Dog Training in Scarborough and Durham Region

At Bark Busters Scarborough Durham Region, we believe a well‑trained dog is a happy family member. Founded by Juliet Prey, a certified Behaviour Therapist and Master Trainer, our studio blends proven science with compassionate hands‑on guidance. With a background in psychology, nursing and adult education, Juliet brings a unique blend of empathy and expertise, helping dogs and owners build stronger, trusting relationships. Our philosophy centers on communication‑based training that empowers owners, eliminates punishment, and creates lasting change. From puppies to seniors, from mild distractions to severe behavioural issues, we offer in‑home, personalised sessions that target real‑world behaviours in the home environment. Clients consistently experience noticeable progress within the first session, as our trainers demonstrate techniques that are both effective and sustainable. We stand behind every training programme with a lifetime support guarantee—owners can call us at any time for advice or follow‑up sessions, ensuring the dog’s life is continuously enriched. Our team of certified trainers, each trained in our "Stand‑Rite No‑Bite" system, ensures safety and effectiveness when addressing aggression. We serve the entire Scarborough and Durham Region, including Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Uxbridge, Bowmanville and Clarington. Our mission is simple: help dog owners understand their dogs so they can enjoy a calmer, happier life together. Whether you’re struggling with barking, leash pulling, food aggression or simply want to lay a solid foundation, Bark Busters Scarborough Durham Region is your trusted partner in pet ownership.
Because we train you as well as your dog, you gain the confidence to handle challenges independently. Our methods are based on positive reinforcement and clear cues, making training fun and rewarding for both of you. We also provide resources—videos, handouts, and ongoing support—to ensure the techniques you learn stick. Clients often report reduced stress at home, more enjoyable walks, and deeper bonds with their pets. In addition to everyday obedience, we specialise in advanced behavioural issues such as separation anxiety, aggression, excessive barking, and resource guarding, giving you practical solutions tailored to your dog’s needs. With our lifetime guarantee, you’re never alone; we’re here to celebrate milestones and address setbacks. Choose Bark Busters Scarborough Durham Region for a personalised, science‑based training experience that transforms your dog's behaviour and improves your life.
