Professional Home Dog Training in Coventry

Welcome to Bark Busters Dog Training Coventry, my name is Emma Barrett, your local Bark Busters dog behaviour therapist and trainer. I am an accredited Bark Busters Grand Master Dog Behaviour Therapist and Trainer, and I help dog owners like you resolve their dog's behaviour problems or their general obedience training needs.

Many years ago, becoming a Bark Busters dog trainer became my dream job, and I love what I do, helping dog owners who are searching for help for their furry family member. I specialise in dog behaviour problems. I also help if you are looking to settle an adopted dog into your home.

If you are experiencing behaviour problems with your dog, I develop a personalised training plan and work with you one-to-one in your home or in the local area where the problems occur. I work with everyone involved in your dog's life, and all family members are welcome too. I observe and assess the behaviours that are concerning you, explain why they are happening, and guide you on how to help your dog rehabilitate. I demonstrate the techniques needed, and we practice them so you have the confidence to carry on with the simple daily training routine that forms part of your everyday life. My training techniques leverage simple communication methods, voice tones and body language, and can incorporate fun training games that dogs quickly understand as part of their natural instincts.

If you are looking for professional dog training near you, then you have found the right place. Most of my clients see a big change from the very first lesson. With the Bark Busters unique Life of the Dog, or 12-month, Support Guarantee, and by practising the ongoing training, you will have peace of mind knowing that I will return free of charge to support you further with any existing or future behaviour issues that arise.

If you have a large German Shepherd, a little Chihuahua, or one of the many "doodles", and you are not enjoying your dog 100% of the time, please do contact me for a no-obligation chat to hear how I can help you.

About me

As a child, I longed to have a dog of my own, but with working parents, I realise now that it really wasn't possible.  However, once I left home, I got my first dog, a rather gorgeous Labrador. Over the years I have had lots of working breed dogs, Springer Spaniels, Cocker Spaniels and Labradors who luckily were all easy to train and who thoroughly enjoyed my weekend and holiday working games, using their innate skills to the full.

I wasn't enjoying my career in the corporate world, and I felt that I was not using my love of dogs. I therefore studied and qualified as a dog groomer and set about pampering my customers' lovely pets every day. I was eager to learn as much as possible about the dogs in my care, so I read and researched all I could about dog psychology. As my understanding grew, it helped enormously with nervous or reactive dogs that came to me. I was able to get previously impossible dogs to accept nail clipping, grooming, and noisy drying, too.

Many of my customers would tell me about other behaviour problems their dogs had, and I was able to share my knowledge, experience and understanding with them. I was always delighted when customers reported back to me that the advice and tips I had given had helped them with their dog's challenging behaviour.

As a result, I began looking for opportunities to become a full-time dog trainer and behaviour expert. I wanted to have an even more positive impact on customers and their dogs, knowing how upsetting it can be when humans and dogs stop being happy together. That's when I found Bark Busters, a successful worldwide business for over 35 years and trained over 1 million dogs, whose methods were aligned with my own understanding of how to get the best out of dogs, using calm, kind voice tones and body language. Their approach of assessing the reasons "why" before starting the "how" to rehabilitate the unwanted behaviours was an excellent fit. I became their Bark Busters therapist and trainer for Coventry, and it's a decision I've never regretted.

I can also help you if you're looking for a dog trainer in Leamington Spa, Rugby, Nuneaton, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick
