Reviews & Testimonials For Sharon Chapman

Sharon was fabulous! She helped us with a number of issues with our two overexcited dogs and less than a week in, we are already seeing some improvements in their behaviour and manners. She spent a lot of time with each dog individually to observe their specific needs, as well as observing us to point out all the things we were doing that were counter productive and creating confusion for our dogs. The advice and lesson plan were really practical, very achievable, and it was great that she showed us how to do each command, game, routine to ensure we were doing them right. The amount of times we thought 'oh yes, that's obvious...now you've pointed it out' really brought home how our small actions were having huge impacts on our dogs. And we had lots of bad habits! We have now changed our dogs diets (they say thank you - they love it!), have a list of the new 'rules' and 'clear commands' pinned on the fridge (for us to read, not the dogs!), and have a daily training plan which is fun, easy to stick to and is seeing results. Things are still a work-in-progress, but I wish we'd brought Sharon in months ago. Highly recommend.

Our first training session with Sharon was fantastic. She went through everything thoroughly and it was clear quite early on in the session it is us that needs the training! She was brilliant and listened to our concerns and issues and had a suggestion for everything.

Sharon seemed to appreciate the problems that we are having with Ted and she talked through ways forward and also demonstrated some of the training methods that we should be undertaking we are looking forward to her next visit

Excellent talk with Sharon. She listened to our concerns and provided us with a plan of action that is proving to be a great success.

Practical and down to earth techniques that were designed to fit around our lives rather than the other way round. Sharon is kind, calm and realistic and I’d fully and highly recommend her if you’re looking for a trainer. We had a dog that cried at the bottom of the stairs if I went to the loo, I now have a dog that comfortably stays on her own for 2 hours - absolute game changer.

Excellent first session with Sharon who was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviours. We have been using the training methods shown to us by her, and have noticed an improvement already in our young labrador. Wish we had used Bark Busters when Jessie was a young puppy! It was great to have one to one guidance and advice from Sharon, and for her to show us practically with our dog how to achieve this. We still have a few behavioural issues to sort out with Jessie but have every confidence that Sharon will over time help us achieve this. Would highly recommend Bark Busters and Sharon to any dog owner.

Very professional service. Sharon is very friendly, and she got Baxter. She made us feel more confident to move forward. I like the package offered with support when needed.

We were quite apprehensive about bringing someone in to help us with our 10 month old Miniature Schnauzer Mabel but Sharon instantly put us at ease! She listened, gave tips and advice and did some great practical training with Mabel which we are now putting into practice daily. Mabel loved her too and that definitely helped. Her knowledge is excellent and even though we are only a week in we are already noticing a calmer and happier Mabel and we feel Sharon will give us the tools and techniques to help us and Mabel. Highly recommend and glad that we made the investment - looking forward to working with Sharon over the coming months.

Great service & even better that they are willing to come to our home. Sharon was friendly, professional & listened to our worries and we discussed everything in detail and we were provided with lots of useful information and tips/ideas on training. We were not made to feel at fault or bad dog parents which was very reassuring and we even did a little practice exercise with Sharon which was a success, so overall we are confident that by following the agreed regime we can certainly improve any issues we are having. Follow-up emails to confirm the agreed steps and training plan followed on email as promised, and Sharon has continued to keep in touch over the past few weeks and I have provided updates on any progress (or not!) as promised, so all going well so far.

This was my second visit with some great practical walking lead work. I had suffered four dog attacks in a short space of time, so I was not in a good place and wrote an unkind trust pilot review! Through great work with Sharon and review of Sansa behaviour to threats I am in a far better place. I cannot praise the one-on-one work we had today enough I feel far more confident, and Sansa responded brilliantly! Thanks Sharon.

This was a really good session. I seem to be learning a lot of things that I didn’t know before which I expected. But I was also provided with written material as well as the face-to-face lesson which is helpful to me. Everything was very clear in terms of what was being done and why. And she was very kind and considerate to all the animals in the house. I’m a bit jealous because she seem to have more control over my dog than I do at the moment. But that’s not surprising. LOL

I have never felt the need for a dog behaviouralist before but after getting our rescue girl, Tilly felt we needed help in order to resolve her reactivity. Sharon has been an amazing help in providing us with the tools we need to go forward. We have learnt and continue to learn so much. Tilly is responding well to her training and is loving the games Sharon has set us to do daily. Recently I asked Sharon for nutritional advice and the information she forwarded was fantastic and such a massive help. So glad we decided to ask barkbusters for help. It is worth every penny.
