Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Thorough, well explained, helpful, respectful

Fantastic. Sharon was very business like and straight to the point. She spent loads of time with us and Murphy and after 3 days we can already see a difference in Murphy in terms of barking and door control. We are enjoying working with Murphy with the training tips that Sharon has suggested and Murphy enjoys it too. We still have a way to go but progress after 3 days is amazing!

After a number of different incidents with other dogs attacking/fighting with Nando, he became quite nervous of strange dogs when on-lead, and would bark and lunge. It was quite upsetting, and because of his large size was probably quite scary for other dog owners, too! Other than his nervousness and jumping up at visitors, I felt I was quite confident at training my own dog so I was quite embarassed to enlist the help of a professional. From the outset Sharon was fantastic with my dog and I needn't have worried about feeling embarassed of Nando's problems. From the moment Sharon entered the house it was clear to see she had a real affinity with dogs, and Nando responded really well to her. Immediately she was able to spot a number of things I was doing which was further re-inforcing his jumping up, and it was light-bulb moment when she explained why Nando continued to jump up. The real results however have been with his reactivity outside of the home. Usually I couldn't have one walk without him reacting to another dog if it got too close whilst he was on the lead. After just a few weeks of using Sharon's techniques, I am finding we can go 9/10 walks without a single reaction, which I'm sure with further practise we can improve on. Sharon also helped with a few different problems such as barking in the car, and getting bored in the house and managed to look at the problems from a new viewpoint which really helped to open my eyes! Overall, I would (and have!!) recommended her to many of my friends with dogs.

Sharon was very helpful in assisting me get to grips with our new puppy. Willow has come on leaps and bounds and we're both getting more confident as we work together . Sharon has really made a difference .

Sharon was really attentive to mine and Willow's needs. From the 3 hours Sharon spent with us as I felt l had learnt a lot and got to understand Willow's behaviour a lot more. After my first session I felt a lot more in control of Willow and now can look forward to the future and Willows progress.

Sharon was very knowledgeable about the behavioural problems which Eddie has and which training techniques to use. The training techniques are straight forward to follow and dog friendly which I wanted. I was also very impressed that Eddie was responding to the training straight away. Thanks Sharon

A very constructive lesson. Sharon put us at ease straight away. She gave some insure into Hattie's behaviour and how it can be managed and modified. We are seeing some early results and hope to progress. Knowing that Sharon is there when ever we need input is very reassuring.

Didn't know what to expect had no experience of trainers before. Felt at ease with Sharon straight away. She explained everything in a simple way so I could understand what she was doing with Smudge. He responded to Sharon brilliantly, she made him feel relaxed as well. Hope to continue training in 2 weeks looking forward to it.

We had a very good session. Sharon was able to see some of our and Hattie's problems. Constructive advice was given with on-going strategies to further direct and manage Hattie's behaviour. We are looking forward to a better behaved doggie down the line and can see some improvement already.

I found the training very helpful and Sharon put me at ease straight away. In the past I have been made to feel bad for my dogs agression, but Sharon reassured me that with time and training all of the problems Charlie had would be resolved. After our initial training I found that I relaxed more whilst taking Charlie for a walk which in turn relaxed Charlie around other dogs. I am now looking forward to progessing further with our training.

It has been a great help to us Louis has been a completely improved dog. We are still training him but have seen so much improvement in his behaviour. Thank you

We are absolutely made up with the progress after just one session. Sharon was brilliant and took her time to explain everything clearly. We feel very confident with our training program and can't wait to build a happier future with our dogs knowing we are in control. I would highly recommend Sharon to anyone.
