FABULOUS... Immediate results from the barking, and walking is a joy. I cannot believe we have gone from her pulling so hard on a lead, to practically not knowing the dog is at the other end of the lead.

T & M.S., Selsdon, Surrey CR2

Young Boxers sometimes have a reputation for being as mad as a 'box of frogs' This can lead to frustration on the part of the owner and much tearing out of hair!
This was a particularly highly spirited dog, in need of mental stimulation so that she could engage her brain. She has taken to the training very well and is almost like a different dog, but still retains her charm.

Craig was very insightful and worked well with Dotty and us. He was patient and really knew his subject. We have seen an immediate improvement in Dotty\'s behaviour.

W.D. & H.S, Hammersmith

Aren\'t puppies great?
They are when they\'re as charming as Dotty.
A gentle push in the right direction with lots of encouragement for getting things right. A star pupil.

The difference Craig made to Tigger and my husband was immediate. Everything made sense. We have only had cats before and living with and understanding a dog is so very different. Without Craig's help we may well have given up, but with his help all of us are beginning to understand how to live together. We have recommended the training to loads of people.

V. H, Chesington

"Understanding how to live together", is probably the most important remark in this testimonial.
Tigger was misunderstood, and as a result he was making mistakes... quite serious mistakes. Biting visitors for example.
It can be confusing for some dogs, living in a mixed human / dog environment, and very easy for them to get the wrong idea.
Sometimes the changes required are very subtle, but they can make a big difference. I find it easier to make the owners think like a dog, than to expect the dog to think like a human

We we very impressed with Craig - Very insightful and an excellent personable manner. A week later, we are seeing a big difference in Jewels' behaviour!

A.M, Crystal Palace

Having already been re-homed once at just 6 months of age, Jewels the Boxer didn't have a great start in life. Fortunately her new owners are dedicated to doing the right thing for her. She had developed a dislike for certain dogs in the local park, and a habit for barking at the front door.
It was clear upon my arrival that Jewels had assumed a lot of unnecessary responsibilities within her new pack, such as answering the door and deciding which dogs were allowed in the park at the same time as her. All of which must have been quite stressful for owner and dog.
Jewels was quite good at training her owners, so we decided it was time to turn the tables and give her a much needed education. Once we had the owners speaking the same language, it became instantly clear to Jewels what was expected of her. The difference was obvious by the end of the first session... No more barking!! Peace at last.

The first session went very well. I was impressed with the calm way Craig dealt with \'Blue\'

I\'m confident this training will be very beneficial to both me and \'Blue\'

K.T., Cheam, Sutton, Surrey

When training young dogs you don\'t want to train them too hard, or in anyway take away the enjoyment of having a companion animal.
With \'Blue\' all that was required was to politely point out his mistakes and give plenty of praise for the good behaviour.
With young dogs it\'s also a wonderful opportunity to make sure the conditions are right in the first place, so that the bad behaviours don\'t start later on in life.

Absolutely brilliant - the transformation in both our dogs was almost instant, and all the things we've struggled with for so long are well on their way to being corrected.

Really like the approach and can't recommend Craig highly enough.

If you're considering this, don't hesitate to get in touch.

We have been very impressed by the Bark Busters service which has totally changed our understanding and approach to dogs. Implementing a few basic rules and setting clear boundaries, has made life much more pleasant for all members of our household. Stress and anxiety levels are also greatly reduced.

Craig is sensitive, patient and very experienced. He is very understanding and instills confidence. We are grateful to him.

Phillip Gazzard was courteous, helpful and patient in addressing our problems with an "over-exuberant", much loved but somewhat out-of-control Black Pug 1 year old! Winston responded so quickly it was incredible, and harmony has been restored to our home and walkies in the park! One session achieved miracles! Thank you!

V. W, Knightsbridge, London

Winston is a completely adorable dog, who's personality perfectly matches his name. he is diligently intent on pleasing his owners but was simply a little confused as to what his role was supposed to be within the pack. By establishing some simple psychological boundaries and simplifying the signals he was receiving, Winston has now discovered how to please his devoted owners, and they have discovered how to please Winston in a more meaningful canine way. Well done V.W and L.C!
