Puppy & Dog Training Guildford, Surrey

Welcome to dog training Guildford, I am Jacquie Callaby your local Bark Busters dog behaviour therapist and trainer, and I have been helping dogs and their owners for over 18 years. In that time, I have helped thousands of dogs and their owners overcome behaviour problems from pulling on the lead or barking to some of the worst behaviour problems such as aggression and sibling rivalry.

My dog takes me for a walk! My dog's stressing me out! My dog's barking and now the neighbours have complained! I feel I've lost control! These are just some of the comments I hear from dog owners time and time again, but it doesn't have to be the case. Every day I see clients who have tried many different training techniques, and they are still at the wrong end of the lead. Thankfully they have now taken back the control and both dog and owner are no longer stressed thanks to the Bark Busters training techniques.

I will help you deal with simple problems or more difficult behaviour issues. I will tailor the training to your dog and you, demonstrating how and why your dog's behaviour will change.  You will have the opportunity to practise these training skills while I'm there so that you are confident that you can continue with the programme before I leave.

If you are looking for dog training near you in Guildford, then you have come to the right place. Whether you have welcomed a rescue dog, or a new puppy, added another dog to your family and issues have developed, or looking for general obedience training, I can help show you how time, patience, consistency, and your newly learned kind and calm methods of speaking their language, will allow you to understand your dog's behaviour and have the methods to redirect them to the wanted behaviours you seek.

My support guarantee means that I will return, free of charge, to assist you in your progress for the duration you purchase. I cover all dog behaviour problems, pulling, separation anxiety, chewing, jumping, biting, recall, chasing and much more, and I will show you how to take control and have a happy, well-balanced dog. 

About me

I lived with dogs during my childhood as my grandmother and mother ran a grooming and boarding kennels. I was kept very busy during my school holidays, enjoying helping to walk and play with the dogs, and to clean out the kennels. I even qualified for Junior Handling for Crufts with a lovely Boxer dog called Flake; I didn’t win, but I have lovely memories.

As an adult, I worked in banking for several years, but was given the option to accept redundancy so had time to decide what I wanted to do.  I decided to turn my back on office work and looked for work involving my first love of dogs.

Having found Bark Busters, I recognised that everything they said made perfect sense with it comes to dog training and behaviour. Tailor made one to one training with dogs and families in their own homes, at convenient times, straight forward instructions, and no long hours of training time. Most of the training is incorporated within daily walks or setting aside just 15 minutes daily, even in small 5-minute sessions. Having undertaken my in-depth Bark Busters training, I set to work all those years ago to help humans and dogs live together in harmony. Even now I still love what I do and am very passionate about my vocation.

Soon after joining Bark Busters, Miller found me! He was a very handsome Sprocker who had jumping up and mouthing issues, so I had plenty of work practicing my newfound skills.  He was with me until age 15 and was a real character. I now have two mini–Dachshunds, Harley age 4 and Pepper age 3.  They are both very personable dogs, and both go to Hoopers, a flat agility course running through hoops and performing scent work.  Harley very cheekily tries to "mark" a scent that’s not there to get his reward. 

If you are struggling with any aspect of your dog's behaviour, looking to give your puppy the best start in life, or looking for general obedience training, don't hesitate to call to start your new happy life with your dog.
