Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

First home visit. Identified issues in the home but unable to observe and therefore tackle the issues with other dogs on this visit. Good diagnostic introduction. Looking forward to working on the solutions.

Pasive Leadership - Lead control, barking, distance control and listening addressed.

Excellent first session, amazing what was achieved by Neil. Very pleased with trainer and outcomes.

We instantly warmed to Neil and his friendly manner with our dog. I loved that he included my two children in discussions and training. I felt I could be open and honest with Neil about issues and he was very reassuring. He supported us with humour and understanding and I have full confidence in his skills and knowledge of dogs and training. We all thoroughly enjoyed the initial session and activities left have been fun, helpful and are achievable. I felt very relieved and optimistic after the first session and am looking forward to future training.

Neil was very helpful with our dogs issues and gave us advice and homework to help us on our journey to a more harmonious life

Neil was very polite, listened carefully to all Montys issues, Marking the house, separation anxiety, general being the boss of me and my partner, and showed us how to become leader of the pack he answered any questions we had, since the visit it has been a week of a different dog and I am happy that Monty is happy , it is still a working progress and I am still learning to undo my old habits but so far so good :) I would highly recommend Neil he is very knowledgeable! ...

We've had Blu our 15 month old German Shepherd since he was 8 weeks old. In November he started to become reactive (constant lunging, barking and occasional snapping at dogs although not actual touching them) which meant we've not been able to do much off lead work with him when dogs are around. He's always been to doggy day care twice a week but that stopped in early July, and we would eventually love him to go back. Blu has always been to group puppy and obedience training but we've also put that on hold whilst we work with Bark Busters so we have consistency. Neil came to visit us last Sunday, he is very laid back and friendly and clearly has a lot of knowledge and experience. We were incredibly impressed with how Blu responded to Neil and the techniques he used for barking, and jumping up. We then went to the local park where dogs were playing, Neil observed us handling Blu and offered us sound professional advise. We're keeping up to date with our homework and trying to be as consistent as possible with Blu with lots of positive reinforcement . In just a week we've seen an improvement, yesterday I felt confident enough to take Blu to the park to do some training and playing whilst there was quite a few dogs in the area. I ensured that Blu had enough space between him and the other dogs and he did great, concentrating on me even though he was aware of all the other dogs around him. We've still a way to go, but delighted in just a week we've seen some positive changes. I suspect most of the changes are with us as handlers, which impacts Blu's behaviour. Thank you Neil, we look forward to our next session.

We were very impressed with Neil at our first training session last week. He has a great understanding of dogs and observed our dog closely before putting together a plan of action for her. We have been following Neil's training recommendations this week and so far so good, she has responded well. We are looking forward to working with Neil over the next 12 months.

Neil was brilliant, within 10 minutes of meeting our beagle, he literally had him eating out of his hand. Would highly recommend Neil.

Neil has helped with Willows crate training, sit,down and stay, he gave me confidence to be strong with her and create her sleeping patterns to help get her into a routine.

excellent training and lovely person is Neil. He was good with my 13 year old daughter and with all the family and Meg responded very quickly to Neil's demands would definitely recommend

We are trying to be consistant with his training, and although he is still a work in progress, he is so much better on his walks now. As for the hairdryer, that has worked a treat and I can now dry my hair with him in the room, without him trying to bite the hairdryer wire out of my hands. We haven't had much success with the mixer, but will keep on trying. And the door barking is still a bit hit and miss, but is getting better.
