From the first phone call with Alex we were really confident that he understood the issues we were experiencing with our 10 year old rescue miniature Schnauzer, Maggie. Our first lesson was very enlightening, enabling us to better understand both dogs' behaviours and how our behaviour influences theirs. Alex provided us with some no-nonsense advice and demonstrated the behaviours we should be expecting from the dogs. He gave us a good deal of confidence in our own abilities to work towards our desired outcomes without being judgemental about our current practices. The follow up notes were very comprehensive and were an excellent reflection of the time he spent with us, recapping the techniques to focus on and how we could measure success.
Great session with Maggie, her brother and their parents. It is important to try and identify the root cause of why dogs don’t listen or why they worry about things. Then with training (training the owners) and often some management, we can always make dogs listen better and worry less. It is also often difficult to resolve certain behavioural issues without looking at the bigger picture. Looking forward to catching up with them all next week.

Luna is an amazing dog with massive potential who loves attention, but it soon became apparent she didn’t sleep enough on a daily basis which resulted in some rather challenging behaviours. By simply introducing some structure, ground rules and more sleep, sha has come on leaps and bounds, and I was delighted when they sent me some footage of her enjoying time off lead on a walk!

Alex was absolutely brilliant, he had great patience and respect for Boris and us, we would definitely recommend his training programme, our lives are already better as a family, 👍thank you Alex
Loved meeting Boris and his parents. After a rather noisy start from Boris who definitely loves attention, he definitely started to bark less when we worked his brain. Looking forward to catching up with them all.

Alex was brilliant!! He gave us clear and focussed advice and practical help. It was a pleasure to work with him and Rita responded really positively throughout the visit. Alex gave us lots to work on and there were some instant changes in Rita’s behaviour which we’ve been able to build on and maintain. Alex never made us feel like bad parents !!
I really love and appreciate how much owners love their dogs, and it’s therefore not surprising that so many dogs manage to wrap their owners around their big or little paws. But with a few small changes and some consistency it’s so easy to change the dynamic so that dogs start to listen better and worry less. I was really impressed with how well Rita did on her initial training session and I’m delighted that they have already seen improvements in her behaviour. Keep up the good work!

Alex was amazing from start to finish! He catered exactly to my dogs needs through taking time to understand both my dog and myself. I have noticed massive changes to my dog and his behaviours for the better. Can’t recommend Alex enough!
Over the past few years there definitely been an increase in the number of home dog trainers and I think it is so important that customers should do their research to find the right trainer for them. They need to be able to put the owner at ease and ensure they know what to do to ensure their dogs listens better and if necessary, worries less. I always enjoy working with the owners as much as I enjoy working with their dogs. Over the past 11 years I have definitely come to realise that home dog training really is training the owner who in turn will train her dog(s). Really enjoyed this session and both the owner and their dog did so well.

I always enjoy working with the owners as much as I enjoy working with their dogs. And I have already had feedback to say that they have already seen massive improvements in the way she is behaving and she is far more relaxed when they have guests.

Only had Alex for one visit and he was very professional and friendly, my chihuahua buddy took to him straightaway, he has lots of issues and thinks he is the boss and protector, The training I have been left to do with buddy is going well, Alex has messaged me to see how buddy is doing and he can be contacted any time for support. I do believe by the time buddy's training has finished buddy will be a happier and more friendly little dog. After only one visit I would definitely recommend Alex and barkbusters.
I have met a lot of excitable smaller dogs over the past 11 years and in the main we tend to make a difference in the way the dog listens and behaves by the end of the initial session. Buddy certainly didn’t disappoint. Although he had form for running after people and barking at them when they tried to leave his home, he was on best behaviour for the entire session and within a couple of hours we became good friends. Most customers will get some relatively quick win’s following the initial session, but some behavioural issues can take a little longer to fix or improves. I’m looking forward to catching up with buddy in a few weeks time to build on his training.

Another lovely puppy and 2 more happy owners. They had both worked really hard since taking their puppy home, but they really wanted to know if they were getting things right. There is so much information on line, but wherever you read, someone erase will say something different. I have used the same training techniques I was taught over 10 years ago and they have always achieved the desired results.
