Philippa dealt with Barking, Chewing, Digging, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall
While it's been a week since Winston and I had our first session the changes have been great. The main reason for seeing Philippa was Winston's barking and this has reduced dramatically, I'm able to control this very quickly and easily. Winston is also good now with opening the baby gates and doors to other areas of the house, he now sits and waits for me to say yes. We do still need to do work on this when he's excited and we have visitors, especially is Aunty and cousins who are just as excited to see him. Winston is a a cocker who wants what he wants so recall, jumping and mouthing are something we still need to work on but I'm confident that we'll ace these as well with Philippa's support.
Trainer note from Philippa
Lovely to be able to help Winston a 5 month old Cocker Spaniel with his behavior and helping reduce unnecessary barking. I look forward to supporting you in training in the future. Keep up the good work!

I am surprised at how quickly the training was effective. I was at my wits end with my dog and really needed a solution. Honey took to the training straight away and by the end of the lesson, had changed some of her ways. Philippa was lovely and very informative. I would highy recommend her services.

Philippa is amazing! She understood our concerns and explained, in plain English, the reasons why and how to deal with them. She is always available for questions and advice.
Her techniques and expertise are valuable and truly work. We're still very early in our training but we are seeing signs of improvement!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and Bark Busters Home Training.

Phillipa was fantastic on the day teaching a totally different way of training my Pomeranians. It’s so easy it has become an every day part of life. Phillippa’s calm and positive nature was a breath of fresh air. Training was at my pace and nothing like puppy school where you do this, this and this etc. I would highly recommend Phillippa and Bark Busters to anyone.

Philippa dealt with Pulling
Hi Philipa. Colin is going really good. His walking is about 85 percent better. t's early days though. His reaction to other dogs has been great. No barking at them, just a slight pull, but we and are working on that and we won't let him off the hook. It's so much easier to walk him and he is much more relaxed. Thank you again for your knowledge and information.
Trainer note from Philippa
Great to hear that Colin the lovely Cavoodle is learning to walk on a loose lead beside you and not reacting to other dogs. More enjoyable walks for everyone. I am glad to be of help. Keep up the good training.

I couldn’t be happier with the service we received and the outcome for our dog Kevin. I was amazed how effective the adjustments we were shown have worked and how quickly they have helped change some of his bad behaviours. I’d strongly recommend Philippa to anyone who is having any problems with their dog, as our experience was great!
