Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Angela dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity
Angela was fantastic. She explained things from the dogs point of view - some things I would never have thought about. She was training me, not the dogs! But did it in a calm , sensitive way - without making me feel silly or uncomfortable. Some of the techniques have made an immediate difference, others need more practice. I am looking forward to the next session. Thank you Angela.

Angela was amazing. She explained everything very clearly and was very knowledgeable. She demonstrated everything we needed to do with Poppy before asking us to have a go. Angela was extremely supportive and able to pinpoint where we were making mistakes and was able quite quickly to remedy these. I would not hesitate to recommend Angela as we found her skills ,knowledge and friendly open approach to be perfect

Found the initial video session very helpful along with the supporting documentation. Early days but have been trying to implement the guidance with some success. Looking forward to the in person sessions.

Angela Young is an excellent trainer giving really good tailor made advice to cater for the specific needs of my dogs . Angela has been working work with my two labradors with very different issues and is providing such good ongoing help. The elder Labrador being a rescue dog ( approximately 6 years old) has needed help with severe signs of anxiety and stress (whilst meeting both other dogs and humans), toileting issues and jumping up when visitors arrive whilst the other is a rather over enthusiastic teenager! Angela has been brilliant making training fun for both the labs and myself. Moreover I am also gaining in confidence with Angela demonstrating dog command techniques that are really working and making such a difference .It is such a positive and happy situation seeing both my dogs overall physical and mental well being drastically improving . Thank you Angela.

Firstly, thank you Angela. The session was Very welcoming and approachable. Angela was lovely especially when I got very overwhelmed during times in the session. She made me feel relaxed and at ease when setting instructions. Angela always backed her instructions up with theory and very secure subject knowledge. Lots of clear guidance and next steps.

We started training with our schnoodle pup paddy when he was 16weeks old (now 16 months old) he has developed into such a charming, whity, well behaved dog thanks to the help of Angela! I have done various other puppy classes in the past with other dogs and 6 weeks later nailed the sit and stay? Great key elements I agree but this time I wanted us to learn more and bark busters 1:1 training was perfect well worth the extra money! They really get to know your dog, there personality and needs to change behaviours and learn acts of daily living. Thank you to Angela for her continued support, training and expertise virtually and in person with Paddy during the pandemic she had such a positive and calming nature throughout. We are very grateful and will certainly keep her posted on his progress. We will keep working these coming months with everything she has taught us and hopefully it'll become second nature soon enough like the rest. We can't believe how quickly Paddy picks up Angela's corrections and techniques! Super pup Super teacher Super service! Only downside was the pandemic meaning some lessons were virtual for safety.

Angela dealt with Aggression, Pulling, Recall
I am so very pleased that I contacted Bark Busters. I had my first session with Angela last week. She was extremely helpful. She spent 2.5 hours listening to me and talking to me. She was calm and empathetic and did not judge me. She was able to contextualise very quickly the issues with Reggie, who is reactive to other male dogs, and give me logical explanations and good guidance. Angela was very articulate and "spot on" with her analysis. She was honest and open and it has really helped me to see that there are things that I must do so that Reggie does not feel has needs to protect me. I am so grateful. I know it's a long road ahead. I am 100% committed to the training. I love my boy with all my heart and I want to make this work for both of us. Thank you so much Angela and Bark Busters.

Angela dealt with Chewing, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall, Sibling rivalry, Toileting
Excellent session and some invaluable guidance and advice which we have already put in practice - start as you mean to go on. Changed diet, new commands and games and new toys to start with and a longer lead to get walking under control. My only dilemma was the length of the meeting - 3 hours. Loads to take in and not Angela’s issue but I have painful tennis elbow at minute and it’s uncomfortable to get comfy after a couple of hours at table. Looking forward to the follow up meeting though and it’s great that all the notes are sent to us to remind us and saved us making notes on the evening. Highly recommended

Angela dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up
Angela was brilliant explained exactly what was happening with our dog and the reasons behind it and how to deal with the issues we were having. Gave us the confidence to put into practice her training methods and we have seen a marked improvement in Bob’s behaviour over the last week.
