Jo is fantastic, we can't recommend her highly enough to anybody who is struggling with dog behavioural problems. We have two Yorkshire Terrier x Jack Russell males who barked and behaved uncontrollably whenever anybody came to the house. We also had separation anxiety issues and Jo completely identified both sets of problems we were having and has given us excellent advice on ways to address the bad behaviour. She also explained why the dogs behave the way they do which makes it easier use the techniques in the right way. For us, it is still a 'work in progress' but Jo is always available to give advice and support. Jo has shown us how to be in control of our dogs which immediately made our dogs happier and more settled.

Everything is going really well and most problems are down to me making mistakes not Lola...The training is going well some things Lola learned almost immediately and friends have noticed a huge difference in her.

Bella and Hattie are generally well behaved but we felt we needed some help with Hattie in particular. Being a Lurcher letting her off the lead was always a bit of a lottery and Lynn has shown us the steps to take to improve Hattie's recall and general obedience. Lynn has also helped us to change the behaviour of both dogs (and us) especially walking to heel so no more pulling on the leads! Her help has been invaluable in helping us understand our dogs better and by small changes in our approach to discipline has immensely improved our relation ship with our dogs.

What can I say. My only regret is that I did not find Alex sooner. I'm genuinely amazed at the difference Alex has made. My dog is not young, I've tried other training before which taught the usual sit, stay, etc etc. He knew fine well what heel meant - there was just no way I could ever get him to do it outside of the controlled environment of a training class. Plus he hated it, as, I must admit, did I!!! Well, no more!! Alex does not teach 'tricks', he teaches you to understand how to relate to your dog in ways they will understand, and there is no doubt, IT WORKS! I really enjoyed our session, but, most importantly so did my dog. Thank you Alex, we now proudly walk, rather than being dragged, down the street. I also have full control of all aspects of his behaviour. Meeting other male dogs used to fill me with dread but, that too, is a thing of the past. WINNER! Thumbs up from this very proud owner and her calmer, happier dog.

Blown away with the results after Alex's first visit. Sunday is a great dog with bags of personality but she was the boss and had me wrapped around her paws. Alex has given me the confidence and ability to take positive control of her behaviour. Before our training with Alex I used to get dragged to the park but now we walk, dog at my side, under my full control. Alex has also given me the expertise to keep Sunday's behaviour in check at home. I can now be the boss of my household again and can look forward to inviting friends over without the usual worry of the dog jumping up and demanding attention. Stressful times have gone and I can't stop grinning. The results really are amazing - Huge thumbs up from me Alex- Thank you so much for your help!!!!!!!!

Lynn was very business-like .She had lots of practical suggestions as to how we were to take control of Toby so as to prevent him jumping up and bullying us. She gave us a great deal of confidence. Toby's behavior improved almost immediately. I wish we had contacted BarkBusters before.

Teddy & Derek didn't have the best start in life being in a rescue centre in Spain for the first 5 months of their lives and having very little human contact. We felt we had made good progress in integrating these frightened little dogs into the family and giving them a happy and stable home. However, there were still a few things they did that we were not happy with, in particular they would jump up and bark at small children. Jo explained to us, why the dogs reacted the way they did to children. She also pointed out how they reacted to one another, to us and more importantly how we reacted to them, and what we were doing wrong!. She explained what needed to be done to overcome the problems we are having and left us with some exercises to get us started. We are already seeing a difference in the way 'the boys' react to each other and to us and we are looking forward to continuing to work with Jo to resolve the issues we have. I have already recommended Jo to a number of people and wouldn't hesitate to do so in the future.

Its early days but after the first session we are confident that our dog's behaviour can be turned around. The techniques are simple and effective

We were very happy with the techniques our therapist showed us in order to help us address some of Blue's behaviour. We feel he is a much happier dog. We followed the nutritional advice given and Blue adapted to his new diet well. We are still training Blue but it is so much easier when you have an understanding of why your dog behaves in a certain manner.

From the beginning of the session, we had a very positive experience. All techniques were explained clearly and are easy to follow and use. A very relaxed but thoroughly informative meeting which has made Denzal a happier dog and life with him much more enjoyable, so happier owners. Being able to speak "dog" is fabulous
