Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

19th October 2018 - Graham Milgrew

Graham dealt with Chewing, Digging, Jumping up, Puppy management, Toileting

We were struggling with our puppy Teddy on several issues and desperately needed help with toileting and puppy management. Jo arrived and spent 4 hours teaching us how to deal with Teddy. He was exhausted when we finished but responded really well. We have to have a further session on recall when he is outside he does get distracted but we are working on this with the 35 foot lead Jo supplied which gives us the confidence and teddy the freedom to walk further away from us. Looking forward to the next visit. Thanks Jo

Trainer note from Graham

Teddy is a wonderfully bright little Shih Tzu who had been taken to puppy training and had done very well, but his very brightness meant that he recognised if someone did something slightly different and as far as he was concerned it was "I don't do that". Dogs literally learn what we teach them and are not very good at generalising so if you teach them to sit with a hand action and/or with a treat they will often not do the command without the hand action/ treat.  This leads a lot of owners to say "my dog won't do it without a treat" which is not entirely correct.  It is just because that was the way they were taught originally..  Once owners know this is how a dog thinks they can then help their dog get it right and lots of training problems can be solved quickly.   

17th October 2018 - Neil Price

Neil dealt with Barking, Digging, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall

We have two Labrador cross dogs 4 years old.Neil came to visit us in may 2018, he watched intently at our dogs behaviour, put us at ease and before he left had virtually stopped any jumping up.we also had issues with barking which is somewhat better now just perseverance doing what Neil has instructed us to do. Pulling on the lead is again somewhat better and actually managed a walk with both dogs to the park and back today, still got room for improvement but with Neil's help I'm sure that we can only get better.Ive learnt that dog training isn't an overnight fix and takes time under instruction but with this guys expert guidance we will be more able to cope thanks Neil top guy

The first training session was positive with easy practical advice to address issues. Ruby has responded well in a short space of time. However training is still ongoing and requires patience and perseverance.

Extremely helpful in understanding our dogs and the reasons for their behaviour. Also the ways in which to modify their behaviour and, again, the reasons why very well explained and demonstrated.

Shauna dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling

We had our first visit today from Shauna and all I can say is wow. For the first time since having the dogs I can actually see a future where we can walk our dogs happily with our children in tow. I can't wait to put all the advice into practice on our new journey. Thank you it was great to meet you.

8th October 2018 - Alex Fraser

Alex dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Separation anxiety

We are very pleased with the early results we have seen in Daisy. Even after such a short time things have really improved. Alex was really easy to work with and was committed to helping Daisy and our family with the challenges we have with some of Daisy's behaviour. Even in the first lesson Daisy responded really well and we are looking to our follow up session to continue the foundations we have put in place. Thank you Alex!

- -.L, Eccles, Greater Manchester (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Alex

Daisy is a lovely little dog who they have rescued but she is extremely nervous and struggles when people enter her home or when she goes out on a walk. When I start a session I never know how much we will be able to get through, as it really does depend on how envoys or stressed a dog is. The first session went really well and we achieved more than I initially expected. I can’t wait to catch up with them all in a few weeks.

6th October 2018 - Gavin Chambers

Gavin dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling

Gavin gave me a lot of information to help me with Dottie. She's getting better with waiting before going through doors and gates .We are still struggling with the barking at dogs but the barking through the window is getting better. Gavin is very helpful he listened to all my problems with Dottie she has stopped hiding before she goes for a walk so hopefully things are getting better with her .

5th October 2018 - Liz Johnson

Liz dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall

OMG - So Amazing - Liz has visited my house on several occasions now to help me with my two springer spaniel pups. I was at the end of my tether when she first came. Barking, pulling, anxiety to name but a few of the problems we were having. Three months later we have different dogs. Walking is a pleasure now we have introduced the Canny Collar. Barking at the window is just a distant memory. Liz is the best thing to happen to us since we got the dogs. My only regret is that we didn't know about Bark Busters sooner. I am now starting to enjoy my dogs and living in a happier and calmer household. Well done Liz and thank you so much for your very valuable help and guidance.

4th October 2018 - Lee Hardy

Lee dealt with Aggression, Jumping up, Sibling rivalry

we were really nervous when Lee arrived because our 2 cocker spaniels had been aggressive to each other for 1 month and i was tearing my hair out. Lee was brilliant. i explained everything and he demonstrated what i needed to do . he actually started to train the dogs there and then and it was MAGIC. instantly it worked. he left me with a full set of instructions and we tried it out the next day . cant believe the difference. my 2 dogs actually like each other again (mother and daughter) we had stuck "BAH" labels on doors to remind us of the command as its easy to let it slip. Lee is coming back in 3 weeks and i cant wait to learn about the next stage. we bought the lifetime price . its not cheap but if it works then its worth it.

3rd October 2018 - Shauna Hoey

Shauna dealt with Aggression, Recall

We got Hector a rescue Jack Russell, who was great, then had a bit of a problem with aggression, and recall as we did not know what he was called before....We called Bark Busters and around came Shauna, she has such a way with animals they just seem to be calm and happy around her. Hector is at most times a happy relaxed dog, recall is much better now and long lead work has really helped.

2nd October 2018 - Kevin McDonnell

Kevin dealt with Aggression

Kevin was excellent. We were amazed at how well Freddie responded to the actions we were being taught. Kevin made it all very clear and straight forward to us, he had a great way of putting the behaviours across. We were extremely impressed and are looking forward to taking the lessons learnt forward . We would highly recommend Kevin to anyone.
