Dog Training & Behavioral Therapist

What dog owners are saying about us

I've been using Bark Busters Angela for over 6 months, my pup has had many issues and a tough start to life, but between Angela and my dog walker Simon she has turned out to be an amazing dog, so happy and intelligent. It took one lesson for Angela to cut out many issues, 6 months later she's a completely new dog, we still have issues but with the start she had its no surprise. Angela has taught me to be patient and listen to my dog and she responds to a good strong leadership which Angela is fantastic at explaining, I couldn't recommend her highly enough she has been an amazing tutor and Socx loves her visits and cuddles.D.O., Preston, Lancashire (Testimonial)3rd July 2016

Angela was very thorough in covering the problems that Monty is having and made both me and Monty feel comfortable throughout our first appointment. Angela gave me more insight into Monty's world and why he behaves the way he does and has given me a good starting point with the training to move forward from (plus plenty of other tips to stop boredom) I'm looking forward to the training and future appointments. I would highly recommend Angela to anyone who's having problems with their dogs, she's a top trainer/dog psychologist with a very warm and welcoming personility.S.C., Blackpool, Lancashire (Testimonial)5th April 2016

This is our 2nd meeting with Angela and it has been great. Ben is a HUGE and very powerful Boarboel (Google it!) and he is doing great. Changing to raw food is a great idea too. Angela will be able to guide you through everything and give you guidance in areas you probably hadn't even thought of. Get in touch with Angela if you need any sort of help with your dog.M.C., Preston, Lancashire (Testimonial)5th December 2015

Angela should work for Hogwarts, not Bark Busters! After her initial visit, she has turned a household of mayhem and near-divorce into an oasis of calm and well-behaved dogs. Angela came to help us with 4 year-old shih-tzu Lola and our recently adopted 7 month-old shih-tzu pup Rosie. Lola was our biggest concern, because ever since we adopted her at 14 months, she has shown horrendous nervous aggression on the lead, along with moderate separation anxiety. We had previously tried other dog training, which despite our best efforts made had no impact on Lola's problem behaviours. We don't want Rosie picking up the same response behaviours, so Bark Busters was our last hope. It's now 3 days since Angela left us with our homework, after an incredibly helpful, informative and patient consultation. Already, Lola settles down and no longer follows me from room to room. On the lead, she no longer pulls and I have her full attention...most of the time. She has had had 2 episodes of nervous, aggressive barking at another dog while out walking, BUT it has passed and she has calmed down far more quickly than ever before. Obviously, this is a work in progress and won't change overnight. However, Angela's techniques are already having a positive impact and the confidence this gives us motivates us to keep moving forward. It was my husband and I who needed re-educating in the first instance, because we had been led by Lola rather than the other way around. Now the hierarchy is changing and she seems much happier. Rosie is also responding well and is keen to please, especially now that her 'big sister' is setting a good example for her to follow. We can't thank Angela enough. If you are considering Bark Busters, don't hesitate: it is a fantastic training system, tailored to you and your dog's specific needs, and worth every single penny.J.M., Blackpool, Lancashire (Testimonial)20th August 2015

We contacted Bark Busters because our 1 year old Cocker Spaniel Khaleesi was becoming aggressive towards other dogs and was barking whenever someone came to the house. Angela came and was extremely helpful, we told her the problems we were having and she explained why our dog was behaving the way she was and showed us ways to stop her behaving this way. Angela was very knowledgeable and very good with Khaleesi, who responded very quickly to the training. Since Angela left we have been continuing with the training and are very happy with the results so far, Khaleesi has not showed any aggression towards any dogs since and is a lot better behaved. There is still some work to be done but I'm sure we will get there with Angela's help. We would highly recommend Bark Busters with anyone having problems with their dogs, especially Angela Young.J.H., waterloo, Merseyside (Testimonial)14th July 2015
