Graham dealt with Barking, Other
Jo is fantastic. She has a real understanding of dogs and explains everything in simple terms regarding our dogs behaviour re barking, snatching and holding items in his mouth, chasing our cats and attention seeking behaviour. Jo has really helped me gain an insight into what Ralph is thinking and helps me when training with the excellent guide sheets Jo has provided as back up to all the she advice gives. She is a star and I would recommend her readily to others.
Trainer note from Graham
Ralph is a very happy Cavalier King Charles spaniel who I first saw at 5 months old. He was getting into all sorts of mischief as young dogs do and was severely testing the patience of his owner with his determined chasing of the family cats. He just saw everything as a game and wanted to either be chasing or to be chased. If his owners wouldn't pay attention he would make sure they did by finding something to grab and running around with it. His owners have worked with Ralph so that he listens to them and he can now live alongside the cats (one even likes him now). His owners have taught him to drop it and leave it where he knows that if he does he gets something better and he now gets to play other much more fun games with them.

Kevin dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
Couldn`t be more pleased with the session with Kevin.We used Bark Busters 18 years ago in Australia and managed to sort out so many problems with our dogs at the time.
We are confident that the improved techniques shown to us today by Kevin will produce huge improvements in our handling of our dog.

Kevin dealt with Aggression, Puppy management
Would highly recommend to anyone who is concerned about their dog. We have two young children with many visiting friends and needed to be able to stop our dog biting otherwise we would have to re home him. Kevin stopped him within 10 minutes with no aggression or treats. Kevin also gave us training on lead walking and how to teach him to come. Results on the day were amazing, We are continuing the training and hope our headstrong dog continues to respond.

Lee dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling
Where do I start?? I am completely overwhelmed by the transformation of my 11 month old German shepherd pup. After the first session I have a different dog! Lee taught me how to regain control in such a short space of time. The jumping up, mouthing, barking and running at doors has disappeared over night. My pup is relaxed and stress free now. Lee you are a magician.

Lee dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Training was very good, with Lee taking us through each problem area, giving us routines and methods which have removed or are reducing those problems.
Lee has been very prompt both in his visit and responding to calls.
18th July 2014 - Lynn Prentice
Lynn dealt with Hyperactivity, Pulling
We came to Lynn as Chester was impossible to walk on the lead, we tried eveything and eventually put up with using two differnt types of harness and using them like reigns on a horse! He would also shake and cry with excitement when he knew he was going for a walk and then bark all the way down the road (not great at 6am!).
Lyn came round and we had long chat about Chester and us and she immediately was able to give us pointers on where we were going wrong. Its only been 2 weeks and Chester is a different dog to walk and about the home. I am confident that in time even my 11 year old will be able to hold him on the lead which is something I never thought would be possible. Thanks Lynn

Estelle dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling
It's only been a week since seeing Estelle but already we can see some improvement in Shae. She seems much calmer and doesn't pull as much as she used to. Still a way to go but at least Estelle has given us hope and we can start to see light at the end of what we thought an extremely long tunnel.
12th July 2014 - Lynn Prentice
Lynn dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
Our experience with Lynn has been positive. Both of our dogs have improved with the training we were shown. Our girl has responded very well, whereas our boy has proved to be more difficult. There has been a dramatic improvement when going for walks, and it is a pleaure now without the incessant pulling. Still having problems with barking outside. Around the house is much improved and visitors have commented about how quiet they are now. Lynn responded quickly to our request for some refresher training. Training lapsed when we left the dogs while we were away on holiday, but is now back on track.

Lee dealt with Barking, Jumping up
Such a simple solution but very effect. It has changed our lives completely that we can now leave lulu on her own knowing she will not bark and upset our neighbours.

Kevin dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall
Fantastic! instant results. everything was explained to us and the reasons why. we were then shown how it works in practice, and then taught how to do it ourselves. my mother is now feeling really confident and relaxed with George. it is nice to have it all written down to refer to and to know that kevin is at the end of the phone if needed. we are both very happy! thank you so much!

Kevin dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Can not believe the difference one days training has made and we are continuing this following Kevin's instructions. My girls have been aggressive as they are frightened, pulled on the lead, barked at people and dogs as they walked passed and jumped up at me. It's early days but the response is remarkable. Beach test to come, but I feel so much more confident that they will mix well and be able to control them.

Kevin dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety, Sibling rivalry
Kevin came to help us with the issues that my two dogs had and I told him my dream was to walk both my dogs down the beach with all the others dogs and not need to worry. I didnt think this was going to be possible but Kevin worked with them both and they responded really well. We even managed to walk them both down the beach off lead with all the other dogs and they loved it.
I would recommend Kevin to help train your dogs. His way of training works very quickly.
I also did the Covered for life guarentee so that I can contact him if I have anymore concerns throughout their lifes.
