Dog Training Northwich & Home Puppy Classes

Welcome to dog training Northwich, I am Lee Hardy your local Bark Busters dog behaviour therapist and trainer. I specialise in dog behaviour problems, general obedience and home puppy training classes. My lessons are conducted in your home, where your dog is less stressed and can learn much better.

I can help you achieve a happy and responsive dog who listens to you, and a dog that can be relaxed and less stressed when out on walks. You may be experiencing behaviour problems like jumping up, barking at noises in the house or garden, causing neighbours to complain, or pulling on the lead when out walking, or being reactive to other dogs or people on the street. It could be separation anxiety, or chasing animals, or being unable to call your dog back in all situations. If you have more than one dog, they may be fighting or showing signs of sibling rivalry between them. You may be experiencing resource guarding or toileting in the home. Whatever the problem, I'm here to help.

What you can expect

If you are looking for professional dog training near you in Northwich, then you've found the right place. My methods are based on the way that dogs naturally communicate with each other, by using voice tone and body language. My training has no harsh methods and leverages the natural instinct that dogs find easy to understand. For example, a dog from another country can easily communicate with your dog because they speak the same 'doggie' language. With my training, they respond quickly and learn to trust, whilst having fun playing the games that we teach to rehabilitate any behaviour problems.

I'll demonstrate and then coach you in the same techniques, so that you can continue to implement the training. It's better for all the family to be involved so they can all be consistent and have fun and help each other. My approach teaches trust with various techniques and games, to change the unwanted behaviour.

I also train dogs with disabilities

I have a very successful programme for dogs with disabilities. Deaf and blind dogs, and dogs with missing limbs. My methods work with all dogs regardless of their disabilities.

Our support guarantee is with you every step of the way

Our unique lifetime of the dog or 12-months support guarantees, where you only pay once and receive free of charge ongoing support for your chosen period, will give you peace of mind that help is always available for any issue when you need it. This means that when you need further help and support, I arrange further home visits to return to help you further, free of charge. This can be for existing problems or even if new problems develop later. No other dog trainer can offer the support guarantee that Bark Busters provides.

If you have recently adopted a puppy, I can help you

If you are looking for puppy training classes near you, then why not consider my home training. Group training classes can be very stressful for your puppy and if they become disruptive in the classes you can often be asked to leave. My lessons are informative and provides puppies with the very best start in life.

My home puppy training classes can cover topics such as:

• Best toileting habits
• Appropriate diet and good food manners
• Recall - coming when called
• Gate and door control
• Sit, stay and down training
• Correct holding of the lead and walking
• Walking to heel
• Distance control (staying with you when there are other distractions)
• How to successfully socialise your puppy
• How to de-sensitise, for example, vacuum cleaners and car travel etc...
• Protecting your puppy from being overwhelmed by people or other dogs
• Accustoming to handling, bathing and grooming
• Bad behaviour prevention and management, e.g. jumping up, mouthing, play biting and chewing etc. 

My main wish and my best rewards are to help dogs, and their owners, enjoy each other 100% of the time and to ensure that dogs do not end up being relinquished to a rescue organisation for rehoming due to unwanted behaviour. Any dog of any age with any behaviour problem deserves a second chance.

So, if you have an overprotective German Shepherd, a nipping Border Collie, a noisy terrier, a "doodle" that won't come back when you call, or even a dog with OCD, then I'm here to help.

You may be new to having a dog in your life, whether it's an adult rescue or you have a new puppy. Please do get in touch to see how I can help you form a better bond, or to get your relationship with your dog back on track. I am happy to have a no obligation chat to explain how I work and to give you more information on our unique Life of the dog or 12-months support guarantees too.
