  • Aggression to a dog or other animal or where the dog is aggressive to the owner or a stranger
  • Pulling on the Lead

We found Fran to be very helpful and expert. She was also friendly and attentive to the specific problemswe described. Her manner gave us confidence when trying out the practical exercises with our dog. We have tried other canine advice services but Bark Busters - and Fran have been by far the best! The methods appear realistic, logical and yet sensitive to the dog and owner's needs.

MR, Stokesley

These clients learned the principles of the training method quickly and put it into practice immediately. Their dog was quick to respond to his owners and is being walked more regularly and everyone is enjoying their walks more since adopting the training methods.

  • Aggression to a dog or other animal or where the dog is aggressive to the owner or a stranger
  • Destructive chewing that results in destruction of furniture, woodwork etc
  • Digging
  • Hyperactivity
  • Jumping up at visitors or the dog jumps up at people on walks
  • Pulling on the Lead
  • Recall or not coming when called
  • Puppy Management

Fran was very good. She was here for three hours going through everything with us before showing us what to do. After just one visit I have not been bitten/mouthed in two weeks! I cannot thank Fran enough. There is still a long way to go but I am sure we will get there with Fran's help. I think we have made every animal noise under the sun to say 'Bah'. It may sound funny but it does work!

This large puppy was over exuberant and challenging his owner to the point of frustration . However, he wanted to learn and settled down pretty quickly once Mrs T used the training system with confidence and followed through with the reinforcement of the exercises given. Mrs T really enjoys the fact that her puppy is enjoying the training. I am looking forward to the follow-up sessions to see the improvement this puppy and owner will make!

  • Pulling on the Lead
  • Recall or not coming when called

Thank you so much! Elsa is very quick to learn but also easily distracted. The methods that you showed me really helped. Hopefully we will soon be able to go for walks without a lead and no concerns about her running off to other dogs and people or after anything that moves. The techniques were simple but effective and Fran was friendly, patient and efficient.

RB, Leeming

Elsa learnt what was required and the client put the methods into practice efficiently.

  • Jumping up at visitors or the dog jumps up at people on walks

Thoroughly enjoyed our time with Fran - as did Tizzie our dog. The session gave us hope and a plan that we did not have before. Watch this space!

  • Sibling Rivalry - aggression or fighting between dogs in the same household
  • Separation Anxiety

My two dogs fought on Xmas day and they had never done that before. They are brothers and had been suffering from separation anxiety. After the fight we had to keep them apart which was very hard. I phoned Bark Busters and Fran came to visit over the xmas holidays and once in the bad weather. She was brilliant! We had 2 visits and what she taught us was priceless! My boys are back together happy and playful like they were before. They sleep in separate crates at night. When I go out they don't howl like they used to when I leave the house. Their behaviour is much better. Thanks, Fran.

I found Fran very easy to get along with. It took practice to for me to get used to the methods used in training my dog. She has responded very well to the training. What a difference it has made! She is much happier, more content and calmer now. Thank you Bark Busters. I would recommend your company to other dog owners!

  • Pulling on the Lead
  • Recall or not coming when called
  • Separation Anxiety

Fran spent 4 hours with me and my dog on the initial visit. She was very helpful and gave me some good advice. After two weeks training there has been a significant improvement in my dog's behaviour. His recall is much better and his separation anxiety although not totally gone, is much better. Over the next few weeks I expect to see continued improvement until all issues are resolved. It's hard work but worth it to have a settled dog!

We are impressed by the time & effort that Fran has put in to help us address the problems with our dog.

Ongoing time on our part will need to be put in to get more progress but we are pleased with the improvement so far.
