Meet Kelly Gould

I’ve helped hundreds of families across Windsor and the surrounding area raise happy, well-behaved puppies. With many 5-star Google reviews, I’m proud to be one of Windsor’s most trusted dog trainers and a go-to specialist for families bringing home a new puppy.

Bringing home a new puppy is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. Biting, potty accidents, jumping, chewing, and sleepless nights can leave you wondering if you’re doing everything wrong. You’re not. You just need the right guidance from day one.

As a certified Behaviour Therapist, I specialize in guiding families through every stage of puppy development, from the first week home through adolescence and beyond. Whether it’s potty training, bite inhibition, socialization, leash manners, or building a calm, confident puppy, I’ll show you exactly what to do and how to do it.

Training happens in your home, where your puppy actually lives and learns. No group classes, no overwhelming environments. Just real results with your puppy in the place that matters most.

We Understand How Overwhelming
a New Puppy Can Be

You love your puppy, but you’re exhausted and overwhelmed:

  • Your puppy bites everything – your hands, your furniture, your shoes – and you don’t know how to stop it
  • Potty training feels impossible – accidents everywhere despite your best efforts
  • Your puppy won’t stop jumping on everyone who walks through the door
  • Sleepless nights from whining, barking, and refusing to settle in the crate
  • You’re worried you’re doing everything wrong and creating bad habits that will be harder to fix later

     

    You’re not alone. Early training sets your puppy up for a lifetime of good behaviour.

Why Our Approach Works Where Others Fail:

  • In-home training teaches your puppy good habits where they live
  • No punishment, no physical force – just clear, kind communication
  • Puppy-specific techniques for biting, potty training, and socialization
  • You learn to set boundaries and build confidence from day one
  • Understand your puppy better in the first 2-2.5 hour session
  • Lifetime Support Guarantee – help as your puppy grows through every stage.

Windsor Families Who Got Puppy Training Help From Kelly

“Kelly is simply amazing. The way she is able to help you understand how to better communicate with your dog was life-changing. And that’s not overselling. If you are having any problems with your dog, call Kelly. You will not regret it!”
“Cannot recommend Kelly enough! Her techniques and tips are easy to pick up and put into practice. Even before our first training session, Kelly took the time to understand my goals and equipped me with exercises that have brought so much more structure to my dogs’ routine. The “homework” is simple to incorporate into everyday life and doesn’t require any special tools or setups – a huge bonus! She’s also incredibly patient with my endless questions (it’s training for me too, not just my dogs lol) and takes wonderful photos of my dogs.”
“Bark Busters has helped us immensely with training our rescue puppy. In the beginning he was so nervous of everything, I couldn’t even walk him. Now he is such a gentleman on his walks.”

Puppy Training FAQs

How much does training cost?

We offer a one-time fee that includes your initial assessment, dog training sessions, and lifetime support. Pricing depends on your specific needs. Call 604-484-1941 for a free quote, or book a consultation to discuss your situation.

When should I start training my puppy?

The earlier, the better! Puppies can start learning from 8 weeks old. Early training prevents bad habits from forming and makes everything easier as your puppy grows. Whether your puppy is 8 weeks or 8 months, it’s never too early or too late to start.

Do you train all breeds and ages?

Yes! We’ve successfully trained puppies to senior dogs and all breeds. No dog is too old or too stubborn to learn.

What if my dog is aggressive? Is training safe?

Aggression is one of our specialties. Each Bark Busters trainer is trained on our unique “Stand Rite No Bite” system, and must pass a test to make sure they know how to safely approach aggressive situations. We use safe, effective communication techniques, and coach the humans on how to address the root cause of aggression to create lasting change.

Why in-home training instead of puppy classes?

Group puppy classes can be overwhelming and don’t address your specific challenges. In-home training teaches your puppy in the environment where they actually live, so they learn to behave where it matters most. Plus, you get one-on-one attention tailored to your puppy’s needs.

What does "lifetime support" really mean?

You can call us anytime – weeks, months, or years later – for advice or follow-up sessions. There’s no time limit. We’re here for the life of your dog.

Do I need special equipment like bark collars?

We do not use any form of shock collar during aggressive dog training. The Bark Busters Windsor dog trainer will assess and advise you on what your specific dog will need. You do not need to go buy anything ahead of time.

How long are training sessions?

Most clients see what is possible in the first session, but of course – don’t forget – puppies are growing and changing! Challenges are expected, and we’re here to help you get out ahead of those – and stop problems before they even start. We schedule follow up appointments to suit your dog’s needs, developmental milestones and to help you! Your lifetime guarantee means you always have the support you need.
