I enjoyed working with Kelly! Kelly gives very clear instructions and advices on how to take better of my pomapoo. Also, she answers all my questions professionally and actually gives me an answer. Definitely recommend her.
Trainer note from Kelly
How adorable is Bella, your little Pomeranian x Poodle - she literally fits in one hand, and she was so much fun to work with! Her vibrant personality and beautiful temperament need to be cherished, so in this puppy management lesson, we focused on calm corrections, showing her non physical escalations to gain the focus, and giving her an absolutely party for reward when she understood the task and got it right. She is so very smart, and I look forward to working on her external work (social skills, pulling, recall, etc) once she is fully vaccinated - in house training was such a brilliant move for you to make, she'll be on the right path so quickly! I'll also see you at your one free session of puppy school, that has been included as well. Massive well done!

I have seen such a huge improvement in my dog Poppy after just one session with Kelly! The training was really eye opening and I realised I had unknowingly been creating all of these unwanted behaviours in my dog by not leading her properly, so it was more training for me (haha!). Kelly is very knowledgeable and has lots of experience, which was very evident after having the session with her and made me feel very confident that I made the right decision. I was feeling very stressed out about Poppy's behaviour and now I am really excited about the training and the possibilities of everything we can do together now 😊
Trainer note from Kelly
Poppy is just the sweetest scaredy cattle dog cross, she thinks she's tough, but she's just a wee little scaredy cat! You were able to gain her focus and control within 5mins of the practical part of lesson 2 (the theory part got everything on the right track knowledge wise!). To to watch her go from a barking, tail tucked, worried working breed to simply relaxing with you, and listening to all your commands, within one session, was incredibly rewarding. At lesson 2 we will focus on her fence running, pulling on lead off site, and start on her dog to dog manners. Setting some boundaries, and putting safe zones into place will definitely her her manners with your older dog as well! Great job, can't wait to see you both again in a couple of weeks for more support and tailored training!

Kelly’s knowledge, expertise and ‘dog magic’ are nothing short of amazing!!
Trainer note from Kelly
Thank you so much for your kind words! You are such a wonderful lady for taking on a rescue German Shepherd Dog, and her fear reactivity certainly needed some focus and love. You are the most amazing owner for getting Scarlet the help she needs - we assessed how "on edge" behaviour by touching on what she is being fed, how she sleeps, and also consolidated and simplified your commands and instructions. Keeping it easy for the win! At lesson 1, we dealt with barking, over guarding, lunging / snapping at visitors, her lack of confidence - and she responded like a dream to our easy and gentle methods. Please be nice and consistent and we will focus on door manners, visitor reactivity, dog to dog manners and her lack of focus when on walks. I am really looking forward to suppporting your journey!

Brilliant first training lesson, can’t wait for the next one. Ric is a true professional and worked wonders.
One word, unbelievable. Bark Busters should be very proud of the fact that they have somebody like Ric working for them. He has not only transformed our dog Kora but, also the way we are going to approach her training as well as our own.
We are very much looking forward to Ric’s next visit in a fortnight .
Thanks Ric it was awesome.

Effective and easy to implement techniques were taught to help with an over excited teen multipoo. Grateful to Rick!

Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m really glad the techniques were helpful for your enthusiastic little Maltipoo teen. She was a joy to work with, and seeing her respond so well so quickly is fantastic. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to support you both. Looking forward to seeing her progress continue.

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.
