Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Estelle was brilliant. She was really understanding of the issues we were having and was able to explain to us why these problems may have arisen in the first place which makes it easier to understand where we were going wrong. All the advice given was put into practise on the day so we could see there and then what effect the training had. Immediatelty we saw an improvement using a few simple but effective techniques. There were no harsh techniques and the whole thing was done in a friendly way, with explanations of what we were doing all the way through. After the initial consultation and being given a list of techniques to practise over the next couple of weeks I felt so much more positive about going forward and now believe we will be able to work through all of the issues. Thank you so much

I was apprehensive before the training session as Toby has no discipline or adheres to any commands! I was very pleased with the session as Neil listened to myself and my partner and assured us both the training would be successful & carefully explained how the training would work. Neil was extremely professional and took the session at tobys pace and showed a lot of patience! Following the session we have noticed a massive difference in tobys behaviour and other family members have even passed comment! All after one session! I look forward to the remaining sessions and feel a relaxed in the notion the training will be a success! Most definitely value for money & I would certainly recommend bark busters to family & friends.

Sharon was very pleasant and easy to get along with, full of knowledge and advice. She explained everything plainly, and I am so glad to feel there is a solution! My boy and I have much to learn, we shall follow her instruction to the letter, and look forward to great results. Can't help but wish I had found her sooner!

I signed up to Barkbusters because I felt I couldn't manage my dog - she was constantly pulling hard on the lead, and would pull me over to chase squirrels. She would also run madly round in circles and nip at anyone near by to get them to play with her. After my first lesson I was immediately able to manage Kyla better and with very little practice the whole family was able to walk her with little or no pulling. After our 2 lessons (and some feedback over the phone) I have been more and more able to manage Kyla who is now a completely different dog. Lynne has very cleverly helped me understand what I need to change about the way I interact with Kyla in order to control her better. Kyla is also much calmer.

Zak is our 8month old GSD and he has greeting,jumping and barking issues and always had to be first through the door. Sharon showed us door techniques along with how to combat his barking. We are now 5 days in and such an improvement with Zak, he waits to be told to enter or go out of a room and his jumping has decreased but still a work in progress. Sharon gave us lots of training tips to continue with Zak and I am sure she will notice a difference on her next visit.

Very pleased with the outcome!

Gina was a massive help from the moment she stepped in the door, she was very helpful and has already helped us combat one of Megan's barking traits after just one session, we have been given some training techniques to do with Megan until our next session and they seem to be going well. Unfortunately Megan has extreme anxiety but i feel confident that Gina will be able to help us fix this. I would highly recommend Gina !!

Fantastic, didn't know how much I was missing out on, and how quickly the dogs responded to the training. Who says you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. Looking forward to the next session

what a difference from day 1. I would not have believed it. We have managed to put into place all that we have been advised to do. Will continue to do so and hope to have more control over Jack as the weeks progress.

The training is going great. the advice i was given to start training was brilliant.

We noticed an immediate improvement in Tilly's behaviour,she seemed calmer and more relaxed in the house. Lee gave us lots of good advice and tips to help with Tilly's behaviour.

The session began with Kevin taking us through a clear plan for the day. Principally the psychology of pack behaviour and how this works positively and negatively. He then clearly explained the practical exercises that lay ahead. we were shocked at how instant the response was to taking away the leader role from Rosie and moving it over to us. this continued to be reinforced as the day continued. we practiced the various tasks. Kevin in our view is an intuitive and highly skilled and professional trainer. Moreover and importantly, he has empathy for the pet owners !!!! and his skill in moving control from him to us was fluid and at no time did we feel disengaged from the process. Our first day on our own so to speak has been entirely positive. our girls are still disorientated to a degree but do feel safe and secure. I think the rapid change of pack leader role has had a major impact on Rosie but feel confident that she is already feeling OK about this. we have undertaken all of the tasks and have had just amazing results. For example both dogs off lead, a first for some time ( due to a number of bad experiences) and us in control when the door bell rings! x 2. So a huge thank you to Kevin. Working with him has left us 100% committed to our tasks to change our behaviour and for our dogs to benefit. what more could we ask!
