3rd May 2013 - Neil Price
Neil dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Misty is very comfortable around Neil and responds well to direction given by him to us so we can maintain control but at the same time Misty can remain the happy lively dog that she is. We are very please with the results so far and are looking forward to Misty being a well behaved and well trained dog ( she is almost there )
1st May 2013 - Sharon Chapman
Sharon dealt with Jumping up, Pulling
Tonight was our first session with Sharon, she gave us lots of easy to understand advice and helped us to learn how to continue training Breagh who is an eleven month old border collie. We were given advice on her diet as well as her obedience. Breagh responded really well and we have the confidence to continue until we see Sharon again in another two weeks.
Thanks Sharon.

Alex dealt with Aggression, Hyperactivity, Pulling
Alex is fabulous with my dog Zak. He obeyed every command Alex gave him. I am so pleased! I know feel I am getting somewhere with Zak. His training on the lead was great. I now take Zak for a walk rather than the other way round. And my commands in the house are finally getting through to Zak. I have even stopped ripping my hair out! Thank you so much Alex
Trainer note from Alex
It has been my pleasure to pick up with Zak who's owner came to me as one of our existing "Gold Customers" following new issues arising. Zak is responding brilliantly, as is his owner!

24th April 2013 - Lee Hardy
Lee dealt with Barking, Jumping up
Lee is an excellent therapist. He listened very carefully and was very thorough. Lee was extremely clear and prompted an amazing level of calm in our dog. The effects on his behaviour were immediate and profound. Lee was extremly sympathtic to the needs of Jasper and our household. He has already shown us some superb techniques for instilling calm and obedience. Jasper is already becoming a much happier and more settled dog. We couldn't be more pleased with Lee's help thus far and would warmly recommend his services to others.

Lee dealt with Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall
Lee has an excellent understanding of dogs. Northern Inuit / husky breeds are notoriously stubborn and difficult to retrain if the puppy years went by too fast. Lee has really helped my understanding of the habits of Thourne when he's pulling and trying to run off after everything that moves outside.
Thourne isn't perfect yet, but he's a lot better after following Lee's advice and I'm seeing a vast improvement as the weeks go on.

Lee dealt with Barking, Pulling
We were very impressed with Lee. He gave us a simple word to try and control Nelson barking. We are progressing slowly with this and with Lee's help, I am sure the problem will be solved.
22nd April 2013 - Graham Milgrew
Graham dealt with Barking, Chewing, Digging, Hyperactivity, Recall
Jo has helped us so much in a short space of time. She gave us simple advice and tips for helping to control and become leader to our 'minding' dog Tilly. She is extremely knowledgeable and helped us to understand why Tilly was behaving in the way she was. She is very easy to get on with, makes you feel comfortable and is understanding regarding any training issues - also she is always on hand with advice! Although Tilly is still a work in progress (it's early days and she's a very strong willed little girl!) I would recommend Jo to anyone having behaviour problems with their pooch.
Trainer note from Graham
Tilly is a lovely little Yorkshire terrier/poodle cross who insists on "minding" her owners and their home. This is a type of guarding so she barks out of the windows to chase people away and constantly demands attention from her owners to the point of exhausting her owners with her game playing. When she isn't getting them to play or pay attention to her she is digging at the floors and furniture and chewing. Dogs like Tilly don't have an "off" switch and they need good leadership (i.e. the sort of good parenting a boisterous child needs)so she can learn to behave appropriately. She is fortunate to have owners who are prepared to train and educate Tilly and they have thrown themselves whole heartedly into teaching Tilly good behaviour rather than simply telling her off for bad behaviour. They have made great progress to date and I have every confidence that they will continue to do so.

Lee dealt with Aggression, Barking
Lee was excellent, his technique and advice was second to none. Minnie responded very well to the training techniques advised by Lee and we are really confident that she will be a changed dog over the coming weeks. We are already feeling a lot better and glad we made the call to Bark Busters!! Thanks Lee!!!
20th April 2013 - Alex Fraser
Alex dealt with Barking, Pulling
Alex's approach was calm and professional. He listened to us and didn't try to impress us with our dog i.e. how he could handle our dog. We didn't feel he tried to take over from us (which we have experienced with other trainers, which we we didn't find useful and Merlin certainly didn't find useful!)
We were very happy with Alex's approach and style of working with us. He was also very honest.
19th April 2013 - Lee Hardy
Lee dealt with Aggression, Barking, Chewing, Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Puppy management, Separation anxiety, Toileting
The training was exceptionally good and the reasoning behind each technique was explained fully. Lee was very friendly and was happy to spend as long as was required at our home to make sure we were completely happy with the training. Our border terrier, Ernie, responded immediately to the techniques and we were amazed at how quickly he learnt them. Lee outlined our training plan for the future and said that we could contact him at any time. We look forward to seeing him again in a couple of weeks.
18th April 2013 - Sharon Chapman
Sharon dealt with Aggression
Sharon spent a lot if time with us and identified things that we hadn't noticed was happening. The homework has been achievable and we've seen some improvements already. It gave us enthusiasm and knowledge on how to help us tackle the problems
