6th February 2020 - Gina Williams

Gina dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall

Gina gave the training in a good clear voice and demonstrated in a positive way which dog and I appreciated . I fully understand the reasoning behind the training and am doing my best to follow it. I am getting on well with â€œâ€stayâ€ and making her listen to me but not so well on jumping up.

Trainer note from Gina

We'll get a revisit arranged asap to work on the areas you're struggling with, such as jumping up.Â It's usually consistency and timing that'll need a little work on.Â Â

6th February 2020 - Lynn Prentice

Lynn dealt with Pulling, Separation anxiety

From the moment Lynn entered my dwelling her confidence and professionalism gain total trust not just with my dog Candy but me as well. I have decided to have a professional with me to evaluate my methods of training as I have Belgian Malinois, and I wanted to make sure that I am on a right track with her rather than to allow her to get on bed behavior. Lynn, was brilliant from the moment she has seen Candy and with few adjustments at home, she was eager to take us out and show me how to correct issues I have had with leash and lead. I am happy to announce that after only a day my walks with Candy are much better and there is no tension on the lead. Long way to go and far from ideal but we are on the right track. I recommend every single dog owner even if you do not have issues with your young dog to have Lynn or anybody from Bark Busters to evaluate your approach. I guarantee that this would be better for you and your dog in the long run. After all, even experienced dog owners when they have a new dog can make few mistakes therefore professional input can be second to none.

6th February 2020 - Gavin Chambers

Gavin dealt with Chewing, Puppy management, Toileting

Gavin gave me a lot of insights into the mind of a puppy. I was eager to stop any bad habits (mine as well as Stanley's) but also explained that a lot of behaviour is normal for a dog of his age. Gavin obviously loves dogs and is definitely in the right job. Knowing that I can contact him when I need to is a big comfort. Felt a bit silly growling at the dog and I'm obviously not fierce enough as his response is very hit and miss but I will update Gavin tomorrow and try to get some more tips. Enjoyed the session very much.

Trainer note from Gavin

Thanks for the lovely review, you have made a great start with Stanley, and you will soon be going from strength to strengthÂ
Enjoy your training, Gavin

5th February 2020 - Lynn Prentice

Lynn dealt with Puppy management

Lynn has been a fantastic support for me. I have two (unrelated) puppies and need to get them trained and behaving well as soon as possible. At our first session Lynn explained about diet, behavior, leadership and we practiced a number of training methods, which I think continued. We spoke regularly on the phone after this so that I could provide updates, and on our most recent call I explained that one puppy was barking at everything and everyone when we were out. Lynn advised that she makes another house visit, which we arranged for a few days later. During this session we worked on some training and I even saw immediate results in the puppy's behaviour. It is great to know that Lynn is accessible and able to help me address anything before it becomes a real and long term issue.

3rd February 2020 - Kevin McDonnell

Kevin dealt with Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall, Sibling rivalry

That training was nothing short of miraculous! I am not easily impressed but this was amazing. Kevin was friendly, fun, unrushed and easy to learn from. I was initially hesitant about the cost but it was worth every penny, particularly as both my dogs were helped. I think I needed the most training and if I forget anything (because we covered a lot in the time) I am so pleased that I can ask Kevin for help at any time. It's nice to know you are not left to get on with it after the training is over. The results were instant - I could not believe my eyes! I would recommend Kevin to anyone in need of help with their dog. Brilliant!! Thank you Kevin!!

2nd February 2020 - Alex Fraser

Alex dealt with Barking, Pulling, Separation anxiety

I found Alex (Bark Busters) through the internet. I put feelers out to several people but Alex was the first one back to me. We had an indepth convo at the telephone where Alex quickly assessed that Chester had taken over as the alpha male in our home; so we made an appointment for a visit here at home. Alex was timely. We spent a pleasant amusing three hours training ME (and Chester) on who was the real alpha. We all three got on splendidly and progress is being made albeit slowly. The random barking is abating and Chester's 'me first' mindset has seen a sea change thanks to Alex's friendly informative training. Its worth mentioning that I didn't feel judged for my lack of dog skills (Chester being our first dog) or patronised. I would highly recommend Alex as a behaviourist in your home should you struggle with hierarchy problems.

Graham dealt with Puppy management

Graham is incredible, he has the answer/technique for everything. I am completely new to training a puppy, he has been understanding, patient and thorough in everything that he has taught us so far. Thank you for your help.

- -.S, Wallington, Surrey (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Graham

Rusty is an Irish Doodle puppy who was playing too roughly with his humans. Later on, he got scared of cars when walking on the pavement. We addressed both of these problems as well as covering all of the puppy basics. Rusty is doing really well now and his humans are having a great time with a lovely puppy.

30th January 2020 - Neil Price

Neil dealt with Aggression, Pulling, Recall

We instantly warmed to Neil and his friendly manner with our dog. I loved that he included my two children in discussions and training. I felt I could be open and honest with Neil about issues and he was very reassuring. He supported us with humour and understanding and I have full confidence in his skills and knowledge of dogs and training. We all thoroughly enjoyed the initial session and activities left have been fun, helpful and are achievable. I felt very relieved and optimistic after the first session and am looking forward to future training.

28th January 2020 - Liz Johnson

Liz dealt with Puppy management, Recall, Sibling rivalry, Toileting

Liz was very professional and fully explained the training procedure which both dogs responded to immediately. It is now almost a week since the first session and we can see a huge difference in both dogs who now can lie beside each other rather than chasing and biting.
