Reviews & Testimonials For Gavin Chambers

We thought that the training required was more about helping us to have the best relationship with our dog. There were a few minor issues and we explained all this to Gavin. He listened to what we said, gave us advice on understanding how our dog thinks and then gave us training and simple strategies to help us have the best possible relationship with our dog. He went above and beyond to provide further information to help us on our journey with our dog. Gavin has excellent interpersonal skills and also quickly built a rapport with us and our dog who absolutely loved him. We cannot speak highly enough of Gavin and are grateful for all his help. We would thoroughly recommend Gavin to anyone who is looking for a dog trainer.

We reached out to Bark Busters for help with our very boisterous, demanding dog and his sister whose behaviour had started to take over our home, with lots of barking, pulling, and general chaos! From the moment Gavin arrived, we felt at ease. Even though it was an evening appointment, he never rushed. He took his time to observe, ask questions, and most importantly, explain why we were seeing the behaviours we were seeing and why he was asking us to try different commands and actions. That really helped me buy into the programme. Gavin provided us with a personal written report, tailored specifically to us and our dogs, along with a pack of supportive documents to guide us between sessions. What really stood out was how understanding he was, there was no judgement, just reassurance and practical advice. He recognised how easily things can escalate into chaos and gave us the tools and confidence to start turning things around. We’ve only had our first session, but I already feel so relieved that we reached out for help. We’re looking forward to showing Gavin the progress we know we can make before he returns in 5 weeks!

Gavin's visit to my mum's house to work with her dogs was invaluable. He was professional and knowledgeable, providing a good clear outline of the programme, explaining the science behind food whilst giving ongoing training tips to manage the behaviours of two protective small Jackapoos. The work done outside to start the training was well done and manageable for my mum. Learning to talk dog was interesting. Gavin's provision of a bespoke programme and knowing he is only on the end of an email is welcome. Mum's working hard and at day 3 there is definitely a change in behaviour. I would recommend Gavin.

Gavin was fantastic. Put us at ease, was fun, made understanding what needed to change make sense and generally seems like a nice helpful guy. Improving already with Ayce and hopefully this will continue

Gavin is lovely and very thorough and explains everything really well,shows you how to do things and things that are not helping , we've started the training as advised and my dog is doing really well so , he's 18mths so learning well ,lots of advice so thankyou definitely would recommend gavins help

So pleased with Gavins advice today. We started early as have a new puppy and Gavin gave us great starter advice and how to progress with her. I feel more confident now going forward and am looking forward to our next lesson.

Gavin was really kind and understanding of our problem. Our dog is very nervous and he was so mindful of this for the whole session and in everything he put together for our training. He put me at ease and took plenty of time to get to know me, the dog, and our rather stressful situation. It's clear he really cares about dogs and their owners. In the couple of weeks since we met, I've been implementing the techniques he taught me. I am definitely seeing improvements in myself and the dog, and we are making progress each day. We are looking forward to our next session!

It went so much better than we thought it would. Tia is a very nervous dog that we have never been able to have downstairs whilst we had visitors, as she would spend the whole time upstairs barking until they left. Gavin explained to us why she was feeling she needed to do this and how to help her through it. We have already noticed a difference and know that with consistency ,we can do this. It will be baby steps but with the support we feel she will be a happier dog. Thank you.

Gavin was very informative and guided through the plan. He opened our eyes to areas we hadn’t thought of. He provided reassurance on normal puppy behaviours and gave us tips and training tactics for development with a further session booked to help with further needs! So glad we found Gavin!

Gavin was great! Clear instructions & information given, he went through everything with us and we feel much more confident now going forward

Gavin was very helpful and informative and we saw a change of behaviour almost immediately

Gavin was very knowledgable, very friendly and very helpful. He gave us some good advice about feeding and various other things relating to dog training. He was very helpful when showing us how to use the Waggwalker Harness. We can already see some improvement when using the new harness. It was a pleasure working with Gavin.
