The initial session is always a longer session, anywhere between 2-3 hours. Most customers will get some relatively quick wins following the initial session, however further support is usually required to ensure the owner has the correct skills to resolve certain issues that can often take longer to improve, to to help with puppies as they grow up. Every now and again a meet a dog who doesn’t really have “behavioural issues”, but instead just needs some “fine tuning”. Flynn was one of these dogs. Even though their main problem was Flynn pulling on lead, I always like to work with a dog inside their home first before doing lead work. We decided to just do the initial session without follow up support, but i am happy for Flynn’s owners to upgrade to one of my follow up support packages if they decide they would benefit from further support. 

I really appreciate receiving such positive feedback from my customers, but to receive such amazing feedback in less than 5 hours after the initial session is an added bonus and put a massive smile on my face. I have worked with many customers who have tried working with different home trainers before they have reached out to me. And although there are some other very good home trainers out there, I honestly believe that the combination of the training I received from Bark Busters my 12 years experience of working with dogs and their owners, I can help any owner improve their dogs behaviours sooner rather than later. I am delighted with how quickly Dougie started to listen and I can’t wait to catch up with them all to see how they are all getting along.

Smudge did really well on his first training session and I can’t wait to catch up with them both in a few weeks to see how he is getting on. Apparently Smudge never listened to his owner, but within an hour of being there he really started to understand which behaviours were acceptable and which weren’t and he really started to listen to her. The reality is, there is no quick fix for a puppy, but following the initial session most customers will get some relatively quick wins. Some behaviours however can take longer to fix or improve. With some hard work and consistency, I am confident Smudge will grow up to be a very well behaved dog.   

Great session and even though I know how our training can really help, even I was pleasantly surprised at how much calmer Esso was by the end of the first session. Can’t wait to catch up with them all soon. 

I really love and appreciate how much owners love their dogs, and it’s therefore not surprising that so many dogs manage to wrap their owners around their big or little paws. But with a few small changes and some consistency it’s so easy to change the dynamic so that dogs start to listen better and worry less. I was really impressed with how well Rita did on her initial training session and I’m delighted that they have already seen improvements in her behaviour. Keep up the good work!

Over the past few years there definitely been an increase in the number of home dog trainers and I think it is so important that customers should do their research to find the right trainer for them. They need to be able to put the owner at ease and ensure they know what to do to ensure their dogs listen better and if necessary, worry less. I always enjoy working with the owners as much as I enjoy working with their dogs.
