Dog Training Preston & Home Puppy Training Classes

 

 

Award-Winning Grand Master Dog Trainer – Neil Price
Dog Behaviour problems resolved quickly – I teach you how to “Speak Dog”

 
Welcome to Bark Busters dog training Preston, my name is Neil Price, and I have been training dogs for most of my adult life. In my early 20’s I was teaching Border Collies to work with sheep, and more recently as a professional behaviour therapist and trainer with Bark Busters, since 2008. I now work with all dog breeds teaching obedience training and I have trained over 3,000 dogs with Bark Busters. I am also a Kennel Club Accredited Agility Judge, and I have a Diploma in Canine Psychology too.

Have You Tried Everything, Without Success?

If you are looking for professional dog training near you then you have come to the right place. My customers love their dogs but are not enjoying them 100% of the time. Is that you? Dogs are not born “naughty”, they are confused and need to understand what you are trying to communicate, that’s where I can help.

Do these issues sound familiar?

  • Pulling on walks, or tripping you up, that leaves you with aching arms or injury?
  • Jumping up at you, guests, or strangers that embarrassingly ruin social occasions?
  • Excessive barking, that you are unable to stop?
  • Reactivity or showing aggression to dogs or people?
  • Separation Anxiety preventing you from leaving your home?
  • Not being able to let your dog off the lead as you can never be sure that they will come back when called.

You have probably already tried many techniques to help with these problems. Training videos, classes, endless treats, yet you are still searching for answers.

How Was I Inspired to Help Others?

Or rather who inspired me! It was Gemma a 16-month-old working sheepdog who had been rejected by her first owner. When I adopted her, she was nervous, not house trained, rather skinny and showed aggression to both dogs and people. With patience, consistency, and daily encouragement and training, she became the recipient of the Kennel Clubs highest award, Agility Warrant Gold. Inspiration indeed.


What Makes My Home Dog Training Successful?


1. I Come to YOUR Home

I assess your dog’s behaviour in the environment where your dog lives, and of course the surrounding area if you are having problems outside the home. This helps me to create a tailor-made dog training and behaviour programme, to help you to get the best results. Your dog will be more relaxed and able to listen without distractions, and of course the behaviour problems will be happening there too.

2. Immediate Results in the First Lesson
My clients say they are amazed at the changes from the very first lesson, by using our natural communication methods, with no harsh techniques or equipment. Using voice tones, body language, and signals that your dog will naturally understand, I show and guide you and your dog on the changes needed, whilst ensuring you can repeat the methods I have taught, before I leave.

3. Personalised Training Plan
As your dedicated dog behaviour therapist, and considering your dog’s unique personality, I assess your expectations, the behaviours you want to change, and I create an easy-to-follow customised plan to consolidate the initial training.

4. Lifetime Support Guarantee
You will have the backing of our Lifetime support guarantee, or 12 months support guarantee, whichever package you choose, that provides you with free of charge return visits for the term your purchase. This provides you with peace of mind that you will not have to pay any more money when I return to see you.

5. 5-Star Rated Service
Please do take the time to check out my many customer testimonials and Trustpilot reviews from lovely happy customers.

I also train dogs with disabilities

I work with dogs with disabilities too. Deaf and blind dogs, and dogs with missing limbs. My methods work with all dogs regardless of their disabilities.

New puppy? Why not consider my home puppy training classes
I can support you throughout the various stages of your puppy’s development. My home puppy lessons are fun and friendly and will help you to become the proud owner of a healthy, happy puppy. 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.
    and more...

My Customer Testimonials

"Neil was great with Gizmo. He explained everything clearly and gave instructions both here at home and for the time we would be training. Everything made sense (at least to me, Gizmo is another story) but I'm hopeful. Gizmo responded really well to Neil doing everything he was asked ."

Joseph
Trainer: Neil Price

"Great training which I am using every day with Dennis. He’s still very stubborn and excitable, but hopefully he will calm down a bit with repetitive training. Looking forward to the next session"

Pat
Trainer: Neil Price

"Neil is a very experienced and knowledgeable dog trainer, and very patient with us! He is lovely, friendly and helpful; as is his wife Amanda who I spoke to initially. His methods are easy to follow and work! We are thrilled that our big, young German Shepherd is now much more obedient and we have much more of a clear understanding of how to train him (and ourselves!). Thank you Neil!"

Sonia
Trainer: Neil Price

"I believe when Neil has finished training Amber, she will be better behaved and easier for me to handle her."

Jacqui
Trainer: Neil Price

"Neil was brilliant and had a lovely manner with both us and our dog. He clearly explained why we are having the problems we have with our Labrador, which was very helpful and made a lot of sense to us. Our first session was great and after just a week we’re already seeing an improvement. Thank you Neil!"
