Dog Training Coventry & Home Puppy Behaviour Classes
Welcome to dog training Coventry, my name is Emma Barrett, and I am your local Bark Busters dog behaviourist therapist and trainer. Many years ago, becoming a Bark Busters dog behaviour therapist became my dream job and I love what I do, helping people like you, who are searching for help for their furry family member. I am an accredited Bark Busters Grand Master Dog Behaviour Therapist and Trainer, and it is very rewarding, helping people with their dog's behaviour such as aggression, lead pulling, separation anxiety, recall, nuisance barking, jumping up or helping settle in a rescue dog or a new puppy.
I develop a personalised training plan and I work with you on a one-to-one basis in your home, garden, or your local area where you are experiencing problems outside the home. I work with everyone involved in your dog's life and all family members are welcome too. I will observe and assess the behaviour problems that are concerning you, explain why the behaviour is happening and teach you how to rehabilitate your dog. I will demonstrate the techniques needed and we will practice them so that you have the confidence to carry on with the simple daily training routine. My training leverages simple communication techniques such as voice tones, body language and fun training games, that dogs quickly understand as part of their natural instinct.
If you are looking for professional dog training near you in Coventry, then you have found the right place. Most of my clients see a big change during the very first lesson. With the Bark Busters unique Life of the Dog or 12 months Support Guarantee, and by practicing the ongoing daily training, you will have the peace of mind in knowing that I will return free of charge to support you further for any existing, or any future behaviour issues that arise.
If you have a large German Shepherd, a little Chihuahua or one of the many "doodles", a rescue dog or a new puppy, and you are not enjoying your dog 100% of the time, please contact me for a no obligation chat to hear how I can help you.
About me
As a child, I longed to have a dog of my own, but with working parents, I realise now, that it really wasn't possible. However, once I was on my own, I got my first dog, a rather gorgeous Labrador. Over the years I have had lots of working breed dogs, Springer Spaniels, Cocker Spaniels and other Labradors who luckily were all easy to train and who thoroughly enjoyed my weekend and holiday working games, using their innate skills to the full.
I wasn't enjoying my career in the corporate world, and I felt that I was not using my love of dogs. I therefore studied and qualified as a dog groomer and set about pampering customers' lovely pets every day. I was eager to learn as much as possible about the dogs in my care so read and researched all I could about dog psychology. As my understanding grew it helped enormously with nervous or reactive dogs that came to me for grooming. I was able to get previously impossible dogs, accepting nail clipping and grooming and noisy drying too.
Many of my customers would tell me about other behaviour problems their dogs had, and I was able to share my knowledge, experience and understanding with them. I was always delighted when customers reported back to me that the advice and tips I had given, had helped them with their dog's challenging behaviour.
As a result, I began looking for opportunities to become a full-time canine behaviourist. I wanted to have an even more positive effect with customers and their dogs knowing how upsetting it can be when humans and dogs stop being happy with each other. That's when I found Bark Busters, a successful business for over 35 years whose methods were aligned with my own understanding of how to get the best out of a dog, using calm, kind voice tones and body language. Their approach was assessing the reasons "why" before starting the "how" to rehabilitate the unwanted behaviours. I became a Bark Busters therapist and trainer and it's a decision I've never regretted.
If you are looking for puppy training classes near you, then why not consider my home training. Group training classes can be very stressful for your pup and if they become disruptive in the classes you can often be asked to leave. My lessons are informative and provides puppies with the very best start in life.
My home puppy classes cover topics such as:
- Best toileting habits
- Appropriate feeding and good food manners
- Recall - coming when called
- Gate and door control
- Sit, stay and down training
- Correct holding of the lead and walking
- Walking to heel
- Distance control (staying with you when there are other distractions)
- How to successfully socialise your puppy
- How to de-sensitise, for example, vacuum cleaners and car travel etc…
- Protecting your puppy from being overwhelmed by people or other dogs
- Accustoming to handling, bathing and grooming
- Bad behaviour prevention and management, e.g. jumping up, mouthing, play biting and chewing etc…
