About Bark Busters Home Dog Training Greater Nashville

Bark Busters Home Dog Training Greater Nashville is a local territory of an international in-home training network, run here by two named trainers, Stacey Noble and Shane Wagner. All training happens in your home.

What you can book here

In-home dog training, dog behavior training, puppy training, and the Stand Rite No Bite dog safety program. The behavior list on the Nashville page is long and specific: aggression, adjusting to a new home, barking, biting, chewing, destruction, digging, focus and listening, housebreaking, improving confidence, jumping, leash pulling, marking, new baby preparation, obsessiveness, respecting other pets, running away, separation anxiety, and sibling rivalry or in-house tensions and fights. A free behavioral quiz and a free consultation are the entry points; ask about prices at the consultation. The territory also runs a seasonal push on noise phobia, working on fireworks and storm anxiety before the season rather than during it.

Method – and the honest caveat

The method is described as natural, dog-friendly communication rather than reward-based training, backed by a network guarantee called Life of Dog Support. One client review published on the page says the quiet part out loud, which is genuinely useful here: "I went into this training with an open mind but was skeptical when I heard it wasn't reward based training." If a reward-based program is what you are set on, establish that on the consultation call. Another review notes the trainer "uses no shock collars nor prong collars."

Who the trainers are

Both came out of veterinary medicine. Stacey Noble studied veterinary assisting at Pima Medical Institute in Colorado Springs and graduated in 2007, worked as a veterinary technician with a stated focus on "the aggressive and fearful animals", moved to Tennessee in 2015 and trained as a Bark Busters trainer and behavioral therapist. Shane Wagner has nearly 18 years as a vet tech, graduated from the Vet Tech Institute in Chicago, and in 2020 "became certified in Fear Free and Low-Stress Handling techniques"; he has lived in the Nashville area for most of his life.
