Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Alex was really helpful in every way. Explaining the different techniques to use to control Bella, as she is adopted. Pulling on lead technique shown to me, it has been a week since I've used the technique shown to me and Bella does not pull much on the lead and stays by my side. In house training still needs a little more working on. But I am sure I will get there with Alex's help. Overall I am satisfied with the training.

Not enough words cover how amazing Shauna is!! My dogs had been great, no issues as I've always trained my dogs myself. Then I got Mabel spayed and she turned into bossy, hormonal teenager! She started jumping on Marmite and attacking him and this made me lose confidence in my ability so consequently was letting her get away with things she shouldn't and not being in charge. After one awful fight in the field I contacted bark busters and Shauna came to see us. Shauna is just brilliant, she showed me how to be back in control of Mabel again and to show I was pack leader, within 5 minutes of working on Mabel she was back to my lovely girl again. Shauna is so nice and encouraging, she didn't make me feel I done anything wrong, she just showed me how to go to next level with Mabel who was pushing all the boundaries. She left me training which I do every day and I have calmer, happier dogs! Still things to work on but with Shauna helping I have my beautiful well behaved dogs back. Shauna is just fantastic, I can't say how grateful I am to her, just amazing!

Our Springer Milo was rehomed by us 5 months ago and is now aged 10. Generally fairly well behaved but he had taken to barking at night. This had happened a few times before but had become regular and after a few sleepless nights we realised we needed help. Kevin explained how this behaviour was all linked to our communication with Milo and showed us a number of strategies for changing our behaviour and our communications and we were amazed at how quickly these were effective. Within the training session we could stop Milo barking at the doorbell, walk to heel (never a success before) and we could clearly take on the role of leader. There were 3 of us at the training session so we have all adopted the same approach and are having great success. The first 2 nights after the training Milo still barked but only a couple of times and we have now had 2 uninterrupted nights so we are over the moon!

Very pleased with the training given. Estelle took time to listen to all problems we are having and is giving clear guidance about how to correct things. We were left feeling confident that she will be there to help us with Alfie.

I found Lee to be friendly, approachable and professional, he gave me some very helpful advice and a clear plan of action for Suki and I to work with until our next session together. I'm not expecting Suki who is a rescue dog with an unhappy history and baggage to change overnight but I now feel confident that with Lee, the training plan and the fact Bark Busters guarantee to work with you for the length of the chosen plan that I now have the tools to enable me to work with Suki to improve her life and help her put the past behind her and go forward. After just a week I can see some improvement and with hard work and by following the plan I believe Suki will continue to improve and so will I as the plan isn't just about the dog, it's a learning process for both of us.

The training was provided in a very clear an concise manner. Lee demonstrated how we needed to behave with our excitable and protective dog Gizmo and we were able to put this into practise straight away. We have only had one lesson and its only 24hrs later but already Gizmo is responding and not barking incessantly at the door or running and jumpinng up at it and visitors like he used to. It's definately a work in progress but lee has given us the tools to make Gizmo's life more enjoyable and less stressful.

Meeting Shauna has been extremely beneficial. She was very easy going and clear and explained everything with notes and practical demo's. But more than that, the techniques are working and although we realise that it will take a lot of consistent input, Percy understands the basic concepts of what she has taught us and is responding like a little star! As Shauna summed up, he's not a bad dog he just needs some guidance. Thank shauna.

Angela was excellent, very friendly professional and informative. The boys loved her and she was very patient whilst explaining things as well as demonstrating training techniques to me.

Lee was friendly, open and very knowledgeable about anything we asked. He was reassuring and great with our two chihuahua boys. He gave constructive and easy to understand advice.

We needed help and advice on training for our dog and chose Bark Busters after searching for a local trainer in our area. Thankfully we found Emma who was very understanding about our concerns. She explained thoroughly and professionally how she would be able to help us. By the end of our lesson, Dexter was responding really well, much to our surprise. We are most impressed with Emma and her training methods and we hope that we will be able to do our part to continue with Dexter's progress. What she did make us realise was that Dexter had done a very good job of training us, which, when explained to us, made really good sense. Thank you very much Emma.
