A very enjoyable and informative few hours spent with Kevin.Lady has responded already to the training given and hopefully will go from strength.

Would have no problem in recommending Bark Busters!!

I sought Kevin’s help as I felt I was not in control of my dogs and it was having a bad effect on family life. I had many issues to solve, dogs fighting, dog barking at door and noise, dog jumping up and mouthy biting, dog on couch, dog over excited when people come in the house, dog pulling badly on lead. Since Kevin's visit 3 weeks ago and continuous and ongoing training, I have had wonderful results in every area. My house is a calmer place now.

I would highly recommend Kevin. He is a very knowledgeable man who instills confidence in you. I felt he really cared and put me at ease. Huge thanks to you Kevin.

Both my husband and I was extremely happy with the training we received from Kevin. Toby responded very quickly and was almost a different dog in under 24 hours. The techniques we were given was very easy to understand and to put into practice. We would recommend Bark Busters to anyone who need's guidance with there canine friend. Kevin was very friendly and we would welcome him back into our home when he's next in the area.

Training benson today was absolutely brilliant, Kevin explained and showed everything to us thoroughly. After only a few hours we had amazing results without any physical contact at all. We started with a very dominant dog who was constantly trying to be the leader of the pack and have finished with a calm submissive dog that's following commands that he never did before. Very, very happy and looking forward to the future with our dog. Worth every penny.

We decided to contact Bark Busters for our 11 year old dog Gizmo. We rescued him two years ago, although fabulous around people he was always aggressive around dogs. This got to the point where I was scared of taking him out especially with our eight month old son. After Kevin had been here for 10 minutes I knew we had made the right decision- he put us completely at ease and took us through what would happen and it all made complete sense! After a few hours of training Gizmo was socialising in the field with other dogs (my heart was racing!)

Wen I walk Gizmo now I feel confident and in control which I realise I never felt before. I am taking things slowing and building up our confidence with other dogs however it had changed our lives already. Gizmo no longer barks in the house an when we come home and is a very obedient dog now (and we are only 4 days in!)

Thank you Kevin!

We can't recommend Kevin highly enough. From the offset, we knew we'd made the right decision by turning to him for guidance. He asked lots of questions before meeting Timber and so was well prepared on arrival. We were able to ask questions too before arranging our appointment and knowing that only positive methods would be used, (no punishment or alpha training here), set our minds at ease completely. On meeting Kevin we knew that we were in experienced, knowledgeable and kind hands. Having previously made some good progress with our under-socialised and overly energetic GSD, we found we'd got to a point where we needed help handling some of his harder to solve anti-social issues, such as his excessive and frustrated reactions towards other dogs and his over-protective behaviour with us. I wouldn't have believed it myself but within 5 minutes of beginning to practise the techniques Kevin showed us, Timber showed signs of understanding what was expected of him because we could communicate effectively and give him commands he understood. What is more, after months of behaviourists trying, unsuccessfully, to help us introduce Timber to dogs, Kevin managed to help us walk Timber calmly and happily near his own dog with very little fuss or trauma. While we didn't expect all of his troubles to be solved straight away, what we saw today was the beginnings of a happier and calmer dog. Now we have the right tools to guide him, we are happier and calmer too. Thank you Kevin, you will never know just what a difference you have made, and this is only the beginning!
