About Bark Busters Treasure Coast

In-home training on the Treasure Coast

Bark Busters Treasure Coast provides personalized, in-home dog and puppy training from Vero Beach across the Treasure Coast, including Port Saint Lucie, Stuart, Palm City and Jupiter. It is led by professional trainer Orlando Rivera, who lives in Fort Pierce with his wife Zora and their Maltese, Sugar. Orlando moved into dog training after a long career in private banking and worked alongside fellow Bark Busters trainers Marc and Karen Deppe for many years.

How it works

Orlando comes to the client's home, where the dog's behavior actually happens, and builds a plan around the dog's needs and the family's goals. The Treasure Coast team describes its methods as natural and dog-friendly, and training is backed by a life-of-dog support guarantee.

Issues covered

Work ranges from puppy training and basic obedience to barking, leash pulling, jumping, reactivity, separation anxiety, aggression, biting, chewing, digging, housebreaking, marking, new baby preparation, running away and tension between household dogs.

What owners say

One client wrote that during a three-hour session Orlando had her "work with Riley 95% of the time so we could build a strong team."
