10th July 2015 - Sharon Chapman
Sharon dealt with Recall, Other
We got Autumn as a rescue dog. Sharon helped us understand that autumn's behaviour to other dogs was not aggression and more a tantrum as she wants to play. Thanks to Sharon we can now walk autumn at a reasonable time and we are more aware of her body language and how to respond. She has helped walking her become a joy rather than a nightmare.
9th July 2015 - Alex Fraser
Alex dealt with Aggression, Pulling, Separation anxiety, Other
Alex came to us to help with some behavioural concerns we had with our elderly rescue dog Fred. Fred was very possessive of his tennis his toys and did not respond to our instructions which made it difficult to predict his behaviour in unfamiliar situations. Alex helped us to understand that we were unclear and inconsistent in how we treated Fred meaning he was unsure how to behave. We learnt some techniques for how to set boundaries for Fred and improve our communication. We are now much happier because we understand each other much better. Thanks for all your help Alex. It just shows that you can teach an old dog new tricks!
Trainer note from Alex
I really respect people that re-home older dogs such as Fred who they re-homed when he was about 12 years old. He has come on really well with the training methods we use and finally understands where he sits in his new pack. It proves that it doesn't matter how old a dog is. If their owner can work with them in the way we show them, great results can be achieved. Keep up the good work and I look forward to catching up in the future.

Lee was thorough in his training, explaining the procedures and changes we need to implicate and the reasons behind them.
We thoroughly look forward to our next session.

Estelle dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall
Excellent. I was given training and demonstrations on the points discussed, and these have proved very helpful. Distraction Training, Door Control and Distance Control to ensure that I am giving Max the correct instructions. I can proceed with what has proved extremely helpful to date

7th July 2015 - Lee Hardy
Lee dealt with Pulling, Separation anxiety
I cannot tell you how impressed I am with the first visit from Lee! I loved how quickly max responded to the training techniques, I really struggle with Max pulling and wanting to chase cats and not being too friendly towards other dogs and seeing how well he has responded is such a massive relief. For the first time I took Max for a walk instead of him taking me and was so enjoyable instead of a chore. I'm so glad I just went for the training and cannot praise Lee enough for the help and clear, understandable advice he has already given.
6th July 2015 - Angela Young
Remote Training Team dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling
I was really impressed by Angela's professional but friendly attitude. She is a very knowledgeable lady who is obviously doing a job she loves. Robbie responded well to the training, even though it was his first session, and I shall persevere with his various issues (particularly in respect of the TV, a major problem!). The difference in Robbie when I walked him later was amazing. It was like walking a different dog, and he responded well to my commands. I really wish I had contacted Angela sooner, it would have saved a lot of problems.

Lee dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety, Other
Cooper absolutely loves Lee which gives me the confidence that the Bark Buster training techniques are the best.
After only one session Cooper was responding to the training which is so simple. We have seen an amazing transformation in him.
Lee is lovely and you can tell he genuinely cares about his job. He is full of useful information and treats Cooper with such care.
I will definitely be recommending Bark Busters to anyone who needs help with dog training.

Lee dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up
Very pleased with the work Lee has done so far with Jack, he is calmer in the house and responds better to commands.
We are looking forward to working with Lee on lead work later this month
3rd July 2015 - Lee Hardy
Lee dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up
Our first lesson with Lee was brilliant. Although I'm sure we do lots of things with Ernie we shouldn't, he wasn't judgemental at all and didn't tell us 'that is wrong, you shouldn't do that'. Instead, he got us to focus on what we wanted to change about Ernie's behaviour and any potential triggers we could think of.
The techniques are simple and easy to remember, and work in lots of circumstances which is great.
1st July 2015 - Estelle Jackson
Estelle dealt with Aggression, Pulling
Estelle was wonderful with Oscar he seemed to like and respect her immediately. From the first lesson we saw improvement in his general behaviour and particularly his on lead behaviour. His pulling reduced. By the second lesson his lead walking was excellent and his guarding behaviour was significantly reduced. We can now take him out for walks without constantly having to avoid other dogs. He is now far more responsive to commands.
