Bark Busters has given me more freedom as I can now walk my dog alongside the pushchair (new born).

Tina Edwards dealt with:
After only one session there is a great difference in my dog. He is better behaved both inside and outside the house. Inside he knows his boundaries i.e. furniture, outside he is more relaxed and therefore doesn't feel the need to bark at everything in sight hysterically. The day after Tina's visit I was confronted on a pavement by an oncoming dog off the lead and my dog remained under control, whereas before he would have gone mad. Unwanted behaviour has stopped almost immedeately. So all in all we are very satisfied if this is the improvement after one visit, we look forward to the next visits.
This GSD x Collie is only young, but has a rather anxious personality. I showed his owners how to give him confidence and gain their own, showing him how to listen to their commands in the knowledge that they knew best, not him! He responded very well to the work we did, walking him past barking dogs and teaching him to ignore them. It is lovely to hear that Mrs L was able to control him in a difficult situation the following day.

Tina Edwards dealt with:
Sambo and Piglet are two Greek dogs adopted by us during our 30 year residence in Greece and brought to this country in October 2009. They are two of nine dogs, all Greek rescues we brought with us. Sambo has always beena "barket" and from an early age established his position as Alpha dog in the family. I have never been able to cure or even minimuze his barking. Piglet was rescued from a garden centre where he was kept on a 1 metre chain and lived in a rusty barrel outside in all weathers. Surrounded by excrement and filth he is a miniature poodle cross and was considered a "good guard dog" because he would bite anyone who came near him! I have not been able to cure his (now)intermittent indoor urinating against furniture. This is a long established habit and I do not know whether we can ever cure it completely, even with Tina's help. I feel more hopeful about the barking problem.
A delightful pack of 9 dogs of various size and age. We actually worked with all of them for various exercises so that Sambo could see all the dogs responding. He did very well, but it will take consistent work by his owners as he had been elected the minder by the rest of the pack! Piglet's issues with toileting will not be cured overnight, but with patience and the changes recommended, he should gradually respond.

Tina Edwards dealt with:
We have tried other dog trainers without success, but with Tina Edwards from Bark Busters, both our dogs responded straight away. We felt very comfortable with her and her methods.
Two 4 year old Shihtzu brothers who had a little sibling rivalry, but the owners' main issue was aggression to other dogs and people making walks a real chore rather than a pleasure. I coached the owners to show the dogs how they should be behaving, getting them to focus on the person holding the lead and walk quietly next to them. Keeping their focus when meeting situations that would normally cause aggressive barking and were therefore able to redirect their behaviour in a more positive manner.

Merseyside (Testimonial)
5th May 2010
Andy Waterhouse dealt with:
We were very pleased with the way Jack responded to Andy at the beginning of our session. We thought that Andy took on our concerns regarding Jack and his chase instinct/aggression/excitement to other breeds of dogs.
The training was helpful and Andy suggested ways of improving what boundaries we currently set Jack.
Overall a very positive session which left us bursting with pride and enthusiasm to carry on the work from our session. Thank you!
Bow, London (Testimonial)
3rd May 2010
Lynn Prentice dealt with:
Easy to understand. With results after the first session.
This rescue Papillion x Jack Russell had been lucky enough to find a lovely new home, and was busy making sure everyone in it stayed nice and safe. We have begun to show her that her owners don't need her to bark and guard them, or to be protective as they are the ones who look after everything. On the first session she happily stopped racing to the front door and started walking much better on her lead. Things can only get better.

David and Anthony Swindells dealt with:
The training has had a really positive effect and Milo is calmer and happier for it. I would recommend Barkbusters without hesitation. I previously had another behaviourist who clearly didn't address my dogs behaviour. It is reassuring that now I have someone who I can trust with my dogs behaviour......

Jen Phillips dealt with:
Jen was friendly and professional in her dealings with us. Her clear teaching and instructions enabled us to continue the practice that she prescribed for our two dogs, both of which are clearly benefiting from the techniques used.
