Our Dog Training and Behaviour Services
A better way to a better dog

Any Breed, Any Age, Any Problem - Including Puppies

Frustrated or desperate when dealing with your dog's inappropriate, embarrassing or destructive dog behaviours? Our easy to follow, natural and dog friendly training techniques focus on developing a positive relationship between owner and dog to establish a lasting emotional bond based on respect and trust. Our training leverages the same communication methods, voice tone and body language, that dogs follow as part of their instinctual mentality. We come to your home at a time convenient to everyone in your household. The Bark Busters dog training approach can help owners establish control of their dog without treats or the need for harsh punishment. In the first session, most owners see dramatic improvements in your dog's behaviour.

Amazing change in short time. Still a long way to go, but very optimistic.Mr D F, Crowborough, East Sussex

The Bark Busters Dog Training Method

We teach you to communicate with your pet.

Find yourself shouting, but your dog isn't listening to you? Maybe we're simply not speaking his language. The Bark Busters dog training method is based on the way dogs communicate with each other and how they learn from older, more experienced dogs. This is what makes our dog training unique and effective. Your therapist will guide you on the most effective way to overcome the problem behaviour and leave you with a training plan to ensure long and lasting results.

Non-physical

The Bark Busters method of training is based upon how dogs naturally communicate with each other. Our approach is non-physical and as stress free as possible for both you and your dog.

We DO NOT use techniques such as hitting or smacking, shock or spray collars, choke chains, pronged collars, alpha rolling (pinning the dog down), shouting or anything physical in our approach to training. In addition , as our approach is based upon how dogs communicate we don't rely on the use of treats or lures. Although treats are a great way to reward your dog we don't concentrate on their use for dog behaviour and training. We teach you how to control your dog without the use of a lure.

We teach you how to use your VOICE TONE and BODY LANGUAGE to control your dog... both on and off lead, at your home, at the park... anywhere you need it.

Why do we train in your home?

Your dog lives with a family, in a home. Training in the home environment is far less stressful for your dog. This is also where he leans best and where you'll most often see behaviour problems, so this is where training is most effective. Dogs learn by association so Bark Busters teaches your dog to listen in the home environment where the association is more established. If your dog does not listen to you in the home environment then it's highly likely he won't listen outside, where there are far more distractions.

Training in your home is a one-to-one system, without the distraction of other dogs or the stress of being sent away for training classes for disrupting the others.

Of course, where you are experiencing problems outside the home such as pulling on the lead or dog aggression, we will set up controlled training situations in the park or wherever is most practical.
