Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

I wasn't sure quite what to expect on the first training day. I feel that I got to explain quite thoroughly what my expectations were and Neil listened patiently and took time to get to know our dog Honey.

Alex Fraser is magic.!!!! Our Border Collie, Guinness, was rehomed from a family that could no longer provide a suitable life for him. He took some time to settle into his new surroundings and our way of life. After 6 months of trying to correct all his problems we had made progress but there were issues that we could not address, even though we have had big dogs in the past. Alex spoke to us by phone, we gave him some background information and he immediately gave us some helpful advice. However, his visit was where the magic happened!! Our main problem was Guinness pulling on the lead as he is a strong dog. Alex demonstrated the correct "Heelwork" technique, ensuring we understood by encouraging us to follow his example. We bought an excellent harness from him, which has proved most effective (we had given up on harnesses having already purchased two, which have now gone to the charity shop!!! ) He also taught us what to do when Guinness reacted to other dogs and how to stop him hurling himself at people visiting the house! After only one week, we see a marked improvement in Guinness's behaviour when walking on the lead. In the house, he is calm and responsive to instructions. We are sure that Alex's invaluable guidance and help will improve ours, and Guinness's, lives. We can now enjoy having Guinness as a lovely companion and look forward to more sessions with Alex to smooth out any further issues.

Estelle was absolutely brilliant. She really listened to the issues we were having and gave us very clear advice. We have seen a transformation in some of the behaviours within 24 hours of her visit which has amazed us! Thank you.

Estelle explained everything I needed to do with tilly.

Lee is obviously an expert trainer. He gave us advice on how to train our very excitable springer which we put into practice straight away. He followed up the lesson with personal instructions by e mail which I printed out and am trying my best to work to all the time. I like the fact that I can contact Lee with any problems I have with Lucy's training. Because of Lee's help I feel more confident going forward that Lucy will be a well trained dog.

Alex was very professional and confident with us and our doggies, and us all feel comfortable with the new techniques we was taught and also could adapt the technique to our lifestyle and schedule, the first session was very informative and positive, I am looking forward to the continued support and seeing improvement with our doggies

Kirsty was very friendly and professional. She took time to understand our dog’s history, issues and needs. Everything was clearly explained and demonstrated. We have seen a great improvement in our dog’s behaviour through understanding how our body language and vocal commands impact on his response.

Gavin was very insightful and very quick to understand Brindy. He gave us lots of advice and things to be working on . Brindy seemed to respond quickly to Gavin’s teaching.

Kevin has totally transformed my dog, worth every penny. Within 10 minutes i was taught how to calm my hyperactive border terrier, and it worked! We even went to the cafe at the beach and not a peep out of him. Lots of work still to do but now i know how to do it. Brilliant.

We are really grateful for Alex’s insight and training for our dog who was being reactive on walks with other dogs. Alex began the training in our home, and then it progressed to being outside in the park, and we were also able to include our other dog in the training for Alex to gauge how they interacted together. In our session we learnt so much, from nutrition to training tips, and insights into why he was reacting in a certain way, and we finished the training feeling empowered to put our learnings to use. We’ve also found the post-session materials shared very helpful to refer to as well. Would highly recommend Alex, thank you.

Very professional with very good advice and training methods. We have seen noticeable improvements in the last few days since Lyn visited and are very pleased with progress Rosie is making.

Extremely happy with advice and training with Lynn, she was very professional, knowledgeable and also advised on nutrition
