Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

The session was very thorough and I felt that Dave understood the problems we were encountering. We were sent a comprehensive summary and clear explanation of further activities

Kevin has quite literally changed our lives. Since having our first daughter three years ago, our dog became very protective and reactive. We now have two children and ever since our second, things had got even worse. Rita would bark, nip and warn off anyone who approached our children. She even caught family members hands/legs; causing minor injuries. She would jump up a lot and assert dominance. Her recall was also poor and she didn’t follow instructions. We were unable to take Rita to restaurants or have her around our friend’s children. Our family members and friends were unable to interact with our hug our children as Rita would go for them. Kevin spent four hours with us and our lives are now changed forever. Rita listens carefully, is no longer aggressive, protective or reactive and is a happy, relaxed and calm dog. We thought Rita was aggressive however Kevin showed us that an actual aggressive dog is very rare. He showed us that actually Rita just didn’t know her place in the pack, was anxious/nervous and that we needed to reset things and learn to ‘speak dog’. Thank you so much! You are a miracle worker.

Our 2 year old Jack Chi, Fennec is a lovely boy, but he's very anxious and needy. We've had issues with reactivity on the lead and separation anxiety, among other things. We had our first training session with Alex a few days ago. I wasn't sure what to expect and was very nervous, but I soon relaxed as, unlike a lot of trainers would, he didn't tell us off for giving treats or allowing Fennec up on the furniture etc; He just explained how those things should be on our own terms, not the dogs. We felt silly growling at him, but it works. We still have a lot of work to do, but it was a really great start and we've already seen positive changes in Fennec. By the end of the lesson, he was curled up, fast asleep in his own bed - which is unheard of! We are very much looking forward to our next lesson. So far so good!

Gina was very Professional, friendly and understanding. Gina explained everything thoroughly and it was easy to understanding. Thoroughly enjoyed the session and was very interesting.

Emma came for our first training session. The knowledge she has got about dogs is exceptional, the whole experience from her advice given to putting it into practice exceeded my expectations, her explanations as to why my Rosie behaves like she does made total sense. Emma gave great advice not just with the reason she was here for but in all areas. She opened my eyes and made me realise that other issues are connected with the main issue. At the end of the session there were obvious improvements. Thank you Emma I can now see a light at the end of the tunnel. Look forward to the next one x

All good

We had an excellent lesson with Dave. He spent time understanding our concerns and getting to know us and Olive. We took Olive on a walk and received lots of useful advice both during and following the visit.

Even after one lesson we can see a huge difference in zaks behaviour , and using the techniques we have been shown we can only see Zak getting better

Shauna is absolutely brilliant. She completely understood my dogs’ problems and explained everything to me very clearly. We had massive progress in the first lesson alone. They’re completely different dogs already. Shauna demonstrated and walked me through the training exercises very clearly and her lesson notes were very thorough. She’s really helped me understand the dynamic in my household and how to work on correcting it. I’m very much looking forward to our next session.

Estelle was everything we had hoped for , although me and my wife Julie have always had dogs Jasper was a new challenge beyond our knowledge. Estelle gave us this and more leaving us with the tools to get on with the job and giving Jasper his best life, ongoing with Estelle`s help Jasper will be a well behaved dog and a pleasure to have in our family.

We had a really excellent first session :) We really didn’t know what to expect but we’re delighted to see great results from day 1. The homework we’ve been left with is manageable and fun and we feel really optimistic!

Gina was very knowledgeable and explained everything to us fully. It’s been almost a week and we are already getting result.
