I'm your local therapist and I live with my wife Roz and our Border Collie, Ellie. Ellie is the reason I do the job I do. We'd never come across a dog like her after many Border Collies before her. Yes, every dog is different but she gave us a rude awakening.
In fact she gave us and our neighbours a very rude awakening at around 5am every morning! It was even worse when we found out our new neighbour had moved to escape a barking dog next door! As she got older, her behaviour deteriorated more and we read every dog behaviour book under the sun but nothing in those books applied to Ellie.
It was at this time I came across Bark Busters and their seeming ability to deal with anything. I was so impressed with their kind and easy to apply methods that I joined them and Ellie is now a different dog.
What's great about our methods is that they are not a 'one size fits all' system. Every dog is different and its environment and personality have to be taken into account which is what makes the job so interesting.
Years on and I've dealt with almost anything you can imagine from dogs that won't get in to cars to dogs that want to eat me!
Whatever your problem, I can help. Wouldn't it be great if your dog became a different dog too?

I am very pleased with our first session. I am confident Steve can help Ruby with her issues. My family can't believe how she has changed after the first session.
