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.

Life of Your Dog Support Guarantee

We believe in our methods and our 35 years of amazing results they have achieved, which is why Bark Busters offers our unique "Life of the Dog Support Guarantee". If you purchase our Gold Service, your trainer will continue to work with you, in your home and free of charge, to address new or any recurring behaviour problems, for the entire life of your dog.

What our customers are saying

 

"Kirsty was very friendly and professional. She took time to understand our dog’s history, issues and needs. Everything was clearly explained and demonstrated. We have seen a great improvement in our dog’s behaviour through understanding how our body language and vocal commands impact on his response."

Liz
Trainer: Kirsty Dudfield

"Kevin has totally transformed my dog, worth every penny. Within 10 minutes i was taught how to calm my hyperactive border terrier, and it worked! We even went to the cafe at the beach and not a peep out of him. Lots of work still to do but now i know how to do it. Brilliant."

Lisa
Trainer: Kevin McDonnell

"Such a difference in a month, incredible,"

"Sydney was great - thank you so much ! The difference in Tilly is incredible"

maria
Trainer: Sydney Coleman

"One week in after our initial assessment with Emma and improvements are certainly visible with our two spaniels, although we are fully aware we still have a way to go. We contacted Bark Busters for help with barking, rivalry with our spaniels, separation anxiety and recall off lead. Emma was highly informative and precise with advice given and it was noticeably clear that she has a lot of knowledge within this field. We could not believe that the three techniques she was to share with us would show results instantly. Advise was also given around food and the benefits of ‘raw’ feeding compared to dry. We have since introduced raw food to the diet (weaning from dry) and already they seem more satisfied and calmer. The 3hour initial assessment seemed to pass quickly but Emma was quick to reassure that she is contactable as and when needed. Here’s to the next session."

Trainer: Emma Barrett

"Fabulous trainer! Understanding! Would highly recommend!"

Denise
Trainer: Neil Price

"Thank you Kirsty, our first lesson with the girls was brilliant. Informative and reassuring your support encouragement and guidance gave me hope and confidence for the girls. I’ve been working daily with the girls this last week and can’t wait to continue with our next session."

Penny
Trainer: Kirsty Dudfield

"We were a bit sceptical at first but could not believe the difference within 2 hours of meeting Emma, we had the tools to change Micas behaviour. It was like we had a completely different dog. We are continuing Micas training and have seen a marked improvement in her behaviour and for this we cannot thank Emma enough."

Marie
Trainer: Emma Barrett

"Our first training session with Sharon was fantastic. She went through everything thoroughly and it was clear quite early on in the session it is us that needs the training! She was brilliant and listened to our concerns and issues and had a suggestion for everything."

Laura
Trainer: Sharon Chapman

"Lynn was fantastic 5 star. Explained in great detail about what we as dog owners need to do . Also explained about our dogs health and foods we should look at. Also about dog behaviour and how what we do efficiently can change his behaviour. Lynn has a definite passion for her job. Lynn thx you"
