Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Emma demonstrates remarkable expertise in dog training. She has provided clear instructions and tailored the training sessions to meet the unique needs of Harley. One of the standout aspects of Emma's training is her personalized approach. She took the time to understand Harley's specific issues and has tailored the sessions to address these effectively. The individualized attention ensured that we are seeing noticeable improvements quickly. I highly recommend Emma to anyone seeking a professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate dog trainer. Her dedication and expertise have made a profound difference so far and we look forward to working with her on further sessions to ensure we have a happy dog and happy pawents.

Very good initial session. Had some instant results but recognise we have a way to go!!

Emma was absolutely brilliant after the first 3 hour lesson my dog was totally transformed. Emma came again today to give me lead training & within half an hour Scout was walking to heel. There's still a long way to go but with Emma's help I'm 100% sure we will get there. I can highly recommend her.

Great listener, very helpful and supportive

Emma came for our first training session. The knowledge she has got about dogs is exceptional, the whole experience from her advice given to putting it into practice exceeded my expectations, her explanations as to why my Rosie behaves like she does made total sense. Emma gave great advice not just with the reason she was here for but in all areas. She opened my eyes and made me realise that other issues are connected with the main issue. At the end of the session there were obvious improvements. Thank you Emma I can now see a light at the end of the tunnel. Look forward to the next one x

Emma really knows her stuff and was so helpful with getting Jake to stop barking at the vacuum cleaner and hairdryer. She was very knowledgeable about all things dog related and gave us useful advice to improve our behaviour around Jake so that he is now less anxious and stressed. We asked her to return to help with ‘door guarding’ and this has also improved. In general Jake is now much more relaxed and we are really pleased that Emma came and helped us

I have a reactive dog and I was unable to walk her or get her to behave inside the house. I tried treats, clickers etc... nothing seemed to work. Once we decide to have Emma meet my dog instantly my dog was behaving in the house and Emma helped me become a better owner for my dog. Eventually we merged outside where my dog can now go face to face with a family members dog and not react! We're slowly progressing to walk in the streets and at the moment we need to walk on the opposite side of the road to a dog. But this is major progress where as before my dog couldn't even be in site of another dog! I highly recommend as Emma did not judge me for adopting a reactive dog from dogs trust at a young age and unexperienced. Emma made me and my partner feel like we can change my dogs life for the better and take control.

I could not be happier with our first session with Emma. We have recently adopted two very nervous and very stressful pups from a Romanian rescue centre. They are extremely reactive to any noise or situation they are not used to either with barking or chewing of furniture and we are currently unable to take them outside the house because of this. Emma was able to identify all their needs from picking the right diet to demonstrating passive leadership and exploring exercise options. I understand we have a long way to go to help our pups but the techniques and advice we received and have implemented so far has shown results in the right direction. Emma was even able to sit in the same room with them while instructing myself on how to act and respond. We have not had guests in the house in the 3 months since adoption. I am now very hopeful that we may eventually reach a stress free time for our dogs and for them not to be so nervous all the time. I am very appreciative of the help and advice given thus far and look forward to working more with Emma in the near future.

Emma was lovely she gave us a lot of helpful information

Toby is a rescue who joined us two months before Emma visited. We were really struggling with his barking and constant grabbing at my clothing. We had tried all sorts of things that just didn’t work. Emma took the time to listen to us and our concerns, she observed his (and our) behaviour and talked through the issues. Emma suggested we looked at Toby’s food to see if it was linked to his behaviour; this has led to me keeping a diary to see if there is any link. We practiced the bah technique during the visit and saw immediate results. Just one week after Emma’s first visit, Toby’s grabbing has virtually stopped. His barking is still a work in progress but is significantly reduced. I feel I have a far better understanding of dogs and am working on becoming the leader (I have to admit I thought I already was but can see now how wrong I was!). We still have our challenges and a way to go but the improvement so far is beyond all our expectations.

Clear instructions and very supportive, enabling us to feel reassured that our dog could learn to enjoy travelling in a car.

Emma came to our house on 12th November for our first session with Dusty our 2 year old Romanian rescue. Dusty has been very very scared of cars and new people and would not go on walks due to this. Emma has shown us ways to get dusty walking and to reduce his stress whilst out and after 1 visit we managed to get Dusty walking the following day and this was all through our tone of voice and body language and the difference in dusty already is amazing!! I highly recommend Emma to anyone struggling with their dog training.
