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.

"Alex Fraser is magic.!!!! Our Border Collie, Guinness, was rehomed from a family that could no longer provide a suitable life for him. He took some time to settle into his new surroundings and our way of life. After 6 months of trying to correct all his problems we had made progress but there were issues that we could not address, even though we have had big dogs in the past. Alex spoke to us by phone, we gave him some background information and he immediately gave us some helpful advice. However, his visit was where the magic happened!! Our main problem was Guinness pulling on the lead as he is a strong dog. Alex demonstrated the correct "Heelwork" technique, ensuring we understood by encouraging us to follow his example. We bought an excellent harness from him, which has proved most effective (we had given up on harnesses having already purchased two, which have now gone to the charity shop!!! ) He also taught us what to do when Guinness reacted to other dogs and how to stop him hurling himself at people visiting the house! After only one week, we see a marked improvement in Guinness's behaviour when walking on the lead. In the house, he is calm and responsive to instructions. We are sure that Alex's invaluable guidance and help will improve ours, and Guinness's, lives. We can now enjoy having Guinness as a lovely companion and look forward to more sessions with Alex to smooth out any further issues."

"Lee is obviously an expert trainer. He gave us advice on how to train our very excitable springer which we put into practice straight away. He followed up the lesson with personal instructions by e mail which I printed out and am trying my best to work to all the time. I like the fact that I can contact Lee with any problems I have with Lucy's training. Because of Lee's help I feel more confident going forward that Lucy will be a well trained dog."

Trainer: Lee Hardy

"Alex was very professional and confident with us and our doggies, and us all feel comfortable with the new techniques we was taught and also could adapt the technique to our lifestyle and schedule, the first session was very informative and positive, I am looking forward to the continued support and seeing improvement with our doggies"

Luci
Trainer: Alex Fraser

"Kirsty was very friendly and professional. She took time to understand our dog’s history, issues and needs. Everything was clearly explained and demonstrated. We have seen a great improvement in our dog’s behaviour through understanding how our body language and vocal commands impact on his response."

Liz
Trainer: Kirsty Dudfield

"Kevin has totally transformed my dog, worth every penny. Within 10 minutes i was taught how to calm my hyperactive border terrier, and it worked! We even went to the cafe at the beach and not a peep out of him. Lots of work still to do but now i know how to do it. Brilliant."
