We have a blue heeler pup / 6 months old. We thought we were doing all the right things, however when Arlo (our pup) started to rule the house with his biting and barking we knew we needed help. When Hugh first walked through our gates we didn't realise how lucky we were all (Arlo too) going to be.
What a guy, Hugh is soft, gentle, understanding, knowledgeable (and that's just with us adults ) He was just as beautiful with Arlo. Arlo stood to attention on Hugh's first "Barr" and learnt so many manners that day. We couldn't praise Hugh and Bark Busters enough for their help, honesty and loyalty to their clients.
Thank you guys, you have made us all very happy.

The training was simple to follow and worked perfectly with Baxter. Baxter responded almost immediately to all of the training and had some impact with immediate results.

Trainer note from Todd
Thanks Hayley! This lesson was a real treat for me! 2 gorgeous puppies!ðŸ¶ðŸ¶ Buster a male Blue Cattle Dog and Borris an English Bulldog! ðŸ¶ðŸ¶. Just 11-12 weeks Old each and so great! We ran through how to communicate with them in “canine†just using our voice and body language. We introduced them to their leads and showed how to show them polite manners (no jumping on us or mouthing/nipping). We worked on Recall (come!) and spoke about sleeping arrangements. After a full 3 hours I had passed on so much knowledge and had seen terrific responses from the young pups. I’ll visit again when their mum and dad request me to.

Cat was very attentive and patient she explained all the techniques to me. Diezel picked up the training, I thought very quickly after just one visit. I heard lots about Bark Busters from friends who had already joined, and that prompted me to esquire.
I'm still working on Diezel's training but so far I can already see a change. I would highly recommend Bark Busters and Cat, as it has given me more confidence in training Diezel.
Trainer note from Catharina
Diezel is a lovely young, 1 year old English Staffi. He has a heart of gold, and just wants to please. He picked up the training well and I look forward to our next lesson!

The dogs responded well to the training on the day, I'm having a little trouble getting them to listen to me all the time but have already arranged another visit for some more help.
In general they have improved already, its only been a week so I'm sure they will behave a lot more in a near future.
Trainer note from Catharina
Bonnie and Clyde are two young 5 month old Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. They were needing help with many of the typical puppy behaviours. Having two puppies at one time can be tricky, but with commitment from their owners and our on-going support I'm sure they will grow up to be great pups!

Kelly dealt with Barking, Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Kelly came to us to assist with our 10month old Cavoodle who is very anxious and was barking a lot at the neighbors and everything else !! After the first session she suggested getting him crate trained to assist with the anxious behavior and somewhere safe for him in the backyard. Within 3 weeks he is now successfully crate trained and a much happier and calmer dog with using the strategies that Kelly gave us. We are definitely one very happy customer!!! Thanks so much to Kelly for all of her assistance.
Trainer note from Kelly
What a different puppy! From a barking and scared little beastie, to a happy wagging tail, walking politely on lead with no barking to be seen - you have done an amazing job, well done!

Upfront and really understanding in what was being told to us.
Trainer note from Todd
This was a special lesson! Thor is a deaf, male 10 month old American Staffy. And his housemate is Zena, a 4 year old female English Staffy. His humans needed help to communicate with Thor. So he would come when called, listen, and not jump all over them. He also had a chewing problem (NBN cables etc!) They are preparing to move to a brand new home next year and definitely want to have better behaved dogs by then! We saw Thor starting to calm down and come when summoned, and Zena showed what a great girl she was too. There had been a few fights between the 2 dogs and Mum and Dad learnt why this was occurring and were shown simple effective ways to stop this behaviour by nipping it in the bud, as it were. A great lesson for everyone. Thank you for allowing me and Bark Busters to work with your great and much loved dogs.

I have had little dogs before and was a little apprehensive about getting bigger dogs. Cat from day one empowered me to be able to train the two puppies I had. She has comprehensive skills and knowledge to tackle any issues that arise. As the dogs grew they developed sibling rivalry, this was very difficult and after trying a range of strategies and many floods of tears we had to make the difficult decision to let one dog go. Cat was so incredibly supportive and always gave a range of options long term and short term, but left the final decision to us.
Cat’s patience, kindness and compassion for the owners and the dogs make her the perfect trainer for your dog. I have no hesitation recommending her.
Trainer note from Catharina
Thank you Janet for your kind words, it is really my pleasure to help you and Matt with Lexi and Karibra. Puppies and dogs are always developing and changing as they mature, and it's good if you have the support to fall back on when you are unsure of what to do. Thank you!

Very impressed. Hugh was very knowledgeable, positive, caring and made our experience fun. We instantly saw a change in Oscar and as long as we keep doing what we trained we know that with Hugh's guidance our puppy will be better than ever.
