Our Mission: Transforming Lives Through Positive Dog Training

At Nosey Barker, our mission is to empower dog owners to build strong, loving bonds with their dogs through positive reinforcement and humane training techniques.

We specialise in puppy training and addressing separation anxiety. Our goal is to help every dog and their family thrive together.

The Nosey Barker Philosophy

At Nosey Barker, we understand that every family wants a well-mannered, happy dog they can enjoy spending time with. With over 12 years of experience in Harlow, Essex, Kim and her team focus on creating strong bonds between dogs and their families using positive, reward-based training methods. This philosophy, combined with our expertise, forms the foundation of the Nosey way.

Reward-Based Dog Training

Our reward-based dog training methods are tailored to suit each dog’s unique needs. From toys and treats to praise and activities, we use positive reinforcement to encourage desirable behaviours. This science-backed approach ensures long-lasting results while keeping your dog happy, confident, and well-behaved.

Real-Life Training in Small Classes

Our real-life dog training classes in Harlow, Essex, are designed to prepare your dog for everyday situations. Held in outdoor locations, our group classes expose dogs to real-world distractions they might encounter during walks or outings. With a maximum of 6 dogs per class, our hands-on approach ensures personalised attention and real-world results.

One of the reasons for our high success rate is our commitment to small class sizes.

Puppies and beginners: A maximum of 6 dogs per class.
All other classes: Also capped at 6 dogs.

This allows for more individual attention from our qualified trainers, giving you the chance to ask questions specific to your dog and lifestyle.
