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

In one session, Steve explained why my dog was barking. It was a 'light bulb moment'. He is, after just one day, much more relaxed and hasn't barked! What more can I say. Thanks Bark Busters - money well spent!

Steve proved to me that my dog is trainable and will respond to commands. He also made a very good sermon illustration!!

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

I can't believe the difference in my dogs behaviour. I honestly didn't think I would be able to train him but with the help and advice I received he is brilliant now. I think he's enjoyed the training as much as I have. Thanks.

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.

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.
