We have been having drop ins for the past year now with Barking Buds and I can not believe the difference in how our Bailey walks so much better with the trainer Vesi. When we first started he was really reactive to other dogs on the walk, but with Vesi hard work and feedback to us he has improved massively and now copes with walking past other dogs. Bailey absolutely adores Vesi and we have actually used her for looking after Bailey when we have been away. The whole team at Barking Buds are so friendly, knowledgeable and approachable, where no question is silly.

Drop ins and walking with Barking Buds is great. Dusty absolutely adores going out with Vesi, and I find it helps not only with ensuring she has a break when I’m working, but also with keeping her training up. Vesi sends me messages when I’m not in, and when I am, I can see how much Dusty loves it. Beforehand, she waits looking out the window, and afterwards she’s so happy (and ready for a snooze!). I’d definitely recommend, having used Beth for 1-2-1 training, and now for weekly drop ins. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

So pleased we found Barking Buds! My dog loves her trainer Emily, who is flexible and knowledgable. She has been happy to focus on all different types of training and has a really gentle approach - getting to know the dog first and building a relationship as the priority. I love getting a written report every day, telling me what they’ve been up to and how my dog has been in herself. I would absolutely recommend this service - the perfect blend of a loving and trustworthy pet-sitter, as well as qualified and experienced training.
