Dog Obedience Trainer & Behavioural Therapist

So helpful with lots of practical strategies to help us. We will continue to practice these and then seek help for the next stages.

We have seen excellent progress with both dogs. Steve made sure we were happy with the training and understood what we needed to do. The follow up was very good and built on the progress we had made after the first visit.

Six weeks after we rehomed Alfie, a year old collie cross from Manchester Dogs Home, it felt like we'd made a dreadful mistake.

Walks were a miserable chore with his pulling and meeting other dogs an embarrassment. Local training classes proved useless, so in desperation, I contacted Bark Busters and was visited by Steve Smithson.

Following his instructions, Alfie and I have improved beyond belief, and although it's been hard, frustrating work at times and we still have a long way to go, with Steve's encouragement Alfie is now a pleasure to walk and a dog to be proud of.

We were really pleased with the service you provided. Steve was really helpful and we now feel we have the tools to manage our dog's behaviour and are able to enjoy her in the family.

Absolutely tremendous! What a transformation. The house is a much happier, calmer place. Excellent and a must for anyone. 100% recommendation.

I found the whole experience of Steve's training methods very impressive and I've learnt how to deal with many different situations. Steve was very helpful and the three hours just passed in minutes it seemed. Thanks.

As the song goes... "What a difference a day makes!" Toby is now so much more obedient and therefore adorable! Thank you.

Steve was brilliant. We learnt a lot and the dog is happy and more relaxed.

I was told by a dog trainer that I didn't deserve to have my dog because she wasn't fully trained and was refused help. My pup was just 15 weeks old and I was looking to get help with my training. This upset me and I lost my confidence in dog trainers. My dog is now 10 months old and Bark Busters have helped me with all aspects of training and I am more than happy with the results so far.

Within two hours my dog's barking in the garden had stopped. Three weeks later it has not returned. Steve was superb. I'm still working with the dog to cure some minor problems and have found that the techniques really work. Would recommend to anyone.
