Dog Training in Your Home

An international company founded over 35 years ago and over 1 million dogs trained worldwide. Bark Busters trainers work directly with you in your own home to resolve behaviour problems and help with your general training needs. Of course, where problem behaviours happen outside your home, we work with you to resolve problems such as pulling, lunging, chasing and more severe problems such as aggression to other dogs, animals, or people.

Our approach works because it is based on how dogs naturally learn and communicate. Whether you have a puppy, adolescent or older dog, by ensuring they follow your cues and commands will help them navigate and thrive in the human world they live in.

35 Years, Training over 1 Million Dogs

Our training programmes consider the unique challenges you are facing, fostering a positive relationship between you and your dog. Our method enables you to build a lasting, emotional bond based on trust and respect, which in turn aids in overcoming the challenges with your dog. Bark Busters Home Dog Training behaviour therapists focus on dog owners too. We teach you how to communicate effectively with your dog so that you have the necessary tools to overcome any of your dog's behaviour problems. Our techniques work with any breed, any age and with any behaviour problem. You and your dog get one-to-one personal attention in your home, a tailored training plan for both you and your dog. Our support guarantee gives you the peace of mind that your trainer is here to help and support you for the life of your dog.

Life of Your Dog Support Guarantee

We believe in our methods and our 35 years of amazing results they have achieved, which is why Bark Busters offers our unique "Life of the Dog Support Guarantee". If you purchase our Gold Service, your trainer will continue to work with you, in your home and free of charge, to address new or any recurring behaviour problems, for the entire life of your dog. We will continue to visit you to provide practical training to resolve the behaviour problems you are experiencing, and we are there to help and support you for your dog's entire life.

What our customers are saying

 

"Ben was amazing, patient and very knowledgeable! We are over in Cornwall for our pups for holiday and needed help with his pulling on the lead and jumping up at others due to excitement. Ben taught us the tips and tricks that would help with just that and always asked if there was anything else we were concerned about. The next day we put ourselves and Riley to the test in Looe and it was like we had a different dog! Highly recommend and thank you again Ben!"

Sophia
Trainer: Ben Jordan

"Really pleased with the first lesson and subsequent improvement in the dogs behaviour, it’s definitely a marathon not a sprint but have the tools/technique's to work with"

Alison
Trainer: Sarah Coleman

"Ben is an incredible trainer. Spot & I learnt so much that afternoon and all information was super clear. It was a lot to take in so I was grateful for the notes Ben emailed me at the end of the day so that I could continue with the training. My main concern with Spot was that he no longer wanted to get into my car. Just 4 and 5 days after Ben's visit and Spot has been getting in without any bother. He is listening more to my commands and is walking much better on the lead. This has been the best money I have ever spent! Thank you Ben, you have changed our lives."

Rachel
Trainer: Ben Jordan

"My trainer was a lady called Sarah. She was absolutely fantastic. She explained so much at our first meeting. We all felt like we’d known her years! In our opinion she went above and beyond. My fur baby did really well. I was so proud of him with Sarah’s instructions. I couldn’t believe the difference after just one morning. It was incredible. I’m blown over to be honest. I’ve been doing the technique everyday and he’s already grasped this stage. I have a few more sessions as my dog has a few things to sort out but I’m confident the next sessions will go just as swimmingly. Sarah was very professional and really friendly. Extremely knowledgeable and put a lot of things I asked to rest. Would absolutely 100% recommend anyone who is having issues with their dog. Money completely well worth spent. As you may tell, I am one very happy customer. Thanks"

Rachel
Trainer: Sarah Coleman

"Alex was great, his knowledge of understanding us and our pup, Eddie, was amazing. After just one session we feel more confident with our stubborn English Bull Terrier, we did feel a bit stupid barking at our dog but it really does work. Eddie is so much more relaxed already. Thanks Alex, keep up the good work 😁"

Samantha
Trainer: Alex Fraser

"Alex was amazing. The results I had on the day and since then have been remarkable. It is like I have a different dog. A lot of the problem was down to the way I was treating / reacting to Eric’s behaviour. So happy now, still lots of work and training to be done but I now feel like I can manage it. Thank you Alex"

June
Trainer: Alex Fraser

"Gavin was very informative and guided through the plan. He opened our eyes to areas we hadn’t thought of. He provided reassurance on normal puppy behaviours and gave us tips and training tactics for development with a further session booked to help with further needs! So glad we found Gavin!"

Laura
Trainer: Gavin Chambers

"Ben is really friendly and put us at ease straight away. He explained the process really well and checked all of the way through with us that we understood what he was saying during training sessions. He was brilliant with Dottie who I think has become her best buddy! Dottie responded to Ben really well and we noticed a difference in her behaviour over the following weeks and beyond. Ben was professional at all times and we are looking forward to our next training session. I would not hesitate to suggest bark busters to friends or family"

Tracy
Trainer: Ben Jordan

"Tim has been brilliant with his advice for my dog and me😊 my dog has been making good progress and a much welcomed second visit helped me to work with my dog for her and me to enjoy our walks with less stress/anxiety ( hopefully!) my dog is responding well and positively to Tim’s advice. Tim has a great relaxed and non judgment manner and doesn’t make the owner feel they are doing things wrong, he listens and understands and quickly offers the better way to handle your dog or situation. By far the best advice and guidance I have had….. one to one far better than books and videos etc. Thankyou Tim😊."

Melanie
Trainer: Tim

"Lynn was fantastic, very quick to identify the issues with our dog’s behaviour and talked through how to address each one in a clear and concise way. Since seeing Lynn our dog’s behaviour has improved markedly and we couldn’t recommend her enough!"
