Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Our two dogs are very different personalities and both were dominating our home and walks. After two sessions our home feels like our own again and we are enjoying walks so much more. We are working on our Beagle's recall using a lunge lead and had to take him off it unexpectedly and to our amazement Alan was more focused on us and kept coming back with ease. We are really pleased with the progress we've made so far, thank you Lee!

Our Labrador Emma had pups 7 weeks prior to joining us. She is 18 months - 2 years old and as a young dog requires attention which she hadn't received. Your therapist explained in detail how to train and enjoy our dog. We explained to him that although we had Labradors for the last 25 years each one is an individual. The session with Andy was excellent. He took his time to explain the finer points needed for our dog who is just starting to understand commands - We look forward to next visit

Training was ok, but we only came across two friendly dogs, which ran away from us. Our main problem is dogs following us, and coming right up to us.

Alex came to help me train my young border collie in early June this year. He was able to provide helpful guidance and ideas which were individually tailored to our situation. We have been able to start with the strategies to improve my 'leadership' role. These simple steps within the house were quickly achieved and have had a real impact! Since his first visit Alex has kept in touch and returned for several more visits and we have progressed to new ways of training on the lead. Alex has always been 'hands-on' ; we have carried out training in my garden and out on walks. After each session Alex leaves notes and hand outs - really helpful as there is a lot to learn. It is really reassuring knowing that Bark Busters provides on-going support because obviously dog training can not be achieved in just one session. Alex is always practical and encouraging, his experience with dogs has been invaluable!

Excellent; very understanding but not rigid or judgemental. Explained everything clearly.

Lynn was very informative and really gave us an insite into what dogs think and why they behave as they do - very worth while.

I can't praise Kevin enough from having 3 excitable Gordon Setters to 3 calm relaxed but still fun loving dogs. Kevin was very easy to talk to. Everything that was done and said was so simple but wow the effect is amazing. Thank you so much

Training highlighted the fact that what I thought was clever behaviour from my dog was actually him pulling the strings. I have taken this on board and am now leading. Whilst his barking can still be a problem I am sure that, in time, I will control this unacceptable behaviour, by following Bark Buster's advice. I was very impressed with Neil Price.

I wish I had discovered Bark Busters years ago! I love my dogs more than anything but they were in complete control of everything and totally ruling the roost. After just one session with Lee, They are 100% better, including being generally much better behaved in and out of the house and I finally feel in control! One of my dogs is nervous aggressive and I didn't think anything would stop his bad behaviour towards other dogs, but he's improved amazingly well! I couldn't recommend this training enough!!

Jo was wonderful and very supportive she spent ages with us and highlighted the different issues that Barney had. Unfortunately my Barney died on the 1st of July most likely due to a brain tumour which caused his behavioural problems. Jo is truly amazing xx She is a guardian angel who helped us all in our hour of need. Barney was a very unique dog and his case was very distressing but Jo was with us through our journey and we can't thank her enough for that!!

Hello there, my name is Stanley. I know what you're thinking: Okay, so this chair may look a bit of a mess, but it was an early experiment, and I was only a wee bairn when I did it. Actually my brother Haggis put me up to it. He's got the brains but my teeth are bigger. Anyway what we want to say is: that lady trainer called Jo is really cool. She definitely learned us better manners. We nearly always sit, or go into our pen at our mistress' command now, and we stay close by her on walks, and try very hard not to strain when we are on our leads (even if it is VERY hard not to be excited at the beginning). Jo also taught us how we must always let the mistress go into a room before us, and not hog our food. We've also stopped chewing things and making puddles indoors, and are proper growed-up now. We'd like to say we're perfect, but we know that would be fibbing. We know we shouldn't bark at the cat (but she is soooo provoking!) We only bark now in the garden to frighten away would-be burglars or to let the mistress know how pleased we are when she gets home. Jo is still teaching us new things like improving our manners when we meet other dogs. We like all the humans we have met, but we do get worried that some of their dogs may have bigger teeth than us, so we shout at them loudly on walks to look bigger and braver than we are! Mistress doesn't like that, and she and Jo are trying to teach us to look at her instead when she says " watch me" and hopefully that way we can stop worrying about what the other dogs may do. So what we want to say is: this learning business has been a lot of fun with Jo, and we would be happy to recommend her to anyone. Lots of licks, from Haggis and Stanley xx

Kevin was amazing he quickly understood us and Finn's needs and clearly and patiently explained the process we would need to adopt. He answered all our questions but most importantly really discerned Finn's issues which we were not clear about. We saw an immediate dramatic improvement in Finn's behaviour and we were truly amazed. We both feel confident that what we were feeling was an impossible situation is now going to be solvable if we stick to the programme we have been given. It was a joy to work with Kevin and it was actually fun. Thankyou so much. Paul and Tracey Fillery
