Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials
30th June 2024 - Emma Reeves
Molly is a rescue of nearly 2 yrs old. She was living in fear from the neglect she received from her previous owners. She constantly barked at the slight drop of a pin, any noise set her off, she barked at humans and dogs. She had no discipline.
Emma came to my rescue and within 3 hours Molly was a changed dog. Molly was listening to my commands that Emma taught me and her barking had dropped 85%, it was a pleasure and relief to see Molly respond and more relaxed in her environment. Unbelievable change in 3 hours!
In 2 weeks Emma will walk Molly with me to the outside world she still fears but in the meantime I am putting in the training daily and seeing HUGE change for the better.
Molly now has hope and Love.

Throughly enjoyable experience learnt so much. Thank you.
Trainer note from Emma
It was great to meet you and your gorgeous Border Collie, Jessie. We saw great results during our first session, covering barking, jumping, pulling on lead, reactive behaviour, attention seeking, nipping and visitors arriving, and I'm looking forward to seeing your continued improvements at our next session soon.

Emma covered all aspects of dog behaviour. Already I feel a vast improvement in behaviour, especially control of barking and jumping. Still have a way to go, but with Emma's guidance and assistance, Ziggy, Ralphy and I will get to where we want to be. Many thanks Emma and BarkBusters.
Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Steve. It was lovely to meet you, and help you to become the leader for Ziggy & Ralphy. I'm sure that with your guidance their behaviours will continue to improve.

Emma dealt with Aggression, Barking, Sibling rivalry
Emma has been amazing when helping us with some behaviour issues with our dog, Koda. Koda responded to Emma's training immediately and we saw great progress. Emma was always willing to help, taking phone calls and messages whenever we were concerned. I would recommend Emma to everyone!

Emma dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry, Other
Emma was absolutely amazing. Very prompt and friendly. Knew what we were dealing with before we even explained it all to her.
Went through all of the info in a way that we could fully understand.
Tikaani kept jumping up while we were going through the plan and Emma kept telling him, that's going stop in about 10 minutes, mate. LOL.
And sure enough within the first command he knew there were new pack leaders. It has now been 1 week and the difference is amazing. Still a bit to go, but Emma's instructions were spot on.
Well worth the time and cost. We look forward to continued improvement.
Thanks Emma and good luck with the new baby.

Thanks David, It was great to meet you and Sorja with your super cute Miniature Labradoodle, Tikaani. You did such a great job during your first session, where as you mentioned, Tikaani very quickly understood that there were new leaders :) We addressed a multitude of issues including Barking, Jumping, Visitors Arriving, Pulling on the lead, On lead reactivity, Following you around and Separation Anxiety. I'm looking forward to hearing of his continued improvements & seeing you guys again soon.

Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Lisa, it was great to meet you and your son Ben, with cheeky Chocolate Labrador Milo. During our first session we set about addressing the leadership within the home and started to work on some of Milo's behaviours including barking, jumping, pulling on the lead, on lead reactivity, recall and stealing food. Looking forward to continuing your training at our next session.

Emma dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
A lot to take in on one session. I’m a bit overwhelmed with all the information but will get there in time. I am just concentrating on a couple of things at the moment.
Trainer note from Emma
Thanks for taking the time to write a review Kaye. It can be a lot to cover in the first session, especially when you have 2 dogs. But you along with George & Maggie, the Australian Silkie Terriers, all did great. Looking forward to our next session to catch up & see their progress with walking, barking, visitors arriving, jumping and a few other things.

Emma dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
Emma was amazing, put our minds at ease instantly on what and how we go about the training and reassured us during the session on how we were doing. Best of all she took the time during our first meeting to listen and address our concerns and explained how to do this. Molly and Arabella have responded within 24hrs it is such a difference! Of course training will continue and we look forward to achieving our goals with our girls. Thank you Emma.
Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Linda, It was lovely to meet you guys with your gorgeous Labradoodle girls, Molly & Arabella. There was a lot to take in during our first session as we covered everything from barking, jumping, visitors arriving, walking on their leads, recall, door and gate control to sleeping arrangements and general leadership. But with your continued training these girls are going to go from strength to strength. Looking forward to getting back to check on progress.

Emma dealt with Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall
I would highly recommend Emma to anyone wanting to resolve any pup related or more so owner related issues. Very professional service and easy to deal with. My little Malamute is a typical 5mth old with all the usual puppy traits and Emma's input to change both our behaviours was much welcomed.
Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Bruce. It was great to meet you with Summa, and address her typical puppy behaviours of howling/barking, jumping, visitors arriving, walking on the lead, recall, mouthing and general behaviours. Keep up the great work & I'm looking forward to checking in on progress again soon.

I was very nervous before we started but Emma explained it very well. As we are only started a few days ago, I am still uncomfortable with some of the instructions but i am sure I will get there.
Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Janneke. It was lovely to meet you & Anneke with the gorgeous Vamp. I'm sure that you will be getting used to the training now, there was a lot to address with Vamp in the first session, but your biggest help for him will be helping to deal with his fear aggression. Looking forward to seeing you again next week.

Emma dealt with Puppy management
Molly our 9 week old Kelpie pup was quite a handful! She terrorized the kitten, chewing her lead and generally doing all naughty undisciplined puppy things! Emma was to the rescue and life a few days after her visit is much easier. Daisy the kitten and Molly are getting on so much better now that Molly backs off with a command when she is getting too rough. Molly's training has only just started but already there is much improvement in her behavioral issues that we had with her. Thanks Emma and look forward to your next visit.

Thanks Tracey, it was lovely to meet you guys. Really looking forward to my next visit & continuing our training with Molly.
