Thank You! Your Three Tips To Help Stop The Barking Are On Their Way 🐾
Your three tips are heading to your inbox now, almost as quickly as your dog responds to an unexpected knock at the door! Inside, you’ll find three simple dog-training methods to help turn down the volume and bring more peace to your home, your dog and everyone within earshot!
If you’re looking for more than tips or would like to understand the training in greater depth, my complete Stop Dog Barking Fast programme is for you.
If you learn best by seeing how something is done, you can watch me demonstrate every stage of the training with real dogs in real situations, complete with distractions, excitement and all the wonderfully unpredictable things our four-legged friends do.
I’ll show you precisely what to do, how to do it and how to put the training into practice with your own dog.
Your three tips give you simple training methods you can start using straight away. The complete programme allows you to build on them with more in-depth guidance, step-by-step demonstrations and a clear training plan, so you know exactly what to do next and you and your dog are finally reading from the same training manual!
You can choose the barking course on its own or access it as part of one of my memberships.
If, like many dog owners, there is more than one behaviour you’d love help with, the Get A Happy Dog Who Listens membership could be the answer for you. After all, dogs rarely stick to just one item on their mischief list!
You’ll have a treasure trove of dog behaviour, training, health and wellbeing courses at your fingertips, along with fresh monthly content, members’ Q&A videos, the chance to have an online consultation with me and a private community where you can share your progress and celebrate those wonderful tail-wagging wins.
It means you’ll have trusted help to turn to whenever your dog adds another bright idea to their repertoire, including the ones you definitely didn’t teach them!
And if you would love to make dogs your day job as well as your favourite subject, there’s something very special for you too. The Turn Your Passion Into Paid Work membership includes everything above, together with my complete Become a Dog Trainer and Build a Thriving Dog Business courses, professional resources and a dedicated community to help you create a rewarding career working with dogs and their owners.
Have a look below to see how you can go from being unable to hear yourself think to enjoying a peaceful home and a dog who settles when you ask.
ONLINE DOG TRAINING COURSE: HOW TO STOP EXCESSIVE DOG BARKING
Feel Confident and in Control in Your Own Home Again
Enjoy calm when someone knocks at the door, peace when people walk by and a relaxed dog in the garden.
I'll show you how your dog really thinks and communicates, so you can build a bond based on trust, not force or fear, and enjoy a dog who wants to listen to you.
Press play, I think this will sound very familiar 👇
Can you relate to this?
Someone knocks at the door and your dog goes mad.
They’re jumping, barking and pacing - it’s complete chaos. You're trying to grab them or shut them in another room just so you can open your own front door, and when you do you can barely hold a conversation.
You're talking over the racket, apologising and wishing they'd just stop for two minutes so you could hear yourself speak. It's embarrassing, and you dread someone knocking or ringing your bell.
It’s the same at the window. Someone walks past and all hell breaks loose. The noise is deafening, you can’t hear yourself think and trying to speak to someone on the phone or watch TV is near impossible.
The garden's no better. You'd love to sit out with a cuppa, but your dog barks at every sound and every movement, it’s not relaxing and you’re worried that the neighbours are getting fed up with the barking too.
You've tried everything. You've told your dog no, you've raised your voice, you've tried just ignoring them. But nothing seems to work.
Of course you love your dog, you wouldn't be without them. But the barking's wearing you down and you feel like you’re at your wits end.
Here's what I want you to know. You're not failing, and you haven't got a bad dog. You've simply never been shown how dogs communicate and why they behave the way they do.
They're speaking a language you simply haven't learned yet. But once you understand what they're trying to tell you, you get the very thing you've wanted all along. Not a dog who never makes a sound, but a dog who gives you a bark or two to let you know someone's there, then settles the moment you ask.
So a knock at the door, someone walking past the window or a noise in the garden no longer turns into a drama. Your dog lets you know, you say the word, and they quieten down. It becomes something you barely notice as you get on with enjoying life together.
And getting there is easier than you might expect. There's no force, no shouting and no gadgets. Just calm leadership, clear communication and a dog who looks to you instead of feeling they have to handle everything themselves.
🐾 What You'll Learn in This Online Course 🐾
Simple, step-by-step videos showing you exactly what to do, so you can enjoy a calm, quiet home and a dog who settles when you ask.
🐾 What's Inside The Online Course 🐾
The course guides you through everything step by step with video lessons featuring real dogs and real-life situations.
You'll discover why your dog barks and the simple change that calms things down, how to settle the chaos at the front door and how to stop the barking at the window and out in the garden.
These methods work for puppies, adult dogs and rescues, whatever the breed or size, even if they've been barking for years.
Here's a lesson straight from the course, where I show you exactly how to stop the barking out in the garden. It's one of the three areas we cover together, so you can see the kind of simple, step-by-step help waiting for you inside.

Here's what dog owners just like you are saying...
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Charlotte Stenae
"Energy is everything. The calm, assertive, almost non-verbal approach to leading the dog works perfectly. Sharon exemplifies this energy in a brilliant manner in the videos. I have learned so much. I use her techniques daily in my job as a dogwalker walking eight dogs. Thank you, Sharon, you are a beautiful dog genius."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Suzanne Brean
"Sharon does an excellent job at providing excellent examples and how to change the behavior. I am loving her lecture series."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Linda Biagini
"I really enjoy Sharon’s instruction method. She is very easy to follow and learn from. Her classes are very to the point and not drawn out with a lot of unnecessary detail. I will be taking more of her classes. :)"

🐾 Choose The Option & Level Of Support That's Right For You 🐾
Whether you just want help with dog barking, support with other unwanted behaviours too, or even dream of working with dogs for a living, there's an option to suit you.
Here's more about them...
This online course is perfect if barking is your only concern. But...
This single course in OPTION 1 will make a huge difference to your dog's barking, so many of my students have told me exactly that.
However, after twenty years of sitting in kitchens with lovely, exhausted dog owners, I know that dogs rarely have just one thing you'd like a bit of help with.
So before you decide, see if any of these sound like life in your house...
If it's just the barking you need help with, then this single course in OPTION 1 has everything you need to get the barking sorted.
But maybe it isn't only the barking. Maybe there are other things too that leave you wondering whether you're doing something wrong. You're not. In fact, many of the owners I meet feel exactly the same, and I've yet to meet a bad dog.
You simply haven't been shown how dogs see the world, or how our own actions can influence the way they behave.
That's what The Good Dogs! Academy is all about.
Instead of buying one course for one problem, you get everything I teach in one place. So whatever your dog does, at any age, you'll always know exactly what to do, without ever feeling stuck or Googling at midnight again.
The same calm, kind philosophy runs through everything I teach, with methods tailored to each behaviour.
If your goal is simply to enjoy a happy, well-behaved dog, OPTION 2 gives you everything you need. And if you've ever dreamed of working with dogs or turning your passion into a successful business, OPTION 3 gives you all of that too.
Both OPTION 2 & OPTION 3 welcome you into The Good Dogs! Academy.
So, let me tell you more about OPTION 2...
Imagine enjoyable walks, peace when the doorbell rings and a dog who listens to what you say.
You'll get all of my behaviour courses, including lead pulling and recall, barking, aggression and puppy training, plus lessons on jumping up, separation anxiety and much more.

🌿 Give Your Dog a Healthier, Happier Life Naturally 🌿
More and more owners are exploring raw feeding and natural approaches, looking for simple ways to support their dogs' health and wellbeing.
Would you love to do the same but have no idea where to start? I've fed my own dogs raw food and cared for them naturally for over twenty years, and I'll show you exactly what to do. You'll discover natural, gentle ways to help your dog to:
🐾 Enjoy calm, settled tummies and better digestion
🐾 Soothe itchy skin and have a glossy, healthy coat
🐾 Support supple joints and easy, comfortable movement
🐾 Reach a healthy weight and stay there
🐾 Feel brighter, calmer and full of natural energy
I always encourage you to work alongside your own vet too. Natural care and good veterinary advice belong together, not in competition.
"I really enjoyed this course because it definitely made this raw feeding process easier to understand. Previously I was at the mercy of internet websites to explain this and was completely lost by all of the somewhat contradictory info. I also appreciate all the info on where to go to find reputable info online. Thank you Sharon!"
Debra Callaway
"I've never felt good about giving my dog antibiotics and other medication but didn’t know what else to do. This has all changed for me as I now feel confident and knowledgeable to naturally treat my dog’s ailments and I have put my dog Jasper on a preventative course to support his joints as he’s getting older. I highly recommend this course."

🐾 There's Even More Inside 🐾
🐾 Fresh content every month, with extra training videos and seasonal advice to help you through everything from fireworks to summer heat. There's always something new to keep you one step ahead
🐾 A private members community on my own site, with a 'wins wall' where you can share your successes and celebrate each other's progress
🐾 Methods that last a lifetime, so whatever your dog does, at any age, you'll know exactly what to do
And as you complete your training inside the Academy, you'll receive your own personalised Certificate of Completion, which is a lovely way to celebrate everything you and your dog have achieved together.
🐾 And There's Even More To Love 🐾
Inside the members' area, you'll find step-by-step video demonstrations showing you exactly how to solve unwanted behaviours in a calm, kind way.
And because every dog and owner is unique, there are opportunities to get your questions answered and receive the reassurance and guidance that can make all the difference.
Here's What to Expect...
🐾 Members' Questions
Some months, I'll answer a selection of members' questions on video, so everyone can learn from the answers and feel reassured they're on the right track.
🐾 The Chance of a Personal Online Consultation
Other months, one member receives a one-to-one online consultation with me about their own dog. The recording is shared inside the members area, so everyone can benefit from the guidance and apply the same principles to their own dogs.
As I no longer offer private home or online consultations, the Good Dogs! Academy is the only place this is now available.
🐾 Would You Love To Turn Your Passion For Dogs Into Something More? 🐾
🐾 Maybe you've dreamed of becoming a dog trainer for years and would love to spend your days working with dogs.
🐾 Maybe you already work with dogs and want to add training to what you offer, so you can earn more from the clients you've already got.
🐾 Maybe you're looking for a flexible side hustle that fits around your life and brings in extra income doing something you love.
No matter which one sounds most like you, the worries are often the same. Can I make money at this? Do I need a degree or expensive certifications? What if I'm not good enough?
In most countries you don't need a degree, a big budget, or years of experience to begin. Over 15,000 students have taken my two business courses, ordinary dog lovers who started exactly where you are now and used them to help build their dream.

🐾 You’re Completely Safe Trying This 🐾
I want you to feel confident about this decision, so there’s no risk on your side. If you purchase a course and it’s not right for you, just email us within 30 days and you’ll receive a full refund - no awkward conversations and no hard feelings.
The memberships have no contracts or tie-ins. You can stay for as long as it’s helping you and your dog, and if you ever want to leave, you can cancel yourself in just a couple of clicks.
I can offer this guarantee with complete confidence because I've seen these methods work for thousands of dogs and their owners over more than twenty years, and I'd love for you to experience this for yourself too.
🐾 Just In Case You're Wondering 🐾
By now, you may already know which option feels right for you. But if there's anything you're still curious about, here are some of the questions I hear most often.
Yes. These methods work for every dog, any age, any breed or any background, because they're based on how all dogs naturally communicate.
I've used them with brand new puppies, nervous rescues and set-in-their-ways older dogs, and the approach is the same. Dogs live in the present moment, so it's never too early or too late to start.
I hear this a lot. A lot of dog training advice just treats the symptom rather than what's actually going on underneath. So the pulling or the barking might improve for a while, but before long it's back again.
This is different because it empowers you. You'll learn how to speak dog and how your dog thinks and communicates, so you know what they're telling you and how to respond in a way that makes sense to them. That's when things change, and often quickly too.
Many of my students see a difference in their very first session, sometimes within minutes. Others take several days of gentle practice. Either way, you'll know you're on the right path almost straight away.
They are completely and utterly kind. There’s no shouting, no forcing and no hitting, ever. Just calm, clear leadership that helps your dog feel safe and understood. You obviously love your dog and want to work with them gently, so rest assured you're in exactly the right place.
I understand, we've all started something with the best intentions and let it slip. This is built to fit around a busy life. The lessons are short and you go at your own pace, on your phone or laptop, whenever suits you, even ten minutes makes a difference.
There's no timetable and no falling behind, you simply pick it up whenever you can. And if you join the Academy, the monthly sessions and the community are there to keep you motivated and cheer you on.
Most of all, once you start seeing your dog respond, you'll want to keep going. And there's no risk either way, the course comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, and the membership you can cancel anytime.
Absolutely. It's all simple step-by-step videos you watch at your own pace, on your phone, tablet or computer, as many times as you like. You just log in with your details and it's all there waiting for you.
The course solves one problem and is yours forever. The Academy gives you all my courses, something new every month, a private community and the chance of personal help from me, all for less than the price of a single course. So if your dog has more than one behaviour you'd like to change, the membership is the better value by far.
That's exactly what the monthly members session is for. Each month there's either a Q&A where I answer members' questions on video, or a personalised online consultation with a member. It's the one place you can get my personal help, since I no longer offer private consultations.
If you buy the course and change your mind, there's a 30-day money-back guarantee. And the membership? Yes, you can cancel anytime. There's no contract and no tie-in, so you can cancel in a couple of clicks whenever you like, though I hope you'll love it and stay!
If you join as one of the first 25 founding members your price stays the same for as long as you're with us.
🐾 Meet Sharon Bolt - Your Trusted Dog Training Expert 🐾
In 2004 we brought home two Parson Russell Terrier puppies, brothers we named Basil and Jake. We were over the moon, but our excitement didn't last long, because every trainer I spoke to warned me I'd made a terrible mistake. Two brothers would constantly compete for the top dog position, they said, and sooner or later I'd have no choice but to rehome one of them.
I simply couldn't imagine giving either of them up.
Instead I set out on a mission to understand how dogs communicate, and how to guide them with calm, kind leadership rather than force or fear.
I'm so glad I did. I kept both boys, and Basil and Jake grew up devoted to each other, living happily together for the rest of their lives.
People couldn't believe how calm and well-behaved the boys were, and they wanted to know how I'd done it. The more I was asked, the more I realised these gentle methods could help so many other dogs and their owners, and that's how Good Dogs! was born.
That was over twenty years ago. Since then I've helped more than 26,000 owners across 175 countries, from everyday families to global pop stars, achieve calm, happy, lasting results with their dogs.
I've been a regular contributor to BBC Radio since 2008 and I'm a columnist for Edition Dog and Edition Dog Professionals. My advice has also featured on ITV, Channel 5, The Guardian, The Independent, the Daily Mail and many more.
These days it's Denzil, my rescue Staffy cross, who keeps me on my toes and reminds me every day that every dog deserves patience, kindness and someone who believes in them.
Whatever you're facing, I'd love to help.
You really can have the dog you've always hoped for and you most definitely can teach old dogs new tricks.
🐾 You Don't Have To Live With The Noise Anymore 🐾
You love your dog with all your heart, but somewhere along the way your home stopped feeling peaceful. Someone knocks and your dog goes mad. They never seem to switch off, reacting to every sound and every movement, and the barking at the window and out in the garden has you worried the neighbours will complain, if they haven't already.
Over time the constant barking has worn you down and left you feeling frazzled in your own home, and you've started to wonder whether you're getting it all wrong.
Perhaps the barking was your main concern when you came here. But as you've read through the page, you may have recognised a few other areas you'd like some help with too.
The good news is none of this has to stay this way. Whether you start with the Stop Dog Barking Fast course or join the Academy for support with everything from lead pulling and puppy problems to separation anxiety and aggression, you'll finally know exactly what to do.
And if you join the Academy, you'll also have the support of our private members' community, the monthly Q&A videos and even the chance of a personal online consultation with me, so you'll never feel like you're trying to work everything out on your own.
Because when you know what to do, everything changes. The barking settles, your home feels peaceful again and you stop second-guessing yourself. Instead of worrying whether you're doing the right thing, you'll finally be able to relax and simply enjoy life with your dog again.
