Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Lynn was brilliant from the moment she walked in the house to meet Larry, she began training. I was very stressed to start with and nerve but Lynn put me at total ease. I didn't enjoy walking Larry as he pulled, bark and went mad when he saw another dog, even when the door bell rang I use to have to run to shut a door behind me.The work I have to do with Larry has worked wonders and it's only been the first full day and I am feeling very positive on the continuing work we have to do. I would recommend Lynn 100% very friendly and very honest , looking forward to our next meeting

Estelle gave us a brilliant insight into our dogs behaviour. We had no idea we were spoiling her with attention and treats so much. We saw a change in the dog the same evening as we were able to watch tv without being bothered all the time. We've still got some points to work on but it was well worth the money and I'm looking forward I having a well trained dog!

We were at the end of our tether with Ernie. He had bitten all the members of the family and seemed to show random acts of aggression and we were all set to not have him anymore but as a last resort we opted to see if a dog trainer could help. On reading the excellent reviews on Barkbusters we got in contact and Lynn came round on the same day. The moment Lynn saw Ernie she immediately saw that he was a very nervous dog. She then talked to us for a good while discussing Ernies history from where we got him and what we wanted in regard to Ernie's training. Lynn stayed with us for over 3 hours and by then we had the ground rules on how to 1. Stop Ernie barking constantly 2. Stop Ernie climbing on the furniture 3. Stop Ernie pulling on his lead 4. Make Ernie walk behind us on his lead 5. Make Ernie Come, Sit and Stay on Command and many other things Lynn taught us how to talk to a dog and what to watch in regard to their body language. She showed us how to use the tone of our voices rather than treat bribes to get our dog to do what we wanted. We immediately saw a massive change in Ernie form that very first night he was no longer barking

Sharon was really attentive to mine and Willow's needs. From the 3 hours Sharon spent with us as I felt l had learnt a lot and got to understand Willow's behaviour a lot more. After my first session I felt a lot more in control of Willow and now can look forward to the future and Willows progress.

I was absolutely thrilled with Lynn Prentice training. Thank you so very very much. I loved the whole experience, being told WHY they barked (Protecting the house and me) which made sense, and therefore how to 'de-stress them'. They improved almost immediately. I also enjoyed the whole training format, which makes complete sense. Now that I have the simple tools of how to handle the puppies, I am finding them much easier to manage. It has also given me the enthusiasm to train them. They are responding really well. Lynn's strong and disciplined attiude helped enormously. Mothers should get the same training!!

Both my husband and I was extremely happy with the training we received from Kevin. Toby responded very quickly and was almost a different dog in under 24 hours. The techniques we were given was very easy to understand and to put into practice. We would recommend Bark Busters to anyone who need's guidance with there canine friend. Kevin was very friendly and we would welcome him back into our home when he's next in the area.

Patience and understanding was given to both us and our Rusty. We found Lynn to be very clear and precise with the training each excersize and command were explained and handled in a professional way.

Really enjoyed meeting with Neil. Very interesting and I learned a lot.

Brilliant day Jo was with us for 5 hours and got the whole family involved. We had lots of fun & learnt lots and lots, have been putting what we learnt into practice and it has really helped. Using the “watch” technique has really helped with Hendrix’s fear and aggression towards Chloe. Chloe is improving daily and family life is much improved. Now that the issue of the incorrect e-mail address has been sorted out the follow up help has been really good too. Thanks Jo we are all looking forward to the next session.

Sharon was very knowledgeable about the behavioural problems which Eddie has and which training techniques to use. The training techniques are straight forward to follow and dog friendly which I wanted. I was also very impressed that Eddie was responding to the training straight away. Thanks Sharon

Excellent! So helpful, reassuring and nothing was too much trouble. I've learnt so much already, my dogs have responded very well and we are well on the way to being a happy family again!

Cosmo is a fun loving little boy and we like to encourage his curiosity and playful nature, so we didn't want an oppressive training which would knock the stuffing out of him. As he is a SBT, however, it is important for us to be in control as sadly SBTs have a poor and unjust reputation. Alex explained a few simple techniques and taught us the way to make Cosmo see us as in charge and not himself!!! This was a break through and something which made complete sense to us. This allowed us to take the training on board easily and it felt intuitive once we started. Alex himself is a star, he spent time understanding Cosmo and delivered training which he thought Cosmo would understand and respond to. It didn't feel like it was "one training fits all". After only 2 visits we and Alex feel Cosmo has come on leaps and bounds but let's admit it now, it's John and I who have come on leaps and bounds really. We are now the pack leaders Cosmo needs so he can enjoy life understanding John and I are in control. I wonder if it will work on John too :o
