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.

What our customers are saying

 

"Kirsty made us feel relaxed and certainly Harley responded straight away to her commands. We found very quickly, that, Harley worked very well and Kirsty was very patient in explaining all of the aspects of the training that we would be doing. Harley took to the new K9 bridle and is now walking to heel extremely well. She also ignores ( in the main) other dogs and people walking past her. We have also changed her food to increase her protein intake in place of the higher carbohydrates feed she’s been on."

"I could not believe the difference in Buddy with his attitude to the door being knocked or opened. He is so much more controlled in these situations now. Lead walking is now something I am able to do whereas before it was becoming too dangerous for myself to take Buddy out because of his shear strength. Off lead is a delight,.Baloo is learning not to be aggressive with all other dogs and again makes our walks a lot more pleasurable. I can't thank Kevin enough.It was worth every single penny ."

Pauline
Trainer: Kevin McDonnell

"We engaged Kirsty because we were concerned about our ten month old lurcher’s prey drive. We have owned several lurchers over the years but never one with such a determined hunting instinct at such a young age, or where our usual recall efforts failed miserably 99/100. We were also finding that she was becoming increasing ‘unruly’ generally: pulling on her lead, demanding affection, siting on furniture (or laps) uninvited, etc. Kirsty enabled us to recognise the patterns in our pup’s behaviour and, via some surprisingly simple but immediately effective exercises, to take back control and to reinstate the proper pack hierarchy. We have been genuinely taken aback by how quickly these changes have taken place (including in our behaviour!) and how much more contented our dog is. Fingers crossed, once we’re confident we have absolute authority domestically, we will be able to transfer this control to the great outdoors."

Janice
Trainer: Kirsty Dudfield

"We are really happy with how the first lesson went. We can see an improvement in Georgie's behaviour already."

Joanne
Trainer: Neil Price

"It was a pleasure meeting Kirsty She was very professional, knowledgeable and clearly understands dogs. She was able to explain techniques well and demonstrated them in a way that was accessible and achievable. It was very helpful for her to watch us do the exercises and be corrected as needed. Her approach with Bruno was firm but loving as well which we appreciated. The way she explains techniques etc was so good, we both felt engaged as she 'trained us', we never felt talked down to. At the end of the first lesson both of us felt empowered and enthusiastic to teach our boy to behave better!"

Jo
Trainer: Kirsty Dudfield

"Kirsty was very knowledgeable about all aspects of dog wellbeing and training. Even from just one lesson we are seeing the benefits. Kirsty approached things very methodically and gives you great tips to keep the training going. We have every confidence that she can make our dog /owner relationship much better."

Simon
Trainer: Kirsty Dudfield

"Emma was amazing. She explained everything about how dog's communicate and how we as humans need to communicate to our dog. She showed us ho wto put Murphy in his new harness and have him walk at our side. She then gave us effective measures to control when he deviated from our side. Murphy is progressing nicely. His obedience on walks is about 75% better than preciously."

Tim
Trainer: Emma Barrett

"Alex is fantastic a what he does its as if he can talk to dogs, honey is only 5 months old now as with help from Alex she's doing what we ask her to do, if you are thinking of a dog trainer, don't think just book Alex you will not be disappointed at the results"

Martin
Trainer: Alex Fraser

"Neil was fantastic really helped us understand what our behaviours had on our Dog and how best to change them whilst also teaching us new techniques that Batcher responds too."

Dan
Trainer: Neil Price

"Neil was amazing and made us feel reassured we told neil about the separation anxiety that sky has as sky is a rescue dog from Belarus and when we introduced sky to neil she was happy as she loves people neil then done some basic commands with her of which she done without any problem we explained that sky is chewing everything from a tv to flooring and even a Dyson hover and tv stand sky also pees on the couch on my side neil informed us that this is down to her separation anxiety from me and that she is stressing out it's still early days and neil is very hopeful he can stop this neil is amazing and funny as he makes you feel relaxed i would highly recommend bark buster for help with your loving pet"
