Excellent lesson

So pleased with Gavins advice today. We started early as have a new puppy and Gavin gave us great starter advice and how to progress with her. I feel more confident now going forward and am looking forward to our next lesson.

We had a really useful, in depth session which is already giving good results. The expertise shown by Liz is absolutely top notch, inspiring confidence in her guidance.

Ben has been amazing after 1 lesson our dog Beryl is like a different dog.

Enjoyed our first lesson

The dog lady was lovely and spoke thru everything, explained vey clearly and help us very much

Emma came to us a month ago when our 2 dogs were fighting multiple times a day. We were having to separate them at all times and they couldn’t be trusted outside of their crates together. We were really worried we were going to have to rehome one of them, but with the training Emma put in place we really have noticed a difference. She taught us how to deal with when our dogs are misbehaving and told us about passive leadership and how to combat it. In the space of a month we’ve went from not being able to have our dogs in the same room to our dogs sleeping on the same bed and playing together. Emma’s guidance and the consistent training has massively improved our relationship with our dogs and, carrying on with the training, we can’t wait to see them grow even more! A big thank you to Emma, she is absolutely fantastic and we would highly recommend.

We rescued Max in December 2024. He was born on the streets and when he came to us from rescue/foster, he was extremely timid. He also had no idea of recall. Taking him out for a walk was awful, his tail permanently tucked under him. Any traffic that went passed he shook. Any people in front or behind us, he panicked. We got as far as we could with him and there was slight improvement but we decided to get in touch with Bark Busters when we realised we couldn't do anymore to help him. Within 30 minutes of me emailing Bark Busters, a lady rung me to discuss Max's problems. She said that the person who was most suited to Max's needs, was a lady called Shauna and booked us in for a Training session. It's the best thing we could have done for Max. Shauna was great with him. She taught us how to help deal with his problems by showing us certain techniques and explained that it can take a while but with practice we would get there in the end. I would definately recommend Bark Busters to anyone that needs help with their dog.

Kirsty has enabled us to have confidence that we can do what we set out to achieve (to give a permanent home to a 3 year old Rottweiler along with our existing dog). She listened in a non-judgemental way to the techniques we had been bumbling about trying! She enquired what we needed for our individual circumstances and enabled us to take control and be Peggy’s leader. She has already settled enormously and is accepting the new way of life. We have work to do on walks, but we realise that this will be an ongoing commitment on our part. Peggy is a happier dog (so is Doris) and we are much more confident.

Sharon was fabulous! She helped us with a number of issues with our two overexcited dogs and less than a week in, we are already seeing some improvements in their behaviour and manners. She spent a lot of time with each dog individually to observe their specific needs, as well as observing us to point out all the things we were doing that were counter productive and creating confusion for our dogs. The advice and lesson plan were really practical, very achievable, and it was great that she showed us how to do each command, game, routine to ensure we were doing them right. The amount of times we thought 'oh yes, that's obvious...now you've pointed it out' really brought home how our small actions were having huge impacts on our dogs. And we had lots of bad habits! We have now changed our dogs diets (they say thank you - they love it!), have a list of the new 'rules' and 'clear commands' pinned on the fridge (for us to read, not the dogs!), and have a daily training plan which is fun, easy to stick to and is seeing results. Things are still a work-in-progress, but I wish we'd brought Sharon in months ago. Highly recommend.

We were very happy with Shauna, she was very good.
