Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

I have just had Emma for our follow up visit and covered front door work and walking on the lead. Larry had been spooked and was refusing to walk on the lead. After some work in the garden and some habit breaking exercises we were out on the street doing a short controlled walk. It was such a relief to see Larry being confident again and his behaviour has calmed down instantly. So happy that we are working with Emma, she is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the welfare and training of dogs.

Absolutely Amazing Emma is an excellent trainer, she explains everything clearly and then demonstrates. I could not believe the progress my dogs have made so soon. I would definitely recommend this service. Thanks Emma

I have to try to not sing Emma's praises prematurely, but after 3 hours this afternoon with my rescue 2 year old border collie, Drew will now not only go near the car (after what seemed to be a deep set terror of a car that he might have to get into), but will actually jump into the boot on a simple command, and then he sits there looking extremely proud of himself! He will also sit on command, but that pales into insignificance compared to getting in the car. Emma explained dog psychology to me which I have to say was completely the opposite to everything I had been told previously, (I work in IT and consider myself to be a very logical minded person) and amazingly although everything I had been told before made logical sense, the exact opposite, that Emma explained, also made perfectly logical sense. That in itself has amazed me, as opposite theories shouldn't both make sense at all, but this time they do and I am amazed and so proud of my Drew after such a short time that I shall follow her teachings to the letter! Also, she is a very nice lady with what was obviously a great deal of experience and knowledge, and to achieve these results in a single session is frankly mind-blowing. I, like I am sure most people, thought the price was high, but at less than £20 a month for the year, and the difference it has/will make to both my life and to Drew's, it is the best money I have spent in my short life being a dog owner. As you can probably tell, I can't sing Emma's praises enough.... Thanks Emma

I am really pleased with the training after one visit I am happy, Rubie would constantly be playing around my feed with her toys scratching my furniture , wow great result she doesn't do this anymore. Rubie would also jump up visitors this has changed also, can't wait for my next session great work Emma.

The training was really good we are so pleased

Emma has been fantastic! After our second session with her just two days ago, we have just taken Poppy on a new route and have walked past cats, dogs and people with scary bags and umbrellas without incident and without pulling. This was something we could hardly imagine just two weeks ago when Poppy was leading our pack. Emma listened to everything we had to say and spent all the time we needed talking through the issues and showing us what to do. Emma's methods worked right from day one and made lots of sense. We still have some practicing to do but we are 100% confident that we will succeed.

Excellent! Received our first session with immediate results. Emma explained excellently & was most helpful. Scooby has calmed down considerably Still work to do but thankful for Emma's help. Highly recommend

Advice given by Emma was invaluable. Luna is a 2 year old German shepherd. She was so hyperactive, demanding attention and barking when the door bell went or visitors came. She has improved so much in the last few days. She is so much calmer and happier she's like a different dog. I can't recommend Emma enough. Cost may seem steep but when you see the difference Emma makes to your dog and you it's worth every penny.

Emma came to my home a week ago to help me with my puppy Cavapoo,Teddy. I was feeling a little out of water with what I should be doing to train Teddy in general but also tackle his barking, nipping and the separation anxiety, which was getting a little out of hand. I feel like it's been a month considering the difference a week has made. Just having confidence to know you're doing the right thing and that it takes time is so reassuring and the difference already is remarkable!

Emma was extremely patient and gave excellent advice on our new puppy, Dave. The commands she taught us had quick results and left us with more confidence in training a puppy. We look forward to working more with Emma as Dave's training continues. She took away the "scariness" of having a puppy!

Emma was lovely, very encouraging and supportive. All the advice and information was very useful. I learned a lot and now feel more equipped to deal with Normans issues.

We needed help and advice on training for our dog and chose Bark Busters after searching for a local trainer in our area. Thankfully we found Emma who was very understanding about our concerns. She explained thoroughly and professionally how she would be able to help us. By the end of our lesson, Dexter was responding really well, much to our surprise. We are most impressed with Emma and her training methods and we hope that we will be able to do our part to continue with Dexter's progress. What she did make us realise was that Dexter had done a very good job of training us, which, when explained to us, made really good sense. Thank you very much Emma.
