Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

I thought we had an untrainable dog until we received help from Peter. Our six year old wire fox terrier was ruling our household, had separation anxiety, barking and making a big fuss whenever we left the house, barking at the front door, not coming when we called him, pulling on the lead... the list was endless. We never got any results from other forms of training as they were treat driven and our dog wasn't overly interested in treats. It's only been a few days since Peter training, but our dog has already shown a huge improvement in his behaviour and seems to be a lot more calmer now knowing his position within our family pack. Thank you so much for all your help Peter! You have helped restore peace in our home.

Had a friend visit 2 hours later and Tilly was exceptionally well-behaved. She didn't even bark.

We were sceptical about how successful the training would be but were at the end of our patience with our beautiful but "bossy" boy. Faith instilled confidence from the outset and her natural affinity with dogs shone through. In no time at all we could see an improvement in Clancy's behaviour and although it's early days yet his barking has improved out of sight. He is so much easier to control on his walks and no longer tries to show the other dogs who's the boss. Although it's early days he continues to improve (as do we)! Thank you Faith we would have no hesitation in recommending you and your methods to others.

Our first lesson with Cat exceeded our expectations. She was amazingly knowledgeable on everything we wanted to know plus more. We felt comfortable with her in our house and our puppy Koda responded perfectly to her. We learnt so much in those first few hours. And it was simple, not confusing. There was easy instructions which we could follow as well as the dog. We are looking forward to having a well trained German Shepherd working with Cat You can tell she has the love for animals as well. Not just a job! Loved the extras we received as well. That was unexpected. Training tools and the WaggTagg. Very impressed. Thanks again Carl, Michele and Ebony.

Beautiful Jane has completely changed our lives! Within the first session, Sage and I were transformed. Jane is the most non judgmental, gentle, kind woman who guides you through easy to understand practices that put you as the leader of the pack and give you a much deeper understanding of how and why our fur babies behave the way they do. If you are considering any form of training, I encourage you to call Bark Busters, it will be the best decision you make when it comes to your precious loved one! Sage and I will be forever appreciative of Jane, her kindness and expertise! Thank you Jane, Big love to you always. Tamara and Sage xo

Panda is our 10 month old border collie come former head of the household! I say former because a session with Peter has helped us teach him where he should "sit". Our problems were pulling on the lead, running through doorways, jumping up, jumping onto furniture, excessive barking, stealing food, going upstairs (and using the landing as his ensuite), chasing cars and bikes and anything else that moved, chewing my curtains. In January whilst out on an evening of him taking me for a walk, he spotted another collie on the opposite site of the road and before I could say nice doggy, he pulled me over and I fell and cracked my shoulder!! These are a few of the problems we were having. I'm sure I've left some things out. It's been a week since Peter spent a session reprogramming us and already, even though everything is a work in progress, we've eliminated most of his unwanted behaviours. It's great to watch panda sit at the foot of our stairs longing to run up them but his face actually says "It's ok I know it's out of bounds" (or something along that line). One thing that's helping with his change in behaviour is a change to his diet. Peter gave us some interesting and sensible info regarding commercially available dog food and the comparison to kids and red cordial. He suggested a raw natural diet and changing over gradually. Having raised 4 sons (who have all managed to grow up into well behaved fully functioning men), I changed his diet over to chicken necks etc in one swoop the very next day. I don't know if it's my wishful thinking or not, but one week later we have 2 (we also have a 10 yr old lagotto) much calmer and easier to train dogs. I've also found a fairly local supplier of raw cheap dog food which is really handy. Our advice to anyone who ever has even the most stubborn stain in their dogs encyclopaedia of how to press the buttons of my humans', call Bark busters NOW, and ask for help. It's a lot of my money I know, but it's a gift of a lifetime of support from them and a lifetime of love and peace from your pooch. Well done Peter!

Peter came out to see us yesterday to help us with our very anxious Sadie. She is only 2 years old and we are her third family. She has a lot of issues with separation anxiety and barks when we aren't home. Although it was only our first visit with Peter, we could see results straight away and were really surprised at how quick and effective it was. We still have a long way to go, and need to be consistent with our efforts but I can really see this paying off for us in the long run. Thanks Peter!

Kelly is awesome and can't get a better trainer. She has been doing our puppy school for years after she help one of our nurses with her golden. Both my labs have done puppy school and now are big dog school. Maple my 8 month lab is being a handful and she has been awesome at keeping me calm and working with her. We are slowly getting there. My 4 year lab who still goes every now and again couldn't be a better dog and it's cause of all the training over the years with Kelly.

I can't believe what a difference Emma's training made after the first session. Everest was like a new dog! Emma explained the training really well and involved our kids which was important. The techniques she gave work straight away and with a little work, our kids and visitors will be able to go in the backyard without being jumped on! Thanks so much Emma!

Excellent detailed advice was provided by Lynden. He demonstrated the techniques while just talking with us. We learnt a lot and can see how the techniques work. Great to have options that don't involve hurting the dog. The techniques are easy to implement with the kids. Thank you.

Stephanie is lovely and fantastic. It's only been three weeks but we see such an improvement in our two dogs. I was worried that you can't teach an old dog new tricks but Stephanie showed us you can! She helped us to stop our dogs barking, stop them answering the door and not pull on the lead. She helped us prepare our dogs for our coming baby even practising walking them with the pram. Our dogs are doing things we never imagined they would. Thanks Stephanie.

I was very impressed with Stefanie. Apart from being extremely approachable, she was quite knowledgeable and I saw a vast improvement with Bella and Ollie when I used commands as well as with their behaviour. I can go through a door and not have the pups charge past me. The pups will stay outside for a short while whilst I am inside and not have them banging on the door. I can have my pups in my room at night because Stef suggested getting a toilet crate for them and it actually works. I know I need to be more assertive and to coordinate commands with actions.
