  • 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

3rd March 2009

  • Barking at people, dogs, animals, birds or where the dog barks for attention or at the slightest noise
  • Separation Anxiety

Not only did Steve solve the barking, he also showed me how to get a more respectful Ellie who doesn't pull on the lead, run away off the lead and has excellent teeth due to the diet he suggested.

M.R., Blackpool, Lancashire

12th February 2009

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

We have tried different methods of training for our dogs in the past but not until now had we tried home training. Steve, the trainer, was extremely helpful. He was very informative and thorough. Our boisterous retriever, Jake, settled down within 10 minutes of Steve's arrival and we were later outside walking Jake on the lead without him pulling. I highly recommend Bark Busters and look forward to our next session.

There is life before Steve and life after. Believe me, life after is so much happier. Simple, clear, effective and kind methods were effective from day one. Meg is so relieved to have reliable leaders. Great to know Steve is at the end of a phone should we lapse! Highly recommend.

Before Steve came to our house I just couldn't see how he could help us train our dogs. Well he was fantastic. He didn't judge us and he talked in "our language". We saw results immediately and we are looking forward to having healthy, happy and trained dogs.
