Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Excellent! So helpful, reassuring and nothing was too much trouble. I've learnt so much already, my dogs have responded very well and we are well on the way to being a happy family again!

Training benson today was absolutely brilliant, Kevin explained and showed everything to us thoroughly. After only a few hours we had amazing results without any physical contact at all. We started with a very dominant dog who was constantly trying to be the leader of the pack and have finished with a calm submissive dog that's following commands that he never did before. Very, very happy and looking forward to the future with our dog. Worth every penny.

It was utterly amazing, both my husband and I felt that for the first time we are able to communicate with our dogs.

We decided to contact Bark Busters for our 11 year old dog Gizmo. We rescued him two years ago, although fabulous around people he was always aggressive around dogs. This got to the point where I was scared of taking him out especially with our eight month old son. After Kevin had been here for 10 minutes I knew we had made the right decision- he put us completely at ease and took us through what would happen and it all made complete sense! After a few hours of training Gizmo was socialising in the field with other dogs (my heart was racing!) Wen I walk Gizmo now I feel confident and in control which I realise I never felt before. I am taking things slowing and building up our confidence with other dogs however it had changed our lives already. Gizmo no longer barks in the house an when we come home and is a very obedient dog now (and we are only 4 days in!) Thank you Kevin!

We can't recommend Kevin highly enough. From the offset, we knew we'd made the right decision by turning to him for guidance. He asked lots of questions before meeting Timber and so was well prepared on arrival. We were able to ask questions too before arranging our appointment and knowing that only positive methods would be used, (no punishment or alpha training here), set our minds at ease completely. On meeting Kevin we knew that we were in experienced, knowledgeable and kind hands. Having previously made some good progress with our under-socialised and overly energetic GSD, we found we'd got to a point where we needed help handling some of his harder to solve anti-social issues, such as his excessive and frustrated reactions towards other dogs and his over-protective behaviour with us. I wouldn't have believed it myself but within 5 minutes of beginning to practise the techniques Kevin showed us, Timber showed signs of understanding what was expected of him because we could communicate effectively and give him commands he understood. What is more, after months of behaviourists trying, unsuccessfully, to help us introduce Timber to dogs, Kevin managed to help us walk Timber calmly and happily near his own dog with very little fuss or trauma. While we didn't expect all of his troubles to be solved straight away, what we saw today was the beginnings of a happier and calmer dog. Now we have the right tools to guide him, we are happier and calmer too. Thank you Kevin, you will never know just what a difference you have made, and this is only the beginning!

We have a 6 year old Jack Russell called Diesel, whose separation anxiety issues and constant barking were making family life very stressful. Kevin's training session was amazing! Within half an hour he showed us how to stop Diesel barking at the doorbell, and growling at people walking past the house. He also taught us techniques to make Diesel feel safe and calm when we leave him at home alone. Just 2 days later and we already have a dog a who walks to heel, has stopped terrifying our visitors, and can already be left at home for short periods without crying his heart out. We're looking forward to keeping up the techniques that Kevin taught us and making Diesel's life (and ours) a lot calmer and happier... Thanks Kevin!

We are delighted with the progress that we have made with Daisy since our training session with Kevin. She seems calmer at home and when visitors arrive, which was a major problem. She is also a lot better behaved and will listen to instruction when we are out and about. Whereas before the training she had "selective deafness" at times when we were trying to get her back on the lead, especially if there were other dogs around, she now will come straight back. We have still a way to go before we have a perfectly behaved dog but with Kevin's training and the exercises he gave us to practice, we are sure that we can achieve this. Many thanks!

very helpful and very patient trainer!! starting point for me being in control of my dogs rather than the other way round as it is at present. Informative and tailored to my needs

I can't thank Kevin enough - he was absolutely brilliant! He's totally changed all our life's with the amazing work he's done, and you can rest assured I have been singing his praises to all my doggie friends and contacts! Please pass on my thanks to Kevin - he is a superb asset for Bark Busters!

I can't praise Kevin enough from having 3 excitable Gordon Setters to 3 calm relaxed but still fun loving dogs. Kevin was very easy to talk to. Everything that was done and said was so simple but wow the effect is amazing. Thank you so much

Kevin was amazing he quickly understood us and Finn's needs and clearly and patiently explained the process we would need to adopt. He answered all our questions but most importantly really discerned Finn's issues which we were not clear about. We saw an immediate dramatic improvement in Finn's behaviour and we were truly amazed. We both feel confident that what we were feeling was an impossible situation is now going to be solvable if we stick to the programme we have been given. It was a joy to work with Kevin and it was actually fun. Thankyou so much. Paul and Tracey Fillery
