Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials
17th January 2022 - Alex Fraser
I am not a review writer. But Alex 100% deserves one! He came to work with ME & also my dog Rufus. I put me in capitals as it is me who did not have the right knowledge or tools to deal with some of Rufus’s behaviours. Examples- constant barking at any noise, destroying Mail, following me everywhere(even the loo????) going crazy at someone knocking on the front door(and I mean crazy) trying to control guests and me by barking over conversations until the guest gives in and sits so he can sit on them(on guard) and control. When I wrote to Alex to ask for Help I described Rufus as a idiot as he was acting like one??????? In just 3hours I can safely say that Alex has changed our lives. I can not express my gratitude for the transformation I can see in Rufus in not even one day. I have continued to use Alex’s methods and I am completely gobsmacked that Rufus is actually listening and obeying me. Moving forward, I am excited to see where this can go as Rufus is relaxed and it’s almost like he was waiting for this guidance and likes the boundaries, it was Me who didn’t know how. And it doesn’t involve shouting, screaming or giving in to Rufus. I can now see he isn’t a idiot at all. I was just not being clear about what I wanted or how to do it. Alex is a lovely man. There’s no judgement and I felt immediately comfortable . He explains everything clearly and he shares valuable knowledge giving clear instructions on how to deal with particular unwanted behaviours. Bottom line, if you need help with your ‘idiot’ and your reading this, don’t bother searching any further. Alex is open and honest, and offers further support if required. He also sends lots of info via email in relation to Diet etc. Thanks again Alex. Jo & Rufus!!!
Trainer note from Alex
Really enjoyed todays session and after a lot of barking at the start, Rufus started to listen to his Mummy. He also walked walked like a dream and apparently he used to pull like a train. He does get over excited when anybody knocks at the front door and some behavioural issues take longer to fix than others, but I’m confident they’ll get there. At the end of the session he was so much calmer and he was fast asleep when I left. keep up the good work!

Gina was very good, she picked up quickly what training I needed to support Pebbles.
13th January 2022 - Gavin Chambers
Gavin dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling
Gavin spent 4 hours teaching us things about our dogs how they were fed a how to stop unacceptable behaviour we found this very interesting and helpful Ferna a new puppy rescue was causing us particular problems putting the training into action with Gavin’s oversight was immediately beneficial and Ferna’s behaviour improved Ferna started to understand what we wanted or was he teaching us the proper way to communicate with her. This behaviour has continued to improve and in less than a week she has improved beyond recognition but we still have a long way to go

3rd January 2022 - Estelle Jackson
Estelle dealt with Separation anxiety, Other
Estelle has great knowledge and insight into dogs psychology and the fact that the service is provided in the home so that issues can be seen in real time really helps her to provide the right advice for each individual. She demonstrated the steps to take to help with my dogs anxiety around getting in a car, made sure I could replicate it and also provided a write up of the lesson so that I had clear instructions on how to proceed. On Estelle's second visit my dog actually got into the car, something I never thought would happen, especially after just a couple of weeks! We can now go for short drives to visit family and to go to other places for walks. It made my Christmas! We're now working on seperation issues and so far so good. Would highly recommend working with Bark Busters.

Kevin dealt with Aggression
Well we're do I start? Kevin was very professional, we felt so comfortable as soon as he walked in the door. The results we have seen since Kevin arrived are astonishing and cannot believe how everything worked. It has changed our lives. Thank you!
30th December 2021 - Estelle Jackson
Estelle dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall
We were so pleased that Estelle came to our house so she could see Bertie's behaviour first hand. She quickly identified the issues. It was difficult to hear that we had created the problems but we are now better equipped to deal with them. Estelle prioritised the behaviours that we need to address immediately mainly attention seeking, excited jumping and nipping, barging through doors and lead walking. She sent us a training plan the next morning which we are following. We accept that it is early days and it will take hard work, persistence and consistency but with Estelle's help we are confident that Bertie is on the right path and will become a much calmer and better behaved member of our family.

Alex dealt with Hyperactivity, Pulling
It's been almost 2 weeks since the training and just one visit has made a difference. There's no more lead pulling, Lennie is more calm with continued training and noticed he is less aggressive towards strangers. Alex has been amazing and given some really good advice. I would recommend Bark Busters.

23rd December 2021 - Neil Price
Neil dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling
Neil was fabulous! He was calming for our two excitable boys. Didn't make us feel bad for the boys behaviour. Gave us practical hints and tips to work on over Christmas and when to get back in touch. So far, I would recommend him to others and have done already.

14th December 2021 - Shauna Hoey
Shauna dealt with Other
The lesson was really good. Shauna was very helpful and explained why my dog was behaving like he was and how what we're going to do is going to fix this. She was very clear and precise but also very friendly and informative and explained how follow up sessions would work and if we had any questions that we could contact her before our next check up
