Bark Busters UK Reviews 

Very understanding as to Gracie’s issues. Explained in great detail how to solve the problems.

Tom was patient, so full of knowledge and time for our questions, gave us so many tools to use. We have already seen a massive difference with Lenny. Would recommend any time

Gavin was very friendly and competent giving us actionable tips to improve our dog’s behaviour.

Absolutely life-changing three hours! Pups no longer bark incessantly. They sit, they wait, they don't rush to the door, or out the door (barking about it!) They come when called, they've remembered their toilet training involves grass, not carpet. My son is stricter about sitting on the sofa than I am. (It's quite funny because they slink off the sofa when he walks in, and sneak back on when he leaves - but don't tell him!) My only regret is that I didn't contact Kirsty and Bark Busters sooner. I'm not easily impressed, but wholehearted recommend Kirsty to anyone with a dog. Based on what she achieved in three hours, she could probably have my pups performing to Crufts Gold Medal standards in a week!

Kirsty is very knowledgeable and lovely I feel we have gained some great advice & tips although I won’t be implementing all of them as they don’t all suit my lifestyle at present but none the less very handy to know & hopefully we can get the best out of him & I will have a lovely companion.

The time that was spent talking about things .
And hopefully the train.

I feel I have help from Tom if I have a problem I can call or leave a message and he gets back to me promptly then training I get has been helpful and if something hasn't worked there is always an alternative

Gavin was very friendly which made the whole process very easy. Luckily, we had started on the right track with our Puppy but there were still items we could improve on. We were left with a list of actions and the instruction given means we are confident in what needs to be done.

We had a great experience with Emma. Our dog Stanley has taken well to all her tips and we’re getting there with our training plan.

The chat we had was very informative. I feel confident that I will be able to carry through the instructions.

I was having problems with my dog Alfie for instance constant barking at visitors coming to the home and making the experience really stressful for everyone, protective over people in the home and barking at anyone that came near, and I didn’t seem to have any control. Sarah came along and talked to me about having a better relationship with Alfie and basically educating me to have control so Alfie can start to respect me and listen to me which he hasn’t been doing previously. After about 3 hours he was a different dog! Even in that short time there was such a difference in him and I know that moving forward the training and consistency is going to make such a difference for Alfie and everyone else. Sarah is so knowledgeable and knows exactly what she is doing and made me feel that actually with persistence Alfie will change. I’m looking forward to our next session with Sarah.

Tom made the whole afternoon enjoyable n relaxing.
Very approachable and offered great help, tips and ideas.
All my dogs were relaxed and comfortable around him and it was like he'd seen them loads of times before. My rescue seem to be at ease aswell around him.
Tom's
Suggestions and ideas on how to do things do WORK, It was an amazing experience.
To have him help n guide us in tight direction
Highly recommended to my friends and leaving us with paper work so we could reflect and turn back 2 was excellent and very helpful
Tom also showed us things regarding nutrition around our dogs, we have looked into this and have tweeked thier diet and seem 2 be thriving on changes.
Was an eye opener on what actually goes into thier food.
Communication before visit was great too.

There was a lot to take in but it was well paced. Sydney gave us a different perspective on our dog’s behaviour and diet, and took her time to demonstrate effective ways to improve training. Has only been a day but we already feel there’s been an improvement. Recommended!

Lee was honest and full of good advice I would recommend Bark Busters and I am very grateful for his help.

Gavin was an amiable instructor so really took the time to get to know us and our dog. His guidance enabled us to address our dog’s barking issues almost overnight. It was almost miraculous.

Sarah came out on a walk with us and was very helpful with her training so Daisy could overcome her fear of noise. She has helped with the barking and I would say we were almost there such a relief as any noise in the garden and she would bark. Also we have changed her diet and that has helped also with her anxiety and we know now she is getting the correct nutrition.

I’m very disappointed with this puppy training package and feel it has been a waste of money.

What was sold as ongoing support turned out to be very limited. After the first session, there was little willingness to continue with home visits, even though that was part of what we believed we had paid for. The personalised training plan promised on the website never arrived either. Instead, we were sent generic emails with basic advice that felt little different from what you could find online for free.

The way the package is sold also feels misleading. You choose a package, pay a deposit, and once the contract starts your money is tied up. Unless you chase them, they do not seem to contact you. They offer dates, and if you cannot do them, that is basically the end of it. There is very little flexibility or real support.

The first session was useful in parts, mainly for feeding and basic puppy guidance, but after that the service dropped off. When I asked about follow-up support, I never got a clear answer. Later, when I asked for help with lead walking, the advice was to just keep trying on our own. For £500, that was nowhere near good enough.

Based on our experience, I would not use them again and would not recommend them to others.

If you want to make it harsher, you could add this line at the end:

Do not use — its like a scam.

Lynn was very helpful and really gave me some fantastic advice.
I’m going to work with the tools she gave me to improve the behaviour of my dogs.
She was very firm and had them in the palm of her hand very quickly

We have a difficult case. We have two rescue dogs, both girls, both 6y, both Frenchies, but one of them we adopted when she was already 3y and she's set in her ways. She's a dominant dog. She marks territory, she treats all other dogs outdoors as threats and she's forceful pulling and pushing, and she can get out of any given collar or harness, even the special training harness which is attached to a collar. They should have named her Houdini instead of Isabella. But thanks to Emma and Bark Busters we can now take her for walks safely and confident that she won't cause an incident with other dogs, or an accident on the road. Walkies are once more enjoyable, as they should be. Emma taught us strategies, and ways to stop/prevent bad behaviour. And the improvement was from one day to another. I am glad we chose Bark Busters

The trainer lynn was excellent I could see some results by the time she left and she has given me some great advice so glad I used them 6 stars from me
