Dog Training - Bark Busters Reviews - Manda Denny

What dog owners are saying about us

Manda was very informative, patient and helpful,a difference in the dogs behaviour could been seen straight away and has been gradually improving ever since, although there is still a way to go. Manda has been back to see us since to do some work with us on the lead which again was an extremely positive session. She's fantastic with the dog and has such patience with all the members of the household who are involved with the dogs training. Her knowledge is unprecedented and would recommend her and your company to anybody.S.M., Leeds, West Yorkshire (Testimonial)9th September 2016

I found it interesting, clear and straightforward. My dog is already responding to my commands. I still have away to go but I am confident for the future.L.C., Huddersfield, West Yorkshire (Testimonial)31st August 2016

Absolutely amazed at the difference in Bobbies behaviour after the first three hour session. Manda gave us lots of useful information that will help us with this journey, plus helped us with body language and tone of voice. We were so happy to be able to walk Bobbie with no pulling after Manda showed us how to control with the lead and collar. As a trainer you can tell she has lots of experience, but also passion for her job, she is very down to earth and easy to talk to. Thank you so much for your help so far.L.H., Leeds, West Yorkshire (Testimonial)29th January 2016

Frankie was barking and jumping at the door when Manda arrived and it's now four hours later...did you take him home with you and substitute another well behaved dog? We will continue with the suggestions you gave us. Thank you!!M.R., otley, West Yorkshire (Testimonial)12th January 2016

We were very happy with Manda's approach. She took time to get to know us and Max and what we hoped to achieve with Max in his early days.V.S., Wakefield, West Yorkshire (Testimonial)2nd October 2015

Great first session. We have already noticed a difference in Baxter's behaviour, especially with regard to his walking close to us & not pulling as much. We have followed Manda's advice & changed Baxter's lead & muzzle. We have also changed to a grain-free food in an attempt to aid his ability to remain calm.

Manda Denny dealt with: Puppy Management

Manda was great. Knew exactly what was needed to get Enzo on his first steps to obedience. She kept it interesting for him and even tho he's only a puppy he didn't seem to be bored at all. Even tho its early days, he seemed to pick it up very quickly!

Trainer note from Manda:

Puppy sessions are wonderful. It is always a privilege to be involved in building the puppy's relationship with his family.

Manda Denny dealt with: Jumping up at visitors or the dog jumps up at people on walks

Manda spent a lot of time with us and gave us some really helpful advice. Since Manda’s visit Marley has slept through every night which is amazing. We have had a good amount of success training Marley not to pick up and eat any dropped paper tissues. Most times he is leaving them alone. We even went out and left one on the floor and it was there intact when we came back. We have tried a couple of times with him off the lead in our bedroom and after barking at him a couple of times he went and laid down and made no further effort to get on the bed. We are very happy with how things are progressing.

Trainer note from Manda:

Wonderful owners with a dog who through nobody's fault has been through a lot and really deserved to be allowed to let go of his role. So glad to be able to provide a full night's sleep for all concerned!

Barking at people, dogs, animals, birds or where the dog barks for attention or at the slightest noise

I understand what was to be achieved. Mandy was very knowledgable. I prefer to be actively shown what to do. I will keep doing the exercises shown but sometimes I forget what to do. Sometimes Marvin isn’t attentive so it’s a bit difficult. I think he needs more training from Manda.

Trainer note from Manda:

Marvin is a lovely dog, but he puts a lot of pressure on himself. It was lovely to go back and continue to work on his owner's goals.

Manda Denny dealt with: Barking at people, dogs, animals, birds or where the dog barks for attention or at the slightest noise

I am very thrilled with the training advice I have received and now feel very happy and confident that the training will be of great help to both of us. I have already dee some improvement in Milos behaviour. I also have seen I have been sending the wrong communications to Milo thus confusing him.

Trainer note from Manda:

I love stories like this. Milo is a lovely dog who was stressed and trying to help his owner out instead of listen. I'm really looking forward to going back for a visit to see how things are shaping up. Thank you and well done!

Using Manda's tips when walking Maisy is pulling less and is more attentive to where I am when on her retractable leash. I am able to quite Maisy quicker when she is barking. Maisy appears to have more confidence in me which intern has made her realise when I say no it's no.

Manda Denny dealt with: Barking at people, dogs, animals, birds or where the dog barks for attention or at the slightest noise

Manda was awe inspiring right from the first moment Milo met her. In fact it was from the moment he entered the room. Normally he would rush up and greet visitors with too much vigor. He entered the room and quietly walked to Manda, where he sat quietly and followed her commands. I watched in shock, where was my dog?

In a way it was almost a shame that Milo didn’t fully exhibit his usual habits, however I could see that Manda was experienced enough to see through his ‘good behaviour’.

The day went really well and Milo was responding brilliantly. The training was as much about me as it was Milo. I was already aware I had formed some bad habits with Milo.

In the two weeks since he has made some positive improvements. I haven’t been consistent which has hampered our training but we are back on track now and looking forward to working with Manda.

I have complete confidence in Manda’s training methods and know this is an investment that is more than worth it.

Manda Denny dealt with: Aggression to a dog or other animal or where the dog is aggressive to the owner or a stranger

We have not had a dog for a long time Mandy spent about 3 hours with us and gave us tips on feeding getting her to come to us how to control her with a training lead in the house in her box instead of jumping on us in the evening and saying she was not really being aggressive she just had to be taught who is in control . And quite a few helpful tips.

Manda Denny dealt with: Aggression to a dog or other animal or where the dog is aggressive to the owner or a stranger

Manda was instantly likeable and friendly. She listened intently to our concerns and explained everything in terms we clearly understood! Rocco tried it on a bit but after a while we saw quite an amazing change in his temperament. The ‘homework’ and literature Manda left was clear and concise and I’m always referring back to it. As long as we keep practising, as advised, I’m sure we’ll see a happier dog, leaving us happier owners!! Can’t wait for our next session!!

Trainer note from Manda:
Rocco is a lovely boy who was a little worried about having to look after his family. He’s a lot happier now that the pressure is off.

Manda Denny dealt with: Jumping up at visitors or the dog jumps up at people on walks

Manda was extremely knowledgeable so she was able to explain the reason for a particular behaviour so I now understand what I need to do to encourage our dog to behave in the way we want and stop the behaviours we don't. Already seeing the benefits.
