Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

5th August 2020 - Alex Fraser

Alex dealt with Aggression, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Toileting

Thanks to Alex we have gone from thinking we have the border collie puppy version of the anti-Christ to a puppy that can be trained ! There is work to do, no one should mistakenly think that a puppy can be trained immediately like they magically appear to do on TV dog trainer programmes, but with work and the help of a great trainer like Alex it can be done. On a personal level Alex was very knowledgeable, easy to work with and had a great sense of humour, I would highly recommend his services to anyone. Thanks

Trainer note from Alex

The first 12 months with any puppy can be a challenge, even if people have owned dogs before! We are never going to fully train a puppy in 3 hours, 3 weeks or 3 months, but I can provide owners with the tools and skills to train their puppies to be well behaved adults when they grow up. Training never ends, but it is not complex and fits in with day to day life, and as long as owners are consistent, they will get the results that they are after!

4th August 2020 - Jacquie Callaby

Jacquie dealt with Puppy management

Jacqui was really great. Very knowledgeable and helped us start to train our deaf dog. I was left with lots of info and different things to try.

- -.B, Surbiton, Surrey (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Jacquie

Little Daisy is deaf, but we think she may hear some tones so we are going to work on that. It’s also very important at this early stage that she’s focused on her owner & as she gets a little older we will work on this more so we are able to get her to come to her owner on a hand signal.

3rd August 2020 - Ben Jordan

Ben dealt with Pulling, Puppy management, Recall

Ben was brilliant he put me at ease as soon as he walked in. He was so patient and made sure I was happy with each exercise we did. In all Ben was with us for over 3 hours and I felt really positive when he left. I am so pleased I took the step and called Bark Busters as I am sure Luna and I are on the way to a happy trained dog thanks to Ben

1st August 2020 - Alex Fraser

Alex dealt with Aggression, Pulling, Other

We thoroughly enjoyed our training with Alex last week. Tommy loved him and it was immediately clear that he knew what he was doing. Previously I was concerned about feeling silly and judged but Alex made us feel at ease and empowered to train Tommy. We saw some incredible immediate results and have clear instructions on continuing to build on these. I would definitely recommend Alex to anyone searching for a trainer. Thanks Alex! Laura Fenn

- -.L, Prestwich, Greater Manchester (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Alex

I couldn’t have said it much better myself. I’m simply looking to restructure the pecking order, by training and empowering the owners so that their dogs trust, respect and listen to them more, and in turn worry less about things outside of their control. Really enjoyed this session and I’m looking forward to catching up with them in the future. 

1st August 2020 - Ben Jordan

Ben dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Sibling rivalry

Fabulous thank you really well explained . I was so pleased to talk to someone about my three dogs, Ben was brilliant with them. The practices we did indoors and out on walks with them went really well. Other people have noticed a difference in the dogs. My son couldn't believe the difference in walking with me and the dogs three days later. Benji has changed quite a bit not barking on walks he has the occasional set back if he seems a dog head on all of a sudden when it can't be helped but I correct him like Ben showed me and he's immediately quiet. Wish I had met Ben years ago! Looking forward to our next meeting. Thank you Barkbusters.

1st August 2020 - Sharon Chapman

Sharon dealt with Barking, Separation anxiety

I was at the end of my tether but Sharon has explained a lot to us which all made sense. Really good processes to try, things you wouldn't think about and really pleased with how it's going so far. Still only at the start but already seeing signs of improvement. Cannot recommend Sharon high enough everything she said made sense and I know I can always contact her if I need help with anything.

30th July 2020 - Neil Price

Neil dealt with Aggression

Neil was very friendly and put us at ease - he showed us techniques we can use with ruby when walking her to help manage her aggression towards other dogs and whilst it's not an overnight fix, we've begun to see results within the first week

- -.K, Macclesfield, Cheshire (Testimonial)

30th July 2020 - Alex Fraser

Alex dealt with Aggression, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Other

The training was amazing! Alex made me feel really comfortable and not daft for how I was feeling or how Nigel was reacting. Alex taught me many ways, easily and thoroughly, that I can train Nigel with to be a better behaved dog so we can both live a happy stress free life. Nigel learnt quite quickly during the session but we still have a way to go but with the tools I was given I'm sure we will be fine, Thankyou again to Alex for giving me the confidence and knowledge I needed :)

- -.C, Oldham, Lancashire (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Alex

Often when we take on a rescue dog we over compensate with love and affection so that they realise they have found their forever home. However in doing so we sometimes make them a little more stressed. By building in some simple ground rules and giving them attention on your terms, not theirs, we should have a much happier dog and owner. Keep up the good work!

26th July 2020 - Neil Price

Neil dealt with Puppy management

Very good Helped us to understand how to manage our puppy needs and behaviour Would definitely recommend to others

- -.E, Warrington, Cheshire (Testimonial)

25th July 2020 - Alex Fraser

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

From the first contact Alex made us feel easy. His mannerism and overall development of the lesson made perfect sense from the onset. We felt so at ease as did Poppy. The explanations and instructions were clear and concise and built logically with explanation at each stage. Since the lesson (2 days) we have noticed a difference with out 9 month old Weimaraner, she is much more relaxed and seems to have an overall calmer demeanour. She is adapting well to the instructions and training followups we have been given. Can't wait for the next session (oh and we will have smaller cups for the brew??). Gail & Tony & Poppy

- -.T, Oldham, Lancashire (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Alex

Even if we have had dogs before, a puppy can be quite hard work. Some one on one training can certainly get owners back in the right direction, and follow up support can be useful to make sure we address any other issues that might crop up. I’m looking forward to catching up with them all in a few weeks.Â
