Very helpful and simple to follow
Trainer note from Todd
Pippa is a 4 year old border collie rescue who has shown anxiety and dog aggression when out of the house. She responded brilliantly today to the new pack leadership at home and with consistent training and ongoing leadership I am sure that her anxiety about other dogs will fade. Patience and consistency will be needed by her loving doggy owners.

Peter did an awesome job with your cheeky little bully. She wasn’t one for physical activity, she walked for 5 minutes then would throw a tantrum. With in 1 session with bark busters and consistent training, Ava is now walking with no tantrums.
She is becoming the perfect little bully. She no longer jumps on guests and she is controlled around kids. We now know how to train and speak her language. We would highly recommend. Thanks so much!

Trainer note from Ken
Neptune is actually a really sweet cavoodle x maltese. He just thought he was the pack leader.

Michelle dealt with Barking, Pulling
We had a wonderful experience with Michelle. Her training methods were gentle and effective and my dogs seemed to really respond well. I now feel armed with the tools I need to curb my dogs' behaviour issues. We would highly recommend her to other dog owners.
Trainer note from Michelle
It was a pleasure to work with you, and your beautiful playful pair of Groodles - Hazel & Judy. They both responded really well to the training - focusing on you and listening well. Keep up the great work with your practice sessions and you'll have the barking under control and be enjoying a pleasurable walk in no time!

Head Office dealt with Barking, Recall, Separation anxiety
The difference has been immediate and it is so valuable to finally take the guess work out of the issues we’ve been having. This stuff isn’t on YouTube or on google and it seriously is amazing. It has changed our lives. We can finally have a cuddle without being barked at and we are well on our way to improving so many other things. Jane is lovely, attentive and picks up on the subtlest of behaviours (in how we are acting too) and I’m so glad she came into our lives!
Trainer note from Head Office

Todd dealt with Jumping up, Pulling, Sibling rivalry
Very helpful in immediately understanding how to be pack leader.
Trainer note from Todd
Vinny a 1 year old male Golden Labrador and he was rescued at about 7 months. His start to life has been difficult with him travelling all the way to Western Australia and then coming back to the breeder in New South Wales when the person in Western Australia surrendered him. A lovely dog he was suffering some separation anxiety and becoming demanding in attention-seeking and barking. He responded brilliantly to his first lesson today. Well done Vinny.

Kelly dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Other
My dog was always jumping on people, barking and with my new son was getting aggressive. Kelly showed us techniques we can use to control his behaviour and now we when visitors come over they are surprised by the difference in his behaviour. Around my now 5 month old son he hardly even pays him attention anymore and if he does he keeps his distance and isn't aggressive towards him now.
Trainer note from Kelly
Tard is such a dude! With working breeds in his make up (Border Collie x) we had to get his brain engaged so he could relax, and I was so impressed with how much he had improved between lessons! Thank you to you and your family for following through with the daily programming, and other recommendations, you have done a wonderful job (child safety is so important, and it is so great he is so much calmer.

Head Office dealt with Puppy management
Faith’s affinity for and love of dogs was apparent the moment she walked in the door. The Bark Busters techniques and instructions she demonstrated are sensible and clear and we are seeing a positive response from our pup in a relatively short period of time. Knowing that Faith will continue to support our efforts is very reassuring as we do our “homework” with Milo.
Trainer note from Head Office
You have the most beautiful pup and Milo is heading toward being the very best he can be!

Awesome, simply awesome. We've seen huge improvements after the first session and would definitely recommend
Trainer note from Emma
Murphy, the stunning 6 month old Golden Retriever, was pushing the boundaries & with a newborn baby at home it was time to get him on the right track, so his family called Bark Busters for help. During our first session we covered: - Recall - Answering the front door - Pulling on the lead - Jumping - Barking - Digging - Stealing things - Pestering for food - Boundary control around the kitchen & bedrooms Murphy and his family did a great job & we saw a huge transformation in his behaviour. Looking forward to seeing his continued progress and having him join us at our park sessions too.

We would highly recommend Bark Busters! Our miniature bulldog Glen was completely out of control as were the humans at this point. Emma was just brilliant from the moment she walked through the gate. The change in Glen has been instant with the very easy techniques she has taught us. He is just so calm and now actually listens. The ongoing training and support are a fantastic advantage.??
Trainer note from Emma
Like his mum says, Glen was out of control when they called for help. He was ruling the house & everyone in it, and his behaviour was going from bad to worse. However, what may have seemed like an impossible task, to turn his behaviour around, started in the very first session. Glen was extremely aggressive towards visitors arriving at the house, so once we had passed that hurdle we sat down and wrote a list of issues which included: - Visitors Arriving - Family members leaving - Barking - Crying - Jumping - Aggression over possessions - Separation Anxiety - Rushing through doorways - Pulling on the lead - Refusing to get off people's beds when told & reacting aggressively - Not coming when called - Not sitting or staying when told - Stealing things - Nipping and mouthing - Chewing - Behaviour & Safety around the swimming pool Glen's list was comprehensive, but his family were committed to making the change for them as much as for Glen, so we set to work. By the end of the session we had seen a massive turn around in Glen's behaviour & his family had a training plan to work to. At our follow up session a few weeks later Glen was like a different dog, his family still had a bit of work to do, but he was 1000x better than the first time I arrived. They had done such an amazing job our main focus for this session was recall with distractions, and pool safety with behaviour in and out of the pool. Fantastic work guys. :)

Stefanie dealt with Aggression, Pulling
We adopted a beautiful American Staffy but had issues controlling her on walks. Stef has made what we thought would be impossible a reality! Our girl now listens to us thanks to Stef and we look forward to future training and development.
Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Niamh! Sweet rescue staffy Stella has certainly come a long way! It is really heartwarming to see her be in such a loving home with committed pawrents! Well done establishing leadership and also toning down her reactivity. We will continue to monitor her progress and improve it with time. Please keep up the great work!

Keep up the great work guys.
