Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Right from the start Ben filled me with confidence he is so knowledgeable and friendly. The first session lasted nearly 4 hours, we did some lessons in the house and then went out for a walk where there were quite a few dogs, as we entered the park my reactive dog barked and growled at a dog leaving, Ben immediately took control and let her know this was definitely not acceptable, for the rest of our time he was teaching me as well as Maya how to behave correctly. We have put this training into practice every day since his visit and I am most definitely seeing improvement in her behaviour. He has given me the confidence to take her out and not avoid other dogs at all costs.

Ben arrived and filled the room .He is tall and imposing and not what I expected . But wow does he understand dogs. I have 2 Daschunds and they are fearless and in control in their own home so they were as surprised as I was when he took control of them and they immediately responded. His technique almost had me sitting on command. After an hour my wife and I were given coping skills that have proven invaluable. I am very impressed and I am not someone who is impressed easily. It was a pleasure to work with him and for him to share his skills and compassion with us. The dogs were impressed as well. I highly recommend him and have to friends with dogs.

Ben dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Puppy management
Ben was really friendly and spent a good amount of time explaining the theory before meeting our puppies. The lesson itself was over 3.5hrs so excellent value for money so far. The methods taught made an immediate improvement in behaviour - it was quite amazing! And we have lots to work on now and are reassured we can call back on Ben when needed.

Ben dealt with Barking, Pulling
Before Ben came to us, Hugo, an otherwise lovely dog, would bark incessantly, making it impossible to work from home, or take him anywhere in the car. We thought we'd tried everything, friendly advice from neighbours, YouTube videos, endless searching the internet for solutions but nothing worked. In the first session, Ben showed us practical techniques to quieten Hugo. We couldn't believe it, but the results were almost immediate. One week on and we now have a quiet household! Highly recommend.

During Lockdown Presley has started Barking a lot more. During the short period of time we have been training him he has improved a great deal.

I was having various issues with our eight month old puppy. She was showing signs of aggression on people coming into the house cause and continuously pulling and biting at her lead whilst on walks. Jumping and pulling at passing vehicles, people et cetera. On arrival of Ben my local trainer who was allocated to come and see us. He ran through various techniques and found one is the best suited us and our dog. And I am pleased to say that to date we are controlling the aggression in the house within minutes of an arrival and the walking has improved 100+ percent. Still a lot of work to do and but as long as we stick to the system that Ben showed us I am sure not only would we be better equipped and trained for our dog, Harley will have a more interactive life with us and everyone outside of our family. I cannot fault the training method that we were taught as it is already paying dividends after the first 48 hours. Thank you Buck and thank you Ben. It is a continued process over 12 months and we know that you are there as soon as we ask for you. Thank you again

Ben dealt with Barking, Pulling
The training was interesting and informative. It made us look at how we are interacting with our dog. It was definitely worth it. Our dog seems conscious of our change of approach because he keeps looking at us when we are bringing him in line and does appear to want to please us. He is improving on the lead although he regresses if he gets frightened. Generally he does seem a bit calmer near traffic. We are both more focused on the dog when we have him on the lead. He does respond more most of the time but will occasionally get excited when he sees a particular dog he likes. He also looks at us and cries when he wants us to play as opposed to barking at us.

It was great to be able to discuss things in our home visit and get such good advice. I had tried “zoom†training previously with another trainer but this is soo much better. Fab - thank you, just need to keep putting the advice into practice.

Ben dealt with Aggression, Barking, Recall
Ben was very professionally and explained my dogs training needs in simple terms which made it easier for us to understand. The training package was fully explained. Ben spent over 4 hours with us on our first session. The session was spent inside our home and outside in our local field. This proved extremely helpful and allowed us to identify the changes in our dog's behaviour from being indoors to outdoors. I would highly recommend Ben and Barkbusters.
