Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

9th August 2021 - Alex Fraser

Alex dealt with Barking, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall

As Alfie is our first ever dog, I felt I needed training and Alex made me feel at ease and not at all stupid. He gave me simple and easy to follow instructions. One month down the line Alfie is getting a lot better (bar his 6 month adolescent tantrums when he doesn't want to listen on occasions lol). More importantly Alfie is at ease with Alex. I would recommend Alex

Trainer note from Alex
It’s been a year of puppies - some first time puppy owners, some experienced dog owners, but regardless of experience, all puppies can have their challenges. We are never going to fully train a puppy or its owner on one session, but with ongoing support we can make them the best version of them selves which is extremely rewarding!

Trainer note from Alex
I really enjoyed this session and I was delighted with how well behave Max was both inside and on his walk. Sometimes it is just a matter of fine tuning the owners skills. Keep up the good work!!

Alex dealt with Jumping up, Puppy management, Separation anxiety

Alex is absolutely brilliant! He's was so helpful and clear and Maggie absolutely loved him. He taught us so much and the skills we've learnt are already starting to work on Maggie just a day later. We would 100% recommend him to any dog owner, he's great

Trainer note from Alex
I’ve met a lot of puppies over the past 12 months ranging from 8 weeks to 8 months. I really enjoy working with puppies, but they are not always easy, and not for the faint hearted!! But with time, effort and consistency, we always get results in the end. Maggie did really well as I’m confident she will grow up to be a well behaved adult.

- -.K, Manchester, Greater Manchester (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Alex
Its often easier for me to make a dog listen as they haven’t spent time training me, but they have spent time training their owners. The session went really well and I can’t wait to catch up with them all soon

Alex dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling

The session was great! I must admit, I had been a little apprehensive - after a year of shielding and a very clingy dog, I wasn't sure what to expect. Alex put us at ease straight away, and was supportive and informative. Betty responded really well (once she got over her initial grumble!), and we have lots of useful info to take away and be practicing. We wanted to help Betty be the best she could be, and we're certainly getting there (she's a super clever dog, it was us that needed training!). Would definitely recommend to others!

Alex dealt with Aggression

I contacted Alex by phone, dog training was very new to me and wasn't even really sure what I was asking for.. from the moment Alex answered the phone, he explained things in a way I could understand and also made me feel alot calmer about everything. My dog got bitten by another dog in the park and since then has turned aggressive towards other animals. I was so worried about what to do for the best as everything I had tried failed. Alex came to my house and was great with my dog.. by he taught me so many things I was unaware of, and helped me learn to handle situations differently.. we have only had our first 1 hour training session and I am already noticing such a big difference in him! I would recommend Alex 100%.

Alex dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling, Separation anxiety

My dogs are adult. They had several issues as hyperactivity, separation anxiety, aggressive behaviour/pulling during our walks.I never considered to ask a trainer for an help. Alex was very friendly and attentive. My dogs loved him at the first sight! On our first lesson I was impressed. My dogs responded very well within minutes. They started to listen to me and they stop pulling me during our walks. I' m keep on doing the exercises suggested by my trainer. I can see little improvement day by day. I definitely recommend  this service!

Trainer note from Alex
Even those customers who tell me their dog is not the smartest tend to have a different opinion by the end of the initial session and realise that the dog has been training them rather than the other way round. My job is definitely people training, not dog training.

Trainer note from Alex
I honestly didn’t think we would achieve what we did on the first session following the the initial phone call with the customer. The session went really really well and I’ve had feedback since that his sister (who is nervous and barks at people entering her home) has been so much calmer and has allowed people to stroke her which is amazing. The issues they have whilst out on walks will generally take longer to improve than issues within the home, but I am really looking forward to catching up with them all to see how they are all doing. Keep up the good work!

Alex dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall

Three hours well spent! We got in touch with Alex for our six month old working cocker spaniel puppy Oti. Alex was great, he listened to our concerns, really got to understand us all and gave us simple and effective methods to try out. We covered house manners, lead walking, recall and more in the first session and we could see improvements straight away. We've also been given lots of extra info so we can keep up all the training. Cannot recommend enough - Thank you so much Alex!

Trainer note from Alex
Another great session and very happy owners! It’s amazing what can be taught in such a small time period.

12th May 2021 - Alex Fraser

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

Before our first meet with Alex, it's safe to say, as “parents”, we were both nervous! We'd experienced behavioural issues with both of our miniature Daxies for some time and feared it was a case of not being able to teach an old dog new tricks. Despite our initial reservations, Alex immediately put us all at ease. We were given lots of very helpful information on how our attitudes and behaviours were affecting our pets and how to deal with them appropriately when they would respond to stimuli. Highly, highly recommend. Relaxed yet informative session and we saw a difference within a few hours...Now just a case of keeping up our end of the bargain, with Alex on hand if we need further assistance and support. Don't do what I did and put it off for yonks; it'll make your life so so much easier! I'm looking forward to implementing the techniques and continuing to see improvements.

Trainer note from Alex
Dog parents love their dogs, and it wasn’t until I had been doing this job for a number of years that I was made aware that some customers were really worried about me visiting them. There is honestly nothing to worry about. I just want to help all owners make their dogs the best they can be me I certainly never pass any judgement. This session exceeded my expectations and I was delighted with how well both dogs did. Can’t wait to catch up with them all soon!
