I am an animal lover with a soft spot for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Pets, especially dogs, have always been a huge part of my life. Their influence has most certainly helped to shape me into the person I am today. As someone that is a firm believer in no home being complete without a dog, I am excited to serve the Greater Tucson area and help families create lifelong bonds knowing they can tackle any situation with their furry loved-ones.
As a Bark Buster dog trainer and dog behavioral therapist, my goal is to provide the best possible dog training and/or puppy training for you, your dog, and your family. I want all of my clients to be able to share the kind of bond and relationship with their dog that I share with mine.
Being a dog lover means you want the absolute best for your dog because they are family. Every training session and every client will be met with compassion, patience, confidence, knowledge, and a positive attitude.

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.
