Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Lyra responded incredibly well to Neil. Immediate results which we’ve sustained. Very pleased!

The lesson was really good. Shauna was very helpful and explained why my dog was behaving like he was and how what we're going to do is going to fix this. She was very clear and precise but also very friendly and informative and explained how follow up sessions would work and if we had any questions that we could contact her before our next check up

Excellent session with lots of information given to us to work with Ruby. Already we have noticed much better behaviour from Ruby. Estelle was very astute in what she saw and heard and we feel that her lesson plan will help us with Ruby.

Graham has simply amazed us! Our 6 month old GSD is very scared of people and very reactive. Graham was able to quickly calm him and gain his trust and identify his issues quickly. Everything was explained in a simple to understand way and in detail. Graham really knows his stuff! It was useful as it allowed us to understand why certain things worked. We have seen a huge improvement in Ziggy in just the week after our first session and cannot believe what Graham has helped us achieve! We cannot wait to continue working with him!

Not going to bad

Lee was excellent. He quickly identified Millie's problems which is why she barks so much. He spent time discussing her behaviour with us & how we have handled it in the past. He gave us very clear instructions on how to start to resolve this problem. We are looking forward to working with him on future issues.

The meeting went well. As expected, Emma gave clear explanation and direction including collar use and diet in a respectful manner to both Joshua and advice to my husband and I. The tasks are letting visitors into the property and addressing his anxiety and getting him used to going to the vets. Emma reiterated that she is accessible via telephone and email and will always reply to us. A truly professional lady who has a lot of experience with animals and people.

With a Baby on the way we sort Alex out to help with our over excited one and a half year old Beagle Spaniel Cross (Lockdown Puppy). Archie was a little wary of him at first but quickly took to Alex no problem. We were taken through a number of training drills to help with Archies 'Door manners' and shown how to effectively correct bad behaviour without having to raise our voice. We thought Archie was a major Lead puller but it turns out with a longer lead and a little bit of technique he barely pulls at all. I've watched countless YouTube videos on how to stop pulling but they don't explain why they are doing what they do, this is where having a 1 to 1 session really helps as Alex is able to explain why what he is doing actually works, then if you know why it works its easier for you to tell if you are doing it wrong when the teacher isn't there. Alex also highlighted a number of general changes to our behaviour to become better passive leaders to Archie. Again stuff that you just wouldn't think to do or stuff that I haven't seen come up in dog training TV shows or YouTube videos. We've had just the one session but have seen big improvements already, Thank you Alex

Shauna clearly has a wealth of experience and knowledge. The lesson was informative with opportunity for practise which included simple directions and support. Most importantly, I felt much more confident about what to do even though it is likely to take some time to improve and succeed.

Kevin was brilliant. Hugely personable and knowledgeable, Kevin immediately made a difference with some clear theory and actions that resulted in Buddy releasing a tennis ball on instruction for the first time in his 3 year life! We learnt a massive amount in the 3 hours spent with Kevin and got to apply our learnings in our house, garden and even down at our local beach. Kevin really cares about what he does and we have every confidence that his instruction will leave us with a happier dog (we even got to meet Kevin’s dog "Bruno" who had great fun on the beach with Buddy!)

We contacted Bark Busters to get some help with our very barky Beagle and her attention seeking, and also needed some pointers on loose-lead walking. Alex was great in taking the time to understand where we were at and what was the main triggers, before giving us some useful and practical training tools to deploy immediately. The simple explanations and targeted approach has had a huge impact after only a short period of time and we're grateful Alex at the end of the phone for advice and follow-up sessions!

Gina was really helpful, knowledgable and focused. Understanding of our dogs and also made it easy to build in the training in our day to day! We are new to dogs, so really benefited from the training.
