Everything was very clearly explained by Philip. I was very pleased and comfortable with all the training techniques shown and used. I would happily recommend Philip to my family & friends as I was pleased with everything and certainly observed noticeable results on the day, I look forward to our follow up visit in a couple of weeks Philip.
Trainer note from Todd
Zara was a beauty! A 1 year old female Rottweiler who Frank had only acquired a week before. Not trained at all, she was focusing on and terrifying their cats, hamster and older dog Lika (a dear old female Shih Tzu cross Maltese). Something had to be done fast! Well, Zara responded immediately and by lesson's end was a different dog! Calm, not jumping on us, and when we refocused her away from Lika she left Lika alone immediately. Walking on the lead, something she'd never learned to do, was also a joy now. No pulling at all! I too look forward to working further with Zara and seeing her settle into her special animal loving family.

We had such a great experience with Bark Busters. The change in Hendrix (and us as owners) in just one visit was phenomenal. We're so happy with the results so far!
Trainer note from Todd
Hendrix is a 5 months old Labradoodle pup and he did the usual puppy things like jump up, not come and generally cause havoc! He is super bright and we saw the lightbulb moments throughout our first lesson! There's nothing better than communication in your pups canine language is there? Well done! And thank you for having me help! I love puppy lessons because I help you avoid so many possible issues before they even arise.

Had a wonderful afternoon with Philip and am feeling so much more positive about my role in training Xena and having a positive relationship with her. I can not recommend Philip highly enough. So much information delivered in a short space of time and the difference I have seen in my dog tonight compared to yesterday and last night is already astounding. Such a fantastic idea to train the dog in your home, it just makes good sense. So many great examples given by Philip using the existing arrangement of our home - which I would not have thought of had I attended training elsewhere.
Trainer note from Todd
Xena is a 12-13 week German Shepherd pup and was biting (hard) with her sharp little baby teeth! Within minutes that was gently corrected. Her mum was great and having lessons at this early age helps start a Lifetime of good communication. I'll be back again over Xena's first year to help her adjust to her life as a great companion dog. She is super cute and just a lovely pup! Thank you for choosing in home training with me!

Catharina dealt with Aggression, Barking, Chewing, Pulling, Recall
We had our first session with Catharina yesterday and she went through some important things we need to know on how to train our American Staffy. Firstly she sat down with me and partner and went over some information in regards to the concerns with have Diesel, how dogs think, why they behave certain ways, what we need to do in particular situations etc. Next Catharina met Diesel and then started to train us and Diesel in the areas we have concerns in. Overall the session went for about 2 and a half hours and already I can see a difference in Diesels behaviour. Catharina is so friendly and knowledgable and I can't wait for our next session with her :)
Trainer note from Catharina
Diesel is a lovely, confident dog. His owners did a wonderful job in learning how to "speak dog." I look forward to our next lesson and Diesel joining in on our park sessions :)

Cat has been amazing with Hank, she is really caring and has a firm but gentle approach. Being a rescue Hank has many issues, but after only 2 sessions we are making huge progress. We are looking forward to our next session, and ongoing training to help him become a calmer, more balanced dog.
Trainer note from Catharina
Hank is a lovely Doberman, who did came to his new owners with some behavioural issues. I'm very pleased that Emma has entrusted her loved boy to our training system. He has already made some great improvements, and I'm sure that we will still achieve more...

Very organised and well prepared. He was calm and simple in his approach which turned out to be highly successful. Would highly recommend services to friends.

Catharina dealt with Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Catharina attended to my Lab x Kelpie pup to address the behavioural problems I was experiencing with him ie jumping up at people, pulling on the lead, chewing.
I found Catharina to be very professional, patient and understanding and the training methods that were applied were simple but very effective. By the end of our session I had a new dog, he was well mannered and obedient it really was a great achievement and it also allowed me to have a better understanding of my dog. I look forward to continuing with the training in the future.
Trainer note from Catharina
It was so great for me to see how differently Huey responded to you when you started to work with him :) I look forward to seeing how well you have done in our next session...

Can not thank Neil enough for the help he has given us for our 9mth puppy Zoom.
Zoom is a rescue puppy and was abandoned by a busy motorway with his siblings at 2wks of age. He was therefore very anxious of cars, trucks, men, scooters, bikes, loud noises etc. Walking him was a nightmare and some days we couldnt get further than just outside the gate. Then there was Zooms destructive behaviour to get attention.
Neil explained what he would do very clearly before arriving and also helped us to understand how to better communicate with Zoom to help him to stop the negative behaviour like jumping, nipping, refusing to walk as well as his anxiety.
We went for a walk with Zoom to learn how to help him and by the end of the walk Zoom was so responsive I was blown away.
Neil was fantastic and we would recommend him to anyone looking for help with their dog. Thank you Neil for coming to the rescue. We look forward to giving you the progress report in a few weeks.

Peter dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall, Other
The training with Peter was amazing, I could not believe how patient and kind he was to Nelson and within half an hour Nelson was responding and it is like we have a new dog. Nelson has continued to improve everyday and is so well behaved - we are having trouble replicating bad behaviour to do our bark busters training! Peter worked with the whole family and provided detailed information and many helpful tips. We are so thankful to Peter and would very highly recommend Peter and bark busters.
