Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Lee was incredible! From the outset he achieved immediate results with my dog's behavioural issues of barking over conversations and jumping up. Although my initial reason for receiving training was to alleviate my dog's pulling on the lead, it transpired that there were so many other issues that need addressing that are all interlinked. You fail to realise you have become the dogs follower, not leader, and he has managed to control you and your life to his liking! Lee was clear, thorough and friendly with his instructions and training but it was also fun, because you could see the almost immediate consequences of the programming on your dog. He emailed really useful lesson notes and instructions so you can continue with the programme consistently until the next lesson. I would recommend Lee to anyone considering dog training, for whatever reason, in an instant. It's well worth the investment of time and money as it will certainly create a much better relationship between you and your dog and everyone and everything around you. Extremely happy, thank you!

Neil spent a long time getting to know Luna and observing the problems that we were having. She is a strong, bouncy and curious dog. Lockdown has meant that she can show fear of strangers especially coming into the house. Neil understood her problems and went a walk with us to observe how she could pull very strongly if she was interested in something - she is easily distracted. He suggested some useful training that we could do daily which we have been doing. He will then return and see our progress. So far most of it is going well and we are very hopeful that his valuable advice will make our lives easier. It is very difficult to fully rate your service in the star system below until we see how we go on in the longer term - thus only 4 stars.

Gina's insight in to a dogs behaviour was so helpful. Wilf is not a difficult dog however with support from Gina we were shown how he had started to assume a guarding position and that this is not helpful behaviour for a family pet. Gina is exceptionally easy to work worth as she is very realistic with training and how as an owner you can influence training but we are all only human so do forget at times. Her ability to obtain a relationship with Wilf almost immediately was incredible to watch.

I enjoyed the lesson and the techniques described all made lots of sense

Obedience / walking / checking for signs of any aggression due to previous bite.

I was very impressed with my training. Liz is a very good trainer explaining everything clearly didn't think I would see such positive results with Buddy but he's making good progress and I'm very happy with the way he responding to the training.

This lesson was better than expected. Answered many questions and gave us a clear plan going forward. Advice given has led us to a different approach to feeding, equipment, and approach to the way we train. Money well spent and looking fwd to our next meeting and discussion with Sharon.

Emma was asked to help us with our rescue 18 month old lady. When we initially booked it was for 2 ladies. Sadly Izzy's mom passed away. After some emails we decided to proceed. Emma kindly assessed us and Izzy and determined that physical training and correction was just not possible because of Izzy's state of stress and fear. Instead she proceeded giving us incredibly good advice regarding behaviour, exercise and feeding. We since had numerous supporting emails full of information. We have seen small amount of progress in just one week and is ready to contact Emma for a follow up. We expected a dog trainer and got so much more from Emma. I am looking forward to a very good and positive working relationship. Thank you Emma for showing us and Izzy compassion for our loss and insight into our problem with a clear plan moving forward.

I was a bit nervous about having a trainer come to the house once I spoke to Gina I knew I made the right decision.Gina made me feel relaxed and confident that i can train Chester. We talked about food which I found very interesting.I've been working on leadership making some progress also not allowing him to mark every where while walking him on his lead.I hope Gina will see how he's improved and I can start Chester on second stage.Thank you Gina

Amazing!! Within 15 minutes Shauna was getting Boss to do things I'd tryed for 6 years. I have been doing the training Shauna showed me on the 1st visit, I would say he's 70% better behaved in the house and garden. The barking has stopped. 2nd visit from Shauna is today I think she will be impressed.

Jo and graham have been absolutely amazing for us being first time dog owners! We NEVER would have thought about food making such a difference to a dog's behaviour, but Jo recommended new food and treats and it is like we have a new dog!

I had recently taken on two male pugs, very close in age. They would compete with each other; to have their harness put on first; to be first through the front door; to be first to sniff the approaching dog. Every walk was fraught. Then I came across Jo & Graham. Jo provided a very reassuring and understanding voice over the phone and took a great deal of time to talk through and note the issues we were experiencing, in order to equip Graham for his 1:1 visit with us. Graham arrived and immediately had gravitas with the dogs: they listened to him. He gave me very clear instructions to enable me to train and improve the dogs' behaviour. Things were improving, but there was still work to be done with the dogs and Graham kindly made another visit to us a few months later. That second training session with Graham really helped consolidate the training ideas I had been taught, and I now feel empowered and much more confident in dealing with any remaining behavioural issues. A huge thank you to both Jo and Graham - my "Manna from Heaven" - for helping us through our issues and for giving us the tools to keep improving.
