Cannock Dog & Puppy Training & Behaviour Therapist

Welcome to dog training Cannock, my name is Tom Ryan your local Bark Busters dog behaviourist, therapist and trainer.  Over the years our lives have been full of dogs, and our current canine furry family are five rescue dogs who have found their forever home with us. Our interest and work with Bark Busters started a long time ago after seeking help for the behaviour of Coco, one of our rescue dogs, who although initially calm, began to show aggression, lunging at dogs and people and pulled so much on the lead, it was very concerning when trying to walk her.

After searching for professional help, I discovered Bark Busters who gave amazing support, changing Cocos behaviour into a relaxed and responsive dog and she became a pleasure to take out. I loved their methods of using voice and body language, observing how dogs communicate with each other, and the fun games were enjoyed by both me and her, whilst teaching impulse control and other wanted behaviours. With our newly learned methods it helped with other rescue dogs we adopted too.

I will teach you how to effectively communicate with your dog and to help them understand what you want from them. My training will help you to understand your dog, give you confidence with demonstrations and advice showing that you too can learn how to change your dog's behaviours to the ones you want, and how to control and eliminate the unwanted ones. Practicing daily and my ongoing support with the Bark Busters unique Support Guarantee, will ensure that I'm always on hand for additional help and support when you need it. You can look forward to having a dog that can be a tribute to you and live a happy contented life within your family.

I work with all breeds from small and large dogs, toy dogs, "doodles", pedigrees and cross breeds. I love helping with rescue dogs and puppies too. It is very rewarding helping dog owners like you, with a huge variety of issues from giving puppies the best start in life to helping with recall, pulling, jumping up, aggression, separation anxiety, nuisance barking and much more. 

Whether you are a first-time dog owner or an experienced one, and you and your dog are not happily enjoying each other's company, call me, regardless of your dog's age, breed or behaviour, to see how I can help you to have the dog you will love.

About me
I was born in the West Midlands and in later life I settled in South Staffordshire with my family, including four children. Bark Busters became part of my life as my wife and then my eldest offspring also became behaviour therapists.

After leaving school, I worked in a family-owned business learning how important customer service was, and eventually became the owner of a thriving, successful company. However, my mind was made up to become a dog training and behaviour therapist, due to a very sad incident involving Milo, my lovely chocolate labrador.  He was staying with a pet sitter whilst I was on holiday and due to no fault of the pet sitter, he slipped his collar and was involved in a road traffic accident, not surviving the horrible incident. Blaming myself for not training him better which could have prevented such an incident, I had "managed" a behavioural problem, or so I thought, instead of recognising that it could be eliminated with professional training.
