Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Patient Therapist who listened and it worked. Dog much calmer does as told more often than not, a more enjoyable dog to live with

We really enjoyed meeting Lynn, she seemed very relaxed and started working with us right away, she was able to identify several points as to why our beloved dog was a pain in the arse!!! we have been working very hard with the stuff Lynn told us to do, and we have seen a large improvement with Rosco, we still have a way to go and will need some extra help for sure. we liked Lynn style and approach and would happily recommend her to others, in fact we have already done this to our friends who have a dog that will not stop barking!!!

An excellent service. Lee was very helpful and my dog has responded remarkably well to his advice

Estelle listened to our issues with Ranger didn't judge, very helpful, explained the training we needed to do clearly and how to correct bad behaviour.

Excellent. Millie has made tremendous progress in the 10 days since Jo visited.

The training was taken step by step giving confidence both with myself and my dog. It was also enjoyable.

We took on a Battersea rescue Staffie Cross, called Coco in August 2012. As relatively experienced dog owners we thought that when she presented any behavioural issues that we would be able to deal with it. We were wrong, in reality, Coco was a very scared little dog, who if we left her alone in the house would chew her way through crates, eat and scratch our internal doors, be terrified of loud noises (fireworks and thunder storms) and in general looked very unhappy and unsettled whilst living with us. Outside of the house she would kill any ball within her eyesight and bark and jump at any dog larger than herself, all without us being able to distract or calm her. We had thrown every little tip and trick we had learnt with our previous dogs but had little to no success with these methods. In January 2013, we could no longer deal with seeing our beautiful little dog looking so miserable with her life. I saw that Jo had worked with my local rescue, Hornchurch Animal Rescue with some success so as we had literally nothing to lose decided to make the phone call. This was one of the wisest decisions we had ever made. Jo visits your home for a few hours and quickly assesses your dog by their body language. We had a very anxious dog and we were making her worse by not addressing her bad behaviour and reassuring her when she was really fearful. Jo leaves you with a given a tailored program of re-training her and reinforcing her good behaviour. As she is such an intelligent little girl she really took to the new regime like a duck to water. Jo really proves that if you are willing to put in a little of your time every day in training your dog that you will get repaid a thousandfold. We have a happy relaxed little dog who is now seen in the local neighbourhood as an ambassador for her breed. Thank you Jo x

Neil has been fantastic and addressed all our queries and concerns

Before Jo became our trainer I almost could not walk my own dog on leash. Pepper would jump at me, bite the leash and at his worst he bit me in his over excited frenzies. As a 31kg boxer, this was becoming dangerous for us all, as well as heartbreaking as all I wanted was to walk and jog with my boy. The previous (non Barkbusters) training we received in Germany (where we had been living) involved some overly harsh methods, meaning Jo had to undo and put right some bad learned behaviours (both Pepper and mine). Jo has some great training techniques and identified the areas that Pepper and I needed to work on. Not everything works for every dog, so Jo always had alternative training methods if our initial efforts did not go well and kept going until we found the solution. Jo gives very clear instructions and always leaves you with a clear plan of what you need to work on with your dog. The result? I can now walk, jog, run with Pepper and I can fully enjoy the benefits of dog ownership, like everyone should be able to. I know that Jo will continue to support us throughout our 12 month agreement and always responds quickly to any questions i have in between our meetings. One final comment, Jo recommended we shift to a raw food diet, which we did. Pepper loves it and looks really well for the diet change. I second her recommendation and advise dog owners to research and consider a raw food diet for their pet.

Our Dog Archie had very bad separation anxiety. The training was hard but fun and we kept on with the recommendations until eventually Archie stopped! Whilst we are still fearful of leaving him and record him while we are out, so far he has been brilliant.

Sharon is very calm when instructing me with Ruby. She explained the training techniques very well.

Lynn equipped us with the necessary information and guidance for our training,Milo responded straight away.Lynn was also able to help us with Milo`s dietary options which would keep him healthier...
