We're forever grateful for Graham's help with our dog's separation anxiety. We've made INCREDIBLE progress since his first visit and finally know how to address everyday situations in a way that can help his problem. We can safely say that he is truly a changed dog.

He gave us the tools and the support that we always needed but couldn't find. He is right there whenever we need him or have a question, a phone call/email away, and it has proven to be very helpful in our situation. We've noticed that our dog is happier and much more relaxed which, in turn, is making us all very happy as a family. It's all we wanted, and we're incredibly thankful that Bark Busters and Graham were able to provide us with that.

I've said it over and over again, but calling Graham is honestly the best thing we've done since we've adopted our dog :)

- Stephanie L.

My experience with Burk Busters is AMAZING!!! GREAT!!! My mother and I, could not believe how a 3 hours session changed Benji's behaviour. We are finally communicating the right way with him. He also stopped biting us which was our worst nightmare and walking him is a pleasure now. All of it thanks to Bark Busters but a bigger thanks goes to Graham Smith who is a wonderful therapist. I have and will continue
recommending Bark Busters.

Again, thank you, merci, gracias, grazie - Silvia Di Lallo

I was skeptical but hopeful that Bark Busters training would help Chakra become a calmer, happier dog. Within a couple of days of me training her using the Bark Busters System she was a different dog! She stopped barking, jumping, pacing, panting and her demeanor was so relaxed. I was of the mindset that you can't teach an old dog new tricks but Graham Smith and the Bark Busters system proved me wrong!
- Maureen O.

Graham was clear, kind, persistent, patient - all with a wonderful sense of humour. He didn't let us get down on ourselves when we struggled to "get it". His follow up was extremely important and I know that his commitment to us and our dog is absolute. We have made great progress and will be contacting Graham soon for reinforcement of our next steps... Thanks for the miracle work you do.
- Judy F. - June 2010

I'm amazed and appreciative of the progress we've experienced with Barkbusters. Graham just came back for a follow-up visit and gave us a few more pointers, but Coco has responded so well that there wasn't really that much to discuss! I've already recommended Barkbusters to my friends and family so I hope they will contact you also. Thanks so much once again, we couldn't be more pleased - Debbie P. - May 2010

Graham Smith was awsome. He spent allot of time making sure we understood everything and took the time to answer every question we had. Bella is like a new dog and i am working hard to keep her that way. Graham called or emailed me everyday to see how she was doing. Overall it was a great and eye opening experiance.
- Dean H. - May 2010

We found your techniques to be very useful. Graham was very clear and precise which made things very easy to understand.
- Dan N. - May 2010

Graham Smith not only a good trainer but a wonderful person. The passion he unfolds is contagious. I've met not only a dog trainer but a friend. - Williamson D. - February 2010

Graham Smith is a wonderful therapist. He is very competent, honest, and he takes the time to answer every single question. There were improvements in my dog's behavior as soon as the day following his first visit. Thank you Graham! - Annie P. - January 2010

Graham is very professionnal, very patient and his availability is much appreciated when you have a busy life ! my dog listens so much more now and its a great relief which allows me to love her even more !!! - Marie G., Andre R. - January 2010

Hi Graham,

Thank you very much for your understanding. Your support and your constant encouragement helps me to persist.

With no less than 5 "supposed" dog experts in my neighbourhood, I appreciate your support to help me stick to the best system.

Tocsine is a very special dog to me. She is cheerful, likes to play, is very active and intelligent. I never want to terrify or bully her. Thanks to you I know I'm going to have the best friend.

The 3 best decisions I made in 2009
1 - Buy Tocsin despite the objections of my surroundings
2 - Using your services as a trainer.
3 - Cancel my classes with the International Canine Center (I do not hesitate to name them because I had clearly told them what I did not want to do (be rough) but they did anyway.

- Madeleine B. - January 2010

Hello Graham,

I am writing to let you know the good news about the "alleged" allergies of our dog Snoopy.

As you know, Snoopy has many intradermal allergy tests. Outside, it turned out he was allergic to certain grasses, white oak, a variety of weeds, mites and even to humans.

The symptoms were so severe even scratching (to the point of bleeding), ear infections, fungi.

To mitigate the adverse symptoms, we had to administer injections every two weeks.

Following our training, we implemented the recommendations, changed his food and began the rehabilitation. Since then, the symptoms are almost absent. We are just about totally controlling them without injections! What a blessing for Snoopy (and for us!!!).

If he happens to scratch, we correct him and he stops. We clean his ears regularly and this is sufficient to prevent ear infections.

Everything suggests that the allergies were due to Snoopy's anxiety of being pack leader.
This has stopped since the establishment of your training program.

We appreciate your wise counsel and your constant availability!

- Marie France L. - January 2010

There was an instant improvement in my dogs behavior. My trainer M.Graham Smith called me back the next day to check how I was doing then he came for a follow up a week later. Right now I am very pleased with the result and could not ask for more. I think that just the dedication, life time guarantee and most of all the result is what has made my meeting with Bark Busters a very satisfying experience. I ThankYou Very Much. - Yolande L. - December 2009

It is very reassuring to know that you are there to guide me and that it does not matter what happens I will always have somebody help me. Your method is really brilliant. I feel that each day my relation with my dog improves. This teaching will be useful to me throughout my life. - Madeleine B. - December 2009

Hi Graham! Boy, what a day we’ve had! As you know my dog WAS terrified of trucks and loud noises. Today was the first snow storm in the street, there were snow ploughs, garbage trucks, hydro trucks, postal trucks caught in the snow...
My dog hardly noticed them! All it took was one correction this morning, and no further sign of anxiety! - MartineD. - December 2009

Graham Smith is prompt in replying to emails, and making himself available for another meeting at our house. He then covers the material until it is absorbed by all. He is funny and is making it a good challenge for the children. He is attentive and professional.
- Nathalie M. - November 2009

Just goes to show you, you should never listen to other people. They all said it would be impossible to train her since Chanel was almost 8 years old. She no longer goes on a barking mission when my doorbell rings. It is much more peaceful now. My dog is perfect.
I have also switched dog food as per her trainer Graham. Chanel loves her new food.
Thank you Graham! - Susan C. - November 2009

Polished, yet 'real'. Real knowledge, concern, and connection! Congratulations!
- Lawrence S. - November 2009

The only thing I would like to say is:
Thank you Graham... thank you very much... everybody is happy at home... the dogs, my boyfriend and I. It's so easy now with Lola and Charly... - Denise T. - October 2009

Hi Graham - We had our first weekend away with the dogs and I wanted to tell you that they have surprised everyone. They were calm, quiet and extremely well behaved. They embarrassed the other dogs by how well they were acting. Things are great. Everyone was amazed at their improvement. - Kristina H. - October 2009

Hi Graham,

It was probably the best walk we ever had with the girlies! Misha did the drain covers with nothing more than leaning in closer to my left leg. We did encounter a dog who was not leashed and that annoyed me so I called out to the man that I may not be able to control my "vicious" dog, so he better leash him and Misha did pull me but not like before and I was able to correct her back into position. Baguette walked nicely with David, there haven't been any accidents in the house in days. They love their crates and best of all there's hardly any barking! Tomorrow we will work on their math skills.

- Lorry L. - October 2009

Hi Graham,

The dogs are good. They are adjusting. The following day was quite good, minimal barking and relatively calm. And tonight we were able to walk right by another dog with only one bark from toulouse. Pat corrected her and she walked right by without another word.

Thanks! - Kristina H.- October 2009

Good morning Graham,

Just to let you know, last night, no problems at all!!! The walk went great this morning, they listened perfectly. Tami did not even attempt to go to the woman delivering the newspapers! Kachou came back from his walk and did not even do his usual barking for his treat!
When I left, not a peep! Around 3 or 4 minutes later Tami barked and I went in and corrected her.... Kachou did not move from the corner of the bathroom.

I can tell you, I have not had a quiet morning like this EVER!!!!

Thanks for your input..... - Ann M - October 2009

Hi Graham,
Just want to let you know that Indiana is doing very well. He "tested" me last night but stopped right away after a few patantes on the floor! I bought the food... I never saw him eat like that before. Good thing, he loves it! Litte Bear have cage only for travelling so it's around $300. I will go shopping tonight and get one litte cheaper!

Thank you again for everything and I'll keep you posted!
- Sophie A. - October 1, 2009

Good morning Graham,
Indiana is doing well. Much much calmer.
We do have a new dog. He is soooo different !

Thanks again,
- Sophie A. - October 7, 2009

Graham – great to meet and spend time with you last night. You have provided a wealth of information that is going to allow us enjoy our dog MINZY a lot more. She walked really well on the leash this morning.Thanks again! - Greg C. - September 2009

Hello Graham,

Hope you are well.
Its been a while since Ive given you an update on Maxie.
Well, you wouldn't think she is the same dog, as when I first brought her home. She is obedient, she is the most playful, loveable, affectionate pup that ever lived!

Thanks ,
Christina L. - Spetember 2009

To repeat today the sentiment, Mr. Smith you are a god :)...I am loving this technique with Nemo. He was good as gold after your visit . Mr. Nemo is fighting it today, but really think this is the trick, finally, that will work. - Lillian L. - September 2009

I spoke with 7 other trainers and no one would take on Charlie's problems - they all told me to find him a new home. Bark Busters has given me a new dog and I couldn't be more pleased, and I get to keep my Charlie. Thank you so much Graham - Elyssa C. - August, 2009

Bark Busters saved me money: 200$ a month in dog walking services and 500$ in police tickets for a barking dog. I am very happy that I chose Graham Smith as my trainer, he not only trained my beautiful Maily but also trained me how to act with my dog. Now when I see people having problems controlling their dog on the street,while my dog stays quietly behind me, I tell them about Bark Busters. - Marie L. - August 2009

Hi Graham! I know you were just here yesterday to see Shotsy, But ever since you left he has been an angel! He growls when I do the knocking on the door or wall but once he is corrected, he stops. He does not bolt of out of his cage anymore and when I do open his cage, I walk away and he remains laying down. I will walk half way down the hallway, ask him to come to me. He comes, I get up walk away. walk up and down the hall and he doesnt move. Did I mention walking went very well today?

And he loves his new food that I got him today. Thank you Graham!

Jennifer Scully - August 2009

Hi
Thank you for helping me and my dog to understand each other.
He was perfect yesterday afternoon when I took him out; we walked exactly how we learned.
He is a goog boy.
Tks/Nadia

Dear Graham,

Oh how you must hear this often. we are SO amazed at how much London's changed. In the best possible way of course. Just to give you an example, tonight, we ordered out because we are renovating the appartment. So the house is prety much a mess and all the furniture is everywhere, but our little one still finds a spot right by us, so he doesn't feel left out of course :). Anyhow, in this mess the pizza guy came to the door (which was wide open at all times by the way) and I made one small correction and he didn't move an inch out of the position he was in. And not just for a minute, for the whole time we ate sitting right by him on the floor.

We still have a little room for improvement on the walks, but everyday is another day and another learning one for both of us. (all three I should say). Take care
- Vanessa L.- August 2009

Graham was amazing. You should write about him to Oprah!!!! She loves dogs... Graham is always there to help, answers my calls and emails promptly. I know I can count on him if ever there's a problem. - Joelle B. - aUG 2009

Hi Graham,

Great news! My sweet little Mika, who used to be so nervous and destructive when left alone, has succeeded at being left alone OUTSIDE of her kennel for the whole day while I'm at work. With no destruction! It's been just over a week of this, but I'm confident that this is a new beginning for her (and me).

So thank you very much for helping us. The Barkbuster training, and your patience and reassurance when things didn't go exactly as I'd hoped, surely contributed to this progress.

I hope everything is well with you.
Cheers,
- Jenn C. - July 2009

Hi Graham,

I just needed to tell someone who would understand my news! I think Bailey has finally come over the hill. I know the process goes in waves, but i feel we have been tackling some major hurdles!

1) The doorbell is not interesting to either dog anymore. Actually when the bell goes or they hear knocking they go to their bed or stay in a room away from the door. In addition, Bailey is really understanding the idea of 'leave me alone until I ask you to come'. I have had a few visitors that Bailey is usually a bit skidish with and she was an angel. She was having fun with the visitors and not displaying any of her 'mistrust signs'.

2) This morning i was walking the two pups together in my back yard (because I was running short on time) and we heard a loud noise that startled me too.
Ordinarily this would have shocked Bailey enough to jump then start an incident between the two of them. BUT instead she jumped then looked up at me. I am so happy with this because it seemed like looking at me was a reaction to her fear, rather than the norm of her attack reaction. I am hoping that this means she is internalizing trust for me to protect her.

3) we had a wonderful walk where we saw multiple dogs, children, people, bikes, baby buggies, and loud trucks. AND we had absolutely NO instances '!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had half the leash dangling and used it to correct her 'interests'. Perhaps the most amazing thing is that her interest was simply looking in the direction of 'not me'. There was no chest thrusting, pulling, growling, dancing, etc. I do realize that I was on the opposite side of the street than the other dogs, but the lack of interest is motivating!

Amelia S. - July 2009

Extremely satisfied with Graham and although it has only been (2) weeks I am starting to see an improvement with Mandy. I know it will take some time as she is three years old and stubborn as hell. Overall extremely satisified. - Patricia M. - July 2009

Graham is great to work with. He explains everything clearly, follows-up regularly and goes the extra mile to help. I will definitely recommend him. - Carrie H. - July 2009

My dog has made amazing improvements! It's only been a couple weeks, but she's quiet, calm, and has stopped chewing everything. She stopped barking in the crate, and I can finally sleep all night! Today she let a crowd of kids pet her without jumping on them (a feat, since she's only 5 months old and loves to jump every time she gets excited). I'm expecting great improvements when we walk on the leash as she gets a bit older. Graham is really friendly and makes me feel comfortable with him. I know that I can come to him with any problems along the way. - Andrea S. - June 2009

Graham was outstanding with the instructions and knowledge. A definete recommend program. - Nadia M. - June 2009

J'ai beaucoup apprécié Bark Busters ainsi que Monsieur Graham Smith qui maîtrîse très bien la technique et a une belle éducation et est très professionnel.

Après la première visite, une amélioration du comportement de mon petit Clinton de 90 pourcent. Evidemment, je continue l'entraînement de Clinton, sauf qu'à chaque jour il y a une amélioration. J'imagine qu'après un certain temps Clinton n'aura plus besoin d'aucune correction ou presque. La vie avec Clinton est beaucoup plus agréable ainsi et il est très calme et moins possessif, je peux donner la main et embrasser les personnes qui entrent dans mon "Home" Merci Graham et Bark Busters - Nicole F. - Juin 2009

Bonjour,

Je remercie M. Graham Smith du service qu'il nous a donné.
Il nous a bien expliqué, il a bien évalué notre chienne et
a fait un très bon suivi.

Son enthousiame est très contagieux.

Scarlett est une chienne très enjouée, très affectueuse et
très intelligente mais qui a la tête dure comme un vieux bouc.

M. Smith a travailler avec elle d'une façon très douce qui
démontre vraiment l'amour des chiens et Scarlett l'aime beaucoup
magré qu'il soit très exigeant avec elle.

Quand je parle avec des gens, je n'ai aucune hésitation
à recommander Bark Busters. Merci beaucoup - Madeleine C. - Juin 2009

Hi Graham

We’re still taking to everybody about you
We will never forget what you did for us


Again

THANKS!!!!!
Miko – the wall eating dog’s – Mom and Dad.
- Raphael C. - March 2009

Hi Graham,

Life with Lola is sooo much better. The improvement is quite remarkable.

Speak soon,

- Mary K. - February 2009

Hi Graham,

The techniques that you taught us have proven to be quite effective. Carly no longer chews on the baseboards or furniture and she has calmed down very much. She sits with us for extended periods of time and allows us to pet her and cuddle with her. She and T-bone play together almost always however they sometimes still seem to get a little nasty with each other...we always intervene at that point and it seems to jolt them back to good doggie behaviour.
All in all we are very happy .

Take care
Natasha - January 2009

HI Graham,

I can't thank you enough for what you have done for Me and Jett... It is amazing.. I also just recommended you to a man I was talking to at the coffee shop.. he has a 10 month old Great Dane, he said he was going to call you, since he saw how Jett was jumping up and gone mad yesterday, and today he saw such a difference..

Thanks, - Nicola N. - January 2009

I recently purchased an adorable shitzu pup named Lucy. I have owned 2 dogs before but was never a dog’s master, nor did I train it. Once I brought Lucy home I immediately inquired as to the Bark Busters services. I am very familiar with the brand as I have spent the past 20 years in the franchise industry, and have seen your concept.

As a former franchisor myself I know that a lot of what you hear about franchisees is complaints, so I thought you might like to read some praise. I was incredibly fortunate to fall into Graham Smith’s territory and must tell you he is outstanding! Graham gives me all the attention I need and in a very timely manner. He is always eager to assist and has been invaluable in helping me to get Lucy and our family on the right foot and QUICK! He has tons of suggestions and the world of patience. He is an absolute pleasure to work with. I will highly recommend him (and the brand) to others for sure. Graham is very sincere and genuinely interested in the welfare of his furry clients (and their neurotic owners!). He executes his training professionally and in my opinion is a superb goodwill ambassador for your brand. Please feel free to post this testimonial on your or Graham’s web page.

Wishing you continued success!
Sincerely
Lori - Jan 2009

Hey Graham - I thought I'd give you a quick update on how great the training has been.
Both my chihuahuas are behaving spectacularly. I'm not letting them get away with anything and it's paying off. I feel they're even more affectionate now that they know I'm the big dog of the house.

I got my girlfriend to start and use the system to correct the dogs and they're responding very quickly to her dominance as well. Thanks again, I had a lot of fun - Nic D. - December 2008

Hi!


Tonite, I decided to try taking Charlie out for a walk armed with my new knowledge and our magic collar. I know you had suggested training inside, but with everyone around in the busy household, I decided to try outside.

Unbelievably, he did end up getting it!!! I figured out the movement so I was not lifting him up, and we went a couple of blocks with him right by side... Amazing! Not *once* since I've had him was I walking next to or ahead of him...

Thanks again for your help, more updates later. - Michelle S. - December 2008

Hi Graham,

Yesterday was absolutely amazing...we are forever grateful! T-Bone has definitely given up the role of pack leader.

Natasha November 2008

Good Morning Graham

well good news Ali is still behaving, He has challenged me a couple of times and I won !!! he has still been extremely calm. the real test was
was when my ex husband arrived with Lori..Ali loves him and goes nuts when he sees him..this time he just sat and looked at him
I was amazed.

thanks so much

Linda November 2008

Hello Graham

I just want to start by thanking you for your generosity because although you are still in a business I feel like you are truly helping to make my life better. I love buttercup very much and I thought I would never be able to afford the kind of service you are giving me, which is very invaluable. As a student I am sure you understand this is a sacrifice for me for my dog but i love him so much and I am willing to make it. Thank you again

As to how things are going. Buttercup is a totally new dog. He is respecting and waiting on me when I walk through the door ( not perfectly but he is getting there)and it is good feeling . I am walking him as best as I can . He still makes mistakes to go in front of me sometimes but I deal with it right away .

Have a good day -Neressa N. - November 2008

Hi!!!

I have been meaning to write you. Everyday during our evening walk, I think about writing you and by the time I get home, I always forget!

Bea is doing great. She has made ALOT of progress since we got started. Our walks can go for as long as we want (generally), which is usually about 1 hour to 1.5. hours at a time. We are still making corrections on each walk, but they are certainly becoming fewer and fewer. She is looking at us all the time, and now if i sneeze or make some other funny sound during the walk, she will look at me with a concerned (or confused look) - whereas before, she wouldn't have even flinched!

The squirrels are going well - we are definetly making progress there. She still gets excited, but now manages to walk perfectly beside us while having her ears perked.

I have even met a few people on the street who stop and stare and say "oh my god! look - that beagle isn't pulling!!!" , which is so great, but of course, as soon as they say it and give her attention, she gets so excited and goes wacko.

She had a few really hilarious attempts at maniuplating the system which really make us realize how smart she is - and also, how independent and stubborn she is - but she is a beagle after all! She has been making us laugh alot more, instead of making us cry!

All in all, she is doing great. While we have certainly made LOTS AND LOTS of progress, she still hasn't given up!

We have been maintaining all rules at home - she is now banned from the kitchen as well and respects the rule!

I am so thankful we worked with you and Barb. I need to take a video of Bea's walking and send it to you! Thank you for allowing us to have a normal, healthy, and rewarding relationship with our Bea!

- Lauren P. - November 2007

Hello Graham

A positive note to tell you that on this fine sunday afternoon my well behaved dog got loose. The first since our meeting. My oldest had a couple of friends over in the back yard one forgets to close the door leading to the garage. So dog get's loose, I get into my car and drive not two houses away and Caisey is slowly walking away. I park the car take out the leash –say the magic word - he stops only for a second. then I call him the way you showed me and….
He came right to me in a fast walk...

It's like he only gave it a split second thought and then he came. I was so shocked and happy and proud of him and me.

When I came back only minutes after I left my husband was shocked to see the dog with me on the leash. He asked as a matter of fact what happend?? I told him I did what you told me, like I have been practicing at home and he came......my husband said " I'm stunned it's really working" then my dear hubbie told me i was really doing a great job with the dog.

So Graham I really needed to share this with you.....all the past year and a half of watching this dog run away then not come to me when i called him was eating me up. I love my dog more and more everyday now. Today what I thought was the impossible to achieve yet anyhow..... happened...... I know I still have more work to do and I'm by no means finished but it's a good start I think.

Have a great day Graham, may I say to you that aside from my hubbie and father....you are the next best man to have entered my life.........

Have a great day!

Laurie

Hello Mr. Smith

Well.... ma master and I was just thinking what a day we had on monday...here I am just a dog again and Laurie, as you call her is certainly actin' like the leader of the pack you taught her to become... in a very short time.....thanks there Graham! No more sofas for me, she even got me to sleep in the crate, I know she din't want to....it's kinda her soft spot but holding true to my nature yes I whined, and even let out a bark, She came down the stairs and out of her mouth was this sound..like the ones you were making and having her do that day. So....I gave in pretty quickly. Since then I gotta say I have been a pretty good doggie, keepin' out of her way actually, no beds, no sofas,. I duno it's like she's the same but real different. We have been taking our walks even twice a day..that's great. She keeps doin' this back and forth thing, walks ahead and then stops. Hhhhhmm! whatever is going on she's working at it. She even sings during our walks now and keeps saying "it was the best money I ever spent....la la da da..." What is she talking about.....aaahh! well I love her anyway even if she's flipped out a little...funny thing is I think it will be ok.

Love ma new food though... and the egg,
Well we just wanted to say thank you...we enjoyed your visit ( ok she made me write that) Me, well I'm still a little freaked out but commin' around. She wants me to tell you she will continue to work hard at it and that if she ever needs your help again or needs to talk to you that she will ( well youppi for that one right!) Ok....well she also wants me to tell you that she really loves me and that is what it's all about. Aaaaa! I'm the lucky one!

Good day Mr. Graham, I need ma doggie sleep. And aaah! take care.

Your's truely Caisey and Laurie - October 2008

Hi Graham, The dogs are doing better!!! I see a great improvement in their behaviour so I'm glad. I just have to do my homework!!! Thank you for your help.
- Marie-France A. - October 2008

Hi Graham - Well, it's been a week since we saw you and I can't begin to tell you how thrilled we are. We have had an occasional slip up, but the three "boys" are becoming a pleasure to live with! - Anyways, just wanted to update and THANK YOU again!!!
- Cindy - July 2008

I've been ranting and raving about your service all weekend to everyone I know! One friend said she couldn't believe that Mika was walking behind me everywhere and not chasing after other dogs. I've also been doing the practice session with her and it seems that everything is on track.

While speaking to my sister-in-law about your 'magic making' with Mika, I suggested her parents consider trying your service. They are in their mid-late sixties and have a hyperactive/destructive toy poodle, ironically named Magic. They've had poodles before but this one is proving to be a real challenge. The last time I asked them about Magic, their faces turned sad and they pretty much refused to talk about it. I've understood that the dog's barking prevents her mother from talking on the phone and that they are reluctant to have guests over because of the disruption. They have taken the dog to obedience classes which he promptly failed and I believe they have lost the will to fight with the dog any longer. Her father is very attached to him but they don't think anything will work to change his behaviour.

After speaking with my sister-in-law about how incredible Bark Busters and your training is, she is determined to convince them to accept a BB gift from her for their anniversary. Because of my glowing review of your very personal approach and demeanor, she has asked me to see whether you can do the training,

Again, thank you for all your help. - Jenn & Mika - June 2008

As I am sitting on my back porch with toscane passed out under my chair I just realised that I forgot something really important in my voice maii earlier- thank you for making last night a unbelievable experience. - You are a gifted communicator and your passion is contagious. You are a very rich man my friend, the right kind of richness. Carpe diem. - Alain B. - June 2008

Thank you so much Graham. It was really nice meeting you! We have been practicing the door bell exercise and taken them out for several walks already. Your system is great and i am confident that Pixie and Rosco will soon become model pets! - Laetitia L. - June 2008

Good morning Graham - Last night, Prada didn't appear to have any issues with the separation anxiety. We did some fake exits and she stayed in her cage quietly until we went to get her out. Also, we went to Little Bear to get the new food and we caged her since our roommates were out also. It went fine when we left, and when we returned we could hear her whimpering a little in her cage before we let her out but she didn't bark or anything. - We also did some exercises with buzzing and knocking, and she didn't bark at all. When we practiced answering the door we needed to correct her with the pillows the first time but afterwards she was fine. So far so good! - Marc B. - June 2008

Hi Graham! - Just a little update. Bauer is doing VERY well. He’s a changed dog. Still a bit excited when people come over or ring the door bell, but we are still working on that. It’s much better in the yard also and on walks, it’s actually pleasant! He sleeps in his crate now and spends his time there when we are out. We don’t even have to say anything, we open the door to the basement and he goes down on his own...wow! AGAIN: THANK YOU!!!
- Veronique F. - May 2008

Hi Graham! - Just a little word from Olivier and I to thank you for coming yesterday. You must get a lot of people telling you how amazing your work is with their dogs but yesterday your work was amazing with us humans! We had slowly given up as we lost battles one at a time, up to a point where we were too discouraged to really put in the effort. - After your visit, Oli and I were back on track! No more horsin' around. We have our confidence back up and we're applying what we already knew but just forgot a little. We should have called before! - This morning I walked Tsuki and the happiness of doing so was back! We passed by two dogs and things went smoothly! She was a little interested in the dog but as soon as I backed up, she was caught in the dilemma of either keep looking at the dog or follow me. She chose to follow me! - Thank you SO much! - Marie-Christine G. - May 2008

Hi Graham - Thanks so much for your help. So far, Jasper is doing great. At first the walking was tough as he hates the rain to begin with so he didn't want to walk at all, but today, walking was really easy. It was amazing: the dog that Jasper hates the most walked by this evening and Jasper looked up but did not make a sound. He went right back to his blanket. We will continue doing the exercises. Thanks again for your time.

Hi Graham - Unbelievable change in Whisky, He is so much calmer. Not jumping, not chasing cars. Barking is almost 0. Tks-Again. - Paul and Marie S. - April 2008

Thankyou! It was great learning from you, it is unbelievable the difference in Whisky. We are on top of him, but already we are finding him to be much calmer. I can`t wait to see the difference when his diet is completely changed over. Will keep in touch and thanks again.

Good morning Graham - I was so happy about our meeting and positive outcome with Kyla, You are the GREATEST DOG TRAINER. If I tell you I'm anxious to get home to her and work together how does that sound ! SHE WAS AWESOME LAST NIGHT AND THIS MORNING. Graham I cannot thank you enough - with you now in our lives, I feel she will be around for so many wonderful years to come and have a wonderful stress free life she deserves . GOD BLESS YOU ! Have a great day - Joanne B. - April 2008

Hi Graham - Captain is doing extremely well. We’ve been leaving him at home during the day, and it’s going very well. We record him while we’re out, so at first he was whimpering for about 5-10 minutes about 5 minutes after we’d left, but very quietly, and not barking. Recently, he seems to be staying quiet from the get-go. So I think the training is a huge success!... So thank you very much for all of your help and guidance. I think that Captain is a much happier dog and Jean-Laurent and I (and our neighbours) are definitely ecstatic! Thank you!!!

Hi Graham - Ellie-Mae is doing very well. She has been behaving sooo well since the training. We see a huge difference in other dogs around here minus the training. She has eliminated all bad habits such as the digging, biting the pant leg, and wining and jumping up for food. She's Happy!!! - Tracy S. - March 2008
