Reviews & Testimonials For Emma Barrett

Great listener, very helpful and supportive

Emma was lovely she gave us a lot of helpful information

Clear instructions and very supportive, enabling us to feel reassured that our dog could learn to enjoy travelling in a car.

My husband and I were a week into rehoming Bert (a cocker/retriever cross) when we realised we needed help with some behavioural issues (lead reactivity, poor recall and general anxiety). I contacted Bark Busters and booked a support package with Emma Barrett. After one session with Emma, my husband and I felt really encouraged. Bert responded so positively to the training. This is really motivating as Bert has not had the best start in life and we want to get him back on track. We value the support package offered by Bark Busters as it means we have Emma’s on-going support across our first year with Bert. We know it’s going to take time and patience to gain Bert’s confidence and to know we have Emma in support is incredibly reassuring.

Really good

Emma arrived promptly and was a delight, the insight and information she shared with us was extremely helpful. We have always had dogs, but were becoming concerned about the incessant barking of our rescue dog who is 15 months old - it was becoming unbearable and combined with his anxiety, left us struggling to know how best to support him whilst also ridding him of his bad habit. Emma discussed his diet and recommended swapping to a raw diet to help with his anxiety and strict rules about OUR behaviour whilst dealing with both of our dogs. Of course the dig never barked once whilst she was there! However he responded to her talking to him - even though he wouldn't come out of his safe place to greet her ! Emma spent 3 hours with us and was so helpful. Within 3 days of her training programme Vlad was already stopping barking on our command and responding well to clear direction. We swapped to a raw food diet 2 weeks ago and have seen a difference in the anxiety level and the dogs simply love their new food - nothing left in the bowl after they have been fed, which they had done before. I would like to Thank Emma so much for giving us the confidence to support Vlad so that he is a proper member of the family and not viewed as a nuisance by our neighbours - if you are considering support for you dog - do it- you won't regret it !

A very positive experience for us and Tara, Emma was very patient and we learnt so much in our first lesson, Changing Tara's food has really improved her temperament and we are so happy with her behaviour so far, much improved.

Emma gave clear and easy to follow instructions on how to help us to help our boy
