Jacquie dealt with Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Toileting, Other

Well time flies by so quickly and we can't believe it's been over a month already since we had our training session with Jacquie, who we have to say was so friendly and easy to talk to and taught us so much in those 3hrs that flew by so quickly. our Molly is a 2yr old Staffie Cross (we think with a high jumping Whippet! Lol) Molly was leaping, mouthing, pulling and jumping on everyone who came near us! Jacquie taught her (kindly) that she was not in charge and taught us not to feel sorry for her but to understand that her past was indeed in the past (mostly caged for 2yrs 24/7 and starved hence the RSPCA rescue, she didn't even know how to play Ball bless her) and this was her future which meant we were in charge and she would learn to respect us... So weeks later she is starting to get her head round what we need from her, she doesn't leap anymore She occasionally jumps up, through excitement, but a quick reminder and she's down She sits in her bed and waits to be invited to say hello to visitors (occasionally forgetting herself, but a quick reminder puts her back in bed. Walking to heel is still ongoing and can be quite good until she sees a bird, butterfly, bee, basically anything that moves!! But we're not giving up on the training as our hands are no longer sore from her previous pulling, we just think this little girl has special needs and takes a bit longer to register what we're wanting her to do. Recall is good as we blow the whistle she relates to her food (another training aid suggested by Jacquie, yaay) My frail 88 yr old Mum came over for a visit again this week, and for the first time I didn't have to put Molly on lead around the house and Mum was able to sit peacefully in the chair, an odd reminder from Mum to not come up and Molly walked away, plus getting up to walk around Molly didn't jump up one her. Molly still has her moments of madness but these are getting less over the weeks of training and as long as we stay consistent we're pretty sure she will continue to improve. All training given was kind and caring, no harsh methods used, so we're very pleased with the results so far. All in all we can't thank Jacquie enough for her help, we believe we have the makings of a fantastic little girl, rescue dogs can be the best pets with the right trainers. Thanks again Bark Busters/Jacquie

Trainer note from Jacquie
Another delightful staffie. They are such great dogs to train, & the owners are pretty good to! Rules, boundaries & a decent diet go a long way to helping owners have a calmer & obedient dog. Molly had a tough start to life, but now she has a loving home & owners. Great work!

Jacquie dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Recall

What an amazing and truly enlightening morning I spent with Jacquie for my first training session. She is such a lovely, non-judgemental lady with a wealth of experience to impart. She totally sussed my dogs within 10 mins of arriving and within half an hour had transformed my interaction with them with some very easy to follow training methods. I have had a huge amount of success in the first week of following Jacquie's instructions and am so excited to carry on with our new regime and have two very happy and balanced dogs.

Jacquie dealt with Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall

The Bark Busters set up works well and has encouraged us to make some changes to things we weren't particularly worried about, but that we can now see a better way of dealing with. Jacquie is very professional and gave us some good advice. It is too early to comment on how successful the new training regime will be, as we are only 10 days in, but we have high hopes for it and are sure it will have a positive impact.
