Charleston Dog Training

Charleston Dog Training

We love what we do and enjoy teaching people about their dog’s behavior as well as showing them how to change it with positive methods. This helps to improve the overall relationship and keep dogs in their homes. Did you know the number one reason for euthanasia in the United States is not health related illness but behavior problems? Therefore, educating people saves dogs lives and creates happy families.

Do you have a new Puppy? Did you know the most impressionable period in a puppy’s life is from about 8 weeks to 14 weeks of age? By the time most puppies have had their vaccinations and are of age for a group setting that period has already passed. You can start in home training as soon as you get your puppy! Your puppy starts learning the moment you bring him home. We teach safe and proper ways to meet ALL of your puppies needs, teach house rules, obedience, address behavior issues early as well as proper socialization.

Are you embarrassed, frustrated or worried about your dog’s behavior? We have helped thousands of owners determine the root cause of why “it” is happening and what can be done to change it. Did you know that dogs can learn at any age? Let us create a custom plan to help you safely manage the current situation while you work to change how your dog feels. Your plan will produce better behavior from barking up to and including anxiety and aggression.

We use a custom approach and create a training plan personal to you and your dog. Since every dog and person is a unique individual, with its own variable temperament, environment and circumstances we do not use a one size fits all approach. Instead we train you to train your dog using a custom approach using positive relationship based methods to build trust, respect and bond with your dog and achieve long term results.

  • Happy Clients. Our clients often tell us they feel empowered, impressed with their dogs response and hopeful. They notice that their dogs are calmer and happier with direction from them. We want you to feel that way too! Our past and present clients have been so wonderful about providing reviews to share their experience with you.

 

  • Vet Recommended. We have a working relationship with most of the local veterinary clinics, shelters and industry staff on staff education, client education programs, as well as training for their own personal pets.

 

  • Free Behavior Quiz. Take our free quiz and see where your dog falls on the behavior spectrum. Enjoy this free tool and many others on this website at your leisure. We are committed to education and dog safety in our community and are available for group speaking engagements on dog behavior.

 

  • Pricing. We have one set fee that will help you address all of your concerns vs. and hourly rate or charging per issue. We offer a free phone consultation, no obligation meeting, and the most generous multiple dog discount.

Lifetime Support Guarantee

Lifetime Support Guarantee

The Bark Busters worldwide dog behaviour training support guarantee is unique in the industry. It is designed to help owners resolve their dog behaviour issues and dog obedience issues and to provide our customers with ongoing peace of mind. It provides for the following:

  • Written: Clients receive a written, signed copy of the dog training guarantee on their Bark Busters receipt which is an official Bark Busters Australia document and outlines all the training methods which must be adopted to resolve your dog’s behaviour problems.
  • Backed Up: The Bark Busters guarantee is backed up by the world’s largest dog training company. Copies of all guarantee receipts are retained at Bark Busters’ Australia & New Zealand Head Office.
  • Service Guarantee: The Bark Busters guarantee simply states that if the owner continues to carry out all of the training instructions provided by the therapist at the training lessons, the Bark Busters therapist will continue to work with the owner, to achieve the desired results, for either one year, or the life of the dog (depending on the service obtained) at no additional charge. Most clients prefer the lifetime support guarantee because they receive peace of mind for very little additional cost.
  • All Problems Covered: The guarantee provides for ongoing, free assistance no matter if the same problems recur, or if new problems arise. There is never an additional charge when your trainer returns, except for transportation costs if agreed in advance in certain areas falling outside the geographical area covered by your trainer.
  • Guarantee Moves With The Dog: If for any reason the dog needs to be re-homed, the remaining term of the guarantee passes to the new owner for a nominal fee. In the case of the lifetime support guarantee, the new owner will be trained and will receive the benefits of the guarantee for the life of the dog. The one-year guarantee applies if the re-housing is done within the first year. Clients can upgrade to the lifetime support guarantee for an additional charge.
  • Guarantee Moves With The Owner: If the owner moves to another location, the guarantee continues to be valid, either for the life of the dog, or one year from the date of the first lesson, depending on the service. If there is a Bark Busters therapist reasonably close by, services will be provided at no charge. If a trainer is not close by, Bark Busters will provide assistance by phone and email. People who move to parts of the world where Bark Busters has offices, ongoing assistance is also covered at no additional charge.
  • Limitations of Cover: The guarantee may not be transferred to another dog. The guarantee is not a money back guarantee. If the dog is euthanised or the dog dies the guarantee is rendered null and void. All training advice must be adopted by the owner in order for the guarantee to remain valid. If the owner adopts an alternative form of training without prior discussion with their therapist this will render the guarantee null and void.
  • Over 27 Years of History: Bark Busters has grown to be the largest dog training company in the world, with over 1 million dogs trained. The guarantee has been part of the company since 1989 when company founders, Danny and Sylvia Wilson, decided that it would help to significantly reduce the number of dogs that were being euthanised and provide customers peace of mind for many years. The company is expanding rapidly internationally and can be counted upon to fully honour its guarantee.
