I'm not sure who got the most out of the training us or the dogs. Mark is a fabulous guy. Approachable and friendly and with a true passion for his job. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Mark and Barkbusters.
14/5/2017 "We've had people come for training before and were apprehensive about going through with a lesson. Haven't really had any success until now .
It's night 3 and we've managed to have 3 nights of no barking during dinner, haven't had to sit outside while the dinner is being cooked either. They were always lovely dogs but now they're quiet lovely dogs." Linda(Okee and Wendy)

Mark commanded a presence with the dogs and we felt very confident that he was the right person. Mark was appreciative and complimentary of our efforts to date and gave us great ideas. He stayed a long time as he was doing a double lesson and we didn't feel at all that he was keen to finish up. A lovely pleasant guy.
Trainer note from Mark
Great folk to work with and louie and Jetson responded well, certainly consistancy will help but huge improvements already. Our second lesson saw the work put in and much more relaxed dogs. Awesome work guys.

We have two totally different dogs that where re-homed, one a golden retriever 7 years old and a Chocolate Lab 4 years old. We had used a couple of trainers for the Retriever who has Anxiety and Nervous Issues and were told that she would never become a normal dog, what we see is what she's going to be for the rest of her days. So we weren't holding too much hope that Mark would be able to change things. The Lab we had, had for 2 weeks she had little socialisation skills with other dogs, and had focus and control issues. Mark took us through how to speak "Dog". Made it so comfortable too ask questions and feel at ease with the whole process of being able to understand why these two had become the dogs they had. Also how we were going to get the Lab to see us as the new Pack Leader, and the Retriever to "Chill Out", find safe zones in order to become a controlled dog and not be nervous in her surroundings and over think situations and run off. The sessions where tailored to the individual dogs needs, it wasn't a one training program fits all solution. This was amazing as it gave us confidence to continue with the exercises and the confidence to lead the pack. Both Dogs showed marked improvement after the first session.
Trainer note from Mark
The second lesson with these two has showed huge leaps in confidence for the Golden retriever Eden who now isn't shying away from people and noises and Toffee the Chocolate lab is starting to develop focus abilities. Toffee had no skills to speak of when we arrived as the previous owners didn't teach her. Great credit to the new owners for sticking by them and putting in the techniques and process.

Mark helped us out hugely with Jet. In one lesson Jet was not pulling on the Lead anymore, and after doing our "homework" his recall and obiendence has improved immensely. We would highly recommend Mark to ALL dog owners he is brilliant. Bark Busters is a must for all dog owners and dogs, it definitely teaches you how to speak dog. Thanks again Mark
Trainer note from Mark
Jet was a great student , and diligence from the owners is clearly showing in the results they're achieving.

We noticed amazing results by the end of our first visit with Keiko. We were very impressed with Keiko's training technique. We had a wonderful time with Keiko. She was very helpful and Patient when teaching us about how to deal with our dog's behaviour. Keiko did an amazing job. We are so excited to see the changes in our dog. We are keeping up with our homework and can't wait to see even more changes in Sarge. Sarge and us as dog owners learnt so much in the first visit, by the end of the visit Sarge had already improved so much. Thank you Keiko :)
Trainer note from Keiko
I was very happy the way Sarge (3 year old German Shepherd) responded to the training. He is a very smart boy. Keep up the good work!

Really great training, we noticed the improvements almost immediately. So simple and yet so effective!
Trainer note from Mark
Awesome dogs and the young one in question was so willing to learn. Great work by the owners in a not so easy environment on the day.

The training was excellent. From the moment I opened the door, Keiko was able to asses the problem with Karl's barking and the training began straight away! I saw the benefit and value of the training immediately with the first technique as Karl refocused and stopped barking instantly!
Trainer note from Keiko
Karl (8 month old Japanese Spitz) responded to the training really well. He is so willing to please the owner. He is a sweet young dog. Keep up the good work!

Everything was very well explained in detail and backed up with facts. Keiko was also very friendly, easy to get along with and she was also very good with my dog - my dog made so much progress in just 2 hours! She learnt to wait and be invited through doorways, walk on a leash, called to come, and also only eat treats on her bed. Excellent trainer.
Trainer note from Keiko
I was very happy with the way Latte (Fox Terrier Cross, 8 month old) responded to the training. She is still a very young dog, keep up the good work!

Mark was incredible. I noticed a change in Kylo within the first 30 minutes. I honestly can't thanks Mark enough for not only helping me understand my pup but to be able to communicate right from wrong to a very excitable teenage puppy. I'd highly recommend Mark & the Bark Busters Team to anyone struggling with how to relate to their dog as their methods are easy to understand and a cinch to relay to a furry friend. Definite game changers!! Thanks again Mark :)
Trainer note from Mark
Kylo was a very exuberant and over the top 1 year old but also nervous and not the temperament to be in charge. Fantastic relaying of the information and putting into action by Hayley. Your dog is going to be a winner.

We are very happy with how our training with Mark went tonight. We were both very nervous at the start and was unsure if it would work for Turbo but are so happy and pleased we did it.
Trainer note from Mark
Great folk , great wee dog who just needed a guiding hand and some speaking dog the bark Busters way.
