Is there anything better than having a new puppy? At first it’s so exciting...but then comes the mess that comes along with it! One moment you're totally smitten, the next you're scooping up an accident, removing a sock from their mouth, or scratching your head over why they now believe your hands are chew toys. Sound like someone you know?
We provide puppy training in Fort Collins so you can start off right, avoid common puppy training mistakes and end up raising a happy dog that you'll be glad to have as part of your family.
Whether you're looking for puppy training for good behavior starting on day one, or if you're trying to correct others, such as jumping, biting, barking, or leash pulling, before those become bad habits, we will give you a clear, easy-to-follow plan to do all of this at home!
Why Early Puppy Training Matters
Early puppy training has a much greater impact on your life than most dog owners realize. Puppies are quick learners, both for good things and for bad. Training your puppy early in their development will create an easier lifestyle for everyone involved in caring for it.
Puppy training classes are far more than simply learning to "sit" or "stay." Bark Busters’ Puppy training involves creating habits that allow your puppy to thrive as a member of your family by settling calmly, greeting visitors appropriately, staying calm while you leave the house, and making good decisions under pressure (e.g., when they're excited).
We have helped thousands of families in laying the groundwork for the well-being of their new puppy to avoid future problems requiring fixes.
Your Home is The Best Place for Puppy Training
Every puppy is unique in their behavior, challenges, and daily routine. At Bark Busters Home Dog Training Northern Colorado, we bring our training to you! Our puppy trainers, Scott and Holly, will work with the whole family where your puppy actually spends its time, lives and learns. By doing so, we have the opportunity to focus on those specific moments, such as:
- Puppy potty training to build routines and avoid accidents
- Stopping the puppy from nipping, mouthing and jumping on people and/or furniture
- Teaching your puppy how to walk calmly on a leash, to stop biting the leash, and prevent pulling
- Stopping barking at noises, guests, or distractions
- Increasing your puppy's confidence when experiencing new things
If you have attended puppy training classes before and still have no changes, our dog trainers, Scott and Holly, will make a difference by teaching you and your puppy in the comfort of your home.
Why Fort Collins Families Choose Bark Busters
At Bark Busters Home Dog Training Northern Colorado, we believe in developing simple, consistent routines that all of your family members can participate in and easily learn. We do not simply train "the dog," we coach you to give you confidence in managing everyday life with your new puppy.
Our puppy trainers, Scott and Holly, in Fort Collins will assist you in understanding why your puppy is behaving in certain ways, recognizing behavioral patterns early on, and responding in a way that develops new and positive ones.
We support your puppy as it grows and develops through stages. Puppyhood changes rapidly, and what may be effective at 10 weeks may need adjustments by the time they reach 6 months. Our puppy trainers will guide you in raising a calm, well-behaved puppy, not just merely survive the initial weeks and months.

Puppy Training That Builds Better Habits for Life
Dog and puppy training prepares your pet for what to expect in their first year of life, such as friends visiting at home, trips to the park, driving in the car, trips to the veterinarian and all other distractions that are normal to daily life.
Our puppy trainers use structured and calm leadership that will enable your puppy to focus on you, relax more quickly and remain polite even while being excited.
Reactivity, anxiety and stubborn boundaries are the top 3 issues you want to avoid when raising a puppy. Our puppy training program in Fort Collins is designed to help you by planning around your puppy's age, breed tendencies and your family routines.
