Dog Training Altrincham & Home Puppy Classes

Welcome to dog training Altrincham, I am Alex Fraser your local Bark Busters dog behaviour therapist and trainer. Is your dog's behaviour causing you a problem? You may have an adult dog that has done something that has worried you, or an adolescent dog that has suddenly changed and is no longer listening. Perhaps you have rescued a dog and want to address some unwanted behaviours, or you've got a puppy that is causing chaos, or you want to give them the best start in life. Whatever the problem, I have a dog training programme that will help transform your dog's behaviour and to help you achieve that loving relationship with your dog that you are looking for.

My dog training programme provides fast, effective and long-lasting results. It is based around how dogs naturally communicate with each other, using voice tone and body language, a method that dogs instinctively understand. It betters your relationship with your dog, so you are more aligned. My home training is less stressful for you and your dog, which allows them to learn more efficiently and to take in more information.

My dog training is not a one size fits all approach

If you are looking for professional dog training near you in Altrincham, then you have found the right place. I don't use a one size fits all approach. Instead, I assess your dog's personality and guide you to help you to achieve your dog's goals. Dogs each have unique personalities, and once assessed, they respond well to my positive dog training programme that I tailor to your dog's personality, and one that suits your lifestyle too.

My clients love how easy it is to implement and where they often see almost immediate results. They often ask me if my dog will lose its personality. I always tell them no, it's not about that, it's about showing you and your dog how to understand each other without conflict or any fear or force. It must be a mutual win, win!

I fully understand the causes behind why your dog is showing the unwanted behaviour and I'll help you to understand what might be triggering your dog's behaviour too. It may be their environment, something physical, or even an event that happened in the past. I understand that your dog is part of your family, and I know how much you care for them. I understand that you are seeking the very best education and training, and that you care deeply for their welfare, and I do too.

My methods are instinctual to dogs, and they use the same communication process to this very day. For example, a dog from another country can easily communicate with your dog because they speak the same 'doggie' language of voice tones and body language.

How my home dog training works

My training programmes are conducted in your home, as this is where your dog is less stressed and is most comfortable. If the problem is outside, such as pulling, recall, fear of cars or reactivity to animals or people, we conduct the training in a controlled way in the area surrounding your home where you would be normally walking them.
We go through the problems you are experiencing having, in detail, so I understand what we need to fix. We access why your dog is misbehaving so we can address the underlying causes.
I then go through how we are going to address the behaviour, and I demonstrate any training exercises you need to follow daily with the dog.
I provide a training plan and send you clear instruction on what you need to do going forward.
With my Support Guaranteed packages, I return free of charge to support you in your progress for the term of the programme. Our unique Lifetime of the dog or 12-month support guarantee, where one payment gives free, ongoing support for the chosen period, and provides you with peace of mind that help is always available for any issue that crops up.
