Milo is a lovely dog, but just needed some ground rules. First session went really well and we saw an improvement by the end of the session.

Lee was very good couldn't believe the change in Archie in such a short time everything was explained so we could carry it on when we were on our own

Sharon dealt with Barking, Pulling, Recall

We have not been with Bark Busters for long however we have seen some results with our dog Millie. The training we received from our therapist has taught us immensely how to deal with the behaviour problems we faced with Millie.

Bernie and I had a session with Jo today and I have to say a big thank you, Jo was friendly but also very thorough and professional. As a first time dog owner I was able to ask all kinds of questions without feeling I should know the answers. Jo was brilliant, she went through everything and left plenty of reading material to reinforce everything we covered. Her advice was invaluable and she backed up advice with explanations or examples. I already feel I have made progress and look forward to putting her advice into action. Just knowing I can contact Jo again if I do have problems is reassuring. Five star service and I am happy to recommend Jo and Bark Busters.

Trainer note from Graham
Bernie is a lovely Basset Hound puppy who is currently spending his time stepping on his own huge ears until he grows into his body a bit more. He is fearful of the car so we spent time playing with him while it was stationery and then switching the car engine on so he can learn to enjoy spending time in the car. As with many puppies he is mouthing and nipping a lot which has resulted in breaking of skin on his owners legs. It is important that a puppy learns to control the force of his mouthing and how to play nicely so I showed his owner how to teach him to play nicely and to chew on something other than her! We also started to put the steps in needed when he gets very over excited and jumpy at food time. Bernie was very responsive to the training and keen to engage with his owner. She had done some excellent work with him already and simply needed practical guidance to deal with the difficulties she was having. I am looking forward to seeing him grow up into a powerful and no doubt stunning looking adult Basset Hound.

Maggie is responding well to the training

- -.P, Clayton, Greater Manchester (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Alex
The first time I met Maggie and her owners they explained that she would get very stressed when she went outside and would bark at absolutely everything - and they weren't wrong. By the end of the first session the improvement in her behaviour outside was really excellent. She responded really well to her communication collar and the correction we used. I was delighted!!

Estelle dealt with Aggression, Pulling, Recall

Very pleased with the training. Estelle was very easy to work with and I feel we achieved a lot during the first session. Estelle explained why Bruno was reacting to certain situations and how to correct this behaviour

Estelle dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall

I am really impressed with Estelle, her knowledge and understanding of dogs is excellent. Diesel is responding well to house training but will take longer with attentiveness/lead training

Sharon dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Other

Sharon spent two and a half hours with us on her first visit. Bryn noticeably changed his behaviour in that time (or was it ours!) Twenty four hours later and reinforcing what Sharon taught us, he already seems to be changing his ways. We've been given homework to do with Bryn until Sharon's next visit when Hopefully we'll all get an A*!

We had our first appointment with Jo a couple of days ago after seeking some help for our French Bulldog Napoleon. We had previously used the Australian Bark Busters team to successfully get Napoleon walking better on the leash, and so were relieved that the international guarantee could be used here in London. After recently arriving in London with us, Napoleon had started barking at every passing pedestrian, truck, squirrel, bird and especially other dogs. He'd also mounted our neighbour's dog which was pretty embarrassing. Jo came over as soon as possible which we really appreciated as we were having a tough time - almost immediately she could see what the problem was and started to give us practical actions we could take to minimise the stress on our dog and start improving his behaviour. We also did some training exercises with Napoleon inside and outside our flat. Jo is easy to talk to and obviously loves dogs of all shapes and sizes; by the end of the night it was like we were receiving advice from an old friend. Jo left us with written notes and a sense of relief that we would eventually be able to sort out Napoleon's issues in time. Of course it is early days and we haven't yet tried all of Jo's suggestions (some aids we ordered online are yet to arrive) but the first tip - which was to block Napoleon's view of the street until he is more settled - worked a treat (a few cardboard boxes across the bottom panes of glass and he hardly barked all day yesterday - a more permanent solution of frosting the glass is also underway). Jo will be available for follow up visits and mentioned that Napoleon definitely needs one, so watch this space! Would absolutely recommend the service to anybody with doggy difficulties.

- -.M, London (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Graham
Napoleon is a lovely French Bulldog who has travelled half way around the world with his owners. Moving home can be just as stressful for a dog as for its owners and in Napoleons case, he came from a quiet suburb and is now in the hustle and bustle of London. He is struggling to adjust to the new environment and the stress he is under means that he has become very noise sensitive and not behaving as he normally does when it comes to meeting dogs and people. There are lots of things that can be done to help a dog struggling in this way and he has very committed owners who are prepared to put their dog first and do all that is necessary to reduce his stress and get him settled into his new busy London lifestyle.

I cant believe the difference in Poppy after just one session. Kevin made the training fun and informative and Poppy was very responsive. Even my teenage Son enjoyed the training and said that it has made Poppy a more relaxed dog. Kevin helped us to stop her from barking at dogs passing her in our neighbourhood, something we thought we might not be able to cure. As poppy was a rescue she has done really well and we are very proud of her - Thank you Kevin for making Poppy a more relaxed and enjoyable dog, we shall continue with the exercises you have left us and would recommend your training to anyone who is having difficulties with their dog.

1st May 2014 - Alex Fraser

Alex dealt with Aggression, Pulling

Alex was professional and friendly, his love for dogs apparent from the start. Ellie our boarder collie responded to his firm yet patient training. He explained everything clearly, and his training instructions were easy to follow. Ellie is our third collie, but by far the most challenging . We found his training instructions logical, and saw a improvement very quickly.

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

Trainer note from Alex
Even experienced dog owners who have owned a number of dogs, often the same breed, will every once in a while take on a dog that proves to be a bit of a handful. Ellie was one such dog, however her owner really listened to what I had to say and has worked hard to address her behavioural issues. I am really pleased with how they have both done and am confident things will continue to get better.

Kevin made a big difference to Alfie's behaviour within a short time of being with us. Alfie is such a puller on the lead and this has been greatly helped by a collar bought from Bark Busters. Alfie (8month old Labrador x Springer Spaniel) has a wonderful temperament, but we just need to work on calming him down, Kevin gave us exercises to do this. Many thanks to Kevin.
