Dog Training Stratford-upon-Avon & Home puppy Behaviour Classes

Welcome to Bark Busters Home Dog Training Stratford-upon-Avon, my name is Emma and I’m your local Bark Busters dog behaviourist, therapist and trainer. I'm here to help you with your general training needs or to resolve all your dog’s behaviour problems. My training is one-to-one and conducted in your home where you and your dog are less stressed, most relaxed, and where you can take the time to focus on your dog without distractions. I come to you at a time that suits you and we work together to resolve those unwanted behaviours that are causing you problems and putting strain on your relationship with your dog; and maybe with other members of your family too.

About me

I’ve owned dogs for over 20 years and before I was a trainer, my background was in dog grooming. Grooming brought me into contact with many challenging dogs and their loving, but frustrated owners. Many of my customers would talk to me about the various behaviour problems they were struggling with, and I was able to share my experiences and provide advice. 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. I have always been so committed to helping people identify the reasons behind their dog’s bad behaviour and helping them, and their dog, overcome the problems and live more happily together. I jumped at the chance to make the move into dog training as a Bark Buster dog behaviour therapist when the opportunity arose in the Stratford-upon-Avon area.

I work with many different breeds and many different size dogs. Each dog has its own issues and I know the importance of understanding how dogs use body language to communicate, why they need to be handled considerately and why they need to feel confident in person who is leading. I also love meeting dog owners through my work and I am committed to providing great customer service.

The training system

If you are looking for professional dog training near you, then you have found the right place. My system is straight forward, easy to use and understand, by both you and your dog. There are no physical harsh methods and I believe hands are for praise and reward. We will work together to ensure that your dog is listening to your voice tones, watching your body language and understands what you want from him/her. I can help you with all problems such as aggression to other dogs, aggression to people, sibling rivalry, separation anxiety, excessive barking, destructive behaviour, toileting, boisterousness, pulling on the lead, recall and much more... I also offer puppy training so that you can get off to the right start with your puppy.

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 training classes cover topics such as:

• Fast and best toileting habits
• Appropriate diet 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…

Our lessons will be packed full of activities and information so that you feel you have lots to continue to work with. You will receive lots of written information and follow-up training tips to help you absorb and consolidate what you have learnt. I want to ensure you get the best value possible from our training system.

Our written Support Guarantee will also give you peace of mind that I will return, free of charge, to support and guide you through the term that you have purchased. You can feel confident knowing that I am only a phone call or an email away from continuing to help you if you struggle.
