Expert Puppy & Dog Training in Tamworth - In Your Home
Home Behaviour Training with Bark Busters Tamworth
If your dog is barking excessively, showing aggression, pulling on the lead, or struggling with anxiety, you're not alone - and you don't have to solve it on your own.
At Bark Busters Tamworth, we specialise in home dog training and behaviour modification, helping you transform your dog's behaviour in the environment where problems actually happen: your home.
Why Choose In-Home Dog Training?
Most behavioural issues don't start in a training class - they start at home.
That's why Bark Busters Tamworth focuses on real-life training in your dog's everyday environment, allowing us to:
- Address behaviour at its source
- Observe real triggers and routines
- Tailor training specifically to your dog
- Coach you in real time, in your own home
This approach leads to faster, more practical results compared to generic group classes.

About me
I was born in Southeast London and grew up with my family being entertained by often up to 7 small dogs. After leaving education, I worked in various industries mostly in the motor trade and then moved to Kent to raise my family. Four children, all living at home, along with my 4 Labradors. A busy life indeed!
Over the years I realised that dogs were an essential part of my life, so I began working with local rescue groups fostering dogs in need, some successfully rehomed, some who never left. Most of them had behaviour problems, trauma, anxiety, aggression, and other unwanted behaviours caused by their prior individual situations. One of them was Coco a lovely chocolate Labrador, who became aggressive with other dogs who approached her, and she was a real puller on the lead too. This caused me aching shoulders and a bad back and I began to dread taking her out. I realised that I needed help from a professional. I found Bark Busters and the local dog behaviour therapist, Andy, instantly changed mine and Coco’s life!
Since then, and after becoming a Bark Busters Dog Behaviour Therapist myself, I have helped lots of dogs and their owners to overcome the behaviour problems, with our easy and gentle training methods.
