Alex dealt with Aggression, Recall, Separation anxiety

Alex was brilliant with my chihuahua Samson. His training is very professional and instructions thorough and easy to follow. Not only for his doggie customer but my son and I too. Nothing is rushed and his love of dogs and his job training them is heartwarming. We all learnt so much and now count Alex as a friend who’s welcome here any time. Thanks Alex👍

Trainer note from Alex

I have loved working with Samson and his family. The first time I met Samson he was very anxious when I entered his home and initially he struggled to settle every time I stood up to walk around. But by the end of the first session he was so much calmer. I caught up with them all last week and he was like a different dog. Very little barking when I entered their home and he was a lot more settled the entire time I was with them.

Alex kept in contact us he let us know when he was on his way and when he arrived. so we had time to put Shadow in a different room so he could meet her before training started. I would highly recommend him It was his 1st visit he helped Shadow how to learn and wait whilst we was in the kitchen at the door whilst we pretended to chop food up with a tasty sausage :) Helped with a few issues we are having with a young pup and we learnt a lot as well now to practice it :) Looking forward to to the next visits Thanks Alex we got time to relax after your visit as Shadow was very worn out

It was lovely meeting Alex, after our first meeting we felt very confident that we can help our loving Tilly. Alex was great & we would certainly recommend him to other worried dog owners. We are looking forward to working more with Alex forward the foreseeable future.

Alex dealt with Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling

Alex is helping our Vizsla puppy (Daisy) get up to speed with her training. Daisy is very high energy and rules the roost at home! Working with Alex, Daisy is already improving and beginning to listen more. She’s responding well to his methods and with a few more sessions, I think Daisy is going to be brilliant. I’d really recommend Alex, he’s give us help & sound advice with her food, leads, sleep, alongside all the work he’s doing with her training. He’s very knowledgeable and Daisy actually listens to his methods - which is a big relief (as we have had previous trainers that weren’t able to help with Daisy) Thanks Alex, looking forward to seeing our girl improve even more :)

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.

Alex dealt with Barking, Jumping up

Alex was amazing from start to finish! He catered exactly to my dogs needs through taking time to understand both my dog and myself. I have noticed massive changes to my dog and his behaviours for the better. Can’t recommend Alex enough!

I always enjoy working with the owners as much as I enjoy working with their dogs. Over the past 11 years I have definitely come to realise that home dog training really is training the owner who in turn will train her dog(s). Really enjoyed this session and both the owner and their dog did so well.

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.

- Y.P, Manchester (Testimonial)

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.
