, set boundaries, and lead in a way your dog understands. The improvements have been incredible, and I’m already seeing a happier, more confident dog at home. I highly recommend this company to anyone dealing with behavioral issues, big or small. Their knowledge and guidance have made a massive difference for us, and I’m truly grateful for their help.

Worked with John and Diane over the last 5 years now. They are incredible! We had several challenges with our 75lb Australian Shepherd. They worked patiently with us and Louie to get him to work within our family of 5. Without John and Diane we probably would have had to rehome Louie. If you are looking for training, integration, or behavior correction, don’t think twice in working with them.

Biggest waste of money. They just have you scream “bah” at your dog and spray them with a water bottle.

Diane and John are very patient with our dogs and us. Our puppy is much more integrated in our home due to their hands on approach.

When we first got our dog, Milo, he had just turned 1 and was not trained very well. We used Bark Busters Lake Norman to establish some methods to get him to behave better, and it helped tremendously! Milo would not be nearly as well behaved as he is today if it weren't for Bark Busters.
