Glen & Maureen dealt with Jumping up, Pulling
I had been to training sessions before, but the results weren't long lasting, and the use of treats just wasn't working, so I was a bit hesitant, but was amazed by the results. The background information was invaluable, and a must for an owner to understand their dog's behaviour. I'm so glad that this was covered before starting the training, as it made so much more sense seeing it in action. I was a bit worried that Penny would be scared of me after using the training techniques, but seeing the way she looked up at Glen after put all my fears to rest.
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen

Todd dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling, Recall
The training and Phil was very professional and methodical. Phil was inclusive of the entire family and we are looking forward to practicing the techniques.
Trainer note from Todd
Neamsy is a sweet 1 year old Lahso Apso cross Maltese female. She is so cute! However she disturbed her human at home with barking. She also pulled towards other dogs aggressively on walks. We started today with teaching her to love and respect her humans and feel safer. She responded very well. With consistency and patience I'm 100% confident Neamsy will improve in all areas. She did fantastically today at lesson number 1.ðŸ˜â¤ï¸

Philip was extremely informative regarding the training of Bella...unfortunately it was drizzling with rain when it came time to do the leash training but that did not deter Philip, he still went ahead and completed the training...will recommend Bark Busters to others who have unruly dogs...
Trainer note from Todd
Haha rain will not deter Bark Busters! Bella is a lovely 6 month old Border Collie. She has a nervous disposition and serious separation anxiety if left at home. Her humans were captive to this as they couldn't ever leave her alone. She also was a nervous wreck at the vet and behaved badly there. She was very dog reactive when out on walks. It will take patience to overcome all these serious issues with Bella but she made the first excellent steps in her training today. Well done Bella!

Emma dealt with Aggression, Barking, Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry
My training with Emma was wonderful. Within a couple of days I have noticed a massive difference in Frankie's behaviour and have been really surprised with how quickly she has responded to all the small changes Emma has given us in the way we communicate with each other. I am already looking forward to being able to take my dog out and about again without feeling anxious about her behaviour.
Trainer note from Emma
Gorgeous Frankie, the 4 year old Cattle dog X, had a list of bad habits including: - Barking - Jumping - Pulling on the lead - Dog reactivity - Not coming when called - Not giving toys - Digging - Separation Anxiety Frankie's mum did an awesome job during their first speak dog session and we saw immediate improvements in Frankie's behaviour. With her mum's consistent leadership Frankie will be able to relax and become a much calmer dog. Looking to checking up on progress soon. :)

Ken dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up
We are really satisfied with Ken and Bark Busters system. It's honestly been a game changer now after 2 sessions Waddy is a eager student wanting to learn new discipline skills. Was before was the scary lift ride from level 4 to ground with many unknown variables that could arise which would aggravate watego. Now we have been enjoying training lift runs up and down confident with strangers coming in and out of the lift.

Todd dealt with Jumping up, Separation anxiety, Sibling rivalry
The complete layout of the lesson and practical was well, rather eye opening to the understanding for the animal kingdom on how dogs need to be shown who is in charge and Philip demonstrates that really well. But it only works if the family members/humans continue with the training. Philip was really well in executing the practical with near instant results. Our family took on this style with both hands and seeing the benefits a few hours after Philip left.
Trainer note from Todd
Thanks for the great comments! I worked with 3 dogs to deal with sibling rivalry that arose when Hulk, their 15 month old rescue male French Mastiff arrived a week ago. Their existing 9 year old intact male Rottweiler Konan and their 12 year old desexed male Dachshund Sizzle didn't like this at all and there was aggressive behaviour, barking and total stress immediately. By the end of our lesson we were able to pass by Hulk with the older dogs with no reactions at all. We also learnt to help Sizzle be calmer when not with Konan as he suffered separation anxiety badly. We also dealt with Hulk jumping on us and pulling on his lead. Everyone did brilliantly! Mum, Dad, 2 daughters. Two sons were not there and will be shown by the rest of their family how to "speak dog"! Well done guys!

Glen & Maureen dealt with Aggression, Jumping up, Recall
I was afraid that I was never allowed to cuddle and play with my dog anymore, so I'm glad that we can still cuddle but be in control of his aggression and jumping.

Ken dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall, Sibling rivalry
I found Ken's short time with my dog and I very useful. He communicated clearly to me & my dog with keywords for Bodi & explanations for me. I feel that with regular use of what he showed me that I can make good progress with my dog. Such progress has never been easy for me, in her particular case as she is an above-difficulty dog in my experience, in fact, the most difficult dog I have ever owned. This is due to her hyper-excitability and streak of aggression mixed in with her considerable good social skills, which can and have suddenly changed at numerous times. Overall, my time with Ken was very helpful for me. He does a very good job of showing, teaching and explaining.

Ken dealt with Barking, Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall, Sibling rivalry
When we got Beanie, a 1yo, 26kg, Staffie cross, ball of excitement, it was immediately obvious we needed some help to train him. Ken Tran, from the first call and throughout the sessions, was calm, positive and didn't see the mountain of issues we saw, but rather walked us through the training at a pace that worked for Beanie and us and ensuring we were comfortable to proceed after the sessions.
The training itself is remarkable! Beanie responded well in the first session and we saw results quickly. While we all have a way to go, Beanie is generally more calm, suffers less separation anxiety, and barking much less!
We would happily recommend Bark Busters and especially Ken to anyone with a dog! Thanks!
