Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Having used various dog trainers, which havnt been the best experiences, I was slightly hesitant when first getting in touch with Alex. First impressions were great and any questions I had were explained before I went forward with the booking the session. Alex was polite when entering my home and my dog Deizel was very pleased with the new visitor. Having had a rough start in life Diezel needed quite a bit of reassurance when I first bought him home with me and strangers he can still sometimes be reserved but he was instantly up for his tummy to be scratched which was very surprising. Diezel had a rough start in life before I found him. I began my own work with him but due to a personal decline in my health I began to struggle with keeping up with some things and he began running circles around me especially with walks. Deizel is so strong for his size and will easily drag me to whatever he would like to have a sniff of and that seems to be absolutely everything. Im sure hes just making up for lost time but even so it was becoming too much and began taking a toll on me. This meant I wasnt able to take him out as much as I would have liked to for both Diezel and my safety incase I accidently dropped the lead or me getting pulled over. Alex showed me how to build up Diezels attentiveness towards me which will hopefully help with his concentration on walks as he is easily distraced and is aways on the go which is fine for him but not so much my shoulders and hands. Whilst I explained everything Alex was very understanding and patient. I felt comfortable which is not something ive had in the past with dog trainers. I was able to go over everything that I would like help on and it was all answered and explained so I could implement the different techniques into daily life. All in all I was extremely pleased with the help and advice. Deizel also had a great time eating lots of treats and getting all the extra attention. I feel confident again in going forward and working with Diezel but even if I feel like things are becoming difficult I would be more than happy to get back in touch with Alex for any help that may be needed in the future. If you are in areas that Alex covers and you need any help with your dog I am more than comfortable in saying the help you would get would be top class!

As soon as Alex arrived our puppy made us look like liars; from being a boisterous, bold, willful and unruly puppy,he suddenly became very well behaved and listened! I believe it was Alex' demeanour, he is very calm and for the rest of the day we had a lovely well behaved Bruno. Alex is very patient and knowledgeable, he clearly loves dogs and advised us on all things doggy from food recommendations to poop. We are under no illusions that this is a work in progress. You watch dog programs on the telly and miraculously get a dog that is 'trained' in minutes. He is a baby and still learning, as are we. I am confident with the guidance from Alex we will get there. I would 100% recommend Alex to anyone looking for a dog trainer.

The course went really well and I found it very informative and relaxing. Sharon was an excellent tutor.

Jack was an only pup and hasn't had the opportunity to socialise with other dogs. He is over-excited if we try to walk him outside the house, barking at everything and everyone and pulling constantly on the lead. The added restrictions of the pandemic lockdowns haven't helped us to be able to address the issue. It was good to meet our trainer, Alex. He took the time to chat with us and asked about the issues we were having with Jack. He advised us on feeding, sleep requirement and demonstrated basic training commands. Alex then saw Jack's behaviour when we try to walk him. He answered all our queries and gave us commands to practice and a plan to take things at a steady pace. We are hopeful that we can overcome the issues with Jack's excited behaviour in time and with Alex's support.

Lynn has been fantastic. We have had 3 on line sessions with her and her advice and sessions have been really helpful.

Enjoyed the session and so did my puppy. alex was approachable, friendly and informative. Also emailed lots of useful information to read and tips to sucessful training thoroughly enjoyed and would reccommend.

Shauna is very patient and very good at her job, storm has already made abit of progress

Ben was very professionally and explained my dogs training needs in simple terms which made it easier for us to understand. The training package was fully explained. Ben spent over 4 hours with us on our first session. The session was spent inside our home and outside in our local field. This proved extremely helpful and allowed us to identify the changes in our dog's behaviour from being indoors to outdoors. I would highly recommend Ben and Barkbusters.

The 3 sessions we have had with Jo and Graham have been so helpful. Jo helped us with a long zoom call to go through our concerns about Vita and gave us some helpful training strategies and also sent us notes. Graham came to visit us and went through training techniques and when I was concerned about Vita's behaviour came to see us very quickly and gave us some really useful advice. I have found them very supportive and not at all judgemental and would recommend them. Graham's calm approach had an almost immediate effect on our dog's challenging behaviour.

Shauna started working straight away as Flynn gave her the best opportunity while he showcased his door and window repertoire. It's just great to have a single plan to work to, we have already seen results, and it all makes perfect sense. Thank you Shauna for our first lesson, and for standing in the freezing outdoors while we adhered to current guidance! We are looking forward to working with you in the future and showing off our well behaved boy!

Was a great session which we learned a lot and immediately saw the benefits. Alex was very friendly and provided lots of different advice. It was a very enjoyable session for all, including the dogs.

Gina was absolutely ***** amazing, she worked great with our 5 dogs.
