Dog Training in Your Home

An international company founded over 35 years ago and over 1 million dogs trained worldwide. Bark Busters trainers work directly with you in your own home to resolve behaviour problems and help with your general training needs. Of course, where problem behaviours happen outside your home, we work with you to resolve problems such as pulling, lunging, chasing and more severe problems such as aggression to other dogs, animals, or people.

Our approach works because it is based on how dogs naturally learn and communicate. Whether you have a puppy, adolescent or older dog, by ensuring they follow your cues and commands will help them navigate and thrive in the human world they live in.

35 Years, Training over 1 Million Dogs

Our training programmes consider the unique challenges you are facing, fostering a positive relationship between you and your dog. Our method enables you to build a lasting, emotional bond based on trust and respect, which in turn aids in overcoming the challenges with your dog. Bark Busters Home Dog Training behaviour therapists focus on dog owners too. We teach you how to communicate effectively with your dog so that you have the necessary tools to overcome any of your dog's behaviour problems. Our techniques work with any breed, any age and with any behaviour problem. You and your dog get one-to-one personal attention in your home, a tailored training plan for both you and your dog. Our support guarantee gives you the peace of mind that your trainer is here to help and support you for the life of your dog.

What our customers are saying

 

"So pleased with Gavins advice today. We started early as have a new puppy and Gavin gave us great starter advice and how to progress with her. I feel more confident now going forward and am looking forward to our next lesson."

Trainer: Gavin Chambers

"Emma came to us a month ago when our 2 dogs were fighting multiple times a day. We were having to separate them at all times and they couldn’t be trusted outside of their crates together. We were really worried we were going to have to rehome one of them, but with the training Emma put in place we really have noticed a difference. She taught us how to deal with when our dogs are misbehaving and told us about passive leadership and how to combat it. In the space of a month we’ve went from not being able to have our dogs in the same room to our dogs sleeping on the same bed and playing together. Emma’s guidance and the consistent training has massively improved our relationship with our dogs and, carrying on with the training, we can’t wait to see them grow even more! A big thank you to Emma, she is absolutely fantastic and we would highly recommend."

Becky
Trainer: Emma Barrett

"Kirsty has enabled us to have confidence that we can do what we set out to achieve (to give a permanent home to a 3 year old Rottweiler along with our existing dog). She listened in a non-judgemental way to the techniques we had been bumbling about trying! She enquired what we needed for our individual circumstances and enabled us to take control and be Peggy’s leader. She has already settled enormously and is accepting the new way of life. We have work to do on walks, but we realise that this will be an ongoing commitment on our part. Peggy is a happier dog (so is Doris) and we are much more confident."

Rachel
Trainer: Kirsty Dudfield

"Sharon was fabulous! She helped us with a number of issues with our two overexcited dogs and less than a week in, we are already seeing some improvements in their behaviour and manners. She spent a lot of time with each dog individually to observe their specific needs, as well as observing us to point out all the things we were doing that were counter productive and creating confusion for our dogs. The advice and lesson plan were really practical, very achievable, and it was great that she showed us how to do each command, game, routine to ensure we were doing them right. The amount of times we thought 'oh yes, that's obvious...now you've pointed it out' really brought home how our small actions were having huge impacts on our dogs. And we had lots of bad habits! We have now changed our dogs diets (they say thank you - they love it!), have a list of the new 'rules' and 'clear commands' pinned on the fridge (for us to read, not the dogs!), and have a daily training plan which is fun, easy to stick to and is seeing results. Things are still a work-in-progress, but I wish we'd brought Sharon in months ago. Highly recommend."

joanne
Trainer: Sharon Chapman

"Neil was absolutely brilliant. His help has proved invaluable to us. He understood our concerns and gave us the right help and information we needed to help Toby. So far this is proving correct and Toby is coming on very well. We are do pleased with the result and the help we received from Neil. Thank you very much."

Pat
Trainer: Neil Price

"Excellent first lesson, lots of information regarding behaviour, nutrition. When you’re told how to do things it’s a game changer!"

Catherine
Trainer: Liz Johnson

"I only wish that instead of buying copious amounts of toys, treats and beds when I first received my dog that I had found Barkbusters and bought the training right away. Gina has been absolutely brilliant. Very professional, very experienced, insightful, easy to understand and has already, after one session only, give me confidence and my home is much more relaxed. So far, no more being pinned down and feverishly licked, gone is the leg humping, I can now read and message friends in peace. Already things seem to be falling into place nicely with simple behavioural changes on my part. I’m very much looking forward to a more harmonious, happy and healthy relationship with my little dog. I am a first time dog owner and have already recommended Gina to 3 other dog owners."

Enfys
Trainer: Gina Williams

"Amazing. Freddie respond incredibly well. Everything was explained clearly; reason why Freddie has his behaviour issues and how we help him change."

Julie
Trainer: Kirsty Dudfield

"Kirsty explained what we were going to do in a easy manner that we could understand she also explained Bailey's mindset at the moment and how we are going to change it. The lessons we learned we easy to follow and Bailey is already learning and is improving his behaviour."

Leslie
Trainer: Kirsty Dudfield

"Kirsty made us feel relaxed and certainly Harley responded straight away to her commands. We found very quickly, that, Harley worked very well and Kirsty was very patient in explaining all of the aspects of the training that we would be doing. Harley took to the new K9 bridle and is now walking to heel extremely well. She also ignores ( in the main) other dogs and people walking past her. We have also changed her food to increase her protein intake in place of the higher carbohydrates feed she’s been on."
