Graham dealt with Barking, Chewing, Pulling, Puppy management, Separation anxiety

We had Graham as our trainer who we found to be very friendly and helpful. We saw instant results on the day when Graham put Coco and Mowgli through some training and Graham showed us how we can use the training techniques ourselves by us physically carrying them out on the day, which was exactly what I needed especially with Mowglis anxious behaviour on walks.

- -.C, Basildon, Essex (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Graham

Cocoa is a large mastiff cross and Mowgli appears to be a smallish German Shepherd cross. They were both adopted at the same time by their owners.They are lovely dogs in the house, though a bit over friendly and hyperactive! A major problem was their pulling and barking on walks. We were able to address this at the first session and things are now improving.Â

10th February 2020 - Angela Young

Remote Training Team dealt with Aggression, Jumping up, Separation anxiety

Angela, was very helpful in the way she explained what was causing Lexi's problems. She did ring us to say she would be late. When Angela and Lexi met they both sat on the sofa and made friends. Angela showed us some training exercises and different body language to use with Lexi, Angela recommended we buy a harness, and vary her walk times, and the way she goes to the park. We have continued with Angela's suggestions and Lexi is improving after 1 week. We are very pleased with Angela, and would recommend Bark Busters to anyone who wants the best for their fur baby.

Trainer note from Remote Training Team

Thank you so much for your lovely review. Iâ€™m very pleased that Lexi is doing well and responding to the training so nicely. Iâ€™m sorry again that our scheduled start time was slightly delayed due to a traffic queue I was caught up in, but Iâ€™m glad I was able to call you to let you know and it was lovely to meet you both and your gorgeous girl. Iâ€™m looking forward to seeing Lexiâ€™s progress. Many thanks, Angela.

Graham dealt with Barking, Pulling, Recall

I had Graham as my trainer, who was very friendly and calm and put me and Louie at ease. He has given me some very good advise, which has been helping me and Louies relationship in training. I look forward to our next session with Graham.

- -.L, Wallington, Surrey (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Graham

Louie is a small, adolescent pug. He's a little bit nervous and this has lead to him being a bit barky and defensive when he encounters strange people and dogs. He also has the common adolescent dog issues with recall and being easily distracted. We made really good progress with him during the first session and his owner now knows how to get his attention and relax him when he's feeling stressed. We also agreed on a technique for improving his recall.

9th February 2020 - Lee Hardy

Lee dealt with Aggression, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall, Sibling rivalry

Great to have someone come in and be able to identify the problems fairly quickly as well as offer simple but effective solutions. Lee was great at giving us techniques to use which we could easily understand and just need to work on to put into practice. Our two dogs have come a long way in a short space of time which gives us confidence and makes us feel more positive going forward. It's also great to know we have someone at the end of a phone for any questions or issues that crop up.

6th February 2020 - Kevin McDonnell

Kevin dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry

Well what can I say!!!! I was not expecting the results that we had and certainly not from Milo. I was expecting it to be like the dog training on the tv and it is nothing like that. Within minutes Milo stopped trying to bite the vacuum or grabbing anything out my hand! Maya has also stopped barking! I seriously cannot believe how with just a few hours I really feel like my whole atmosphere has changed .. It's a pleasure to walk with him, in fact I'm taking him out again whereas I've been avoiding it because he was pulling so much.. now he stays by my side! I know for people with troublesome dogs it can be hard to believe this is possible but I was nearly in tears with the results and the relief! I am so over the moon with Kevin and he was really friendly and great to meet his dog too!!! Thank you X a million!!!!!

6th February 2020 - Gina Williams

Gina dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall

Gina gave the training in a good clear voice and demonstrated in a positive way which dog and I appreciated . I fully understand the reasoning behind the training and am doing my best to follow it. I am getting on well with â€œâ€stayâ€ and making her listen to me but not so well on jumping up.

- -.P, Nailsworth, Gloucestershire (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Gina

We'll get a revisit arranged asap to work on the areas you're struggling with, such as jumping up.Â It's usually consistency and timing that'll need a little work on.Â Â

6th February 2020 - Lynn Prentice

Lynn dealt with Pulling, Separation anxiety

From the moment Lynn entered my dwelling her confidence and professionalism gain total trust not just with my dog Candy but me as well. I have decided to have a professional with me to evaluate my methods of training as I have Belgian Malinois, and I wanted to make sure that I am on a right track with her rather than to allow her to get on bed behavior. Lynn, was brilliant from the moment she has seen Candy and with few adjustments at home, she was eager to take us out and show me how to correct issues I have had with leash and lead. I am happy to announce that after only a day my walks with Candy are much better and there is no tension on the lead. Long way to go and far from ideal but we are on the right track. I recommend every single dog owner even if you do not have issues with your young dog to have Lynn or anybody from Bark Busters to evaluate your approach. I guarantee that this would be better for you and your dog in the long run. After all, even experienced dog owners when they have a new dog can make few mistakes therefore professional input can be second to none.

6th February 2020 - Gavin Chambers

Gavin dealt with Chewing, Puppy management, Toileting

Gavin gave me a lot of insights into the mind of a puppy. I was eager to stop any bad habits (mine as well as Stanley's) but also explained that a lot of behaviour is normal for a dog of his age. Gavin obviously loves dogs and is definitely in the right job. Knowing that I can contact him when I need to is a big comfort. Felt a bit silly growling at the dog and I'm obviously not fierce enough as his response is very hit and miss but I will update Gavin tomorrow and try to get some more tips. Enjoyed the session very much.

Trainer note from Gavin

Thanks for the lovely review, you have made a great start with Stanley, and you will soon be going from strength to strengthÂ
Enjoy your training, Gavin

5th February 2020 - Lynn Prentice

Lynn dealt with Puppy management

Lynn has been a fantastic support for me. I have two (unrelated) puppies and need to get them trained and behaving well as soon as possible. At our first session Lynn explained about diet, behavior, leadership and we practiced a number of training methods, which I think continued. We spoke regularly on the phone after this so that I could provide updates, and on our most recent call I explained that one puppy was barking at everything and everyone when we were out. Lynn advised that she makes another house visit, which we arranged for a few days later. During this session we worked on some training and I even saw immediate results in the puppy's behaviour. It is great to know that Lynn is accessible and able to help me address anything before it becomes a real and long term issue.

3rd February 2020 - Kevin McDonnell

Kevin dealt with Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall, Sibling rivalry

That training was nothing short of miraculous! I am not easily impressed but this was amazing. Kevin was friendly, fun, unrushed and easy to learn from. I was initially hesitant about the cost but it was worth every penny, particularly as both my dogs were helped. I think I needed the most training and if I forget anything (because we covered a lot in the time) I am so pleased that I can ask Kevin for help at any time. It's nice to know you are not left to get on with it after the training is over. The results were instant - I could not believe my eyes! I would recommend Kevin to anyone in need of help with their dog. Brilliant!! Thank you Kevin!!
