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.

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.

Eeny
Trainer: Tim

"Alex helped me with my 10 month old Samoyed Kingston who I was really struggling to walk due to some behaviours he was having during the walk such as barking, lunging, biting the lead and re-directing onto us, I was feeling hopeless and wasn’t enjoying the walks at all. Due to having a bad experience with a previous trainer I was nervous about having the consultation with Alex however Alex was Absolutely fantastic, he gave me some advice on inside the house and handled Kingston very well outside considering he was a nightmare. The first session went well. Alex sent over some homework for me to focus on and 3 weeks forward the second session was fantastic! I can now walk Kingston with peace of mind, we have been doing so many fun activities such as hiking and going to the beach and I’ve seen such a massive difference in his behaviour. Inside and outside. I can’t wait for the next sessions going forward. I can’t thank Alex enough for his patience and commitment to work with Kingston he gave us much praise for our hard work and always kept us updated on the next sessions and our homework to improve. Thank you so much for everything Alex I can’t recommend you enough."
