Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Emma, how some really simple ideas that worked, for the first night we now have a puppy, the is house trained at night and 80% during the day.

Maureen has always been straight forward while calm, patient while assertive. So happy with her delivery of the training and of course the results! She is confident in her methods and we definitely see why!

The training was remarkable. Our pup is only 6 months, but don't let his age fool you! He is smart, cheeky, intelligent and sneaky, but his personality is one of a kind. Glen came in and immediately Pluto's vibe changed - he knew who was in charge, Glen is friendly, so beyond knowledgeable and has really helped being sanity back into our house hold. He corrected the things we were not doing quite right, and encouraging us for the things we tried to get right. He had taught me and partner so much and we've still got so much more to learn. What's really made me feel good inside is sometimes you see dogs get trained and things change and they start to lose who they are a little bit. But Glen manages to teach you and build your skills and allows your dog to have his/her own personality, i have seen this with multiple dogs he has trained it's amazing!! We have been referred to by friends/family members of ours. I am really looking forward to our new puppy training with Pluto, and seeing all the progress we continue to make with the help of bark busters. You have really really made having a first time puppy be so easy!! Thank you so much.

Glen is very knowledgeable and offered great advice and suggestions in trying different techniques to correct our puppies behaviours. I will definitely recommend to friends and also clients we have through my work at the Vet.

We came across Bark Busters in a last attempt after trying several other methods to reduce our dog (Ralph) aggression and anxiety. Our dog trainer Val was extremely understanding, knowledgeable and patient after just one session (3 hours) our dog was calm, passive and relaxed. I was very sceptical to believe such a lasting change could be achieved in such a small time frame (3 hours). I highly recommend Val to everyone, in fact, I feel the type of education Val delivers should be mandated for all dog owners. Thank you, Val, for everything!

Faith was a pleasure to deal with. She put us as much at ease as Huey. Great results for Huey. He caught on really quickly. We were very stressed prior as Huey was a rescue dog with issues we didn't know he had. A lot calmer household.

Jane was fantastic and she helped us so much - we saw a different dog from the first session. My 2-year-old kelpie was a rescue dog and came without much history of behaviour control or boundaries, and appeared unfamiliarity with streets, leashes, traffic, people. Jane helped us to understand how to put boundaries in place to shape a quieter more attentive dog, how to manage separation anxiety, and how to have her walk comfortably on leash. Throughout it all she was warm, caring, and gentle with Ginja. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jane!

The instant result of Zoro responding to that one magic word, was amazing. Our other dog, Lucy, has also learnt from it. My husband James, proved to be a natural in applying the techniques we were taught for walking leadwork and door exercise. I will need to practice. I had a better result the next day, when it was just me and Zoro.

For a young dog/puppy that is nervous, finds it hard to calm down in group sessions and has had a scare from a very large unsocial dog out in public. We have found our fist lesson at home very rewarding. Having Cat come to the house so that Emma has a chance to learn in a less stressful environment has helped with Emma and that I am very thank full for.

From the moment you walked in you were working on the dogs behavior. And they actually responded. We were shocked. We both thought it would be a lot harder than it has been. This is only our first session but we're really happy with progress so far.

Me and Radley are so much happier after your (Maureen's) help and I am completely satisfied with the service. A lot of what Maureen said resonated with me - in that I understood how my puppy thought so I could train properly. I think I learned just as much as Radley. Life improved immensely after our first lesson. You guys are lifesavers.

The training was transformative! Glen was friendly, helpful and very professional and above all made the desired outcomes seem very achievable . He explained all aspects of the program in very straightforward terms and enabled me to be the 'expert' with my own dog . I particularly liked his direct assessment of the issues and the way in which he directed me to be able to change my dogs behavioural 'problems' by actually changing mine! The program is very client centred and I cannot recommend the service highly enough
