Alex came round and spent a great 3 hours with our puppy Norman. He took on board our feedback and was able to answer our questions clearly with great advice and tips for us to work on. Brilliant trainer, Norman took to him extremely well. Highly recommended.
Trainer note from Alex
I have worked with a lot of puppies over the past 2 years including a lot of first time puppy owners. Getting the basics right is very important. Lots of sleep and full tummies. Norman did really well and I’m going to enjoy supporting them as Norman grows up.

I am not a review writer. But Alex 100% deserves one! He came to work with ME & also my dog Rufus. I put me in capitals as it is me who did not have the right knowledge or tools to deal with some of Rufus’s behaviours. Examples- constant barking at any noise, destroying Mail, following me everywhere(even the loo????) going crazy at someone knocking on the front door(and I mean crazy) trying to control guests and me by barking over conversations until the guest gives in and sits so he can sit on them(on guard) and control. When I wrote to Alex to ask for Help I described Rufus as a idiot as he was acting like one??????? In just 3hours I can safely say that Alex has changed our lives. I can not express my gratitude for the transformation I can see in Rufus in not even one day. I have continued to use Alex’s methods and I am completely gobsmacked that Rufus is actually listening and obeying me. Moving forward, I am excited to see where this can go as Rufus is relaxed and it’s almost like he was waiting for this guidance and likes the boundaries, it was Me who didn’t know how. And it doesn’t involve shouting, screaming or giving in to Rufus. I can now see he isn’t a idiot at all. I was just not being clear about what I wanted or how to do it. Alex is a lovely man. There’s no judgement and I felt immediately comfortable . He explains everything clearly and he shares valuable knowledge giving clear instructions on how to deal with particular unwanted behaviours. Bottom line, if you need help with your ‘idiot’ and your reading this, don’t bother searching any further. Alex is open and honest, and offers further support if required. He also sends lots of info via email in relation to Diet etc. Thanks again Alex. Jo & Rufus!!!
Trainer note from Alex
Really enjoyed todays session and after a lot of barking at the start, Rufus started to listen to his Mummy. He also walked walked like a dream and apparently he used to pull like a train. He does get over excited when anybody knocks at the front door and some behavioural issues take longer to fix than others, but I’m confident they’ll get there. At the end of the session he was so much calmer and he was fast asleep when I left. keep up the good work!

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.

Alex dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Separation anxiety
We contacted Bark Busters to get some help with our very barky Beagle and her attention seeking, and also needed some pointers on loose-lead walking. Alex was great in taking the time to understand where we were at and what was the main triggers, before giving us some useful and practical training tools to deploy immediately. The simple explanations and targeted approach has had a huge impact after only a short period of time and we're grateful Alex at the end of the phone for advice and follow-up sessions!
Trainer note from Alex
Really enjoyed this session, although I admit that I do enjoy pretty much all of my sessions as I love what I do and I love that fact that dogs listen better and worry less. This session was no exception!
We do tend to get good results sooner rather than later, but follow up support is often required to ensure the owners stay on track. I look forward to catching up with them all in the not too distant future

Alex dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall, Sibling rivalry
Alex was excellent. Extremely knowledgable snd gave us some great tips so that Barney and Bruno can co exist together. He explained what the problem was and left us with things to practice. I am very happy with Alex and would recommend his services to anyone, very relaxed with the dogs and made us all feel relaxed too.
Trainer note from Alex
Both dogs did really well during the first session. It’s always interesting when working with multiple dogs as its not always the dog that the owner thinks is the problem. The route cause is often the dog that they think has less issues. Once we ascertain why dogs are behaving the way they are, we can use simple techniques to start to import and resolve the issues.

Alex dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity
Alex was extremely approachable and picked up on our requirements very quickly . He demonstrated thoroughly helpful techniques to help control Sophie's excitement . It was very useful for us to model these techniques with Alex and refine them . We saw immediately a good response from our dog .
We will continue to practise with Sophie and feel much happier that we will now see success .
Trainer note from Alex
“You can teach an old dog new tricks†and Sophie is a good example of this! She gets extremely excited when anybody came to their home, but with some simple techniques to follow, by the end of the first session, she was doing so much better. I’m really pleased with how the session went.

Alex is absolutely brilliant! He's was so helpful and clear and Maggie absolutely loved him. He taught us so much and the skills we've learnt are already starting to work on Maggie just a day later. We would 100% recommend him to any dog owner, he's great
Trainer note from Alex
I’ve met a lot of puppies over the past 12 months ranging from 8 weeks to 8 months. I really enjoy working with puppies, but they are not always easy, and not for the faint hearted!! But with time, effort and consistency, we always get results in the end. Maggie did really well as I’m confident she will grow up to be a well behaved adult.

Enjoyable 3 hours
Alex v informative.
Lola on proper best behaiviour, didnt exhibit any of the issues we have been having
Trainer note from Alex
Its often easier for me to make a dog listen as they haven’t spent time training me, but they have spent time training their owners. The session went really well and I can’t wait to catch up with them all soon
