Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Sharon came to see us to help with our rescue dog who had multiple problems settling into a home environment. He's spent his whole life in a shelter and ours is his first home. Sharon could see straight away how fearful the dog was and showed us techniques to stop barking and growling at certain family members. Sharon has so much knowledge and everything she said was right. She has put us on the right track to sorting out some of the bigger problems first and will help us further down the line with more training. Sharon always responds to emails with helpful advice.

We both found it informative and interesting Sharon is very knowledgeable and we found her kind and understanding of our problem

We had an extensive session that involved talking to us about the key issues, meeting the dogs and observing their behaviour at home and on walks, followed by identifying training strategies designed to target our needs. Sharon was an excellent communicator and very happy to listen to us too. We felt comfortable, confident and at ease throughout. We have a programme of homework to follow for two weeks and will then be reporting back to Sharon to see what the next steps are. We're looking forward to the ongoing process and learnt a huge amount in the first session.

We have just come to the end of our 1 year Puppy Management training with our Border Collie, Skye and can't thank Sharon enough for all her help and support. From the initial session to the most recent meeting, whatever question or issues we had with Skye, Sharon was always on hand with the answers. Sharon's training methods were always about praise and reward which was ideal and worked! Sharon's help was invaluable and we could not have got through the first few months without her as Skye, being a typical Border Collie, was hard work! I would highly recommend Sharon to anyone.

From the moment Sharon walked through the door, I knew that here was someone who totally understands dogs and someone I can trust implicitly to guide us through this mine field. Roxy is 8 months old and has not been trained properly due to long standing health issues. It's fair to say that she is currently running the house and definitely thinks that she is the Queen. Sharon, without really engaging with her too much, had her under a measure of control within minutes. The amount of information I was given in the first session was staggering and it all made perfect sense. We are only 2 weeks in and the level of success is small at present but we trust Sharon to help us and Roxy achieve our goals

Sharon was amazing. Everything she says makes sense and if your not sure you can ask. No rushing or strict time schedule. She really seemed to understand buddy and his problems and has logical easy to do training with him that we can easily manage when she's not here. The improvements in his behaviour were almost instant and we are very impressed.

Sharon came to our house last night for our first puppy training session with our dog Poppy. I must say even though we have only had one lesson we saw an immediate change in poppy's behavior towards our cats. We realize its early days but hopefully using the skills Sharon has taught us we will be able to make Poppy the well behaved, social little dog she wants to be. Our cats seem much more relaxed around Poppy and she is responding well to door control commands. We were amazed at how quick Poppy was to learn the calming behavior Sharon taught her and we can't wait for the next session.

Sharon gave some excellent advice and an explanation for each of my dog's behaviours of concern and how best to rectify them. She has a very professional approach and I felt confident she could help Jasper and me to improve the behaviours I had concerns about. I have welcomed the further training tips sent by email and feel reassured that there will be follow up supervision over the next 12 months. I have recommended Bark Busters to several dog owning friends.

Firstly I would like to say how responsive Amanda was to my emails and phone calls and knowledgable on dogs unwanted behaviour it made me want to book. Sharon was very informative and the time flew by on the first lesson she had won Bella over in a short time. She taught us basic games that engaged Bella and gave us lots of information including nutrition which was interesting. We are practicing the techniques she shown us and look forward to the next session.

First training session with Sharon and we were very impressed. She took time to listen to and understand the problems we were experiencing with Remus and explained and demonstrated exercises and techniques we could employ with him. She gave us homework to do with helpful notes and we will be having further follow up sessions with her. We are reassured that we will soon have a calmer and happier dog.

The training went very well, Sharon was very helpful and pleasant. She showed me where I had been going wrong. She also gave me advice on his foods as which I have followed.

Max seems much calmer and I understand wot I need to do now, the help Sharon gave us is helping loads ,so I feel much more confident
