Home Dog Training Ipswich & Puppy Behaviour

Welcome to dog training Ipswich, my name is Tim, and I am your local Bark Busters dog behaviourist, therapist and trainer. Dogs see the world in a very different way to us humans, so it's understandable we sometimes find that the dog we hoped would be a great addition to the family, has become a confused unruly, noisy, destructive, or seemingly unpredictable. It sometimes seems that our dogs are defiant or trying to push the boundaries. They are just seeing the world in a canine way, so it's important for us to understand them and why they act this way before we can help to change their unwanted behaviour.

My training is fast, effective and has long lasting results. I come to you, where your dog will be less stressed, and we develop a manageable and personalised training plan for you and your dog's specific issues. I continue to support you "free of charge" for the term you purchase. Our unique Bark Busters Support Guarantee gives you peace of mind that I will return to visit you, at no additional cost, when you need ongoing help and support. No other dog training company provides the support guarantee that we offer. Do check our reviews and testimonials for confirmation.

If you are looking for professional dog training near you in Ipswich, then you have found the right place. My training system resolves behaviours like separation anxiety, aggression, sibling rivalry, excess barking, pulling on the lead, recall problems, chewing and destruction, toileting problems, jumping up and much more. These are common issues for many dog owners, but the causes behind each dog reacting in this way, is very individual to each dog and owner.

Sometimes canine personality, breed, previous experiences, or age will have an effect.  That's why I take as full a history as possible, so that we can assess the causes behind the behaviour and then choose the perfect training programme. My techniques have helped many clients improve their relationship with their dogs.

If you are not enjoying your dog all the time, there is a tendency for us manage the problems rather than find the best way to resolve them. Human and dog lives can be improved with the right approach using gentle, fun training techniques that replicate real life situations resolving problems that are currently impacting your enjoyment with your dog.

The Bark Busters techniques have developed and been adapted for over 35 years, by the many therapists and trainers worldwide, leveraging voice tone and body language that dogs naturally use. It is great to see clients watch their dog changing in front of their eyes, into focused and responsive members of the family, often at the first lesson.  It's lovely working with experienced dog owners as well, and the anxious people bringing home a new puppy or rescue dog for the very first time to join the family. Showing them how to ensure their new family member has the very best start in life.

About me
I grew up in London, and over the years my family had a variety of black Labradors as family pets. Once my education finished, for many years, I travelled and earned my living overseas as a self-employed member of the tourist industry, but sadly my job prevented me from having a dog, lacking the time and attention that it would deserve. After moving back home, close to family, I settled in my own home and Hazel a chocolate Labrador puppy came into my life.  She grew to be a large strong puller and destroyed so much of my home, I often despaired of being able to enjoy her fully! How I wish I'd known about the Bark Busters training in her early years. She is now an elderly lady and is happy to sleep, eat (she is a Labrador after all) and enjoy gentle exercise.

I've always had an affinity for all animals and have been a volunteer with the RSPCA, walking dogs, cleaning out pens and kennels, often sad at the number of animals that needed help.  Another charity that I work with, helps owners who are struggling to keep their domestic pets due to illness or the cost of living. However, providing help, assistance, advice, vet care and behaviour training, many people can keep their beloved pet after all.

My own home houses a variety of rescue animals so Hazel and I have various small furry and feathered friends that keep us busy.

If you are having any problems, I can help you. Our motto is Any Dog, Any Age, Any Problem. Puppies, adult dogs, or a needy rescue, I can tailor make a programme to suit you. So please do make contact for a no obligation chat to find out how I can help.
