Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Easy-to-follow instructions made a huge difference in the dog's behaviour, knowing what to do and how to address her, compared to attempts at self-training, which barely worked. The instructor was friendly and supportive.

From the first phone call with Alex we were really confident that he understood the issues we were experiencing with our 10 year old rescue miniature Schnauzer, Maggie. Our first lesson was very enlightening, enabling us to better understand both dogs' behaviours and how our behaviour influences theirs. Alex provided us with some no-nonsense advice and demonstrated the behaviours we should be expecting from the dogs. He gave us a good deal of confidence in our own abilities to work towards our desired outcomes without being judgmental about our current practices. The follow up notes were very comprehensive and were an excellent reflection of the time he spent with us, recapping the techniques to focus on and how we could measure success.

Estelle gave valuable advice and pointed out the areas we need to focus on, even during initial visit Finn was more comfortable with someone being in the house. We are continuing with the training she gave us including key words and door training so our dog understands their role

Sharon was very good everything seemed to make sense & works

Alex was absolutely amazing how my dog settled immediately we have some work to do with the barking but Alex made it so easy to understand and what is best to do and the way Alex explained and gave demonstrations and then I had to do it it was all just so easy and clear and straight forward Alex is absolutely lovely and very easy to get along with with helps the training process more I can not thank him enough for all his help

Estelle Jackson was great help and support. The first lesson was very insightful and informative.

We recently re-homed Marbles (we think he’s a Staffy-Boxer cross of some sort) from a local dog’s home. He’s about 18 months old but we didn’t really know what to expect given he was handed in as a stray. Whilst he is undoubtedly a lovely tempered dog, he wasn’t great at listening or following commands. We reached out to Alex because we wanted to give our new dog the best start in his new environment, and given his breed felt that professional advice and support would be sensible. Alex was brilliant in his follow up from the initial enquiry; he is thorough and knowledgeable and explained his services clearly. He is also realistic in what we could hope to achieve in the initial session. On the day of our appointment, Alex was again brilliant. He set us at ease, and instilled us with confidence in how to interact with our new dog (particularly the very boisterous jumping up we get regualrly). Every dog is different, but I feel like Alex knew exactly where to start with ours. He taught us to communicate with Marbles on a variety of situations, showed us how to walk him properly on a lead and reduce the pulling (Alex also provided us with some better equipment to help - it’s now like a different dog on our daily walks). Alex was also very helpful in explaining nutritional needs of dogs and gave us some useful pointers. After our first session, Alex shared a number of documents so we had follow-up homework to maintain the consistency with training Marbles, so he could be the best version of himself. I’m really glad we chose BarkBusters as it’s given us the perfect platform and more importantly, empowered us to provide the best support for our new pooch!

Estelle was fabulous covering everything from nutrition and health, history and current behaviour to get to the root of Peggy's anxiety

Lee was absolutely amazing with both our dogs. Literally within the first 30mins he taught us a tactic to calm them down and teach them not to jump and get over excited, this worked and continues to work! He then taught us tricks to use to improve recall and attention on us rather than otter dogs, this is also going very well. We can see a change in our dogs already and it's only been a week. Really looking forward to our next session.
