Bark Busters UK Reviews 

After our first meeting with Lynn I would just like to say how very impressed we are with bark busters. Lynn was very polite and professional in helping us to start to train our puppy correctly and we look forward to working with her in the future

Can't praise tom enough from bark busters . He made every thing so easy . With in the first 2 minutes of he meeting our dog he had them doing things we've been unable to do but he also sat down with us and made every thing clear of how the training would work. He got my 4 year old shocked walking on a lead with out pulling which is something iv always struggled with .my mobility isn't great so you can imagine how happy it made me to be able to walk my dog with out worrying he would pull me over or hurt me. And our other dog is still only 8 months old so teaching him new things but Tom really had both there attention he truly is amazing at what he does. Looking forward to our next training session to see what else we can learn.

After 1 visit, I've noticed the difference in Lola, still got a long way to go but I know we will get there, knowing I have help, feel less stressed 😊

Tom was friendly and helpful . Very patient and I’m sure it will help

Sydney was a great trainer for Poppy, she helped us realise what we were doing wrong to make Poppy feel Anxious… she gave us the knowledge to walk Poppy with confidence so she could calm her reactivity.. it’s early days but the walks we’ve done have been amazing so far .. poppys doing so well were very happy

Gavin was really informative and it was nice to have a trainer come to the house and not feel judged by our dogs behaviour. We've been contemplating raw diets for our dogs for a while but with Gavin's advice he gave us the confidence that it was the right thing to do for our dogs. Gavin took the time to really drill into the problems we are having and has made us a follow up appointment for 7 weeks time to review where were at with the training. Already were seeing progress, our crazy EBT has been nackered all day from the mental stimulation of training and our pointer we managed to take on a nice walk to the shop with her new harness that was provided to us by Gavin. She was still pulling slightly but the best walk we've had with her in a long, long time and I'm sure with more training everyday it's only going to get better and we're looking forward to showing Gavin our progress we will have hopefully made in 7 weeks time! Thanks Gavin 😊 Laura, Ash, Casper & Rey 🐾

Bark busters were recommended by my vet as my staffy has a few behaviour issues, Gina was amazing and took me through all the things to correct my dog and in a few days she’s listening and is so much calmer, just amazing

We were struggling with are 12 week old puppy. Fortunately we were sent Lee from Barkbusters. He was very helpful, and gave us a lot of helpful hints and tips, from dealing with bad behaviour to diet and nutrition.

I had a trainer come round to try and help me with my dogs aggression towards others dogs, he spent 2hrs with me and in that time he offered very little in the way of training or advice, there was uncomfortable silence’s during this time and the only time that was broke was when I spoke again to offer further incite into the few issues I was having and what I was doing, hoping for some input or guidance from my trainer, but unfortunately it never came, just trying to get my dog to settle around him and stop barking never happened during this time, he tried giving her treats by throwing them on the floor and that was his only input, we went for a short walk where the trainer got to see how reactive she was when she spotted a dog and still no guidance was incoming, when we returned home he gave me one piece of advice which was to try to close the gap on other dogs whilst treating her before or if she didn’t react . This was the only advice he gave before leaving with his £450 for doing nothing other than to give one piece of advice. I received an email the following day asking me to follow the advice and to try to get her to settle around strangers, the 2nd part of this, he failed to get my dog settled around him and offered no advice on how I should do this, so yes forgive me for feeling let down by somebody who called themselves a professional.

I am quite disappointed in the experience. I met with the behaviourist and she was quite rude and stern. I am not a person that minds stern and straight forward communication but she kept interrupting me and also she did not believe that my dog was afraid of traffic and once the situation escalated worse and worse she was very surprised that the dog is afraid. I feel like you need to give the owner the benefit of the doubt that they are understanding their dog. She did help with me learning to communicate with my dog better, but at the same time she made the underlying issue why I contacted them in the fiest place, worst. Now I am in a place where I have a dog who is absolutely terrified of traffic, much worse than he was ag the beginning.

Anytime I had to call for progress or called with a new problem I got an unpleasant reponse how I am not managing the situation correctly or why did I let that happen in the first place. I understand that the dog is a dog and I am not blaming the dog, I just need help in managing the situation and advice what to do next. Also, there is no need to tell me off, I am a person that understands what is being said to her, so a calm explanation is enough. Life is rarely about perfect situations.

In the end I gave up on calling the behaviorist because she made me feel very bad and anxious about calling her and like I was schoolgirl in second grade being told off by a teacher. She did not really explain the reasoning behind the advice she was giving which is how I learn as well. Now I got a new behaviorist thought a different company who is wonderful and is taking an individual approach to our worries and I finally feel heard. I don't think the 500 pounds was worth it. I feel like having a behaviorist who listens and supports a person is very important as this is a scary and very stressful situation for the owner and it's why they reached out in the first place. I would be devastated to think that maybe people loose trust in behaviourist overall and are left alone with their dog who would benefit from a persons guidance who understands dog behaviour better than the owner who has less understanding of dog behaviour in general.

We have a large 14 month old rescue cockapoo whose behaviour since we got him ( 3 weeks) has been very challenging. We are not experienced dog owners and have been told by a groomer and Dogsitter that our dog is aggressive and possibly “wired incorrectly.’
We contacted Barkbusters and Kirsty agreed to come and help very quickly. It was amazing watching her work and how effective her techniques are. He no longer jumps on the furniture, is much calmer with visitors and after some initial lead training, now pulls far less. I can’t recommend Kirsty highly enough for her calm, professional and very reassuring methods. We are aware that we are at the start of our journey but feel much happier now that Kirsty will be there with us. By the way Kirsty assured us that our dog isn’t aggressive and is wired correctly!!

My trainer is teaching both me and my dogs. She has given me knowledge and guidance and l know she is there if l need her. Only had one lesson so far and working on the plan given but already seeing results .
Highly recommend them

After just one session with Sydney, our 10 month old cockapoo was already vastly improved in her walking and her excessive barking. Sydney took the time to really get to know us and Minnie, and then gave us some invaluable advice, which completely changed the way we walk Minnie, so walks are now much more relaxing and calming. She has also greatly improved Minnie’s anxiety which has reduced her barking. We are continuing to work with Sydney, who is always responsive to our contact, sends helpful tips and advice through regularly, and we are about to meet with her for our third training session. Thanks Sydney x

Very understanding as to Gracie’s issues. Explained in great detail how to solve the problems.

Tom was patient, so full of knowledge and time for our questions, gave us so many tools to use. We have already seen a massive difference with Lenny. Would recommend any time

Gavin was very friendly and competent giving us actionable tips to improve our dog’s behaviour.

Absolutely life-changing three hours! Pups no longer bark incessantly. They sit, they wait, they don't rush to the door, or out the door (barking about it!) They come when called, they've remembered their toilet training involves grass, not carpet. My son is stricter about sitting on the sofa than I am. (It's quite funny because they slink off the sofa when he walks in, and sneak back on when he leaves - but don't tell him!) My only regret is that I didn't contact Kirsty and Bark Busters sooner. I'm not easily impressed, but wholehearted recommend Kirsty to anyone with a dog. Based on what she achieved in three hours, she could probably have my pups performing to Crufts Gold Medal standards in a week!

Kirsty is very knowledgeable and lovely I feel we have gained some great advice & tips although I won’t be implementing all of them as they don’t all suit my lifestyle at present but none the less very handy to know & hopefully we can get the best out of him & I will have a lovely companion.

The time that was spent talking about things .
And hopefully the train.

I feel I have help from Tom if I have a problem I can call or leave a message and he gets back to me promptly then training I get has been helpful and if something hasn't worked there is always an alternative
