Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials
3rd May 2017 - Peter Adamow
Peter dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling, Sibling rivalry
I do not recall the date of Pongo's first lesson with Peter but he was AMAZING!! He was so respectful of Pongo who is an extremely anxious dog. Meeting Peter was a non event for Pongo. He listened to Peter (who clearly has great rapport with animals) and was very teachable for me. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Trainer note from Peter
Thanks Teri, It was October 2015. Pongo is a male, 4yr old now, Collie x Dachshund that had quite a few issue when we started. Separation anxiety, dog aggression, barking on walks, pulling, nips at hands to name a few. Thank you Teri for your commitment in helping Pongo and working together with Bark Busters. This helped make Pongo a calmer happier dog . Good on you

Todd dealt with Barking, Pulling, Toileting
The explanations explained to help me understand Ruby's behaviour and how she perceived things as a dog made perfect sense and were easily understood and put into practice. It was both interesting and enjoyable and I saw Ruby's behaviours like jumping barking toileting and coming when called all addressed. Looking forward to meeting again with Philip to see Ruby and myself at our next scheduled appointment.
Trainer note from Todd
Ruby is just 20 weeks old and an American Saffy. Very cute and energetic. She responded immediately to the new Behavioural rules. Her behaviour needed improvement and that's what we saw. Well done Frank and Sam.

Cat was so great, we learnt so many things about dogs that we didn't know and had taught us so many skills. Our dog is already improved and we couldn't be happier with the service. We are recommending to all our friends
Trainer note from Catharina
Scooby is a 9 month old Border Collie with a lot of love to give! He responded well to the training that his owners did with him... We addressed the typical "working dog" things like jumping and herding the kids! I look forward to our next catch up..

Catharina dealt with Aggression, Barking, Recall, Other
Catharina spent so much time with us to thoroughly cover all areas of concern with our dog, Rico. She made sure my partner and I were both on the same page and walked us through everything, at our own pace. I was super impressed with her knowledge of all things dog, and have taken on board all she said. She was in no way pushy or overpowering. And last but not least the lifetime guarantee is awesome.
Trainer note from Catharina
Rico is such a lovely 1 year old Red Heeler, and not what you would expect! He is quiet, shy and just waiting for a little more guidance. His owners did that perfectly and helped him to understand that visitors do not need to be feared. I look forward to seeing his progress at our next catch up and having him join in at the park sessions...

Catharina dealt with Chewing, Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Catharina was very thorough and answered all our questions. We were super surprised how quickly Bruce reponded to the techniques she showed us and already see a difference in his behaviour. Really looking forward to seeing bigger and better changes over time all thanks to Catharina. Love the flexibility as well!
Trainer note from Catharina
Bruce is a lovely 9 month old Kelpie who is off course full of energy... It was geat to see him lap up the guidance from his owners and respond so well to them... I look forward to seeing his improvements in the future..

Stefanie dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Recall, Sibling rivalry
I first contacted BarkBusters when I was living in Fremantle, W.A and my Australian Shepherd, Olive, was 8 months old. Heather was a wonderful teacher, very thorough and enthusiastic. It is clear she really cares deeply about what she does. We then unexpectedly moved to Victoria, and with such a big move and Olive's continuing growth, a new set of challenges arose. It was no trouble to transfer to our new local trainer, Stefanie- just one quick phone call and three days later we were back at work! Stefanie too is an incredible trainer, she explains techniques clearly and is very adaptable when things aren't working. She always has creative and practical tools for Olive and I and won't leave our home until one of us is exhausted! Bark Busters is a truly wonderful service that has saved my sanity and my relationship with my best friend.
Trainer note from Stefanie
Olive is such a sweetie! Well done on your progress with her! Clearly the both of you have put in great work and I look forward to any future lessons with her!

Stefanie dealt with Barking, Pulling
Stefanie has been incredibly helpful in training our dog Jeddah. She is attentive, committed, very personable and clearly genuinely loves dogs and what she does. In our initial sessions she was thorough and had many helpful and practical suggestions for Jeddah's training. She took the time to take us through these and even made a visit to my parents home where Jeddah sometimes stays to help them through the same training techniques in a different environment. The training we have done has been specific to Jeddah and Stefanie has gone to great lengths to ensure we address all the different things which trigger Jeddah to bark (even though the list is extensive). We're very grateful for Stefanie's help!
Trainer note from Stefanie
Jeddah's one incredibly smart schnoodle who is so lucky to have a committed owner and also an environment where her friends are readily available to help with the training. It's always such fun to help such enthusiastic people and awesome dog! Well done and keep up the great work!

Martin dealt with Chewing, Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Other
Can tell already that this will improve Teddy's behaviour. Martin made it easy to understand and follow instructions. By the end Teddy was very well behaved, listening and obeying. We liked that treats or aggression were not used. Enjoyed working with Martin on improving Teddy's behaviour.
