My problems as a dog owner started many years ago when I had a rescue Dobermann, Henry. He never did as I requested, would bully visitors and barked all the time. Even more worryingly, he then started to attack my partner and myself.
We discussed Henry’s problems with/talked to our vet and tried the local dog club, but everyone had the same answer - put him to sleep. We persevered until the attacks got too bad and had to make that heart breaking decision.
If only I knew then what I know now, he would have had a happy and relaxed life until old age. Unfortunately Bark Busters was not around back then.
You can imagine my concern when my standard schnauzer, at 6 months, started howling at 4am, destroying the kitchen when I went out and jumped up at everyone to the point of climbing on people. I knew I had to do something and promptly began searching on the Internet. Thankfully I came across Bark Busters and called them immediately to relay my tale.
A session was arranged; the Therapist was amazingly patient especially as Monty climbed on top of her! I explained the rest of the problems, she showed me some simple training techniques and I saw a fantastic change in him straight away. I worked on the programme I was left and he has changed dramatically. I was so impressed.
However, I couldn’t get Henry out of my mind and wondered how many other people are going through the same trauma. I wanted to know how I could help other owners and their dogs, so I contacted Head Office at Bark Busters and after meeting with Tony and Carol, I knew this was the life for me.
Now I understand how I could have helped Henry and know that I’ll never be put in that position again. I can make sure you do not have to make that awful decision by helping you to train your dog, whatever the problem.
How lucky am I to live the dream!
What people say...

I could not believe what I managed to achieve with my dog on the initial meeting with Diane. Millie responded almost imediately to the methods I was taught. I practised on our afternoon walk and when we arrived at home. I was so delighted with the response I wept. My stress levels have been reduced significantly. I will definately perservere with the advice and methods and call on the support offered when necessary. I feel confident that shortly everyone will love Millie instead of being afraid of her. This is probably the best investment I have ever made. I cannot recommend Bark Busters enough. Diane is an absolute star. Give Diane a pay rise, she is so worth it.
