Reviews & Testimonials For Alex Fraser

Alex came to my house as I had a few issues with a rescue pomeranian. From the moment we met him, he put us all at ease, including Poppy. Our main issue is that whilst she is out on a lead, she constantly barks at everything and just doesn't enjoy her walks. He explained that the training starts inside the house and as soon as she knows I am in charge and will look after her she will start to relax. We have been practising for 2 days, and the results so far are amazing. We no longer have barking in the house and have seen a massive improvement on walks. We have a way to go yet to get a relaxed poppy outside, but with our homework, I am sure we will get there. I can not thank Alex enough for showing us what we need to do.

We had Alex come to our home just over a month ago now to help us with our cockapoo Sergio. We needed help with some problems such as boredom whilst we wasn’t home, even after 1 hour 30 min walks per day, getting crazily excited and jumping on people and dogs when coming into our home and lastly pulling on walks especially when he’s seen another dog unable to calm down afterwards. We were unsure how to deal with these problems as Sergio is very clever, so we felt as though he was outdoing us. Alex was a lovely man, very calm and very knowledgeable. Alex taught us so much and it was all so simple and easy to put into place and it’s made a world of difference for us! There are still some minor improvements needed but it’s a marathon not a sprint so we’re still chipping away and hoping everything Alex taught us will soon become second nature to us all. We’ve had great results that’s been noticed by family, friends and daycare so we would highly recommend Alex to anybody needing help.

We desperately needed some help with our Rescue Dog Gillie everyone that entered the house was subject to very aggressive / intimidating barking especially my brother. We had Gillie in another room as advised and introduced her to Alex again very aggressive approach. By the end of our session Gillie was asleep on Alexs' feet. Alex taught us with that control verbally is what a dog needs no shouting pulling etc and lots and lots training tires the dog mentally as they need this challenge on a daily basis. "BAH" affords you some control in the house. Gillie still has a long way to go as she was a street dog so has known no boundaries or experienced any early socialising skills. Within a week with lots of training around door manners my brother was able to come in and watch football with my partner with a nice relaxing beer and a relaxed dog on his feet ......... nothing short of miraculous!!! We have a lot of walking / park issues to resolve so need to keep going. I do feel that rescue centres should work hand in hand with Bark Busters before rescue dogs are released to peoples homes - better experience for the rehomed dog and their new owners! Alex is unbelievable ..... Actual Dog Whisperer ............ only down side is he wasn't able to move in with us lol!!! I think the 12 months is a must and would highly recommend Alex to anyone with a new dog as teaching them well now will hopefully reap rewards for you and them later.

Alex was great!!! What a pro. He has enabled us to better manage our furry beast (50kg’s of muscle) with simple and straightforward commands and body language. We know it’s often the humans that need the training not the dogs so we’re incredibly grateful to Alex for not making us feel tooooo daft 😂 It was a great session and the results are starting to show only a week later. We’ve still got lots of work to do but with Alex’s support over the next 12 months we know we’ll get there. Thanks Alex 🐾🐾

Wow, what can I say except Thank you so much to Alex for all his valuable advice and his help. Teddy is our rescue dog who we had had for 6 weeks when he came, we were so worried that he wouldn’t be able to help us, but we saw an amazing difference in Teddy within a few minutes of him being here. Alex gave us lots of valuable advice, tips and homework to do, we were so impressed that we decided to take out the 12month package as security.. we look forward to working further with him. Alex is a genuine, kind person, and Teddy loved him straight off!

Where to start. I have 3 Dachshunds and 2 of them are nuts. I’m sorry I love them but they can act so wild. On Alex’s arrival I was somewhat sceptical if he could help us. They were barking, fighting and jumping frantically. An hour into the session the dogs began to respond to commands Alex taught me. And by the end of the session they stopped barking wouldn’t leave a room with out my say so and they were absolutely Exhausted as were we. When Alex left I began to cry as I have really poor health conditions and I thought I may have to get my dogs a new family. Alex thank you for making this home a happy and peaceful one in only one session. I can’t wait for the next.

Alex was absolutely wonderful - from the minute he stepped through our front door he reassured us both that any issues we were facing could be corrected with a bit of patience and consistency. He spent as much time training us as the owners as he did Rudi which was super helpful and gave us the confidence to continue the training after he had left. In the weeks since our first lesson we have noticed how much more settled Rudi is and how well he is reacting to being in a routine with lots of mental stimulation to tire him out. As a beagle Rudi can go for hours physically and so it was vital that we nailed some mentally challenging activities for him so he was more settled and started to get some much needed sleep. We can't wait to see Alex again to start taking the next steps in Rudi's training.

Unable to put into words the incredible positive impact Alex’s support, training and guidance has made. Lunar has made leaps of progress and we are continuing to work on the tools given to us. Thank you so much

Amazing first session!! We have a very anxious 2 Yr old GSD. He is extremely reactive to strangers. After our first session Alex was able to walk alongside him without reaction which is a massive achievement. He was also able to be in the house without Bruce going crazy. Training was explained really well and the difference already has been great. Excited to see how we can build on this to help settle Bruce's anxiety.

Alex was great with Max and was really helpful with the problems we had.he gave us some really good techniques to use and we have already seen positive progress. Thanks again, would definitely recommend Alex and BarkBusters.

As Alfie is our first ever dog, I felt I needed training and Alex made me feel at ease and not at all stupid. He gave me simple and easy to follow instructions. One month down the line Alfie is getting a lot better (bar his 6 month adolescent tantrums when he doesn't want to listen on occasions lol). More importantly Alfie is at ease with Alex. I would recommend Alex

What a wonderful experience! Having purchased both Eric and Ernie during lockdown we were all too aware of the lack of socialisation skills and etiquette the puppies have had the opportunity to experience, and had witnessed first hand the distress of separation anxiety having been with them 24 - 7 then returning to work. After our first session with Alex we were absolutely delighted with the results. Alex was informative, and very intuitive to both puppy’s current skills levels and capacity to learn (our pups are 11 months and 3 months old, and different breeds) Alex is so knowledgeable and inspires confidence. I’m delighted to say we’re proud and astounded by the progress made in our first session and are excited for the next! Thank you Alex!
