Reviews & Testimonials For Kevin McDonnell

Kevin worked miracles. We had a very timid,scared fearful puppy of 5 months from Romania cross breed. We had him for 4 weeks and were at a loss on how to progress. The puppy did not want to be touched or come out his den.In just 1 session he turned him around completely, so much so we now have a different happy dog. We should have called on Kevin earlier. He literally saved us from returning him to the rescue. We highly recommend Kevin to anyone having behavioural issues with their dog. We will definitely call upon him later as our puppy progresses.

Wasn't sure what to expect but boy were we impressed. Kevin was extremely good. He spent the time listening to our issues & identifying the problems. Within 5 minutes of training we saw instant results. The four hours passed so quickly but afterwards we felt confident to carry on our own. As Kevin said " he was there to train us!! not the dog". We fully understand that we have to carry on practicing with the techniques shown . If anyone thinks that their situation is beyond help please get in touch with Kevin at Bark Busters. It will be life changing & you can start to really enjoy your dog.

I have been having issues with my Kelpador, who leaps to greet and can (from a standing start) jump over 6ft which is impressive but not acceptable. He also dislikes people in hats, tries to dominate some dogs (including dogs who are in their own homes & Merlin is the visitor. I didn't have the skills/understanding to be able to take control of my pack and have a dog that I am happy to take anywhere. Kevin is the nicest man, and very quickly understood Merlin. He explained to me how he was going to give me the tools to enable me to have a better relationship with my dog, one in which we are both happy and in the correct pecking order! The transformation, and it is that, is incredible. We (Merlin and I) have a bit of adjustment to get used to, but we are both going to be able to enjoy so much more together. I cannot recommend Kevin highly enough.

Kevin was fantastic. We can’t thank him enough. We have such well behaved responsive dogs now after just one session on Sunday. We had never been able to get results with our own training methods and were feeling overpowered by our dogs. Kevin came to our home and spent 4 hours with us. We also went to a park with him to work on recall and took the dogs to a busy social place too which we had previously been avoiding. I couldn’t recommend Kevin more he has solved our problems with brilliant training methods and helped us understand why our dogs behaved the way they did. We now have two happy brilliantly behaved dogs and two very happy owners!
