About Bark Busters Home Dog Training Columbia North

What they offer

Bark Busters Home Dog Training Columbia North is the Columbia, South Carolina territory of the Bark Busters franchise. Its page offers in-home dog and puppy training for any breed or age, with a training plan built around each dog and sessions held in the owner's home on the owner's schedule. The behavior issues it lists include aggression, barking, biting, chewing, digging, housebreaking, jumping, leash pulling, marking, running away, separation anxiety, tension between dogs in the same house and getting a dog ready for a new baby.

Approach

The page describes a method built on respect, leadership and trust rather than food bribes or harsh physical corrections. It teaches owners the natural communication dogs understand and works on problems in the places they happen. Under the franchise's Gold Service, the local trainer stays available for help at any point in the dog's life at no additional cost.

Who runs it

The page names Heather Crawford as the local trainer and dog behavioral therapist for the Greater Columbia area, covering in-home training from Lake Wylie and Clover to Lake Murray. She describes herself as a South Carolina native who attended college in Columbia, worked in healthcare for more than 25 years and volunteers at the local Humane Society.
