I can’t recommend Laura highly enough. We were referred to Laura by friends after we saw fantastic results with their dog, and our experience working with Laura has been excellent.
Laura has taken the time to deeply understand the specific needs and concerns we had for our dogs, and tailored a training plan to help us address these. In a short time, Laura has given us the language and tools we need to communicate effectively with our dogs. As a result the dogs are calmer, much better behaved, less anxious and receptive.
To be clear, training your dogs is a long-term commitment that involves regular work with the dogs (there’s no quick fix, and Laura made this clear to us in our first session), but the difference with the techniques and approach Laura teaches us is that it’s effective, not reliant on always having treats, doesn’t involve physical punishment, and focuses on your role as a leader to your dog, helping them feel relaxed, confident, and secure. What’s more, Laura is there every step of the way to help us practice and embed the techniques, checking in at each visit to help us (this is so different to previous trainers we’ve worked with who don’t follow up beyond the initial sessions).
We’ve loved Laura’s creative approach to some of the personality ‘quirks’ of our dogs (we have a Staffie and a Boxer, so both very headstrong), and getting to see the great parts of their personalities come through as we’ve worked with them.
Thanks Laura!

Hi Ben, Thank you for taking the time to complete the review. I am so glad that you are happy with the results that the Bark Busters Training brings. Whatever behaviours exist it is never just an overnight fix and that is why I design a specific training program for each dog and am here for every step of the journey. As each dog is different then sometimes we have to think "outside of the box" and I enjoy the challenges that this brings just as much. The thing that brings great satisfaction for me, is when I return and see that the owners have been doing the Training and that the results are showing. Looking forward to our next session and keep up the good work.

My family and I cannot recommend Laura from Barkbusters enough to those having troubles with their dog. My family and I had the most difficult time finding a trainer for our furry family member until we found Laura. Despite being turned away by other 5-star trainers, Laura confidently took on the challenge and worked tirelessly with us until we saw the transformation we had been longing for in our rescue dog. The best thing about Laura is that she tailors her training specifically to your dog's unique personality and specific issues, ensuring remarkable results. We were blown away by her in-depth knowledge of dog training and her ability to give sound advice for any circumstance. Not only did she teach our dog good indoor and outdoor practices, lead control when walking and helped establish a healthy relationship between our dog and family, but she also gave us the tools to continue training, so we could continue to see success in the future. Laura's work ethic and passion for helping dogs truly reflect how much she cares for all of her clients. She always makes sure that our training sessions are never rushed and she doesn't leave until every single question has been answered. Even after our training sessions ended, she continued to follow up with us to see if there were any further improvements that could be made. Our relationship with our dog has improved drastically and we couldn't be more grateful. If you're looking for a trainer that is patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about your dog's wellbeing, Laura is the person to turn to - we promise you won't be disappointed!
Trainer note from Laura
Hi Aaron, Thank you for taking the time to complete the review. As you quite rightly state, all dogs have their own personality which brings unique behavior's. This is why the Bark Busters training method takes this into account and is not a "one size fits all" solution. This type of scenario brings the greatest satisfaction for me. It is always challenging, fun and rewarding, especially when I return and see the transformation in behavior's which you have achieved through keeping up with the personalised training plan It has been a pleasure working with you all and I am sure you will keep up the good work.

We have used Laura for our 2 girl Cocker Spaniels. After just the first appointment we saw some great changes in their demeanour and how we all interacted as a family. We have now had about 4 sessions and the girls are so much better behaved and obedient. When we have had any queries in between sessions Laura was always happy for us to phone her and sort any issues out.
Lauras commitment and ability has certainly helped change us all for the better. We would highly recommend Laura and the Barkbusters system for any and all dog behavioural issues.
Thank you Laura😀
Trainer note from Laura
Hi Rod, Thank you for taking the time to complete the wonderful review. When there are multiple humans and dogs in the family unit, one of the most important things to establish is that our fur babies know their status within it and how to interact with everyone. By following the Bark Busters bespoke training plan, you have been able to quickly correct the girls' behaviours so that you have a harmonious household once again. It has been a pleasure working with you all and I am sure you will keep up the good work. Laura B

25th June 2022 - Philippa Dakin
Philippa was fantastic with Rebel. We learnt a lot in a short amount of time and Rebel responded well to Philippa. Now that our commands are consistent Rebel is responding much better.
Philippa followed up the next day to see how things were going.
We had used Bark Busters a long time ago and knew that we would be in good hands. Philippa didn't disappoint, and her knowledge was extensive and her love of dogs was obvious.We would highly recommend Philippa and Bark Busters to anyone requiring assistance with their dogs.
2nd November 2020 - Glen & Maureen Guelfi
Glen had our 8 month old kelpie, Bailey following commands within seconds of entering our front door. The whole experience was incredible to watch and has changed her behaviour within the first visit. We would recommend the training to anyone dealing with an unruly doggy. The ease of understanding and delivering the training has given us a big boost in confidence. Thank you Glen! Bren and Bec

Peter dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling
Our 18month old Rottweiler x, Elsa's barking was uncontrollable. After many failed attempts to stop her barking with expensive gadgets we were at our wits end. Finally a nuisance barking letter from the council prompted us to call Bark Busters. Peter was fantastic and we saw instant results with Elsa. A week into her training and we can't believe the results, she's like a new dog. She no longer barks at us and has stopped jumping on people. We are still monitoring her daytime barking and are really looking forward to Peter's follow up visit. The training techniques are simple and easy to follow. Definitely worth the cost and I have been recommending them to everyone. We can now have visitors over without worrying she will bark the whole time and annoy our guests by jumping on them. My partner and I are much less stressed out and so happy with the progress we've made so far. Peter even wrote a letter to the council detailing the training and the steps were taking to stop Elsa's nuisance barking. Thank you so much Peter!
Trainer note from Peter
Thank you Miri, It was a pleasure to help you with Elsa. As a Border Collie x Rottweiler she was very intelligent and learnt how to train you with barking to request you to act .Very smart. Keep the training going as dogs learn by consistency and association. Looking forward to our next visit to ensure the barking , jumping, requesting and any other behavioral issues are maintained, keeping her being a good girl.

Peter dealt with Aggression, Chewing, Jumping up, Pulling, Sibling rivalry
Diego our 3 year old Staffy came from a awful previous home which caused him to be quite fearful of pretty much everything. He was never focused always demanding for things to be on his terms like trying to run through the door when opening it as well as whining very loud if we left the house the room or even going to the bathroom without him, also demanding pats and to be on the lounge & the bed. He also was a big jumper as well as constant mouthing. I just know he is a great learner he picks up things well but I did not know really how to help him be calm, relaxed and happy which was my only goal at this point.
After finally deciding I would try bark busters (after spending hundreds with other trainers who did not work out) I am so thankful I did. Peter was great with Diego and I learnt so much from him I will be forever grateful. Within the first hour of peter being there Diego's house manners were beautiful, we even got him to stop running out of the door almost instantly and he has not tried to run out since which is a huge thing for us and great for when we have guests over. He also had a big test of all his new rules the day after I had seen Peter I had friends come over and he was so well behaved, did not jump once or try to mouth anyones hand to pat him. Overall I think it is so beyond worth the money also I am already getting so many compliments from my family and friends on how great is is being.
If you're still thinking about it I would say be open minded to the Bark Busters techniques and really just give it a go, your dog is worth it and they work!
