Reviews & Testimonials For Shauna Hoey

We were very impressed with Shauna. Her advice was all sensible & she had a calm & patient attitude & a sense of humour. We are continuing with the training exercises &, on the whole, are seeing improvements with our dog.

Shauna was immediately friendly and put us at ease as we were very aware that the training was more for us humans than our gorgeous Bear dog. As Bear is a recent adoption addition to our family we wanted to better understand his body language and needs. Mainly his random dislike to certain dogs but love of others and how to teach him lead etiquette instead of pulling. We've had one session with Shauna, and suffice to say Bear is already making strides of improvement as we are better equipped to communicate our requirements to him. Shauna was informative and very prepared for the elements we'd requested help with, her techniques are kind and clear for the dog & Bear instantly respected her. We were certain she was magic! A true dog whisperer. It was extremely useful and fascinating to learn about the differences in food options and how they affect your dog / different body language signals / wording that helps humans be clear to dogs etc. We can't wait for our next session and the group walks. We already highly recommend Shauna after just one session! Thanks Shauna and Bark Busters, from Becki, Easton, Harry, Jamie and of course Bear!

Just brilliant. I had got to the stage where I didn't want to go out for walks with Digger. Shauna has now given me the confidence to go walking with him. She was so approachable, made me feel relaxed. I loved the way Shauna would model strategies so that I could see how it could be done. Thank you Shauna

Shauna is a fantastic trainer and has helped both Roman and I so much. Roman loves her and we love the training on the group walks.

Our first session with Shauna was fantastic. Shauna is so knowledgable and patient and knows all the tricks to get your dog to respond in the right way. We're made sure the whole family were present for the session and Shauna was great at interacting with us all including the kids. We have a long way to go and lots of work to put in but with Shauna to guide us we are confident we can get on track with our gorgeous but dominent puppy. Thanks so much Shauna looking forward to our next session.

We rescued Dottie at around 16-18 months old. She had been so badly treated that we couldn't do anything with her. We had no control of her, we got bitten frequently, she attacked everything, we couldn't hoover! Since having training from Shauna Dottie is a completely different dog now. Shauna is brilliant with her and has taught us the correct training techniques which we continue with daily. She is also always available via email to give us advice which we are so grateful for.

Excellent! After one session was able to take my very large and strong German shepherd puppy for his first lead walk around the streets without being dragged along behind him. Very happy with the results of the first session. Still a few more issues to deal with but confident they can be addressed next time.

Shauna is amazing! So friendly and really puts our dog, and also us, at ease. It's great to know that she is on the end of the phone and she is always happy to offer advice. The group walks have been so beneficial. You can see that Shauna really cares for the animals she helps. She has such a natural ability to get them to do what she asks. 

Shauna was amazing. She made complete sense and has really helped me speak Jago's language. The improvement is remarkable in such a short space of time. Thank you!

We re-homed Rosie at the start of the year and she came with Bark Busters life time support. Shauna helped with a smooth transition of houses along with Crate training, Separation anxiety and recall. The training was individual and tailored to the needs of Rosie, our family and existing dog. The training has resulted us to have a happy dog who knows her boundaries but can enjoy a full and varied life as well as making me feel confident to deal with certain situations.

Shauna was brilliant! She listened to our fears and concerns about our dog's behaviour and got straight to work on finding solutions. The results were instant. Buddy's well behaved, we are less stressed about his behaviour and we feel more confident and in control of our lovely little dog.

Shauna called before arrival Sat and discussed my dogs problems, my dogs background How she acts in certain situations What she likes & dislikes Shauna then introduced herself to my dog and we put training in to action, Shauna was very clear with what I needed to do in certain situations and left a hand written action plan for me to refer back to. My dog is responding really well with the exercises we have been given, I have needed to email Shauna as we had a situation that I didnt know how to deal with, she kindly mailed back with suggestions. My house is allot calmer already for the training and its only been a few days in, we look forward to our next training session. I would recommend their services to anyone so long as you are prepared to put in the training each day. My dog is happier too having rules and boundaries with lots of praise, Shauna also suggested puzzles for my dog, she loves this, a happier home all round so far so good. We wish we called them earlier. Money well spent
