Support for Heaton households with dogs who bark at the window, struggle in back lanes or find busy parks overwhelming.

Dog training in Heaton

Heaton has terraced streets, shared back lanes and green spaces such as Heaton Park and Armstrong Park, close to Jesmond Dene. Busy pavements and close neighbours make calm greetings and quiet behaviour at home useful goals.

Terraces, back lanes and close neighbours

Living close to others means a dog’s barking or lunging is noticed quickly. Heaton owners often want help with alert barking at passers-by, worry about dogs appearing suddenly round a corner in the back lane, and calmer visits to Heaton Park or Armstrong Park.

For barking and worry at home, individual behaviour support is often best. Shared walks with other dogs may suit reactivity training. Contact Donna to discuss.

My dog barks at people passing our Heaton house. Is that something to mention?

Yes. Describe when the barking happens and how your dog behaves afterwards. Donna can discuss whether individual support is the right place to start.
