Testimonials
This is where we wish our four-legged friends could talk.
But these proud parents will do.
“Working with Erin has reduced my stress level so much because I know what I’m doing. I’ve come to understand how to read Sam's body language and signals, and it makes a huge difference.”
– Heather Dawson
“I’ve had previous experience with trainers who use pinch collars and minimal treats – not much positive reinforcement. Erin listens to your issues and identifies easy training solutions. It’s all positive and, most important, it works.”
– Deb Johnson
“We needed to know how to get Oakley’s attention and that he’d come when called. In her first encounter with Oakley, Erin bent down and said his name, and he went right to her. There’s something wonderfully calming about Erin.”
– Kelly Thoemke

Helping You and Your Dog
At Barktastic Behavior, we teach you how to communicate with your dog.
And we teach your dog how to “get” what you’re saying.
Your dog really just wants one thing: to be with you and to please you.
But dogs often don’t understand what we want.
Owners talk, but dogs don’t get it.
Barktastic takes the verbal out of it.
Through clear communication that dogs understand
and positive reinforcement,
we teach you how to get the behavior you want without being aversive –
never having to tug on a leash or yell.
“He’s never this good at home!" some owners say when they start with Barktastic.
The truth is, he IS this good!
Let us show you how it’s all within reach - once your dog is Barktastic-trained!
What To Expect
What should you expect when you start training with Barktastic?
How’s this for starters?
By the end of most dog’s first sessions,
they’ll usually be lying on their mat or calmly giving their human attention.
What will happen in your lives?
Life will be less frustrating. Life will be more peaceful.
Life will be more fun!
Daily living will be more enjoyable for you – and her.
She’ll be the happy companion you want – and you’ll be the gratified dog owner you’ve always envisioned yourself being.
