Philippa dealt with Barking, Puppy management, Recall
Philippa came to help me with my 7 month old shetland sheepdog puppy, Pearl. I wanted the tools to train Pearl in a kind, consistent way, and Phillipa taught me how to use dog psychology to train Pearl. After the session, I had the tools to stop Pearl barking and to improve her recall and other puppy behaviour. I highly recommend Bark Busters and Philippa to get you on the right track with your dog.
Trainer note from Philippa
Thank you for the feedback Bronwyn. Keep speaking dog. What a lovely puppy and great to have Pearl putting the right paw forward. Well Done to all.

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure working with your dogs — they’re wonderful individuals with such unique personalities, and I loved seeing how quickly they responded once we tapped into what each of them needed.

Cat is very professional and has a fabulous affinity with dogs. Her training methods are brilliant - the change in obedience was amazing to see. Can’t wait for the next lesson! 😊
Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks for leaving your review Marie, it was great to work with you and Nel (3yo Fox Terrier x Jack Russell) to stop jumping, continual attention seeking and help her be more relaxed and at ease. Looking forward to your follow up lesson to work on her walking and focus when outside of the home.

Phillipa came into our lives exactly when we needed her. She helped us understand our pup better and provide her with the structure and training needed.
She was kind and clear with everything and got everyone included.
We couldn’t be happier.

Milo responded quickly to the training techniques and a great plan was put in place for us to follow to reinforce the training moving forward. Milo still has a bit to work on but with a lifetime of follow up included I feel confident we’ll have a well behaved but still active dog in the future.

Cat, our trainer was exceptionally knowledgeable and confident in the methods she taught us.
We were able to achieve very quick results and were given a good road map for how to continue the training.
We are so happy with the results and excited to keep training!
Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks for your review Jake! It was a pleasure to hep you with Louie (6yo, Cavalier x Shih Tzu) to stop barking continually at delivery drivers, visitors and noises she heard up and down her street. It was great to see your progress at your follow up lesson and see her much more relaxed. You've done so well with her :)

Ric dealt with Barking, Digging, Jumping up, Pulling, Toileting
We were very impressed with Ric’s approach to helping us deal with a six month old pup which had had no previous training.
The problems we made him aware of were recognized and addressed with positive results.
We will certainly continue with his recommended training regime and look forward to having a well behaved adolescent dog!
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. It was a pleasure working with your young pup, and I’m really glad to hear that the early changes are already making a difference. At six months, he’s at a perfect age to start building good habits, and your commitment to the process will set him up beautifully as he grows. I’m delighted that the areas of concern were addressed in a way that felt clear and effective for you. Consistency with the training regime will continue to strengthen his confidence, decision‑making, and overall behaviour as he moves into adolescence. I look forward to supporting you both through the next stages and seeing your pup develop into the well‑mannered dog you’re aiming for. Great work so far — keep it up!
