Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Sharon was very thorough with the assessment of Sally, although we are in the early stages of training we are seeing an improvement in Sally's behaviour which we are very pleased with. Having only had the one meeting and lesson with Sharon we feel after getting the professional advice and Sharon's knowledge and understanding of border collies Sally will be a better well behaved dog when Sharon has finished.

We found the training session very informative and helpful. Andy was very good at controlling Shadow and demonstrating and teaching us the same behaviours.

Gaining confidence when out and about. Change of diet recommended by Sharon. Wilson seems to be responding well as I feel more confident when other dogs are close by. I need to spend more time with Archie applying the techniques suggested.

Andy was brilliant. He has a very calm and friendly demeanor and was able to explain the training methods he uses and what we would be covering in the session in uncomplicated language and guide us through each exercise without being condescending when showing us where we were going wrong. He clearly loves dogs and his work as he was genuinely happy when our puppy (and us) got things right

Lee is a pleasure to have in our home. His quiet assertiveness and skills were passed onto Bruno as he was gently assured. Our training was friendly, polite, and effective and after the first session Bruno's bossy attitude was mellowing into a more relaxed state. Instruction is concise and clear and we look forward to our next meeting. Many Thanks Lee!!!

I now have a different dog!!!! After only one session with Lynn, by changing Mimi's diet and showing me how to be boss, she had stopped her bad habits like jumping into the dishwasher when I open it and stealing food. After a VERY short second session Lynn has shown me how to stop her barking when she sees another dog on lead. I now have a happy and relaxed dog. The change is amazing, thanks Lynn.

I enjoyed working with Alex, he is very easy going and I felt comfortable. My Cairn terrier Bobbi was adopted from manchester dogs home in december 2012. Her main problem is aggression towards any new dogs she meets on our walks. She is my fourth dog and I've never experienced this problem before so it came as a shock as she is such a sweetie in many ways. Her behaviour knocked my confidence and though I tried not to be, I found I was getting anxious on walks which didn't help. I had searched the internet for tips and tried different ways of managing Bobbi, but came to realise I couldn't handle her without some one to one help. Alex reminded me to be 'pack leader' and when he told me about using 'Bah' I was self conscious at first but I knew I'd have to get over it. I find it also deters other dogs off the lead, as well as controlling Bobbi. She used to bark wildly and lunge snapping and growling. Now we can mostly pass by unknown dogs without a problem! Bobbi has lots of off lead time and gets along fine with dogs she knows and she was ok with Alex's dog Max the first time they met. She's still a work in progress and as I'm an early riser we go out around 7am when there a only a few other dog walkers up and about and we all know each other now. I feel much more confident and able to manage situations. Bobbi responds to 'Bah' very well even if she happens to be off lead in the park and an unknown dog appears, she will come back to me instead of charging off to attack. We're still practicing front door work and her barking at the many neighbourhood cats! All in all were happy and Bobbi seems much more content now I'm in charge.

Even though Arthur is still only 7 months old, the advice given to us by Alex made a huge difference after the first session, poor Arthur was cream crackered after 2 1/2 hrs. Alex is always on hand to provide help over the phone and we will be arranging another home visit just to make sure we stay on the right track. It is reassuring that you can get all the help you need with your dog with no extra hidden costs - money well spent.

Being a massive dog loving family we started off with 2 dogs which quickly grew to 4 dogs and now 5! Now we have a pack and things started to get really difficult with training. Calling the dogs back to us became almost impossible and chasing horses became a real issue (we own an equestrian business). All our dogs have no collars and are free to roam. After various methods of shouting and treats we were not getting anywhere and felt we had nothing left to try. We contacted Bark Busters and Alex came to our rescue. What amazing, simple and easy to use techniques he uses. They worked instantly with our pack......no shouting, collars or treats! Our dogs are now completely different and are so much happier to be in a settled pack. I can not recommend Alex at Bark Busters highly enough! His friendly approach and techniques will change you and your dog, or in our case, pack of fives live's. Thank you Alex

Dog responded really well with Sharon. Very happy with how well Sharon worked with Lucy and after one visit learned at lot about how to train her.

I contacted bark Busters after reading comments from the website. I was extremely happy at the huge difference the training made even after the the first session. I am also moving house to another area and am pleased that i can continue my training with another therapist after I have moved too.

Sharon arrived on time, she was very relaxed and easy to talk to. The issue for us was that we have introduced a new pup to our 4 year old Yorkie Henry. We were concerned that Henry was not accepting Pascha and wanted to address any issues before they became major issues. Sharon gave us great advice which resulted in Henry becoming much more relaxed with Pascha within half an hour. The dogs responded to Sharon well and she showed great affection for animals. She assured us that what is occurring between our dogs is perfectly natural and she sees no behaviour problem, all was explained in depth and great techniques provided. I would recommend this service to anyone that has concerns re their pets.
