Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

I didn't know what to expect but peter was amazing with Sophie. Sophie is a 3yr old Staffy x rescue dog and has been with me for 2wks and her behaviours became apparent as she settled here. She has a beautiful nature but was very boisterous and liked to jump,I have a 4 and 8 yr old grandsons and she frequently knocked them over. After 1 afternoon with Peter she is just the most beautiful relaxed caring dog.

We have a very scared and anxious 11 month old GSD who we adopted at 6 and 1/2 months. She is very flighty especially with men but within 5 minutes of Hugh's arrival, his calm, confident and assertive presence had Lola calm and inquisitive. We have received advice from other animal behaviourists who told us medication and patience was our only option for our anxious dog but Hugh showed us she only needed direction, challenges, obedience and lots of praise. By the end of that first session, she was listening to our voices and sitting next to us waiting for her next instruction. It has now been 4 days since we met with Hugh and we have a different dog (and different owners!). She's still our little princess but she's obedient and focused and we will be looking into weaning her off her anxiety medication. The bonus with Bark Busters is the lifetime care and assistance they provide if we ever need it. In saying that, we would highly recommend Hugh to anyone who will listen! 5 stars for Hugh!

Excellent we can already see improvement in his behaviour.

Two weeks after our Italian Greyhound Frankie's first lesson, she has greatly improved! The techniques that Philip taught us (which are gentle and simple!) have really helped Frankie to become a much calmer dog. Her barking has become an almost non-issue and her toilet habits have transformed. The training is simple and easy to stick to - which makes it easy for the dogs and humans involved.

We had constant issues with our boy lunging at cars and people when going for a walk. It got to a point where we could only take him for 10min walks. We contacted Grace and the second she set foot on our property, her training methods were put on display and I was amazed at how quickly it was working. We've had Grace back a couple of times to focus on the walks with our boy and with us continuing the training using her methods, I'm seeing a completely different boy to what we had before Grace arrived. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Grace. You can tell there is a genuine care and she has your best interest at heart. Thank you!

We were very pleased with Hugh. He turned up right on time, was thorough, professional, caring and affectionate with Ellie and we seemed to get results right from the first session.

Hugh was really helpful and informative. He told us so much in the time he was with us. Everything was making sense and was explained so we could easily understand and make sense of what we were being told. We are really looking forward to trying everything out..

Excellent. Heather addressed my concerns with Archer and gave me the reasons behind his behaviour so I could understand Archer's motives. She also gave great training tips which we practiced. Heather made sure that I understood what I needed to do before addressing the next issue.

Faith was incredible. I have a very sick dog who is also super anxious and wasn't listening to me at all. Faith was kind, supportive, super knowledgable and showed me a way to train Hugo that made me feel like I was no longer lost and we could get through this time. Thank you Faith - you have already made such a huge impact and we are only on day two!

A lot to take in. But looking forward to commencing the homework. Can see already how this is going to work.

Cat's training methods have completely changed the way we interact with our dogs, and almost overnight our household became much more relaxed. Cooper, our 17 week old pup, was having issues with aggression whenever he was adrenalised. After only a few days he is much easier to calm down and no longer snaps. The rough play he and big sister, Tara, were engaging in has settled down to a manageable level and I'm sure it will only continue to get better! By day two, Tara was walking perfectly on a loose lead and our daily walks have been such a joy compared to the way they were in the past. No more pulling and constant sniff stops. Both of the dogs are learning boundaries within the house. They are happy to sit on the edge of the kitchen when food is being prepared, even when it's their own meal time, instead of getting under our feet. We're still working hard on our front door training - visitors are exciting! - but they're slowly improving and are eager to please so I'm confident we'll have it nailed in no time. Training using Cat's method is so much fun. We're seeing such rapid improvement in the dogs' behaviour overall that training is no longer a chore. I can't wait until we're at the stage where Tara and Cooper can socialise with other dogs at the park. Because we back on to a busy dog park, one of Tara's biggest issues was fence guarding. She would bark incessantly at the park's busiest times, causing her a great deal of stress as other dogs frequently try to dig under our fence to get to her. Now, after only one lesson with Cat, Tara barks once and can quickly be stopped and called away from the fence and into the house without any issues. Thank you, Cat, for your invaluable advice. We're looking forward to our next lesson and doggie meetups in the future!
