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!

I was quite worried before the session that Diane would say that she couldn't help us. But after just a couple of hours it was incredible to see the change we had achieved. We still have a way to go regarding the separation anxiety, but with persistance and consistency I am confident we will deal with it. It is a great comfort to know that we can call on Diane when we need to.

The crate training has helped almost overnight with his toileting. Diane explained the reasons why Louis has been doing what he does, which of course all made sense when viewed from a dog's perspective rather than a humans. A very interesting session and both dog and humans learnt a lot. With the training methods Diane gave us I think we shall definitely have a happier dog.
