My problems as a dog owner started many years ago when I had a rescue Dobermann, Henry. He never did as I requested, would bully visitors and barked all the time. Even more worryingly, he then started to attack my partner and myself.
We discussed Henry's problems with/talked to our vet and tried the local dog club, but everyone had the same answer - put him to sleep. We persevered until the attacks got too bad and had to make that heart breaking decision.
If only I knew then what I know now, he would have had a happy and relaxed life until old age. Unfortunately Bark Busters was not around back then.
You can imagine my concern when my standard schnauzer, at 6 months, started howling at 4am, destroying the kitchen when I went out and jumped up at everyone to the point of climbing on people. I knew I had to do something and promptly began searching on the Internet. Thankfully I came across Bark Busters and called them immediately to relay my tale.
A session was arranged; the Therapist was amazingly patient especially as Monty climbed on top of her! I explained the rest of the problems, she showed me some simple training techniques and I saw a fantastic change in him straight away. I worked on the programme I was left and he has changed dramatically. I was so impressed.
However, I couldn't get Henry out of my mind and wondered how many other people are going through the same trauma. I wanted to know how I could help other owners and their dogs, so I contacted Head Office at Bark Busters and after meeting with Tony and Carol, I knew this was the life for me.
Now I understand how I could have helped Henry and know that I'll never be put in that position again. I can make sure you do not have to make that awful decision by helping you to train your dog, whatever the problem.
How lucky am I to live the dream!

It has only been two days since Diane came to see us and already my dogs Heidi and Lilly are responding to the training. I would not have believed it possible, thank you.

Diane explained everything very clearly, very informative and the basic steps she advised we have put in place and they have worked. After 3 days Doods is already waiting to go through doors and sleeping through the night in his cage/bed. As we have only just started the new techniques and are happy we hope this will carry on. I would also like to say about the advise via email, I wasn't quite sure on a few things but the quick response from Diane helped a lot. Thanks Diane.

Diane was brilliant, punctual, polite, professional. Why didn't I do this ages ago! George is a different dog I cannot believe the change in him. He is so more relaxed and so am I. The stress has gone from both of us, words cannot explain how I feel. There was a change in him during the first session with Diane. I had to keep checking on him the day after the training to make sure he was still breathing as he was so quiet. I hope he does not regress but if he does Diane is just a phone call away. Many Thanks.
