Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

26th August 2025 - Alex Fraser

Alex dealt with Aggression, Barking, Other

Very professional, very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Addressed all our concerns and we are very pleased with the results so far. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs help with Thier dog.

- H.A, Mossley (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Alex

Over the past few years there definitely been an increase in the number of home dog trainers and I think it is so important that customers should do their research to find the right trainer for them. They need to be able to put the owner at ease and ensure they know what to do to ensure their dogs listen better and if necessary, worry less. I always enjoy working with the owners as much as I enjoy working with their dogs. And I have already had feedback to say that they have already seen massive improvements in the way she is behaving and she is far more relaxed when they have guests.

An amazing trainer, with incredible knowledge. The idea of training was somewhat intimidating as we had never experienced it before but Alex made us all feel at ease, the dogs included. I think they've found their new favourite person. Thanks Alex!

Alex was great with Iggy who responded well and quickly and enjoyed his lessons. Alex is extremely knowledgeable and made us understand the world from a dogs perspective which was really beneficial

Alex dealt with Separation anxiety

Alex was great, put us both at ease and gave us clear instructions on how we can have short wins and long term wins. Importantly he reassured us that what we had done up until this point was good, and long term if we work hard we will have a great dog.

- R.V, Stockport (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Alex

Another lovely puppy and 2 more happy owners. They had both worked really hard since taking their puppy home, but they really wanted to know if they were getting things right. There is so much information on line, but wherever you read, someone erase will say something different. I have used the same training techniques I was taught over 10 years ago and they have always achieved the desired results.

Only had Alex for one visit and he was very professional and friendly, my chihuahua buddy took to him straightaway, he has lots of issues and thinks he is the boss and protector, The training I have been left to do with buddy is going well, Alex has messaged me to see how buddy is doing and he can be contacted any time for support. I do believe by the time buddy's training has finished buddy will be a happier and more friendly little dog. After only one visit I would definitely recommend Alex and barkbusters.

Trainer note from Alex

I have met a lot of excitable smaller dogs over the past 11 years and in the main we tend to make a difference in the way the dog listens and behaves by the end of the initial session. Buddy certainly didn’t disappoint. Although he had form for running after people and barking at them when they tried to leave his home, he was on best behaviour for the entire session and within a couple of hours we became good friends. Most customers will get some relatively quick win’s following the initial session, but some behavioural issues can take a little longer to fix or improves. I’m looking forward to catching up with buddy in a few weeks time to build on his training.

Alex dealt with Puppy management

Met with Alex and we went through several exercises together with my Golden Retriever puppy, Penny. She responded well and I'll continue to practice with her until our next visit from Alex. Alex explained things clearly before then going through the exercises to show me how it's done, before I then had a go myself. The initial lesson was very hands on which worked perfectly and I'm looking forward to seeing Alex again so we can continue training Penny. Alex is clearly knowledgable and I've got full confidence in his abilities to train Penny with me. The exercises we did most definitely instilled more confidence in me too.

- A.M, Macclesfield (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Alex

I love working with puppies. Partly because I can watch them grow up to be well behaved dogs and partly, because I am able to go home after a couple of hours to my 2 older dogs, unlike their owner who lives with them full time. As I have said before, there really is no quick fix with a puppy. For me they are puppies until about 6 months old. Then they enter their teenage phase, but by 12 - 18 months they will be a well behaved adult if we get things right. Penny was certainly full of energy, but after just over 2 hours she was absolutely shattered and she was fast asleep when I left. Look forward to catching up with Penny and her family in a few weeks

Alex dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall, Other

Alex was so reassuring and addressed all our concerns in an easy and very effective professional way. Was worth the money and time , even though we are still working on some issues. Everything was done efficiently without long winded ‘round the houses’ explanations, which only overload your brain and memory. The training advice was emailed quickly and is very useful and easy to understand…. Along with the reasons Holly acts like she does. We would recommend the training/therapy to anyone.

Alex dealt with Aggression, Barking

I hadn't believed that I would see such a change in my dog! Milly had always been a challenge, would not obey commands. Tried to "muscle in" on mealtimes stood watching while prepared veg for a meal.Three days into our training she will sit outside the kitchen area while I chop food. Milly goes into her cage and lies down without any commands to do so. Her on lead walking has improved but we have a long way to go. We repeat all the exercises daily and are thrilled with her improvement.

Alex dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Separation anxiety

Great lesson with Alex. He managed to understand Max´s needs and issues almost instantly, and also adapted the lesson to his most immediate needs. The techniques that were used were clear, effective and tailored to Max. The main issues that we discussed were front door anxiety, and also over excitement when socialising. Already been one week reinforcing these, and we are seeing progress. I feel so much more relaxed knowing that we have this support. Would highly recommend Alex and Bark Busters.

Very good, taught me lots of new techniques very happy with this service

- K.K, Rochdale (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Alex
I love sessions with multiple dogs as they make me think more. Usually the owner thinks they have identified the dog that needs the most training, but more often than not, we need to focus on one of them other dogs. Great session! Started off with 3 excitable and slightly anxious dogs who were doing a lot of running around and a lot of barking. Finished with 3 calmer dogs who were very tired and who were all settled on the rug on the floor.

Alex dealt with Pulling

Rosie made positive progress on the day

- D.T, Manchester (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Alex
Rosie is a lovely dog, but she used to get extremely excited when people entered her home and she used to pull her owner all over the place when she went for a walk. By the end of the initial session, she was listening much better to her owner and her heel work had massively improved. Can’t wait to catch up with them both soon.
