Alex dealt with Aggression, Jumping up, Separation anxiety

Chloe was a rescue dog, 9 years old, with no history and a lot of problems. She was testing boundaries, jumping all over the place, hated other dogs and suffered from separation anxiety. My partner and I were at a loss of what to do - we adored her but her behaviour was very challenging. Just taking her for a walk was giving me a stress headache. Alex really helped. He showed us techniques for calming her down (90% improvement in the home!) and for when we were out walking her. She really is a better behaved, happier dog. I don't think we are ever going to completely resolve her fear of other dogs (I hate to think what happened in the past to her) but because I can control her, understand the signs and feel an awful lot calmer after working with Alex, walking her is nearly a stress free experience.

- -.E, Sale, Cheshire (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Alex
Chloe has a real fear of other dogs and was extremely hyper in the home. I am delighted with how she has progressed since I have been working with her and her owners. Some behavioural issues such as fear of other dogs can take a long time to resolve, but in order to do so it is crucial that the owner manages the situation. Staying calm on walks when a dog's adrenalin kicks in is vital. With a consistent and calm approach I am confident that she will continue to improve so that both Chloe and her owners can enjoy their walks. Keep up the good work.

25th October 2013 - Kevin McDonnell

Kevin dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up

Training benson today was absolutely brilliant, Kevin explained and showed everything to us thoroughly. After only a few hours we had amazing results without any physical contact at all. We started with a very dominant dog who was constantly trying to be the leader of the pack and have finished with a calm submissive dog that's following commands that he never did before. Very, very happy and looking forward to the future with our dog. Worth every penny.

25th October 2013 - Lee Hardy

Lee dealt with Aggression, Barking

Lee was with us for a few hours and in that time i learnt what had been the trigger for my dogs nervous aggression and in that time started to work on methods to start to take control back and make her feel less nervous. i am on week one of the initial training and i am very hopeful as i have already notice a change in her behaviour i think it will be a while until she is totally happy with strangers but am confident Lee will help us make her into a happier dog who is a pleasure to walk.

24th October 2013 - Alex Fraser

Alex dealt with Puppy management

"Alex, showed great empathy with our lively 5 month old setter puppy Tess; he showed us how to cure her jumping up and how to get her to walk quietly on her lead. She's now a much calmer puppy, thanks Alex!"

- -.R, Wilmslow, Cheshire (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Alex
I love working with puppies and following their progress as they grow up. I often meet Tess and her owner when I am out walking and she is always a very well-behaved dog which is so nice to see.

24th October 2013 - Alex Fraser

Alex dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Recall

Flo is a two year old Puggle who was barking and jumping up at anyone who came in the house, barking at the window and every time someone knocked on the door. She also barked and nipped occasionally when me or my family were leaving the house without her. She couldn't be off the lead on the park because she chased bikes and people walking fast/jogging. Alex has been twice so far and spent a couple of hours with Flo, me & my family and explained to us what the problem was a why she was acting this way. Alex gave us a few manageable techniques to use with her to get her out of these habits. He explained them really well so we understood why we were doing what we were doing, showed us each thing a couple of times and then watched us do it. He wrote down a full guide for us before he left and told us what the most important things were. Alex was great with Flo (he clearly loves dogs!) and she responded to him really well which gave me confidence to try what he was doing. The best part about Alex coming out to see us was that he could see what the problems were and as he understands dogs so well he could tell us why she was like this, we got to the root of the problem and are now trying to change her behaviour so she is better behaved in general! Since Alex first came 4 weeks ago Flo has been much calmer from day one! I feel more confident and in control of her. She has not completely stopped barking at the window or the door yet but I think she will get there soon and it hasn't been that hard to follow Alex's instructions and get her to where she is now. I am really glad I called Alex, I feel happier, I think Flo is happier and her problems would have only gotten worse and now they are getting better each day and I know how to control her and teach her what she is and isn't allowed to do. Thanks Alex! I would recommend you to anyone having problems with their dogs.

- -.C, Swinton, Greater Manchester (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Alex
This was another case of a little dog who thought she was in charge of her house which, over time, not only caused her owner problems at home, but also on walks. For me it is so important that both dog and owner enjoy their time together when out walking. I went for a long walk with them both on our last session and I was delighted that Flo completely ignored a number of bikes that were racing around the park. Clearly her owner has put the work in and they are now both reaping the rewards. Well done!!

23rd October 2013 - Alex Fraser

Alex dealt with Aggression, Jumping up

We were experiencing difficulties when walking Maxi because of her aggression toward other dogs. In almost every other way she was a perfect dog but as walking and exercise are such an inherent part of dog ownership this was becoming a big issue. We contacted Alex Fraser through the Bark Busters website and arranged for him to come and assess Maxi. Within the first few minutes of the meeting Alex was already working with Maxi and getting results. The technique of growling at your dog, a little odd at first, has had a phenomenal effect. Maxi now walks to heel, using the special chain and lead we purchased and is much improved when the post man comes to deliver. The concern with her behaviour with other dogs was treated head on and Alex has taught us to reassess Maxi's place within the family. By placing her back in a subservient position she is much less stressed, happier and is greeting and socialising with other dogs in a way that we could never have imagined. We are delighted with Alex and with Bark Busters and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone experiencing issues with their dogs. For the sake of your beloved pets, if they need help, get it from these guys, you will not look back.

- -.A, Manchester, Lancashire (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Alex
Maxi and her owners are a pleasure to work with. They are really focused on what I taught them and keen to put my training into practise. Any aggression shown by a dog can be extremely stressful, however, as Maxi has shown, with the right training carried out by dedicated owners, harmony can be restored. This was backed up by a relaxed walk we all enjoyed when I brought my dog along with me - I was so pleased!! (...and I'm not sure who was more proud of Maxi - me or her owners?)

23rd October 2013 - Neil Price

Neil dealt with Puppy management, Toileting, Other

Very Pleasant and helpful - solved one problem almost instantly. Looking forward to a great life with our puppy Bob. Neil was easy to talk to and explain my issues to. I would recommend him to anyone in this area with issues.

22nd October 2013 - Lee Hardy

Lee dealt with Barking, Pulling, Recall

Lee was very helpful and made us feel relaxed with the training of lilly, he was very easy to talk to and answered all our questions. Lilly is responding well with the training even though it only her first session, she is a changed dog, looking forward to our next session thank you Lee

- -.J, Birmingham, West Midlands (Testimonial)

16th October 2013 - Lee Hardy

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

Lee was fantastic. Within 10 minutes he has us walking Tex to heel with out pulling, something which even 10 weeks of obedience training never achieved. We had no idea that Tex's problem was nervousness rather than aggression. The techniques that Lee showed us has helped him so much in the house especially. He is no longer constantly pacing and following us around as much. From day one he became so much more relaxed we thought he was ill! We do have more work to do in his over the top greeting with other dogs and visitors but we are making amazing progress and I have every confidence that with Lee's help we will get there.
