It made all the difference having Bobby's behaviour explained in a way we understood and to be shown simple techniques that had such an impact in resolving our problems, which we were able to do by ourselves with confidence.

Once explained, the methods/techniques made complete sense. Steve was our 'third' attempt at gaining control of our dog and the only one to have made a difference. Six weeks in and the techniques are really paying off. It's been hard work but well worth it.

Very impressed! Within ten minutes Steve had shown me and had got the dog walking by my side - something he has never done! We have lots of practicing to do but I'm determined to have a calm, well trained dog and I know I have the techniques to do it.

Whilst Steve was here the change in Bernard was clearly visible. After just a few hours, Bernard was responding to all commands. I would have no hesitation in recommending Bark Busters.

Good, clear guidance and instruction from Steve on the problems that we were having with our dog. Taking him for a walk was a complete nightmare. The results were instantaneous. We now feel like we are back in charge.

We know that we are going to have to persevere with the training and techniques that Steve showed us but we are so pleased with the results.

Just wished we'd done it sooner. Thanks Steve
