Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

It was fantastic to meet you Peter! Your training style is straight forward and uncomplicated, which makes practicing your teachings very easy. We were so impressed with the gentle way you train and found Olley was very relaxed and happy to co operated with all you/ we asked of him. It's only been a day and already Olley is walking nicely "on lead" (rather than pulling my arm off) and has a better understanding of how we want him to behave. I am absolutely convinced that with practice and consistent training, we will have total success with helping our gorgeous boy become the perfectly behaved pooch we know he can be. It was lovely to meet you Peter, and we can't thank you enough for your help with training us to train Olley. Warm regards, Tina & Patrick

I felt it was very helpful Ralph seem to respond well to it he will take some time to become a well trained dog but he has taken the first steps to being well trained and at least tonight i walked out the back dorr without being used as his chew toy

This is the second time I have used Bark Busters. My first time was about 16 years ago with another dog. Still very happy with Bark Busters training program. Instructions were very clear to understand and within a few minutes there was a noticeable result.

Amazing results already. Well worth the initial outlay of money. The following day my dog was still following my instructions.

Ken is very helpful and supportive. He is generally available at the requested times and follows up to check on our progress

Friends of the Hound put me in touch with Neil as I was feeling very anxious when walking our new family member Pearl, a 3 year old rescue greyhound. She didn't know how to behave when she came across other dogs and due to her size they would often react, which would then cause her to react. I was very impressed with his knowledge and understanding and the results of his time spent with us have been wonderful. I'm pretty sure it was me who needed the training not Pearl because the change was immediate and has has had such a positive impact on our lives living with this amazing beautiful dog! Thanks to Neil I feel confident and comfortable taking her out anywhere, knowing that I'm in control and have her attention.

I found the training sessions and reading materials very practical and helpful. It was good to be able to work on those behaviours that needed to be addressed from most troublesome eg. Barking in the yard at night through to lesser problems such as learning to walk on the lead. Having the opportunity to ask questions and get answers that work for Cooper ( our dog) is what makes this method of dog training better than reading a book or discussing problem behaviours on online forums.

We were really anxious about bringing our Jasper to a new home. He has always been what we call a nuisance barker. Always barking when we leave the house, return to the house, pick up keys, have someone knock at the door. Jasper would jump up on visitors and the more we shouted at him the louder the barking became. Jasper suffers from separation anxiety he hates us leaving him. When we walk him he wants to take on all the big dogs so the walking experience causes us anxiety and it is not very pleasant for him. So......we knew we had to correct the behavior. Calling in Bark Busters was the best decision. We went with them after reading testimonials and knowing the business has been well established for 28 years. It took a few hours to start training both Jasper and us to correct the behavior that was leading to the barking. The simple command of "bah" has replaced our screaming "shut up", yelling his name and often giving him a treat to stop the barking and bad behavior. It is repetitive but easy to do. I was really worried that it would be a rigorous training regime that we could not possible keep up with. We were pleasantly surprised. We just need to be consistent and we are now seeing big changes. There are still some issues but that is because Jasper is still not quite there yet. Continued training with us will see us get on top of this. Philip was great and down to earth, very easy to work with and not at all reprimanding for the way we have addressed or not addressed Jasper's behavior. Philip was positive and reassuring. Philip also gave a holistic approach to Jasper's behavior giving us information on diet, surroundings, history of dog behaviors etc. That was great to hear about to put it all into prospective. Jasper was relaxed with Philip and we felt confident after Philip left that we could do this and see results. We highly recommend Bark Busters.

Baymax loved Neil from the beginning. He came over to say hi which he would not normally do. Baymax responded sooo amazingly we were able to get a lead on him very quickly. He is usually a fairly stand offish dog and almost scared of contact and slow to approach. This was solved after our first visit. Due to his being a Maremma Baymax barks alot but now the local foot traffic have even commented that he barks once or twice then stops. We are so please with how easy and non aggressive this was. It was good for Baymax and good for us. Neil was amazing.

Instant results. I feel like I have a brand new dog to fall in love with all over again! Highly recommend

I was very happy with the training received. Philip was clear, confident and very supportive of us humans as well as Keira and Bella. It was so encouraging to see Keira learning and making the connections - and her behavior changing as we worked.
