Alex dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Separation anxiety

With a Baby on the way we sort Alex out to help with our over excited one and a half year old Beagle Spaniel Cross (Lockdown Puppy). Archie was a little wary of him at first but quickly took to Alex no problem. We were taken through a number of training drills to help with Archies 'Door manners' and shown how to effectively correct bad behaviour without having to raise our voice. We thought Archie was a major Lead puller but it turns out with a longer lead and a little bit of technique he barely pulls at all. I've watched countless YouTube videos on how to stop pulling but they don't explain why they are doing what they do, this is where having a 1 to 1 session really helps as Alex is able to explain why what he is doing actually works, then if you know why it works its easier for you to tell if you are doing it wrong when the teacher isn't there. Alex also highlighted a number of general changes to our behaviour to become better passive leaders to Archie. Again stuff that you just wouldn't think to do or stuff that I haven't seen come up in dog training TV shows or YouTube videos. We've had just the one session but have seen big improvements already, Thank you Alex

Alex dealt with Hyperactivity, Pulling

It’s been almost 2 weeks since the training and just one visit has made a difference. There’s no more lead pulling, Lennie is more calm with continued training and noticed he is less aggressive towards strangers. Alex has been amazing and given some really good advice. I would recommend Bark Busters.

Trainer note from Alex
Really enjoyed meeting Lennie, and I was delighted with how well he did on the first session. Looking forward to catching up with them all in the New Year

Alex dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall, Separation anxiety

Alex kept in contact us he let us know when he was on his way and when he arrived. so we had time to put Shadow in a different room so he could meet her before training started. I would highly recommend him It was his 1st visit he helped Shadow how to learn and wait whilst we was in the kitchen at the door whilst we pretended to chop food up with a tasty sausage :) Helped with a few issues we are having with a young pup and we learnt a lot as well now to practice it :) Looking forward to to the next visits Thanks Alex we got time to relax after your visit as Shadow was very worn out

Alex dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling

It was lovely meeting Alex, after our first meeting we felt very confident that we can help our loving Tilly. Alex was great & we would certainly recommend him to other worried dog owners. We are looking forward to working more with Alex forward the foreseeable future.

Alex dealt with Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling

Alex is helping our Vizsla puppy (Daisy) get up to speed with her training. Daisy is very high energy and rules the roost at home! Working with Alex, Daisy is already improving and beginning to listen more. She’s responding well to his methods and with a few more sessions, I think Daisy is going to be brilliant. I’d really recommend Alex, he’s give us help & sound advice with her food, leads, sleep, alongside all the work he’s doing with her training. He’s very knowledgeable and Daisy actually listens to his methods - which is a big relief (as we have had previous trainers that weren’t able to help with Daisy) Thanks Alex, looking forward to seeing our girl improve even more :)

Alex was great with Iggy who responded well and quickly and enjoyed his lessons. Alex is extremely knowledgeable and made us understand the world from a dogs perspective which was really beneficial

Alex dealt with Puppy management

Met with Alex and we went through several exercises together with my Golden Retriever puppy, Penny. She responded well and I'll continue to practice with her until our next visit from Alex. Alex explained things clearly before then going through the exercises to show me how it's done, before I then had a go myself. The initial lesson was very hands on which worked perfectly and I'm looking forward to seeing Alex again so we can continue training Penny. Alex is clearly knowledgable and I've got full confidence in his abilities to train Penny with me. The exercises we did most definitely instilled more confidence in me too.

Trainer note from Alex

I love working with puppies. Partly because I can watch them grow up to be well behaved dogs and partly, because I am able to go home after a couple of hours to my 2 older dogs, unlike their owner who lives with them full time. As I have said before, there really is no quick fix with a puppy. For me they are puppies until about 6 months old. Then they enter their teenage phase, but by 12 - 18 months they will be a well behaved adult if we get things right. Penny was certainly full of energy, but after just over 2 hours she was absolutely shattered and she was fast asleep when I left. Look forward to catching up with Penny and her family in a few weeks

Alex dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall, Other

Alex was so reassuring and addressed all our concerns in an easy and very effective professional way. Was worth the money and time , even though we are still working on some issues. Everything was done efficiently without long winded ‘round the houses’ explanations, which only overload your brain and memory. The training advice was emailed quickly and is very useful and easy to understand…. Along with the reasons Holly acts like she does. We would recommend the training/therapy to anyone.

Alex dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Separation anxiety

Great lesson with Alex. He managed to understand Max´s needs and issues almost instantly, and also adapted the lesson to his most immediate needs. The techniques that were used were clear, effective and tailored to Max. The main issues that we discussed were front door anxiety, and also over excitement when socialising. Already been one week reinforcing these, and we are seeing progress. I feel so much more relaxed knowing that we have this support. Would highly recommend Alex and Bark Busters.

Alex dealt with Pulling

Rosie made positive progress on the day

- D.T, Manchester (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Alex
Rosie is a lovely dog, but she used to get extremely excited when people entered her home and she used to pull her owner all over the place when she went for a walk. By the end of the initial session, she was listening much better to her owner and her heel work had massively improved. Can’t wait to catch up with them both soon.

Alex dealt with Pulling, Other

Alex was great, very knowledgeable and put me & Storm at ease with his techniques. I was nervous walking Storm in case another dog was about but since changing his harness (as advised by Alex) and some other things, he’s been great to walk on lead which is what I wanted to achieve.
