Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Angela came round into a house of a couple and their boss... Reggie the German Shepherd!! After showing us some really good techniques about how to show Reg I was his boss (Alex wasn't too shabby at it anyway) Angela went away leaving us with some simple training games, and some new behaviours for me to learn. (Turns out I needed quite some training!) We have just had our second visit this evening and what a difference a month makes!!! We have used everything we have been taught and Angela has just been welcomed by a completely different dog. Reggie used to pull on his lead, jump up at everyone and basically never leave either of us alone. Whenever we had visitors Reg would never leave them and constantly be in there face and jumping up. Sometimes even mouthing people. I physically could not walk Reggie and struggled looking after him on a day to day basis. Everything is completely different now with Angela's help. I can walk Reggie with ease on my own and enjoy our walks together. He also does not jump up at people walking in the house and has generally just calmed down into a brilliant dog. I didn't realise that I was making Reggie's behaviour worse due to how I was acting and not being the leader that I needed to be. Reggie is such a happy puppy now and is much calmer, relaxed and enjoyable to be around for everyone. (Although we still have zoomies!) Angela has changed our whole relationship with Reggie. He now sees us properly as his parents, his leaders and more importantly people who will look after him. I could not be happier with the training we have received and it has changed our life for the better. Please do not put off your dog training any longer and ring Angela straight away!!!

Graham is a excellent trainer,he is so calm his calm energy is transferred to the dog. Graham came to see us as we had recently adopted a 10 month old Bullmastiff crossbred and needed some help with obedience training and his hyperactivity. By the time Graham left we had the tools to start work on his basic training. Graham also made an extra visit today for a short while to help us address a recent issue. I'm so glad we decided to contact Bark busters & I would definitely recommend Graham.

Shauna was excellent with Toby and gave us lots of great advice. We will look forward to more training sessions with Shauna soon.

Very informative and impressive first session. Duffy very responsive to techniques shown- I guess it's now over to us to practice!

I would highly recommend the trainer Alex, Toby used to tug at the lead and pull when he went for a walk, after the first session Alex recommended the harness, which worked really for Toby, after the first session Toby is now well behaved when he goes for a walk, I am very pleased to have found a trainer like Alex because it has helped a lot and Toby is already better behaved.

Really good. Got to the root cause of Brucie's problems. I've noticed a remarkable difference in his calmness since.

Under foot treats practiced and carried out satisfactorily Obedience training in house and garden still working on. Sometimes does as she is told when she feels like it. Passive leadership getting better slowly. Does not always do anything when let out into the back garden when requested but getting better on the 2nd visit to the door. Has been sitting down when people come into the house but soon forgets and tries to slope towards them on the carpet. Still jumps about in car when left to go into shop.

Really great training. Gina was fantastic at explaining why our dog has behavioural issues and helped all of us understand what we needed to do. The impact and benefit of the training was immediate and Fitch is much happier and we all are too. We continuing to work with the training guidelines she left us with and actually enjoying Fitch instead of worrying about his temperament all the time. A worthwhile investment.

Graham was patient and very helpful and took time to explain things to use. It was a very enlightening session.

We got in touch with Alex for help with our 2 year old Mastiff. Rollo jumps at certain people when they enter the house, has a tendency to pull on the lead when he see's another animal (cat, horse, fox) and barks aggressively at people passing our gate. On his first visit Alex was very informative and explained the reasons why Rollo was doing these behaviours and exactly how we were going to stop them. We have only seen Alex twice and already there is a big difference in Rollo on the lead and we can now walk past horses without him reacting (which we never thought we would be able to do)! We cant thank Alex enough and we look forward to what we can achieve with him and Rollo in the future.

We found Kevin McDonnell to be very knowledgeable. The advice was given in stages that were clear & informative & he also explained the reasons behind the behaviour rather than just the answers to the problems which enables you to correct the issues with the knowledge behind the problem. Can't recommend highly enough it has been money well spent with a huge improvement even on day one.
