Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Jo was very patient and took time to understand Stan's behaviour before diagnosing him. She has promised us some follow up context on dog anxiety and left some detailed notes as well so was very helpful

Lee was very friendly and understanding. The process was easy to follow and he constantly reminded me of what I needed to do while learning the routine. So far it seems to have worked. It's helped calm Bear down in some situations and has made him easier for me to control and it was SO SIMPLE. It's allowed me to see what situations he may need further help with and which ones he has responded well too and I now have some idea of what to work on in my next session. So far I'm really pleased with the result and proud of Bear for doing so well, everyone around me can't believe how well it's worked and we now have confidence he will become a more confident dog going forward.

We are extremely happy with an instant improvement. Buddy has not jumped up at us at all. He was very calm this morning when he greeted us. Waiting for visitors to arrive to see how he gets on with meeting them and looking forward to our outside training.

Well time flies by so quickly and we can't believe it's been over a month already since we had our training session with Jacquie, who we have to say was so friendly and easy to talk to and taught us so much in those 3hrs that flew by so quickly. our Molly is a 2yr old Staffie Cross (we think with a high jumping Whippet! Lol) Molly was leaping, mouthing, pulling and jumping on everyone who came near us! Jacquie taught her (kindly) that she was not in charge and taught us not to feel sorry for her but to understand that her past was indeed in the past (mostly caged for 2yrs 24/7 and starved hence the RSPCA rescue, she didn't even know how to play Ball bless her) and this was her future which meant we were in charge and she would learn to respect us... So weeks later she is starting to get her head round what we need from her, she doesn't leap anymore She occasionally jumps up, through excitement, but a quick reminder and she's down She sits in her bed and waits to be invited to say hello to visitors (occasionally forgetting herself, but a quick reminder puts her back in bed. Walking to heel is still ongoing and can be quite good until she sees a bird, butterfly, bee, basically anything that moves!! But we're not giving up on the training as our hands are no longer sore from her previous pulling, we just think this little girl has special needs and takes a bit longer to register what we're wanting her to do. Recall is good as we blow the whistle she relates to her food (another training aid suggested by Jacquie, yaay) My frail 88 yr old Mum came over for a visit again this week, and for the first time I didn't have to put Molly on lead around the house and Mum was able to sit peacefully in the chair, an odd reminder from Mum to not come up and Molly walked away, plus getting up to walk around Molly didn't jump up one her. Molly still has her moments of madness but these are getting less over the weeks of training and as long as we stay consistent we're pretty sure she will continue to improve. All training given was kind and caring, no harsh methods used, so we're very pleased with the results so far. All in all we can't thank Jacquie enough for her help, we believe we have the makings of a fantastic little girl, rescue dogs can be the best pets with the right trainers. Thanks again Bark Busters/Jacquie

I was really amazed at how quickly the training and techniques used helped me with the problems I had with my dogs. Kevin was very calm patient and helpful. It really showed too how he enjoyed working with the dogs and they felt that also. I will continue with the techniques used and its good to know if I have any further problems in the future I can contact Kevin for advice and help.

I've just finished my first training lesson with Alex. Both me and jax have been taught some very simple and effective tequniques that have already helped massively! In half a day I can now move around the house without jax needing to follow me EVERYWHERE & sit crying when I close the door on him, he's getting much better on his lead as before Alex came I tended to keep him off the lead because it was just the easy option. ( never good ) Jax is now walking at my heal amazingly and isn't chewing his lead or playing tug with the lead as much. I was given great feedback and a little programme to continue the work. Already I've been doing bits throughout the day & Jax is really geting the hang of things. Very impressed. As soon as Alex came to my house I felt comfortable with him and he understood that to me Jax is like a child rather than just a dog. Most dog trainers disagree with treating a dog like a family member but I didn't get that feel from Alex, he wasn't judgmental at all and I felt like I was allowed to continue to treat Jax how I wanted to and not told off from doing so. Today I went with the one off payment plan as we both agreed Jax was well behaved and picked everything up very quickly however if I ever feel I need to train him in other aspects or need some further help I will 100% be calling Alex to come out to see us again. We've had a Great day training today! Thank you Alex Hayley & Jax.

instilled confidence in me from the outset and was overwhelmed with how much Cass respected his methods. Was so impressed in the space of 30 mins that I changed from 12 months plan to lifetime and this was all down to Lee.

Excellent support from Angela. First session was very helpful and a lot of time was spent listening and helping, lots of exercises to practice which have made a huge difference already after one week. Very pleased

Found Lee to be very patient and understanding. He explained things very clearly, ensuring we understood how to move forward with our dog.

Graham was excellent , he took his time to explain everything and answered all of our questions . We felt very at ease , and Archie responded to him very well.

jacko changed when alex came into our house excellent training very relaxed took his time to explaine would recomend alex to anyone top marks thank you barry and jackie

Really cannot thank Kevin enough, our dogs are so much more calm now and obedient within one day. They used to constantly play fight with one another and not listen to us but now they will walk past each other in the garden and not take notice and are always looking at ways to please us. Our Rottweiler, Marley was a nightmare on the lead and he was not enjoyable to walk but now we can walk him anywhere without him pulling. Would highly recommend Kevin to anyone!
