Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Alex Fraser was very friendly and tried his best to engage with a rather nervous little dog. We felt very comfortable with his style of teaching and sense of humour as novice puppy owners . By the end of the session we had learnt how to walk her properly and about passive leadership techniques. We realise the three of us still require further input from Alex

Gina was very professional, clear with her instructions and very reassuring and patient. I wanted someone who could train me to communicate properly with my dog who is hyper active. It's only week one but already I am seeing some improvement. We have a way to go yet but Gina has given me the confidence to build on my leadership skills. I cannot recommend her more highly.

My husband and I were both really impressed by Angela's approach, knowledge and way of handling Poppy. I had previously told her that my husband wasn't in good health. I appreciated the way she included him without making demands. We are committed to trying to change our home situation with Poppy, which had become quite stressful at times. We are hopeful that the overall approach and thinking outlined will make a big difference.

Lots of really useful information, still work in progress - but some things had a more immediate effect. Really clear demonstration and support.

Liz was very clear and excellent at presenting the actions we require to take. Alexandra, is a 4 year old GSD which we rehomed from Cyprus. Even though we have had GSD's in the past our experience did not cover the situation with such a dog. Liz was able to identify key relationship issues and advise on a practical program to address them. The initial steps, taken while she was with us, had amazing responses from Alexa. The future looks good.

Gavin was extremely professional, he asked many questions and listened with care, empathy and understanding. Within a very short space of time he had an accurate understanding of Bella. His teaching and instructions were clear and concise he gave me loads of confidence and encouragement too in how to deal with Bella. Within days we could see a great improvement even our neighbours and friends have commented about the difference in her. Bella seems happier and more content we are so grateful and would recommend Gavin 100% we can't thank Gavin enough.

Lynn made an instant bond with our puppy Charlie. She had gentle but firm control in spite of Charlie was checking his boundaries. We all immediately trusted Lynn and her techniques. She had answers and clear advice for our ‘millions' of questions. It is still a short time but we see lots of changes and we are confident we'll succeed. Lynn, we are grateful for your help!

Gina was extremely helpful. Her calm presence and air of control had an immediate impact on Hattie and demonstrated to me the difference we would see if I re-established the leadership I had allowed to slip. She also brought some really helpful and informative handouts, which together with her report have consolidated the learning. Hattie and my relationship has already changed quite significantly. She now looks at me before going through any door, and already doesn't need telling to wait. Her attention demands have all but vanished, but she is delighted when I instigate play. She also plays solo much more happily. I look forward to lesson 2 and getting to grips with walking nicely on the lead!

Ben was very friendly, and gave us a few ideas of how to proceed with our puppy training. Will definitely recommend to others.

Angela from the preston branch was brilliant. Had a very stressed yappie yorkie who barked at everything and a domineering younger yorkie. The training she showed me to do with them is so simple and effective after 4 hours i have completely new dogs and im confident i can do it all on my own. I was a bit worried i couldnt stop my old 8 year old dog from barking all the time and barking at food as its a bad habit but he is so much better already. Even showed me how to deal with dirty protests from my younger dog and how to get them to stay and not torment one another. This is the second time ive used them the first time was for a different issue 8 years ago that got corrected and never had an issue since. Thank you so much.

An excellent first session where everthing was explained were the issues were well thought out Perfect

Amazing - Angela was so calm and showed how Belle was keen to learn. Amazing results in such a short time. Meeting wasn't rushed and have clear plan to move forward.
