Martin dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry
We have had so many trainers for Ellie but with no help at all but after only a short time with Martin you could see the difference ......day 2 now and am so excited in the behaviour of our dog
Trainer note from Martin
Hi Karen, thank you so much for the review. It was a pleasure working with you and Ellie to help her understand that she didn't need to be in charge anymore after all this time and so many other trainers. With our Bark Busters training program Ellie will become a better behaved darling and a pleasure to be with. Looking forward to our next lesson.

Kelly dealt with Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Puppy management, Recall
Kelly is amazing! Such a beautiful lady and so easy to talk to, she listened to our problems and what we needed help with, our little beagle is 1yr old and full of energy and gets up to mischief so with Kelly's guidance we have been able to get our second chance with chino!
Thank you so much Kelly!!
Trainer note from Kelly
What a fun lesson! Your family is delightful, and so willing to listen to different options, to regain control of Chino. Beagles can be a challenge to a lot of owners, so you're not alone, but he responded so well to our gentle methods, and he loved the praise! Showing you how to correct the jumping up, door manners, recall (yes, even with a beagle LOL), rough play, lead manners - we fitted so much in on lesson 1, and I cannot wait for lesson 2, where we'll focus on stay with distractions, pulling on lead, and social skills. Well done, and thanks again for letting me help :-).

Ken dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Sibling rivalry
Having recently completed training sessions with Ken for my little buddy Larry, I can confidently say it was a transformative experience. Ken demonstrated exceptional expertise in solving my dog’s issues.
Ken was patient and very professional in teaching my husband and me to train Larry, making a difference in my dog's obedience and behaviour.
Not only did Ken effectively teach commands, but they also offered invaluable advice on handling various situations at home. One standout moment was when my dog successfully learned to 'stay' even amidst distractions—a testament to Ken's dedication and expertise.
Thanks to ken, my dog's behaviour has noticeably improved. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking professional and effective training for their furry companions."

Kelly dealt with Chewing, Jumping up, Puppy management
Kelly is such a wealth of knowledge! Her knowledge of how to care for and train dogs is unbelievable. Kelly gave me the confidence to begin my training journey with our puppy. Couldn’t believe how quickly our puppy responded to the techniques Kelly taught us.
Trainer note from Kelly
Thanks Courtney! Your family has a long history with dogs, and you already had her on the right track, but with some focused behavioural training, she is going to be the most amazing Border Collie! Recall is so important, and no one likes a dog racing through doors, so it was great to get her on the right path. Watching your confidence grow when we did the lead work was excellent, and her relationship with your gorgeous cat will improve with consistency and boundaries. I can't wait for lesson 2! Thanks again for inviting me out to assist :-)

Kelly dealt with Barking, Recall, Other
I was absolutely shocked at the very first command that Kelly gave
Dakota and he responded positively. I instantly thought, we can do this and was looking forward to not giving up on Dakota. I had got to the point that I wouldn’t go anywhere with him as it was so hard to deal with him and everyone would get upset with his high pitched barking at every little noise anyone would make. We are using the technique of ‘bah’ and it is helping so much. Can’t wait to continue so that Dakota can reach his full potential and we will have the tools to help him do that.
Trainer note from Kelly
Thank you so much Kerri! It was so lovely to work with you, your partner and your support worker. When we work with therapy dogs it is imperative that we don't conflict with the awesome training they've already had, and ensure that what we're doing it working parallel to that, and also in a very positive manner. To see your adorable Cavoodle, Dakota, respond to our fun system, within minutes was amazing! He is so super smart, and he realised that barking, jumping up, chasing the cats and pulling on lead weren't on the good side of the behaviour list. For a dog that has struggled with recall (coming when called), he was on point once we finished lesson #1! We will continue to work on cat control at lesson 2, plus get outside and look at recall in an open environment, plus consolidate barking and lead control. Massive well done!

Martin was great we saw improvement within 10 minutes of him being here and he is going along well now and getting better just about everyday and with the next lesson he should improve even more.
Trainer note from Martin
Hi Wayne, thanks for your review and for choosing Bark Busters to help manage Max's barking, separation anxiety, jumping up, answering door, fence racing, biting toes going down the stairs, pulling on lead. It was amazing to see Max responding so well to the Bark Busters training system, keep up the good work! Looking forward to our next session.

Michelle dealt with Barking, Sibling rivalry
Michelle’s knowledge was boundless. She was able to have the girls stop barking and made it look so easy. We have already started training them and feel that we are finally getting somewhere. She was also able to make us aware of the changes to their diet. We thought we were giving them a balanced diet, but obviously not. I would recommend Michelle to anyone who has a problem with their pets. Her handling of our girls made it all look so easy.
Trainer note from Michelle
It was great to work with you and Andrew to help Saree, Bonnie & Maggie - they were determined barkers and it's good to hear that you have taken steps towards being a great leader with them. They responded fabulously to the training techniques and with consistent practice things will be alot calmer and harmonious in your household!

Fantastic training session with Sue. Simple and easy to understand training techniques which assisted with Amber's behaviors after just one lesson. Sue is fabulous to work with and followed up to check on progress.

Ken dealt with Aggression, Barking
I am grateful for the work that Ken has done with Lady, he has improved her behaviour when meeting other dogs and I will keep on doing he has suggested. He provided me with valuable insight into my dogs behaviour, which has helped both me and Lady. Forever grateful.

Kelly dealt with Barking, Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
What we achieved in minutes with our puppers was incredible. Simply being able to walk out our back door without being jumped on and having them try and barge into the house was fantastic. Kelly is so knowledgeable and was able to help us understand our dogs and their behaviour from a completely new perspective. We look forward to continuing our training and it is as much training for the dogs as it is for us as well. Highly recommend.
Trainer note from Kelly
Hi Ramona, thanks so much for inviting Bark Busters in t assist with your Staffordshire Bull terrier and Golden Retriever. Having a new baby is hard enough, but throw into that 2 adolescent dogs? I could certainly see where your frustrations lay :-). What smart dogs you have, they responded to our gentle methods straight away, and with positive reinforcement they continued to display the right behaviours throughout lesson #1. No more jumping and mouthing - yay! I am looking forward to lesson #2, where we will tackle lead walking in public, as well as dog and pram training, so you can enjoy walks with your baby Princess and the dogs as well. Can't wait! Well done :-)

Callum dealt with Barking, Puppy management, Sibling rivalry
Well Bruce is a great listener to anybody other than me! We’ve been seeing a change in his attitude & slowly but surely it’s sinking in. I love your style of training - I must admit though this dog is a much better listener if I have a scooby snack in hand! I’ve never food trained my dogs but I’ve got myself one defiant amstaff!!! I spent almost 2 hours trying to get him back in car after a beach visit last night!
Trainer note from Callum
It was a pleasure to meet you and Bruce. So pleased to hear he is improving, keep up the good work. Looking forward to continuing our program and building Bruce into a wonderful member of the family.
