24th March 2020 - Graham Milgrew

Graham dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling

Graham is our trainer we could not be happier. He showed and told us techniques and a walk round the block which was fantastic but we were all in the kitchen, soon as he left the dog started her naughty ways so the next time he calls we will discuss the matter with him in the living room.

- -.A, Leytonstone London, Essex (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Graham

Anabella is a sweet natured but excitable American Bulldog. She gets very excited at the front door and can be a handful when out walking. We had some good success with the walking issues on our first session and will continue to work on the front door issues over time.

Graham dealt with Hyperactivity, Separation anxiety

Jo and Graham were very caring for our dog Daisy and clearly knew their stuff . A lot of what they did was more about giving us (the owners) the confidence about what we needed to do. I'm not totally convinced Daisy is cured of her problems but she is certainly better and it just needs more investment of my time to get her where I'd like her to be. Kindly Graham has offered more time to help than we expected which is good and I will take this up as both he and Jo genuinely seem to care.

- -.C, Romford, Essex (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Graham

This owner sadly lost 2 of his dogs and Daisy then lost what little confidence she had when she had to meet dogs on her own.  She was particularly nervous when other dogs approached her and the friendlier and bouncier they were, the more upset she got.  Fixing this type of problem is not quick and Daisy will always be a shy dog - but since starting work with us Daisy is now able to go to her local park and interact with multiple dogs when the owner is in the calmer environment of the park cafe.  Daisy does choose sometimes to go under the chair but she is no longer barking and getting very upset.  She is calmer walking past dogs and has even been for two walks with our large German Shepherd and was polite and happy for Maisie to go into her house.  Because Daisy and her owner needs some ongoing support we will be doing some additional socialisation once the Covid 19 restrictions are lifted.  In the meantime her owner can take advantage of the quieter environment to build Daisy's confidence.

Graham dealt with Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up

The training is provided in a very easy manner. Graham is very friendly to Sox and us humans. He is so patient with us and explains everything so well that we can get on with each command easily. He has so many ideas for us to utilise, I don't know what we would do if we hadn't got in touch with Bark Busters. I was completely at my limit but we now have a dog to be proud of. We can't thank Graham enough he is a genius and genuine lover of all breeds of dogs. THANKS GRAHAM.

- -.A, London (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Graham

Sox is a beautiful Staffordshire cross with a really playful personality. She can get frustrated because she just wants to be busy and playing for large parts of the day. Her owners now know how to get her to focus and listen to them better and have been giving her regular training and brain games to occupy and tire her out. She is still boisterous and energetic but is becoming more controllable as time progresses.

Graham dealt with Recall, Other

Jo was very knowledgeable and extremely supportive in assisting us to help Jimmy understand instructions, be braver when meeting other dogs and generally being settled. I would recommend Jo as a very friendly lady who's is completely understanding and fully of helpful advice. Thanks Jo.

- -.K, Hornchurch, Essex (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Graham

This owner and her family have taken on a Greyhound cross that had been left on a Travellers site.  He has little or no experience of the outside world and is afraid of traffic, people, dogs and pretty much anything he hasn't experienced before.  However, he has a lovely nature and has really taken to his new family which is essential to help him get used his new life.  He has really responded well to initial training and I am confident he will soon love being outside as much as he loves being inside with his family.

Graham dealt with Recall

Graham was brilliant. So knowledge, easy to understand and not judgemental. Luna is like a different dog!

- -.K, London (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Graham

Luna is a beautiful, adolescent whippet.As she matured she developed a very strong prey drive (fairly common with this type of dog) and became quite obsessed with hunting foxes and other small animals. We worked on channeling Luna's energy into playing games with her owner and focusing on what she was being asked to do rather than what she would prefer to do. Luna responded very well and is making good progress - the local foxes are even starting to relax!!

11th February 2020 - Graham Milgrew

Graham dealt with Barking, Chewing, Pulling, Puppy management, Separation anxiety

We had Graham as our trainer who we found to be very friendly and helpful. We saw instant results on the day when Graham put Coco and Mowgli through some training and Graham showed us how we can use the training techniques ourselves by us physically carrying them out on the day, which was exactly what I needed especially with Mowglis anxious behaviour on walks.

- -.C, Basildon, Essex (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Graham

Cocoa is a large mastiff cross and Mowgli appears to be a smallish German Shepherd cross. They were both adopted at the same time by their owners.They are lovely dogs in the house, though a bit over friendly and hyperactive! A major problem was their pulling and barking on walks. We were able to address this at the first session and things are now improving.

Graham dealt with Barking, Pulling, Recall

I had Graham as my trainer, who was very friendly and calm and put me and Louie at ease. He has given me some very good advise, which has been helping me and Louies relationship in training. I look forward to our next session with Graham.

- -.L, Wallington, Surrey (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Graham

Louie is a small, adolescent pug. He's a little bit nervous and this has lead to him being a bit barky and defensive when he encounters strange people and dogs. He also has the common adolescent dog issues with recall and being easily distracted. We made really good progress with him during the first session and his owner now knows how to get his attention and relax him when he's feeling stressed. We also agreed on a technique for improving his recall.

Graham dealt with Puppy management

Graham is incredible, he has the answer/technique for everything. I am completely new to training a puppy, he has been understanding, patient and thorough in everything that he has taught us so far. Thank you for your help.

- -.S, Wallington, Surrey (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Graham

Rusty is an Irish Doodle puppy who was playing too roughly with his humans. Later on, he got scared of cars when walking on the pavement. We addressed both of these problems as well as covering all of the puppy basics. Rusty is doing really well now and his humans are having a great time with a lovely puppy.

16th January 2020 - Graham Milgrew

Graham dealt with Barking

First lesson with Graham went really well he taught us some techniques to solve some of the problems we have with barking hopefully the next few lessons will go just as well.

- -.D, Basildon, Essex (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Graham

3 lovely little chihuahuas who have seen quite a few changes in their lives over the past year As a result, they have become very reactive and defensive around strangers We are working on improving their confidence and giving the owners the techniques to interrupt the barking

9th January 2020 - Graham Milgrew

Graham dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Puppy management, Recall

Graham was enormously helpful in providing training, nutrition and behaviour guidance for my young (teenage!) Border Terrier, Rupa. Graham made a difference from the day he visited and, following Graham's training plan, there's been a huge positive difference in just a few days. Couldn't be happier! Graham is very knowledgeable and had a great way of sharing that with me. Thank you!

- -.S, Walthamstow, London (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Graham

Rupa is a boisterous little border terrier with a lovely personality. We are currently working on channeling his natural energy in positive ways and teaching him to listen to his owner so that their walks together will become more enjoyable

Jo was incredibly helpful and insightful and very pleasant. She taught us a lot of new skills and techniques to help Loki with his generalised anxiety, looking forward to trying them all out!

- -.A, Bromley, Kent (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Graham

Wonderful family who are expecting their first child and have a Chihuahua who finds it hard to cope with some things.  They are forward planning to ensure that he can cope with the huge changes that are coming.

Graham dealt with Barking, Other

My dog is eight months old and has recently been diagnosed with brain damage. Jo showed us how to interact with Poppy

- -.D, London (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Graham

Poppy's brain damage means she constantly circles when worried or excited.  She also barks frequently.  It has been impossible to walk her up the road as she circles and barks every time she sees people.  There is no quick fix to this, but Poppy has patient owners and they have been working on communicating with her so that she can calm down and walk with them. I do not know how much we will achieve because of the damage, but she is already successfully walking short distances along the road.
