A little about Alex...

I was raised in a family that love animals and have always had a dog in my life. One of my earliest memories was of our German Shepherd, Rusty. She was a rescue dog taken on by my parents and to this day I can remember being pushed around in my push chair and Rusty would never leave our side, which gave my Mum an immense feeling of security. As you come to realise this isn’t always a good thing as it can lead to problems...

Following Rusty we had a beautiful cross called Kezzie. A lovely natured dog who really was part of the family. Although she used to love playing football in the park, Kezzie was always my Mum's dog and she certainly saw my Mum as a leader. Claire and I married and shortly afterwards we found ourselves at a local rescue centre. Within 24 hours Max was firmly footed in his new home. Apart from his name, poor Max came with nothing; no collar, no lead, no bed and certainly no toys. Whilst giving a needy dog a loving home was extremely important to us, we were a little nervous about adopting a rescue dog. We were told to expect some ‘settling issues’. The first time we left him we were almost too scared to open the door to see what may greet us! Thankfully the warnings couldn’t have been further from the truth and Max was patiently waiting for us when we got back. Max never once grumbled at either Claire or myself but he did have the tendency to grumble and show aggression to others until he got to know them. Walking to heel was terrible!!! He would pull wherever we took him. Despite various, expensive, obedience sessions, with several different trainers, we just could not correct his behaviour problems. We were still left with an anxious, over-excitable, at times aggressive, dog. Not ideal for a family, and certainly not a pleasant state of mind for our beloved Max. I then discovered Bark Busters! When I first saw one of the Bark Buster therapists in action, I was blown away by the results. From that point on I knew that this was my vocation. I have learnt so much from Bark Busters; how important it is to communicate in the correct manner with your dog in a way in which they understand. Finding the answer to the problem behaviour comes from finding out why the behaviour is happening in the first place.
