Dog Training Nottingham & Home Puppy Training
Welcome to dog training Nottingham, I'm Estelle Jackson, your local dog behaviourist therapist and trainer. My techniques are kind and calm, using voice tone and body language, in the way dogs naturally communicate with each other. This makes it so easy for dogs to understand the techniques and training games we use to remove the unwanted behaviours and to train in the good behaviours. My training has successfully helped all problem dogs to become responsive, happy and trustworthy members of their family, and I love passing this knowledge and training onto others. I find it hugely rewarding in seeing the amazing results and the relief dog owners feel, so that they can relax and enjoy their dog.
If you are looking for professional dog training near you in Nottingham, then look no further. My training takes place in your home, at time that is convenient to you, and less stressful for you dog. Of course, where your dog is having problems outside the home, I'll venture outside and guide you through the training in a controlled manner on local roads, parks or fields. I listen to your concerns, observe and assess your dog, or puppy’s behaviour, then explain why the unwanted behaviours are happening. Together we devise an achievable tailor-made training programme that you and your dog will enjoy. I'll coach you in the techniques needed, so that you can communicate in a way that your dog will understand and to get the results that you want.
Are you looking for puppy training classes? Why not consider my home training.
I love working with puppies too as they are always a joy to work with. It’s important to start early and put the right training in place to prevent mouthing, nipping, jumping, stealing, toileting accidents, chewing expensive shoes or the corners of lovely wooden table legs, all of which are natural behaviours for puppies. I can help you to manage and retrain those unwanted behaviours so that your puppy becomes a loving part of your family.
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…
Ongoing support at no additional cost.

About Estelle
I have been working as a dog trainer and behaviour expert for many years. I love my career with Bark Busters and it is such a privilege to be out and about in your area meeting people from different walks of life and, of course, lots of amazing dogs with various behaviour issues every day. Working with animals was something I was always destined to do; since my schooldays I have been surrounded by animals of various types. My Dad used to help injured animals and wildlife, so our house was always full of an array of creatures. It still is, but more of that later.
I trained as a veterinary nurse after leaving school and travelled to Australia where I lived and worked for several years. There, my passion for animals developed into an interest in dog behaviour and I found myself working with the RSPCA in Australia, running training and behaviour workshops. Eventually, this led me to become a Bark Busters therapist because I loved the idea of visiting dogs and their owners in their own homes where dogs respond better to training as they behave "normally" and are more relaxed.
When I returned back to the UK, I was able to continue this work that I love. The Bark Busters communication system is easy-to-understand and easy to put into place, in a kind and consistent way, and I find that dog owners are amazed at the speed of the changes in their dog’s behaviour. It always gives me real pleasure to see the smile on owners’ faces once they realise that, underneath the stressed exterior, they have a calm and relaxed dog who is a pleasure to live with. Often, dogs are anxious because they have taken on too much responsibility and feel that they have a need to protect themselves and their family. This anxiety makes them difficult to train, because they can’t listen properly. Once I teach you how to communicate better with your dog and show some sound and consistent leadership based on voice tone and body language, you will give your dog comfort and confidence to know that it is ok to relax. Then he/she can learn much more quickly and start to have some fun.
Issues like excessive barking, destructive behaviours, aggression, skin problems, separation anxiety and guarding of objects can be signs of an anxious or overwhelmed dog. These are all issues I can help you with by teaching you how to train and communicate with your dog. I can also help with problems like pulling on the lead, poor recall, sibling rivalry, toileting and much more.
I also love meeting puppies! So, if you would like help with your puppy training and getting off to a good start with your new puppy, then please don’t hesitate to ask.
I own dogs, cats, ferrets, ducks, sheep and horses. My three dogs are a Husky and a Lurcher that I have had from pups, and a 3- legged Chihuahua that was rescued from the Bush in Australia (where she lost her leg). There is always lots to learn from animals about their resilience and ability to adapt and learn. Whatever behaviour problems you may be experiencing from your dog, I can assure you that I will have come across the problem before from many dog owners. There is never any need to be embarrassed to tell me about the problems you are having as I will always be a compassionate listener and will always help and not judge.
As the lessons take place in your home, you can relax and take your time as I show and guide you through the training. Your programme will be tailored specifically to you and your dog, and you can contact me at any time for support during the period term or your support guarantee, knowing that I will come out to help you with each stage as you progress. I will leave you with written notes and guidance so that you can recap what you have learned at any time. If you find that you are struggling, we will work together to find a way forward that suits you better.
If you are struggling and think that you have an untrainable dog, or a dog who won’t listen to you, give me a call, and let’s work together to get your relationship with your four-legged friend back on track. You can call our freephone number 0808 100 4071 anytime. Alternatively, just click the contact button above and leave me your details. You have taken the first step towards a better way to a better dog!
I hope to meet you very soon.
