Preston Dog Training & Behaviour Therapist

Virtual Video Training 

Welcome to Bark Busters Home Dog Training Preston. Our training service in preston is delivered virtually, via remote video access, where we can resolve your training needs in a relaxed and open way and where I can provide you with an individual comprehensive training and behaviour therapy plan straight to you in the privacy and comfort of your home.

For over 35 years we have been full-time professional dog trainers and behaviour therapists, helping dogs and their owners to live in harmony and to understand each other. We have spent many years voluntarily supporting animal rescue centres to rehabilitate and help dogs in their care, to be ready to find loving new suitable homes.

Each training and behaviour plan that we provide is one to one and bespoke to you and your dog. Our service is tailored to your dog's specific behaviour problems or your training needs. We listen to you carefully and take the time to understand your own situation, your dog’s personality and your training needs and I will then explain why your dog is behaving in a certain way. We give you kind and effective techniques to help you guide your dog to be calmer and happier, for you to have mutual trust and confidence in each other, and to improve and nurture your relationship with your dog.

The initial virtual lesson is around two to three hours and the time will seem like it has flown by. It will be interesting, relaxed, and informal and packed full of information and advice about your dog’s behaviour. We help you to show your dog a more positive way to think, to understand the world around them, and behave in a calm, respectful, and polite way.

We want you to be able to do all the fun things, or even just normal things with your dog, that you dreamed of doing when they first joined your family. Like going for a pleasant walk without being pulled along, or without your dog reacting in a panicky or negative way towards other dogs, or to be calm and relaxed when your guests arrive, or for you to be able to go out and leave your dog at home without them being stressed out and fretful. Those normal wishes are so important to us when our dog is not behaving in a way that allows us to just do those simple, everyday things that we all envisage when we bring our dogs home. Our goal is to help you and your dog to live together happily, respecting each other as different species and for both of you to be confident and happy.

We am here to help you and will never judge or criticise past unsuccessful attempts at training, or even mistakes that have been made. We understand how difficult it can be training your furry friend. We have an extensive amount of experience in helping dog owners with rescue dogs that may have come from a very disadvantaged past and have struggled to settle down and understand that their world is now safe, and they are loved. We understand how challenging and stressful it can be when you are trying to understand why they may be behaving in a certain way. We will always give you the best of my advice and knowledge to support you through the process of helping your dog to settle in and gain confidence.

If you are looking for professional dog training near you in Preston then you have found the right place. Our clients are amazed at the breadth of knowledge and great advice we give to them and how effective the simple and easy to follow techniques have been on their dog's behaviour. They report that their dogs are much calmer, happier, and relaxed after following the personal training plan and we're often told that this has saved their dog from being rehomed, and has made the household a much happier place, with a dog that is no longer a worrier, but is now enjoying being a happy relaxed dog.

Bark Busters dog training methods are positive, force free, kind, and respectful to your dog, and very “hands off”. We work on effective communication, positive reinforcement, and we do not depend on physical force. Bark Busters is the largest home dog training company in the world and has trained over 1 million dogs around the world. Our approach is kind and effective and helps dogs think and behave differently, to stop worrying about things they don’t have to, and become happier, more relaxed pets that learn to focus on being a happy dog and having fun.

Many of our clients tell us that they have already tried many different training methods before, and understandably they can be confused about which approach to follow. Some clients come to Bark Busters at the end of their tether with immense heartache and stress, being on the brink of rehoming their dogs because they are finding life so difficult with them. It is such a pleasure to see them change their mind completely in just a short amount of time when I teach them how to understand their dog better, and they see very fast results as soon as the training begins.

Whether you have had your dog for some time and the behaviours have gradually developed over a time, or you have a new rescue dog that you don’t know the full history of, and you want them to settle and be happy in their new home, or if you have welcomed a new puppy into your home and you want to teach them to be relaxed, well behaved dogs from the start, we're here to help you with training and behavioural needs.

** Please Note **
We are unable to offer my service if your dog has aggression to people, whether they be family members or strangers. This needs to be addressed in a very careful, sensitive, and specific way and will require face to face training.
