Reviews & Testimonials For Ben Jordan

When our new dog Nessa started to make us feel we genuinely needed some external help and advice, initial research left us confused. Did we need a dog trainer or a dog behaviourist? After lengthy research and lots of discussion, we kept circling back to Ben at Barkbusters. We took the plunge and arranged our first session. After that first session we felt that Ben provided everything we expected in terms of behaviour and training. The results were immediate and Ben spent lots of time listening to our individual concerns before teaching us how get the very best out of Nessa in terms of basic behaviour, control and most of all, being able to go for walks whilst while Nessa stayed calmly at heal, ignoring distractions and accepting that during walks, and whilst indoors, we were pack leaders and not her. The changes to our lives, and I must add Nessa's, have been immeasurable. She is now a much happier, calmer, content dog. Ben has always been on hand if we needed advice, and left us with a renewed self confidence that we could do everything he taught us. That more than anything, made all the difference. Thank you Ben & Thank you Barkbusters. Maggie, Colin & Nessa

Excellent 1st visit from Ben, he was calm and put both Billy and myself at ease, easy to follow techniques, cannot believe how quickly we managed Billy to walk well on a lead it is now a pleasure to take him for a walk, the barking is becoming less and looking forward to the next lesson with Ben

Thank goodness for Ben Jordan! We had almost reached desperation point with our two Jack Russell puppies, as despite being a doggy household we were struggling to overcome the multiple training problems we were experiencing. We particularly needed help with their constant barking which was disturbing our neighbours as well as being problematical for us. This attention seeking extended to whenever we were getting ready to go for a walk, the puppies and our older dog would run around barking and were completely out of control as we tried to leave the house. Ben spent a long time with us, really getting to know the dogs and listening to us as we worked through our various concerns. He then started instigating step by step training techniques ensuring we were both confident to use these methods too. We were so pleased to see the dogs responding so well. It didn't stop there as Ben joined us on a walk round the local area, clearly demonstrating the correct way to control the dogs on a loose lead. Since the end of our first lesson we are practising the techniques Ben taught us every day. We are so pleased with the positive response we are getting and the dogs seem so much happier and more settled too. We are looking forward to our next lesson and thoroughly recommend Ben to anyone needing support with their dog.

Ben is an incredible trainer. Spot & I learnt so much that afternoon and all information was super clear. It was a lot to take in so I was grateful for the notes Ben emailed me at the end of the day so that I could continue with the training. My main concern with Spot was that he no longer wanted to get into my car. Just 4 and 5 days after Ben's visit and Spot has been getting in without any bother. He is listening more to my commands and is walking much better on the lead. This has been the best money I have ever spent! Thank you Ben, you have changed our lives.

Ben is really friendly and put us at ease straight away. He explained the process really well and checked all of the way through with us that we understood what he was saying during training sessions. He was brilliant with Dottie who I think has become her best buddy! Dottie responded to Ben really well and we noticed a difference in her behaviour over the following weeks and beyond. Ben was professional at all times and we are looking forward to our next training session. I would not hesitate to suggest bark busters to friends or family

Our first lesson with Ben went really well. He listened to our concerns and showed us ways to work towards achieving a solution. He was very patient and re explained if we were unsure. We went through different scenarios indoors and outside. We feel that Ben gave us the tools to firstly help us become better dog owners and for Rex to understand what was expected of him. Thankyou Ben just wish we had contacted you sooner.

Having been recommended to Ben by a couple while on a dog walk, I can honestly say that with his guidance and thorough demonstrations, he has helped us to start enjoying walks with our dog. We had issues with lead pulling especially and this was resolved within half an hour of being outside. Having 1st done some training within the house and property boundaries it was a joy to see that Ben's advice and guidance was quickly showing signs of promise and the results were almost instantaneous. Carrying on with the training we are seeing progress on a daily basis and I couldn't recommend the service Ben provided enough. Thankyou.

Ben was great very nice/polite pointed out some simple things we were doing wrong with our dog and why. Showed us a new way of reinforcing behaviours that we wanted and so far everything has stuck. Would definitely recommend him to anyone needing help with their own dog

Well it's been a month since Ben's visit. I am so happy and delighted with the result from just one training event. I would say that improvements have been 70/30 with me needing the 70% improvement and confidence to train my dog effectively. Skye understands and improvement was almost instant and that is no exaggeration. He is still young and will try it on when I lapse but I now have the knowledge to correct unwanted behavior. Our walks are such a joy now. Thank you from Skye (10mth Border Collie) and me for putting our relationship and future on the right track.

This was our first meeting with Ben. Ben arrived on time at the date agreed. Ben took his time to tell us about himself and Bark Busters. Ben introduced us to a number of basic training essentials ensuring that my wife and I fully understood the examples. We also completed repetitive training drills with Millie. We plan this arrangement to last the whole of the coming year and We are sure that we will I still some good dog manners etc in Millie during that time. Ben was excellent and he left us thinking we had known him for years rather than a few short hours. Very impressed. David & Lorraine Sanders

Ben was brilliant from the moment he arrived. He explained everything to us easily so we could understand and we felt at ease with him there.

Extremely helpful. I learnt an awful lot. Already seen improvement. Regret I didn't get help from Bark Busters sooner!
