Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Tandy is a darling little 10-month-old Foxy Jack Russell cross - he’s snuggly, energetic, clever, quick to learn tricks, loves to play and run and is our best little mate. But he was very nippy with mum - constantly mouthing, nibbling and getting rougher with me as he got older. We tried puppy school, teenage puppy school and all of the tricks on the internet and while he learned all the usual commands really quickly, nothing we did stopped our little land shark! I was at my wit's end when I contacted Mark at Bark Busters. I was frustrated, there had been tears and I was exhausted trying to constantly deter Tandy from nipping at me and my clothes - which never really happened to my partner. I was getting pretty stressed out, annoyed and sad that I couldn’t seem to communicate with Tandy and I didn’t want him picking up on that and become scared, anxious or naughty with me. It felt like Tandy didn’t see me as any sort of leader, just a human chew toy! It felt like he was constantly hyped up, needed to settle and reset. Within about two minutes of arriving at our house Mark had sad the magic words and Tandy pretty much instantly started doing things very differently. We are now a week into our Bark Busters life and Tandy is so chilled, so relaxed, so calm and so responsive! We are still a work in progress but I can genuinely say he’s a different little mate from a week ago - barely a tooth has touched my skin! It’s a huge and amazing relief and we are SO thankful to Mark for teaching us how to talk to our puppy properly! We’ve also managed to significantly curb some secondary issues that were starting to emerge - barking outside, refusing to drop things he shouldn’t have. We are all SO much happier - and I SO much less exhausted now I am not constantly on guard. Thank you so much Mark! We would highly, highly recommend anyone else with pup issues (big or small) to try the Bark Busters programme. It’s phenomenal!! Mark is a legend, he was so patient, so helpful and we could not have sorted this without him!

Mark was amazing with his teaching and his knowledge with dogs. Loved how he went over things inside 1st so we could get our head around it all before we started working with Mackie. What a difference the tools he gave us worked and how she responded immediately. I feel way more confident with her and my other dogs. Best call I ever made was to mark. Thank you so much

Mark was inspirational, tireless and extremely accommodating. He answered all our questions, clearly and with great patience. He has changed our exhausted, "puppy in charge" life to a much more relaxed, "we call the shots now" life. This man obviously understands dogs so well and the focus on positivity and strong leadership by the owner vs force and negativity make us want to promote Bark Busters to any 'uneducated' dog owner. Mark absolutely earned the fee :) Thank you so much, Mark.

Mark was great! Took immediate control of our dogs particularly Bullit our 3yo Kelpie Amazing + training me ! Def recommended . Dont waste time with training collars etc Call Mark @ Bark Busters!

Mark was amazing with bobby, bobby was taking over our house and we had some other trainers who were absolutely hopeless so we didn’t have high hopes, Mark had bobby trained within 3 hours to do things we did not think was possible, highly recommend, don’t waste your money anywhere else , we are looking forward to our next catch up

Milo has been having a hard time dealing with separation anxiety, we now have the tools and training to use to help him deal with us leaving. He also used to jump and sleep on the couch and after one day he has yet to jump on the couch- its amazing!

Mark was fantastic so easy to relate to. Brilliant dog trainer great tips and nice clear list of homework to carry on with. Thanks again Mark

Great information and advice.

Milo was having some issues around resource guarding and lead pulling. He would often protect socks and his dinner. Mark was approachable, great to talk to in person and on the phone phone. Mark provided many invaluable techniques and information when training. Some of the techniques had instant results and i was genuinely surprised and overjoyed how effective they were. Even in a month i have already recommended Mark/Bark Busters to half a dozen friends that have dogs with behavioral issues. 10/10 would recommend.

Mark gave us easy and clear training techniques for training our testing 1 year old Labrador who we came to realise was our pack leader. Shadow is making great progress already with sit, stay, come, leave it and more. The Bah word is working amazingly. We only have to pick up the pillow and we have her attention. We look forward to seeing more progress day by day.

Training seems to have been very effective so far

Thanks to Mark I now understand how my dog best responds to what I need them to do. The focus on doing the basic training in home first, gaining trust and respect with my dog means I no longer fear the worst but am hopeful for our bond getting stronger as I lead them going forward.
