Reviews & Testimonials For Philippa Dakin

Very pleased to see immediate results during our initial Training session, and ongoing improvement in the 3 days since. Written information and training aids provided have been very helpful. Our Trainer was professional, friendly and willing to explain strategies to help my children also understand so that training is consistent for our 9 month old spoodle puppy, Toby. Wishing we had contacted Bark Busters sooner!!

We were very much looking forward to being trained by Philippa and were not disappointed. She was thorough and clear and not at all judgemental. Brie took to the training very well and is already more responsive and relaxed now she doesn't have to 'work above her pay-grade'. While we are thrilled with the improvement so far, we realise that there is more work to do. We are committed to honing our training skills and setting aside some dedicated training time each day. We know a small effort on our part will translate to and even more relaxed and happier little dog. Thank you Philippa and Bark Busters. We couldn't have got this far without the training you provided.

Philippa was so refreshing I feel like we have good direction she was able to fill in the missing gaps and give us the confidence in taking control

Excellent trainer, kind, professional addressed the issues

Phillippa explained everything very clearly and we love the way issues are dealt with from the dogs point of view. Hester and I enjoyed the training. We've had noticibale results in expecially door behaviour and staying off the coach in the first lesson and look forward to continue with Philippa.

Very friendly and helpful.

Philippa is so professional , but friendly and approachable. Monty, my husband and I all warmed to her immediately. She answered all,our questions, and hopefully, set Monty and us on the path to good puppy manners.......we realise this depends on us doing the right thing by Monty. This isn't always easy, but we're trying. We feel we can ring Philippa at any time with any behavioural problems, which is a comfort to us. We look forward to our next appointment.

I found Philippa to be very friendly & professional. A caring person & understanding of dogs.

Philippa was absolutely incredible, her knowledge about dogs behaviour and training was second to none. We have seen immediate results with our dog Wolf and can not wait for further training sessions to improve his behaviour before the birth of our daughter.

Philippa is a great teacher. Learning how dogs think was very helpful. I can see the training working already, but consistency and patience are key. As a first time dog owner I thoroughly recommend Bark Busters.

It was great having Phillipa out to train us all ! Although Sophie went very shy and didn't misbehave at all whilst Phillipa was nearby she did start to show her normal behaviour when our other dog entered the room. We got given some clear concise training tips and we all as a family are implementing them and seeing a bit of success and it's only day two after training.

Philippa Dakin is a God-send. My daughter has two border collies x Maltese, as well as two girls and a baby! We needed reassurance and training. The psychology of dogs was explained simply and effectively. We were given easy-to-follow instructions, notes and an action sheet. Everything was positive, encouraging and gave hope for the future. We have had a second lesson and we are getting so much better at lead work, recall and attentiveness training. We have learned so much, even to keep them in a safe place, training everyday and appropriate toys to keep their active minds happy. Thank you Philippa. Our life is better organised, more peaceful and each time we have more hope and joy for the future. Love the idea of a lifetime guarantee and knowing help is at hand. Also love the idea of training at home in their own environment.
