Now we have some sunshine again, it's the perfect opportunity to get your dog training underway. We can often notice some issues with our dogs which we have been able to avoid in the colder months. Those problems might be dog aggression, barking outside when the neighbours are doing their gardening, pulling on the lead or chasing skateboards or bikes down on the beach.
I understand how a dog's problems can not only embarrass and frustrate its owner, whether it is chewing, jumping up or toileting, but can cause real stress within a home.
Many years ago my dog, Preston, suffered from separation anxiety and I made the sad decision to re-home him when nothing the experts recommended worked. If only Bark Busters had been around then, as I now know that the training methods that we use would have worked for Preston.
I now own two rescue dogs. My Jack Russell Bob had similar problems to Preston when I first had him and I am now glad to say he is a happy little dog! My younger dog is Brook a Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross.
My dog training with Bark Busters has given me the opportunity to help hundreds of owners and their dogs from chasing Collies to tugging Terriers! One dog who springs to mind is Molly, a German Shepherd who had severe aggression issues; food aggression, dog aggression and also towards strangers coming to the house. Her owners had been told to put her to sleep as aggression could not be cured. The great thing about the Bark Busters training method is how quickly you can see a difference in your dog's behaviour. I worked with Molly's owners and by end of the first session they had the control back again and the tools to change Molly's behaviour permanently. Everyone, including Molly, is far more relaxed and now people can come to the house again and she has recently even started to play with other dogs.

Just like Molly's owners, your dog's behaviour may be of real concern, or you have just picked up your first puppy. Training your dog is fun as well as rewarding. I will teach you how to think and act dog, so that your dog understands what you want and what you don't want him to do. You don't have to be frustrated and embarrassed by your dogs behaviour.
Whatever the problem I can help. No dog is a hopeless case. Contact me to see how I can help you to build that rewarding relationship with your favourite friend.

I've had Archie for just over a year from Raystede Animal Welfare when he was 2yrs - he's 3yrs now and the few hours that Kim spent with us has taught me more than I've learnt in the past year through self learning and perseverance. I wish I'd had the money and knowledge that someone so professional and kind could help me get Archie "beagle" to do as I tell him and not wot he wants to do. Thank you very much Kim.

Kim\'s training was excellent! Before meeting Kim I was close to rehoming Leo back to the breeder. My boss bought Leo for me and he came to work with me every week Mon-Fri after 2 years I decided I had to take some sort of action as he was controlling my life. I am the Manager of a large Company, whenever I left my office to go to another floor Leo would scream a high pitched scream and sometimes wee on my carpet. The other problem I had was his fixation with fire engines and large lorries, when out walking if either passed us he would pull on the lead and bark madly quite embarrassing especially as he is a little dog \"butter wouldn\'t melt in his mouth\" look! Kim has made our lives so much better; Leo now looks at me and listens to commands. I have learnt some really good techniques which I can always revert back to if needed. Kim has a lovely calm manner and I have really enjoyed working with her. The whole experience is like magic. Thank you Kim.
