18th August 2018 - Catharina Jeffery
Catharina dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Puppy management, Recall
Cat was wonderful & explained everything with us very well. She has been so helpful. We can't wait to see how Finn improves but even after our first lesson we have learnt so much from Cat and have been putting what we are learning into practice. Thank you Cat!
Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks Gemma! Finn is a 4 month old Border Collie who was nervous of meeting new people and dogs. He was barking and would sometime snap if they tried to handle him. This isn't typical behaviour for such a young puppy so his owners reached out to Bark Busters for help. We had a great first lesson where we saw positive changes starting to happen, I am looking forward to our next lesson with him :)

Trainer note from Emma
Molly is a beautiful Border Collie x Kelpie who is almost 2 years old. She had been causing trouble for a while, but it was when another dog joined the family that her mum decided it was time to get help. Molly was very snappy and aggressive towards the new comer, and her mum could not have them together. She also caused trouble with barking, jumping, not coming when called, she was obsessed with the family's cats and a nightmare to walk on the lead - if you could catch her to get a collar on her that is. Her mum did an amazing job during our first training session and we saw an instant transformation in Molly's behaviour. She came when called, there was no issue getting a lead and collar on, she started to learn how to walk nicely on the lead, left the cats alone when told, but most importantly of all she was calm and relaxed around the new doggy addition to the family.

18th August 2018 - Kelly McClelland
Kelly dealt with Barking, Chewing, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Toileting
Hi - Loved Kelly immediately! She was kind, friendly and loved dogs. She pointed out what we were doing wrong immediately and told us what we were doing right. She immediately fixed our night time crying issue and nuisance whining and we had only had him 4 days!!!! He has slept through ever since! She helped us with everything from toileting, food choices, sleeping arrangments. The first session was a great informative session and we all got some sleep after! Second session - within less than a minute she had Fred not running through the door when opened. This woman is a magician! Couldnt believe it and so glad to not use choker methods or other cruel methods. Would highly recommend!
Trainer note from Kelly
Isn't Fred just the most adorable fluffy little man - who is going to be a big man, so you did the right thing by doing some early training with your lovely Groodle! Your whole family was so involved, and I was completely impressed with the positive changes between our first and second lesson. I am looking forward to moving onto (puppy) controlled socialisation, and walking skills at our next lesson in a few weeks. Well done everyone!

Peter dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Sibling rivalry
Peter arrived and spoke to us about the training techniques and we straight away had response. It was when I walked outside to the mailbox without crazy barking and biting bought a tear to my eye. I have followed thru with our work today with great success, she did try push her luck but I soon bought her into line it was truly amazing. It's only early days but the change in her today plus her relaxed state is fantastic. Well done.

Thanks Kerrie, Angel is an 11yr old Foxie Cross that had the whole family in control. She would nip and bark madly when Kerrie walked out her door. Angel responded immediately and was relaxed and calm and stopped her barking and nipping within 15 minutes. Great work Kerrie and thank you for letting me help you with a sweet dog like Angel

Emma dealt with Aggression, Barking, Digging, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall
Emma was fantastic. Spent over 3 hours with me teaching me how I need to be the pack leader of my two dogs.
My youngest picked up on the training very quickly. My eldest was/is a bit slow but hopefully with the ongoing training, he will get better.
Highly recommend bark busters

Ken dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling, Sibling rivalry
Ken has a calm, assertive way with his training methods. He has given my family the confidence to work through behaviour issues by practicing firm but fair training techniques which will result in a more happy, well mannered dog. I can't wait to keep Ken updated with what I am sure will be a great outcome for our entire family.

Thanks so much, Jane. It was great to have you back and we were so lucky you covered our new juridiction, as we had so much success with you when Diesel was a pup. Again today your training and tips were invaluable and reassuring, so we can now be confident we will all settle nicely in our new environment. Bark Busters rock. ðŸ•

Peter was great from first contact, promptly calling us in repose to our enquiry and setting up a session for the following day. Turning up on time, he immediately established a rapport with Winston, and took us through the Bark Busters methods, showed us how to use them, and then helped us to use them correctly. By the end of the session it was as though we had a completely different dog! Since the initial visit, and with the continued practice, the issues we were having with Winston are almost gone, making walking a joy and visit from friends and family enjoyable and less stressful on everyone. Highly recommend Peter and Bark Busters!

Diesel and her family have followed through with all the Bark Busters training and have done an awesome job!!

We were absolutely blown away by Gabriel's gentle but firm nature with our staffy, Wilbur. It was obvious how much he cared for Wilbur and genuinely understood his, and our, needs. Gabriel was punctual, respectful and professional in all interactions prior to and on the days of our appointments. His advice was evidence based and reassuring. Our dog is so much happier now and so are we! We can't thank you enough, Gabriel. We would highly recommend you to any family having major or minor issues with their dog. From your very happy clients, Kate and Steve.
Trainer note from Head Office
A pleasure to work with Wilbur and his lovely owners - a very positive outcome for everyone.
