Steve has helped me address the problems I was having with my dog in full and also taught me how to control him in and out of the house. I no longer feel I have to fight with him to get him to respond to me - he is a pleasure to have now!

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.

Being at the end of our tether with Stella, we were very pleasantly surprised as to how simple the solution was. Everyone says it but it is true. It really was noticable within the first half hour and we now love playing with her.

  • Hyperactivity
  • Pulling on the Lead

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.

Having spent five years of being dragged on walks, we now have a great dog for walking. Thanks to a few hours spent with Steve we have no more embarrassing walks.

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

Found the training really useful. Rory responded well and is continuing to make good progress. We were really amazed at how much we, and him, learnt.
