Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

5th March 2013 - Lynn Prentice

Lynn dealt with Puppy management

Lynn was absolutely fantastic from the moment she arrived until she left. The hands on puppy management was just what we and Charlie needed, being shown how to do things properly is going to make a huge difference to us all. First test for Charlie this morning was going to the toilet outside when he woke, he passed with flying colours! Would definitely recommend Lynn to anyone and knowing that she's at the end of a phone or email is a comfort in itself. Highly recommended!

3rd March 2013 - Lynn Prentice

Lynn dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Puppy management, Separation anxiety

We have never had a pet dog before. So we were pulling our hair out by the time Lynn came to visit. Marley was howling barking and sleeping in our bedroom and couldn't be left alone for even a minute. by the time Lynn left she had changed his diet had him weeing and pooing in the garden and taught him to sit on command. We were so relieved and grateful for the help and support as we were at our wits end. Worth every penny

3rd March 2013 - Graham Milgrew

Graham dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling, Recall, Other

I am very pleased with the progress of the training that Jo has suggested. I was not at all sure whether calling in Bark Busters was a good idea but I am really happy that I did. Jo has given me a lot of advice not only on behaviour but on feeding as well. She makes our meetings very enjoyable. I would not hesitate to recommend Bark Busters to friends. In fact I already have.

- -.I, Chelmsford, Essex (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Graham
This lady has two lovely rough collies who are very nervous and barked constantly. One of the dogs lunged for joggers and cyclists and their owner found it very difficult to take them both out for a walk together. She is an experienced dog owner and has done very well resolving her dogs problems despite bouts of ill health. She can now take them out confidently and enjoy her walks.

Neil dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall, Separation anxiety

I was very impressed with our first session with my puppy. The trainer Neil listened to what I had to say and the issues I needed addressing. He gave me lots of confidence to carry on using his techniques. Molly had a happy "learning" time and was quite content to follow my instructions later. We both look forward to our next session.

24th February 2013 - Lynn Prentice

Lynn dealt with Hyperactivity, Pulling, Other

We really enjoyed meeting Lynn, she seemed very relaxed and started working with us right away, she was able to identify several points as to why our beloved dog was a pain in the arse!!! we have been working very hard with the stuff Lynn told us to do, and we have seen a large improvement with Rosco, we still have a way to go and will need some extra help for sure. we liked Lynn style and approach and would happily recommend her to others, in fact we have already done this to our friends who have a dog that will not stop barking!!!

15th February 2013 - Graham Milgrew

Graham dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety

Excellent. Millie has made tremendous progress in the 10 days since Jo visited.

- -.M, Shoeburyness, Essex (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Graham
Millie is a Cockerpoo who's owners needed a training program in place before going with her to France and Spain for several months. Millie was hyperactive and constantly attention seeking making it difficult for her owners to safely take her in their camper van and on their boat. She would also escape and run off and not come back. In a very short time she has truly made the "tremendous progress" her owners have commented on and they can now enjoy their extended holiday with their lovely dog.

10th February 2013 - Sharon Chapman

Sharon dealt with Recall

The training was taken step by step giving confidence both with myself and my dog. It was also enjoyable.

5th February 2013 - Graham Milgrew

Graham dealt with Barking, Chewing, Separation anxiety, Other

We took on a Battersea rescue Staffie Cross, called Coco in August 2012. As relatively experienced dog owners we thought that when she presented any behavioural issues that we would be able to deal with it. We were wrong, in reality, Coco was a very scared little dog, who if we left her alone in the house would chew her way through crates, eat and scratch our internal doors, be terrified of loud noises (fireworks and thunder storms) and in general looked very unhappy and unsettled whilst living with us. Outside of the house she would kill any ball within her eyesight and bark and jump at any dog larger than herself, all without us being able to distract or calm her. We had thrown every little tip and trick we had learnt with our previous dogs but had little to no success with these methods. In January 2013, we could no longer deal with seeing our beautiful little dog looking so miserable with her life. I saw that Jo had worked with my local rescue, Hornchurch Animal Rescue with some success so as we had literally nothing to lose decided to make the phone call. This was one of the wisest decisions we had ever made. Jo visits your home for a few hours and quickly assesses your dog by their body language. We had a very anxious dog and we were making her worse by not addressing her bad behaviour and reassuring her when she was really fearful. Jo leaves you with a given a tailored program of re-training her and reinforcing her good behaviour. As she is such an intelligent little girl she really took to the new regime like a duck to water. Jo really proves that if you are willing to put in a little of your time every day in training your dog that you will get repaid a thousandfold. We have a happy relaxed little dog who is now seen in the local neighbourhood as an ambassador for her breed. Thank you Jo x

- -.N, Hornchurch, Essex (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Graham
This family had taken on a beautiful Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross who was so anxious she found it hard to handle everyday situations. It is impossible to know if her time in rescue caused these problems or if she was in rescue because of them, but the end result meant that Coco spent her time reacting to situations she couldn’t handle with some pretty unpleasant consequences for her loving family. The worst of this being her separation anxiety where she would destroy the house if left on her own. Her owners have worked hard to build Cocos confidence and she has blossomed into a lovely friendly dog who now looks to them to look after her and is a dog who is enjoying her life to the full. An amazing turn around in this little dogs life.
