I've never been able to walk my dog without him pulling me. With Steve's help I was able to walk him by my side which was fantastic. And to have my dog respond in such a short time was great. I feel confident to continue the training with support from Steve.

Zac is a very large, fearful German Shepherd and we were amazed at what a difference there was in his behaviour just with three hours of training with Steve.

We are highly impressed with Steve and he had to work very hard with our very powerful Zac.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Bark Busters to anyone and everyone. We are elated with his continual progress!!

Steve was very friendly and helpful. He gave us both theory and practice which worked wonders - we were very surprised by the results. Nice to have someone so friendly to work with - will be recommending him to friends.
