Bark Busters UK Reviews 

From the moment Lee the trainer walked in our house, he worked is magic on our 9mth old puppy. I could not believe the difference in such a short time, absolutely amazing and such a nice guy. Not only training our pup but training my son and myself how to control and keep up the training .

Kirsty came to visit us 5 days ago, to begin training with our anxiety riddled 9 month old cockapoo. I was a little worried that this training style wouldn’t suit us but after just 5 days, Reggie is coming on in leaps and bounds and I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel! Kirsty had a wealth of knowledge to share and was really lovely and down to earth. We are looking forward to the next 12 months!x

This was Kristy’s second visit. She’s so reassuring and puts us right where we’re going wrong. She’s easy to talk to and listens to us. She has a calming effect on all of us.

Absolutely excellent. Kirsty is amazing and you both work together with clear instruction and support.
Can not fault anything and seriously recommend Bark Busters who in turn teach you to understand yourself and your dog🐾💖🐾♥️🐾❤️.

Alex was so good explaining everything and showing me things and how to handle situations my dog was like a different dog but its been amazing to learn what is best and how to handle situations and approach things correctly I felt very much at ease with Alex and definitely recommend the services and advise it really does help with knowing what is best and how to handle situations training yourself and the dog is a must so glad I got in touch

From the first phone call with Alex we were really confident that he understood the issues we were experiencing with our 10 year old rescue miniature Schnauzer, Maggie. Our first lesson was very enlightening, enabling us to better understand both dogs' behaviours and how our behaviour influences theirs. Alex provided us with some no-nonsense advice and demonstrated the behaviours we should be expecting from the dogs. He gave us a good deal of confidence in our own abilities to work towards our desired outcomes without being judgmental about our current practices. The follow up notes were very comprehensive and were an excellent reflection of the time he spent with us, recapping the techniques to focus on and how we could measure success.

We had Tom come about a week ago and he was amazing! He was so kind and professional! I was so worried I would feel judged by my dog’s behaviour but Tom was so assuring that it’s completely normal for my dog's age! Not once did I feel judged! He helped me understand why my dog behaves the way he does and by the end of the session it was as if I had a completely different dog! I have continued doing everything Tom has showed me and just in a week my dog has changed for the better! Couldn’t thank Tim enough!

Kirsty was amazing in making me understand how my over affection with our dog was causing her to feel protective. I have tried some of the passive relationship control tonight and even though I find it hard it really worked. As she is a rescue dog Kirsty said we have a clean sheet as we know nothing about her previous life. Which was refreshing to hear as I know Kirsty will help us get Jenzi to a great place. Looking forward to our next session.

Very professional and empathetic advice with practical tips for success

I was extremely disappointed with my experience with Bark Busters. After paying £500, we only had one initial meeting with the trainer, and the rest of the “support” amounted to emailed leaflets that felt very generic and not tailored to our dog’s specific behaviour issues at all. For such a high cost, I expected ongoing guidance, practical sessions, and proper follow-up, not just basic documents that could easily be found online.
The training approach didn’t feel personalised, and there was very little hands-on help to actually implement the techniques in real-life situations. Communication after the first visit was minimal, and it felt like we were left to figure everything out ourselves.
Overall, the service was extremely poor value for money and did not deliver what was implied during the sales process. Paying £500 for one visit and a set of emailed leaflets is simply not acceptable. Based on our experience, I would strongly advise others to avoid at all costs.

I had to give 1 star but I wish I could not give any at all

Brilliant trainer. Gavin made the session really interesting and enjoyable.

Emma took time to ask lot of questions of what kind of issues we have and to meet my dog to see her behaviour. She gave lots of ideas what could be done and helped me get started with some practices. Her approach has worked and we already have better communication and relationship. Emma has been in touch to check on progress and she sent more information for me to read and recap to exercises I need to do. Emma's approach is very professional and very happy to continue working with her. Recommend, if you need help with your dog!!

Absolutely brilliant...Already my husband and I have noticed a real positive change in Foggys behaviour all thanks to Gina. Gina was lovely with us and especially Foggy. Everything from proper nutrition to commands and the barking and nipping
Would highly recommend and thankyou so much

Sarah made everything easy to understand and quiet clear were I have been going wrong .

Sarah was very helpful and explained everything clearly.

Just amazing, Lynn managed to help immensely on her first visit, looking forward to the second visit.

Gavin was really patient, understanding and non judgemental. He gave us time and allowed us to talk through our issues and concerns then helped us find solutions. We were worried about the 1st session but relaxed quickly and am grateful for the support and learning given. The rationale behind decisions also really helped us to make more informed decisions. Gavin made the session a safe space and was able to relate and stop some of the dog parents guilt. Within a week we've noticed a difference both in our dogs and how we understand their behaviour.

Shauna Is very knowledgeable and attentive to both me and my puppy. I have a lot of experience with dogs but I still learnt a lot from my appointment with Shauna. I definitely highly recommend puppy classes no matter how good your pup is, they and your family will always benefit from training.

Had a very good lesson with Kirsty. Listened to our concerns with puppy Milo and was able to explain why Milo was acting in certain ways.
Showed us different exercises to do with Milo to help.
Milo felt comfortable throughout the training and responded well.
All instructions were sent by email afterwards to ensure we were able to carry on our training and also extra information on diet and tips have been sent since.

Working with Trainer Emma Barrett has been brilliant! We have seen great improvement with our pup from our initial session. Our main issues were solved after following Emma's advice, we practiced everyday and within a few weeks the problem behaviours we were seeing were gone! We are very happy with the progress we have made, and also to have learnt about how to best care for our pup so he can be happy, healthy, and we can enjoy every moment with him.
