20th March 2018 - Lee Hardy

Lee dealt with Aggression, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall

Introducing our adorable loving Bud, a 4 yr old cross breed who is highly intelligent, very energetic and very loving. We have had him from a puppy, took him puppy classes, socialised and boarded him with other dogs. Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, Bud began to shows signs of perceived aggression to dogs he didn't know, yet at the same time play merrily with dogs he does know. Confused we called in Bark Busters. Lee visited us on 3rd March 2018 to help us with our boy Bud. Lee spent over 2hrs with us, listened to what the issues were whilst at the same time monitored Bud and his behaviour. Lee was thorough with his explanations and then began to educate us on how to let Bud know what was not acceptable with a simple command. Starting with small steps we worked on walking on the lead, Bud loved to lead from the front (yes believing he was in charge). The new technique worked instantly and continues to work 2 weeks later. This has not stopped his attitude towards other dogs but has allowed us to have better control over Bud and making walks more leisurely without 25 kilo of dog pulling on the lead. Lee revisited us 2 weeks later on our request without hesitation and introduced us to a couple more techniques, we are only 2 days into practising these, but Bud being intelligent is working it out quickly. Bud was always good on the recall, however, following Lee's advise, Buds recall is on another level, he is returning with gusto. Still a long way to go but we are pleased with the results so far. A big thank you to Bark Busters and especially to Lee. Looking forward to our next education.

Actually quite amazing! The change in Bertie's behaviour for the better was virtually instant and I'm sure he will go from strength to strength as I continue to implement the techniques that Kevin taught with such an expert simplicity that was easy to follow. Highly recommended.

- -.D, southend on sea, Essex (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Graham
Indie is a lovely looking small Bearded Collie Cross. She had a very uncertain start in life and had at least two homes before she was rehomed from a dog pound by her current owners. She has always been very fearful of men and unfortunately has nipped several male family visitors. For safety her owners have been locking Indie in the bedroom but she then becomes very distressed and destructive when visitors come. They have got to the point where they are reluctant to have visitors as she constantly barks at the same time. Her owners are very experienced dog owners and want to work on handling her fears. They are very open to how to handle Indie effectively and are willing to muzzle train her so that they can allow her to be with a man without the risk of injury while working on keeping her calm and under their control. She has responded very well and the next session we will be practicing with a volunteer man.

18th March 2018 - Gina Williams

Gina dealt with Aggression, Barking, Puppy management, Separation anxiety

Gina was amazing. She showed us several training techniques that put us back in control of a dog who thought he was head of security. We noticed an improvement immediately. We will be continuing all the training methods over the next few weeks and hopefully by then we will have a calm and relaxed house again. We can't thank you enough Gina!

15th March 2018 - Estelle Jackson

Estelle dealt with Aggression, Jumping up

Very impressed with Estelle and the initial visit. Estelle spent almost four hours with us, spending time to hear our concerns, explaining the training methods, and the reasons behind both the t raining and Monty's current behavior. Understanding it really helped the information to stick. We weren't expecting miracles, but Monty responded immediately. We are genuinely surprised and delighted with the progress made so far. Looking forward to building on this early success.

14th March 2018 - Gina Williams

Gina dealt with Aggression, Chewing, Puppy management

Gina was most helpful. Pointing out things that we were doing. It's fairly obvious that Alf has us wrapped round his little paw without us realising it! We have seen an improvement in the first few days, obviously it is going to take a little while to turn the situation round, but he is listening more already. So far so good, thank you Gina!

12th March 2018 - Alex Fraser

Alex dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Puppy management, Separation anxiety, Toileting

Wow, amazing change in my puppy. Should wouldn't even leave the house for walks before and now after the first session Alex managed to get her walking! Literally feels like a miracle. Now our walks are much more pleasant and I don't have to carry her around. She's still a baby so I'm looking forward to more training in the near future. Alex also taught me how to show my pup who's in charge and how to get her to listen to me, works perfectly, she no longer stands under my feet when I'm cooking food. Excellent communication and excellent service, very pleased! Thank you Alex!

- -.J, Didsbury, Lancashire (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Alex
Sometimes by the time we have finished working with a dog in the home, the issues that they used to have outside are no longer a problem. This was one of those sessions and I am delighted to hear that her young dog is now confidently walking from her apartment. I’m really looking foward to catching up with them both next week to work on her heel work.

11th March 2018 - Alex Fraser

Alex dealt with Pulling, Recall

Alex explained everything well and was able to answer all my questions. I found Alex very friendly and knowledgeable. He trained my husband and myself how to handle Dexter and Dexter learnt some training on the lead. We were very happy with Alex and feel sure that all the issues with Dexter will be sorted out.
