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.

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

 

"Excellent 1st visit from Ben, he was calm and put both Billy and myself at ease, easy to follow techniques, cannot believe how quickly we managed Billy to walk well on a lead it is now a pleasure to take him for a walk, the barking is becoming less and looking forward to the next lesson with Ben"

Julie
Trainer: Ben Jordan

"Another great session with Sarah, we managed to walk our dog to heel within half an hour!! so pleased."

Imelda
Trainer: Sarah Coleman

"I was really pleased with how the first session with Alex went. I was feeling a bit despairing due to dog reactivity which was making walks really stressful. Alex discussed everything in great detail and went through some basic manners with my dogs as well as giving me a clear idea of what the whole family needed to do to improve things. I now feel much more positive and am looking forward to the next session."

Samantha
Trainer: Alex Fraser

"We found our first training lesson very informative and of great benefit. Kirsty was excellent, very calming in her approach. Such a lovely lady. Harvey is already responding well to his initial lesson topics. We are confident he will continue to improve and can’t wait for his next lesson."

Kim
Trainer: Kirsty Dudfield

"Our first session with Sarah was a game changer, we understand so much more which has made us generally so much happier and confident with our dog, finally gotten past feeling stuck which resulted in a decline in our dogs behavior, she's so much happier and calmer, the training so far has felt very manageable and achievable and look forward to progressing. Loved the advice on feeding and nutrition and again that was also another game changer for our dog. Overall we're over the moon, thanks Sarah!!"

Imelda
Trainer: Sarah Coleman

"Tim was absolutely amazing with our dog (Duncan). Within 10mins he was listening to Tim's commands I couldn't believe my eyes. The training schedule he gave us for Duncan has worked from day one."

Sue
Trainer: Tim

"In one session, Tim was able to correct my dog’s behaviour pretty much instantly and gave me the tool / tactic to use to achieve the same myself. So far, so good! She seems to have learnt a new habit through me being consistent, and seems much calmer."

Andrea
Trainer: Tim

"Tim was great at our home visit, nice and friendly bloke and you can tell he has a lot of knowledge about dogs! I was really nervous about Dorito being around him but it went so well and I can’t wait to see all the improvements! Would 100% recommend this company to anyone!"

Megan
Trainer: Tim

"Practical and down to earth techniques that were designed to fit around our lives rather than the other way round. Sharon is kind, calm and realistic and I’d fully and highly recommend her if you’re looking for a trainer. We had a dog that cried at the bottom of the stairs if I went to the loo, I now have a dog that comfortably stays on her own for 2 hours - absolute game changer."

Justine
Trainer: Sharon Chapman

"Tim explained what and why Reggie was acting the way he was and gave easy instructions on how to correct his behaviour. It’s only been a week but there has noticed a marked improvement"

Donna
Trainer: Tim
