Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

6th January 2019 - Sharon Chapman

Sharon dealt with Barking, Puppy management, Other

Really well structured and bespoke. Gave plenty of time to explain things, demonstrate and ensure I knew what to do. Extremely professional and not at all judgemental.

6th January 2019 - Graham Milgrew

Graham dealt with Aggression, Chewing, Pulling, Other

I adopted a dog last year and initially contacted bark busters for help with basic training. It soon became apparent, however, that there were some more serious issues to deal with as my dog began to exhibit aggressive behaviours upon being re-homed. Jo was brilliant and spent a lot of time with my family and I, trying to understand how everybody felt about the situation and offering solutions that would benefit both my dog and the people he spends time with. Unfortunately, my dog wasn't a straightforward case but Jo persevered with suggesting different training methods and coping mechanisms to manage the behaviour and she was always at the end of the phone to offer advice and support when things were especially tough. As time went on Graham also came to offer help and he was brilliant too. He really put me at ease and explained everything clearly so I didn't feel so overwhelmed and daunted by the situation. I would highly recommend Jo and Graham, they are lovely people who clearly really care about the welfare of the dogs (and owners!) that they work with. Thanks so much for all the time you have put in and the support that you have offered over this past year!

Trainer note from Graham

This owner took on a dog who exhibits the most difficult of dog behaviours.  He is randomly aggressive to strangers, other dogs, family and friends and worse of all, he is aggressive to his owner on occasion.  This type of behaviour is fortunately rare.  Owners can be blamed for their dogs’ behaviour as the assumption is that they must be “causing it” or someone else has “caused it” in the past, simply because there are many aggressive behaviours are caused by human lack of understanding and/or mishandling, however, some dogs are aggressive and there is nothing obvious about why.  This is very difficult to manage and even harder to solve and requires very committed owner(s) who are prepared to work with their dog on an ongoing basis.  We have a lot of respect for this owner as she is prepared to go the extra mile and will continue to work with her.    

6th January 2019 - Lee Hardy

Lee dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up

Lee was easy to work with and very professional. We have seen instant improvements in our pets behaviour following our retraining. Still a way to go with Pippa and counting the days until our next training session. Thank you Lee.

5th January 2019 - Neil Price

Neil dealt with Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Puppy management, Toileting

All the family are very impressed by Neil's ability to support us all in training our young puppy correctly and with confidence. He explains things in a clear and friendly manner. As Boo is with me for most of the time I can't believe how much this one session has given me so much understanding of the way a puppy behaves. I have now established a good routine and a simple training pattern that fits in with my needs. I loved Boo before although now we have the relationship that we both enjoy.

2nd January 2019 - Neil Price

Neil dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Puppy management, Separation anxiety, Toileting

Exceptional first visit. Neil immediately put our minds at ease with his training approach. He has a very friendly and informative manner which makes dog training seem easy and fun (not terrifying and demanding as we had thought it might be.) Very much looking forward to working with him over the next 12months to ensure our miniature Dachshund is a happy, well trained little lady.

- -.V, Warrington, Cheshire (Testimonial)

29th December 2018 - Lynn Prentice

Lynn dealt with Puppy management

First session with Lynn went really well. She told us where we were going wrong and that Arnie was just being a typical puppy training us. We now have training games we can play with Arnie to train him into being the puppy we train not the other way round! Would definitely recommend Bark Busters and Lynn.

22nd December 2018 - Shauna Hoey

Shauna dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall

Where do I start! We've only had one lesson so far and already there is a marked improvement in Jake and Stanley. Shauna is just amazing! She totally understood what we were saying and is so knowledgeable, being able to email her with any issues and her having the answer is great. Not only did we sit and explain the issues we were having she also showed us some training to be getting on with and it's helped so much.... We've got the second lesson booked for the new year and can't wait to show her how well things are going... I'm so glad I emailed Bark Busters, it's a relief to know you've got backing when you need it.... Thank you everyone!

- -.B, Punnetts Town, East Sussex (Testimonial)

21st December 2018 - Lynn Prentice

Lynn dealt with Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety

The training session was good, covered all we needed. Albies behavior improved right away, he no longer jumped on furniture and responded well to the BAH command and praise and seemed to understand what he was not to do.

- -.S, wembley, Middlesex (Testimonial)

19th December 2018 - Liz Johnson

Liz dealt with Aggression, Separation anxiety

Liz took the time to understand the issues we were having and showed me practical straight forward ways to manage them. The techniques I was shown have been effective and the advice given was clear and easy to implement. I now feel more confident managing my dogs behaviour.

- -.L, Sunderland, Tyne and Wear (Testimonial)

19th December 2018 - Shauna Hoey

Shauna dealt with Aggression, Barking

Sauna was brilliant. My dog and I both felt safe and comfortable with her right from the start. She gave us both a feeling of support and encouragement and never made me feel a fool because of my disabilities. The 'tools' she gave me for my dogs problem behaviour were simple, clear and almost instantly effective. we have worked hard every day since and the difference in my dog is nothing short of miraculous! He feels like a different dog!

- -.J, Tonbridge, Kent (Testimonial)

17th December 2018 - Kevin McDonnell

Kevin dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall

Kevin was a pleasure to talk with and really knows his stuff. In no time during his visit we had a 'new' dog who was obedient and actually came to us despite distractions such as blackbirds, crows etc. Not only that but, to my surprise he has continued to behave very well in the house, out in the garden and even out on his walk. We are now confident that in spite of his breed traits (wire haired dachshund) he will behave like an obedient retriever in time. Needless to say we are delighted with the results and very much looking forward to seeing the 'new' Archie growing to maturity a happier more confident but obedient gentleman that we believe he is deep down. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I would not have believed it possible. A MA ZING!

- -.D, East Putford, Devon (Testimonial)

17th December 2018 - Gavin Chambers

Gavin dealt with Aggression, Pulling

We have rescued a 2 to 4 year old dog with little training and scared of other dogs. We have been following the advice and training provided by Gavin now for 7 days. Our dog is doing very well with her general training and we are using this for our other dog as well. She is still very fearful of other dogs and is still kicking off and screaming. However she calms down afterwards a little quicker than she did so there has been a tiny amount of progress in this area and it is only a week in.
