Puppy & Dog Training Walsall & West Bromwich

Welcome to dog training Walsall, my name is Sarah Coleman, and I am your local Bark Busters dog behaviour therapist and trainer. I'm here to help you with your general training needs or to resolve any of your dog's unwanted behaviour.  I work with all behaviour problems from jumping up, nuisance barking, pulling on the lead to more severe problems like aggression, sibling rivalry and separation anxiety. I also thoroughly enjoy puppy education lessons too, as I have an excuse for a cuddle!

I work on a one-to-one basis in your home with all the family, or anyone who is involved with your dog.  I help you to understand the reasons why your dog may be acting in an unwanted way and show you simple, kind, calm techniques to help the process of change.  I will demonstrate and ensure you can carry out the simple training techniques, tailor made for your dog and your home situation. Most clients see a big change during the very first lesson, then with my free ongoing help and support, and your commitment to practice the training plan, you will find that you can enjoy your dog so much more.

If you are looking for professional dog training near you then you have come to the right place. My lessons are full of activities and information so that you feel you have plenty of training techniques and games to keep the progress on track. You will receive lots of written information and follow-up training tips to help you absorb and consolidate what you have learned. It is important to me that you, as well as your dog, thoroughly enjoy and have fun with the and therefore get the best value possible experience from our me.

Our Support Guarantee also gives you peace of mind that I will return, free of charge, to help, 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.

About me
I was born in Southeast London, and I grew up there with my family and often up to seven small dogs. After leaving education, I worked in various industries some in the motor trade and then moved to Kent to raise my family; four children and a pack of 4 Labradors kept me very busy.

Throughout this time, I realised that dogs were an essential part of my life. When time permitted, I began working with local rescue groups fostering needy dogs, most were successfully rehomed, but some unfortunately never left. Many of them had behaviour problems, separation anxiety, aggression to dogs and or people, having lost trust in humans, causing a variety of unwanted behaviours. Coco was one of them, a lovely chocolate Labrador, who became aggressive with other dogs approaching her and pulled like a train causing me shoulder and back pain, so much so, that I began to dread taking her out.  I recognised that I needed some professional help and I found Bark Busters online.  Andy, my local behaviour therapist, came to visit and made a huge difference to my life and that of Coco's too! She learned to walk beautifully on lead and was able to become more relaxed when other dogs appeared.  Ever since then, many of my foster dogs have benefited from the same gentle and easy to follow methods that I leaned.

Having moved to beautiful South Staffordshire following changes in my life, I was able to follow my dream of becoming a Bark Busters dog behaviour therapist and trainer and I now work in this fabulous area.
