Laura is an absolute legend! She makes training the pup (well, me!) easy and fun to do, has given us the tools to make sure the puppy knows exactly what is right and wrong, and in turn has made all our lives a happy one! She's also there when I have needed her outside of our scheduled training sessions and will always make time for us if we needed it.
Indy (our pup) now is really good with knowing his boundary on the property, walks with a loose lead, and comes when he is called (well, sometimes, we're still working on this so I may need Laura back soon!!)
Anyone that has Laura as their trainer, rest assured you are in good hands 🙂

Laura has changed our lives. Our relationship with our dogs is so much better. They feel safer - and automatically calmer and less barky. It's wonderful to see our dogs feeling happier.
She offers helpful advice, considering our household (unlike some trainers who just push orders), and it's been a joy to work with her. We can't recommend her enough!

I can’t recommend Laura highly enough. We were referred to Laura by friends after we saw fantastic results with their dog, and our experience working with Laura has been excellent.

Laura has taken the time to deeply understand the specific needs and concerns we had for our dogs, and tailored a training plan to help us address these. In a short time, Laura has given us the language and tools we need to communicate effectively with our dogs. As a result the dogs are calmer, much better behaved, less anxious and receptive.

To be clear, training your dogs is a long-term commitment that involves regular work with the dogs (there’s no quick fix, and Laura made this clear to us in our first session), but the difference with the techniques and approach Laura teaches us is that it’s effective, not reliant on always having treats, doesn’t involve physical punishment, and focuses on your role as a leader to your dog, helping them feel relaxed, confident, and secure. What’s more, Laura is there every step of the way to help us practice and embed the techniques, checking in at each visit to help us (this is so different to previous trainers we’ve worked with who don’t follow up beyond the initial sessions).

We’ve loved Laura’s creative approach to some of the personality ‘quirks’ of our dogs (we have a Staffie and a Boxer, so both very headstrong), and getting to see the great parts of their personalities come through as we’ve worked with them.

Thanks Laura!

Laura has been amazing. This is the second time I have used Bark Busters with my dogs but my first experience with Laura.
I have a 12 month old Great Dane and given the success we had with our previous Dane, it was a no brainer to come back to Bark Busters.
Laura has been fantastic to work with, we have done multiple session with her to try and get on top of the behavioural issues we have with our boy. Laura has always been available and so supportive - even for our house sitter when we were away recently. She is a complete asset to your dog training needs and it is done with compassion and respect. Bailey has made a lot of progress and continues to do so under her guidance. No hesitation in recommending her for your dogs needs.

We've had one session with Laura & we can see much improvement already, Laura is completely correct with them having to learn their place in our pack & our need to show them we are the Leader & taking that burden from them, highly recommend Laura & Bark Busters she really knows her stuff, great advice which we are putting into practice & we are feeling very hopeful for future calmer furbabies... thanks again Laura :))

My family and I cannot recommend Laura from Barkbusters enough to those having troubles with their dog. My family and I had the most difficult time finding a trainer for our furry family member until we found Laura. Despite being turned away by other 5-star trainers, Laura confidently took on the challenge and worked tirelessly with us until we saw the transformation we had been longing for in our rescue dog. The best thing about Laura is that she tailors her training specifically to your dog's unique personality and specific issues, ensuring remarkable results. We were blown away by her in-depth knowledge of dog training and her ability to give sound advice for any circumstance. Not only did she teach our dog good indoor and outdoor practices, lead control when walking and helped establish a healthy relationship between our dog and family, but she also gave us the tools to continue training, so we could continue to see success in the future. Laura's work ethic and passion for helping dogs truly reflect how much she cares for all of her clients. She always makes sure that our training sessions are never rushed and she doesn't leave until every single question has been answered. Even after our training sessions ended, she continued to follow up with us to see if there were any further improvements that could be made. Our relationship with our dog has improved drastically and we couldn't be more grateful. If you're looking for a trainer that is patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about your dog's wellbeing, Laura is the person to turn to - we promise you won't be disappointed!

We have used Laura for our 2 girl Cocker Spaniels. After just the first appointment we saw some great changes in their demeanour and how we all interacted as a family. We have now had about 4 sessions and the girls are so much better behaved and obedient. When we have had any queries in between sessions Laura was always happy for us to phone her and sort any issues out.
Lauras commitment and ability has certainly helped change us all for the better. We would highly recommend Laura and the Barkbusters system for any and all dog behavioural issues.
Thank you Laura😀

Laura was able to come into our home and give us positive guidance for our 1 year old spaniel (Rupert). She showed us how to give him the encouragement he was looking for and how to care for his physical as well as his emotional needs. He is a happier dog and we feel confident, with what he has learnt, that his behaviour will only get better as he grows. Thank you Laura!
