Reviews & Testimonials For Alex Fraser

Alex dealt with Barking, Pulling, Separation anxiety

I found Alex (Bark Busters) through the internet. I put feelers out to several people but Alex was the first one back to me. We had an indepth convo at the telephone where Alex quickly assessed that Chester had taken over as the alpha male in our home; so we made an appointment for a visit here at home. Alex was timely. We spent a pleasant amusing three hours training ME (and Chester) on who was the real alpha. We all three got on splendidly and progress is being made albeit slowly. The random barking is abating and Chester's 'me first' mindset has seen a sea change thanks to Alex's friendly informative training. Its worth mentioning that I didn't feel judged for my lack of dog skills (Chester being our first dog) or patronised. I would highly recommend Alex as a behaviourist in your home should you struggle with hierarchy problems.

Alex dealt with Puppy management

Alex is a down to earth guy with no pretentious qualities (many dog trainers have a lot!) It was easy to get on board with his training techniques and they do appear to be working. So far we're very pleased.

Alex dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety, Toileting

Alex was a pleasure to have with us for our first training session with our dog, Buddy. Alex calmly explained the help he thought Buddy needed and also explained that it was myself who needed a little training too. Buddy followed all the advice and training techniques demonstrated by Alex and responded well when we tried them. Buddy is so much calmer and within a few days started showing significant improvement. There are still things I myself need to implement more on a daily basis as it is unfair to Buddy not to maintain such good training advice and technique.

Alex dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Separation anxiety

Alex was great. Within a couple of hours Zulu was much calmer and listening to us and responding. We have continued with the techniques taught to us and Zulu is listening - we know it's an ongoing training need so look forward to our next training session with Alex.

Alex dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Separation anxiety

Alex is fantastic my Dogs are very chatty when anyone knocks on the door and from just having our first training session they have shown a great improvement. I have learnt to be more of a leader with them rather than a soft mum. Telling Alex all the issues I have with them, he showed me how to deal with them and my dogs reacted to his command straight away almost making me out to be a liar like butter wouldn't melt in their mouths......Jasper and Millie have picked up very quickly how to behave and I just need to implement this every day with them training myself more to be in control rather than them. I'm looking forward to our next training lesson and hoping to show Alex well behaved dogs. I highly recommend Bark Busters, they are so helpful and always there to give advice anytime.

Trainer note from Alex

Great session today! Both dogs responded really well to the training techniques used. I canâ€™t wait to catch up with them all in a few weeks to see how they are both doing!

Alex dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling

Alex taught us simple techniques to reorient the relationship between us and our 2-year old dog. The exercises Alex showed us could be done quickly and are easy to assimilate into our busy lives. He was patient teaching us how to handle our dog and our dog responded well very quickly. The key will now be employing what Alex taught us consistently, but Alex provided us with a great foundation.

Trainer note from Alex

This was a really good session. I went to help them with their younger dog, but whilst their we did a little work with their older dog as well. By the time we finished both dogs were listening better in the home and were both walking much better on their leads.

Alex dealt with Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Puppy management, Recall

Alex was really friendly and we made good progress with Reggie (6month old cockapoo boy) within the first hour. By the end of the session, I had several techniques to keep him in check and by the end of the same day, I'd all but managed to stop Reggie jumping up to me. This is an ongoing process, of course, but for one day I'm very pleased. We also did some lead work and this morning Reggie walked for about 20-25 minutes through central Manchester consistently at heel. I thoroughly recommend Alex to anyone needing some help with their dogs.

Trainer note from Alex

I love working with first time puppy owners. Some puppies are naturally easier to train than others, but all benefit from simple ground rules. Reggie was already doing really well, but by the time we finished he was walking really well to heel. Canâ€™t wait to catch up with Reggie and his owner in a few weeks.

We have been so impressed with the training. Alex spent a good 3 hours working with us and showing us how to work with our dogs effectively. We have continued to put into practice all the techniques and tips and they are responding well. Alex has an amazing way with the dogs and it is clear that he enjoys what he does as they instantly responded positively towards him.

Trainer note from Alex

2 lovely Cockapoos who were generally well behaved, but they had been busy training their owners. My training is really about training the owners rather than their dogs as it is more important they listen to them rather than me. With some simple ground rules, both dogs started to listen better and both walked really well to heel. Iâ€™m looking forward catching up with them soon.Â

Alex dealt with Aggression, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling

Alex was very thorough and explained the mechanics and theory behind the training so we understood as dog owners why the changes in managing Vera were necessary. Vera responded really well inside the house and outside and the change in behaviour was noticeable within days. Vera's lead control is better already and we will continue to work with Alex over the next 12 months with Vera's anxiety with dogs and cars while on the lead. It has only been 8 days since the training session and things are going well.

Alex dealt with Puppy management

We had our first lesson with our new puppy Bob, a springer spaniel! Our teacher was Alex, very good at his job, very friendly, very knowledgeable about the training, we seem to be doing ok with the training! As he made it look easy steps to follow! He gave us plenty of time to cover lots of areas of training we needed with our puppy! Due to book more sessions as we feel it would be good to catch up to see our progress! Very pleased with Alex's training plan, he was very informative, and his love of Dogs shone through. Can't wait for our next lesson. There was no pressure to book again but the offer is there to take up!
