  • Barking at people, dogs, animals, birds or where the dog barks for attention or at the slightest noise
  • Pulling on the Lead
  • Recall or not coming when called

Phillip exceeded our expectations -Literally within minutes he had our two dogs behaving. Issues that have concerned us for months have been resolved almost instantly. We can't quite believe it. We now have a better understanding of our animals and are confident that we will all be happier now.

A. D & D. S, Bounds Green, London

Barney is a delightful 3 year old Miniature Schnauzer and Oskar is a lovely 19 month old West Highland Terrier. Both dogs had mistakenly assumed leadership of their pack which had manifested in problems of barking and pulling on the lead. After re-aligning pack leadership to Barney and Oskar's devoted owners and putting in place effective leadership techniques and boundaries, Barney and Oskar have been transformed into the dream dogs that their owners always wanted.

  • Barking at people, dogs, animals, birds or where the dog barks for attention or at the slightest noise
  • Jumping up at visitors or the dog jumps up at people on walks
  • Pulling on the Lead

We were very impressed with your company and Phillip is an excellent trainer

S. P., Cheam, Sutton, Surrey

Billy (Male) and Mia (Female) are both 18 month old Cocker Spaniels, who were constantly barking and had a propensity to jump up and pull on the lead. With the guidance of Bark Busters, their owners have now achieved total harmony within their pack and learned how to completely control the barking and teach Billy and Mia to walk beautifully to heel.

We were very impressed with Phillip and his techniques etc. Coco's behaviour has changed considerably after just one session! We have no hesitation in recommending him.

N. P., Purley, Croydon, Surrey

Coco is a 6 month old female Working Cocker Spaniel with a wonderful confident personality. Her willfullness had initially presented challenges to her owners, but after putting in place the correct Bark Busters leadership techniques and guiding Coco's owners on the appropriate way to achieve Coco's respect for their leadership, a complete transformation has been made and Coco is now responding to her owners with a new found calm demeanour and is a pleasure to walk on the lead.

  • Barking at people, dogs, animals, birds or where the dog barks for attention or at the slightest noise
  • Jumping up at visitors or the dog jumps up at people on walks

This is a totally different approach which appears to be having a positive effect. It is all very logical.

A. D, Battersea, London

Lily, is a lovely Wire-Haired Dachshund who's owners (prior to Bark Busters) had more or less resigned themselves to the fact that they may have to just live with the constant barking and attention seeking. Within the short space of a few hours of the first consultation visit, Lily was already responding and showing a very noticeable improvement, as she learned to respect the leadership of her owner listening to the new commands and techniques used to stop her barking and jumping up. Well done, Lily

  • Puppy Management

We found Philip very friendly and informative, he showed real care for the dogs well-being. Our puppies responded well to him and enjoy their new boundaries.

U. R., Croydon

Billy and Mae are a pair of adorable 4 month old sibling Mastiff puppies. Bark Busters have been chosen by their proud owners to provide a full Puppy Management program which is included in the Bark Busters service. This will ensure that Billy and Mae have the best start in life, and mature into well behaved adult dogs.

I would just like to say at first I was unsure about the need for a dog trainer, because I had already trained my previous dog Tyson who died this year aged 14.5 yrs. I did not think I needed any help with my 6mth old Alaskan Malamute, but to my surprise Spartacus is responding really well to the training.

N. Y, Walworth -London

My clients were initially a little reluctant to seek training assistance, because they had some previous experience at training their own dogs, but Spartacus seemed a little different than other dogs, so they called in the experts to make sure that he received the best training. Spartacus is a very confident boy, and is responding beautifully to his Bark Busters training.

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

Since his first visit, it's just like having two different dogs. We can't believe the change -Fantastic! Well done Phillip and thank you.

C. M., North Cheam, Surrey

Sammy and Max are two Staffordshire Bull Terriers. After realigning pack leadership and making some positive nutritional adjustments, Sammy and Max's loving owners became true leaders of their pack, achieving a complete transformation from dogs who were previously pulling on the lead, to dogs who now walk perfectly to heel.

Phillip Gazzard has been helping us home train our German pointer, Milo, since he was a 10-week-old puppy. Milo is now a happy, boisterous but well-behaved 10 month old, who recalls on command, walks beautifully to heel on and - amazingly - off the lead, sits, stays and never chews the furniture. No matter the problem, however big or small, Phillip has always made himself available with a ready smile and the solution. I have no doubt that Milo is as grateful to Phillip as we are for helping us to understand his canine ways and communicate with him effectively. The true measure, though, is in the number of people who come up to us to express their embarrassment at their own dogs' lack of discipline, or the mothers who walk by while commenting to their children: "Look how well trained that dog is - he behaves better than you lot do!". The only real regret we have about having such an obedient dog is that we no longer get to see Phillip. It's enough to make an owner invent a behavioural problem just so we can have him around for another visit.

The Ellis Family, Herne Hill

J.E, Herne Hill, London

Milo is a wonderfully spirited German Short Haired Pointer. He has a confident nature which would present more than your average set of expected behavioural challenges to be faced by the proud owner of a new puppy. Thanks to the dedication of his owners, Milo has turned out to be a truly wonderful example of a well trained adolescent gun dog. He is a true testiment of what can be achieved by bringing together a dedicated owner with the help and assistance of Bark Busters.

  • Aggression to a dog or other animal or where the dog is aggressive to the owner or a stranger
  • Barking at people, dogs, animals, birds or where the dog barks for attention or at the slightest noise
  • Jumping up at visitors or the dog jumps up at people on walks
  • Pulling on the Lead

Within the first visit we saw an improvement. I've learnt a hell of a lot about how my dogs think which has helped me see my dogs in a new light. My partner wasn't sure it was going to work, but he couldn't believe how effective some of the things we were taught are. We are both very impressed and will not hesitate in recommending Bark Busters.

Bonnie is a 2 year old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross rescue dog. She was rejected by her mother at 6 weeks old, and rescued from a broken home. Her rehabilitation has included introducing Bonnie to other dogs to socialise her and teach her to trust the leadership of her loving owners, without the need to aggress against other dogs. She is making good progress and is now well and truly on the path to full rehabilitation.

  • Aggression to a dog or other animal or where the dog is aggressive to the owner or a stranger
  • Pulling on the Lead
  • Recall or not coming when called

We have been very pleased with the sessions and results so far. Bark Busters have enabled us to also communicate with our dog without verbal instructions due to the owners deafness. I look forward to continuing sessions to develop our dog's obedience and well being. Thoroughly recommended.

A. S., Wallington, Surrey

Tyler is a male Golden Retriever. A specially adapted training programme was developed for this customer so as to enable his deaf parents to communicate with Tyler and actively participate in his training and behaviour modification.
