Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Ben arrived and filled the room .He is tall and imposing and not what I expected . But wow does he understand dogs. I have 2 Daschunds and they are fearless and in control in their own home so they were as surprised as I was when he took control of them and they immediately responded. His technique almost had me sitting on command. After an hour my wife and I were given coping skills that have proven invaluable. I am very impressed and I am not someone who is impressed easily. It was a pleasure to work with him and for him to share his skills and compassion with us. The dogs were impressed as well. I highly recommend him and have to friends with dogs.

Emma was great arrived on time, spent time with myself and my husband going through what training we were looking for before meeting Bert who is a lively 17 month Patterdale terrier! He showed improvement on the first day the new harness I purchased from Emma is brilliant no more pulling when out walking and he is improving on his lead aggression to other dogs, he has also really improved on the jumping up when I come through the door. Thanks to Emma I feel that I have gained control back at home and I feel so much more relaxed when taking Bert out.

I have been having issues with my Kelpador, who leaps to greet and can (from a standing start) jump over 6ft which is impressive but not acceptable. He also dislikes people in hats, tries to dominate some dogs (including dogs who are in their own homes & Merlin is the visitor. I didn't have the skills/understanding to be able to take control of my pack and have a dog that I am happy to take anywhere. Kevin is the nicest man, and very quickly understood Merlin. He explained to me how he was going to give me the tools to enable me to have a better relationship with my dog, one in which we are both happy and in the correct pecking order! The transformation, and it is that, is incredible. We (Merlin and I) have a bit of adjustment to get used to, but we are both going to be able to enjoy so much more together. I cannot recommend Kevin highly enough.

Angela Young is an excellent trainer giving really good tailor made advice to cater for the specific needs of my dogs . Angela has been working work with my two labradors with very different issues and is providing such good ongoing help. The elder Labrador being a rescue dog ( approximately 6 years old) has needed help with severe signs of anxiety and stress (whilst meeting both other dogs and humans), toileting issues and jumping up when visitors arrive whilst the other is a rather over enthusiastic teenager! Angela has been brilliant making training fun for both the labs and myself. Moreover I am also gaining in confidence with Angela demonstrating dog command techniques that are really working and making such a difference .It is such a positive and happy situation seeing both my dogs overall physical and mental well being drastically improving . Thank you Angela.

Gavin showed that Winni can be calm and respond to command .

Alex was very professional and informative he answered all my questions gave me lots of good advice. Alex made me see things in a different way I really enjoyed the session its amazing watching Alex train Holly and how quickly she responds to his commands and how he trained me to train Holly!! So pleased I found Bark Busters Thank you Shirley Winstanley

Very good reaction with Buster. Straight away helped solve some of the issues we wete experiencing with Buster.

Kevin was fantastic. We can’t thank him enough. We have such well behaved responsive dogs now after just one session on Sunday. We had never been able to get results with our own training methods and were feeling overpowered by our dogs. Kevin came to our home and spent 4 hours with us. We also went to a park with him to work on recall and took the dogs to a busy social place too which we had previously been avoiding. I couldn’t recommend Kevin more he has solved our problems with brilliant training methods and helped us understand why our dogs behaved the way they did. We now have two happy brilliantly behaved dogs and two very happy owners!

I am not a review writer. But Alex 100% deserves one! He came to work with ME & also my dog Rufus. I put me in capitals as it is me who did not have the right knowledge or tools to deal with some of Rufus’s behaviours. Examples- constant barking at any noise, destroying Mail, following me everywhere(even the loo????) going crazy at someone knocking on the front door(and I mean crazy) trying to control guests and me by barking over conversations until the guest gives in and sits so he can sit on them(on guard) and control. When I wrote to Alex to ask for Help I described Rufus as a idiot as he was acting like one??????? In just 3hours I can safely say that Alex has changed our lives. I can not express my gratitude for the transformation I can see in Rufus in not even one day. I have continued to use Alex’s methods and I am completely gobsmacked that Rufus is actually listening and obeying me. Moving forward, I am excited to see where this can go as Rufus is relaxed and it’s almost like he was waiting for this guidance and likes the boundaries, it was Me who didn’t know how. And it doesn’t involve shouting, screaming or giving in to Rufus. I can now see he isn’t a idiot at all. I was just not being clear about what I wanted or how to do it. Alex is a lovely man. There’s no judgement and I felt immediately comfortable . He explains everything clearly and he shares valuable knowledge giving clear instructions on how to deal with particular unwanted behaviours. Bottom line, if you need help with your ‘idiot’ and your reading this, don’t bother searching any further. Alex is open and honest, and offers further support if required. He also sends lots of info via email in relation to Diet etc. Thanks again Alex. Jo & Rufus!!!

Gina was very good, she picked up quickly what training I needed to support Pebbles.

Gavin spent 4 hours teaching us things about our dogs how they were fed a how to stop unacceptable behaviour we found this very interesting and helpful Ferna a new puppy rescue was causing us particular problems putting the training into action with Gavin’s oversight was immediately beneficial and Ferna’s behaviour improved Ferna started to understand what we wanted or was he teaching us the proper way to communicate with her. This behaviour has continued to improve and in less than a week she has improved beyond recognition but we still have a long way to go

Estelle has great knowledge and insight into dogs psychology and the fact that the service is provided in the home so that issues can be seen in real time really helps her to provide the right advice for each individual. She demonstrated the steps to take to help with my dogs anxiety around getting in a car, made sure I could replicate it and also provided a write up of the lesson so that I had clear instructions on how to proceed. On Estelle's second visit my dog actually got into the car, something I never thought would happen, especially after just a couple of weeks! We can now go for short drives to visit family and to go to other places for walks. It made my Christmas! We're now working on seperation issues and so far so good. Would highly recommend working with Bark Busters.
