8th November 2023 - Glen & Maureen Guelfi
Glen & Maureen dealt with Barking, Digging, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry, Other
Maureen Guelfi from Bark Busters came to help me with my dog Iris. I've had Iris since she was 8wks old; and she's almost 2yrs old now. Maureen is an experienced trainer and has given me hope that I’ll be able to take control of the barking that has been making life a bit unpleasant. I've also had issues controlling Iris' frenzied licking of people who come to visit. Everyone's happy to say hello, but sometimes the licking just won't stop no matter how I was trying to correct her. Maureen assured me that I'd be able to get this unwanted behaviour sorted out too.
Maureen is very clear with her instructions which has made it easy for me to follow on with the training each day on my own. I didn’t feel rushed when clarifying anything I needed more info about, and most importantly I didn’t feel “judged” for the things that I thought I was doing right (but clearly was not!). I am absolutely blown away at the immediate difference our first session has made! In the short time that has passed since starting, I can see a big difference in how Iris responds to me. I've even had feedback from the team at the dog daycare centre that she's been barking at other dogs less! The follow up with me after my initial training session has been great! It's clear that Maureen really cares about our success! I’m feeling confident that I’ll be able to make the changes needed to ensure Iris has the best life and we can coexist without worry behavioural issues. Thanks Maureen!

8th November 2023 - Philippa Dakin
Philippa dealt with Chewing, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall
Philippa was wonderful - she took the time to understand our issues and the personalities of both dogs. She was not judgmental or negative at all, and tailored the training and instructions to how we wanted our dogs to behave within our home.
We have two dogs, and after the first session both were sound asleep because they’d definitely had a good mental workout! Our youngest (9 m/o puppy) has taken very well to the techniques Philippa showed us, and is already doing much better. Our older dog (2.5 y/o) has shown some improvement, but I’m looking forward to the follow-up session to understand what more we can do to stop the barking. I will note that our older dog was quite well behaved when Philippa was around, and the technique she showed us has been helpful somewhat, but will likely require more time and training to really see results.
I was most impressed with the fact that the techniques shown are part of an overall system that you can apply to a lot of different situations. You can see from the first session how getting your dogs to understand this communication style will apply across lots of different scenarios, and this has been very useful with our younger dog.
Trainer note from Philippa
Thank you for the review. Both dogs and their leaders did so well. Great to know they are both responding to the Bark Busters training. I look forward to supporting you as you continue to make progress and put the training into place.

Todd dealt with Pulling, Recall
Thank you Todd for coming out to our home to work with Zeb.
Taking the time to educate us on why Zeb wasn't responding how he should be.
Watching you demonstrate working with Zeb showed us exactly what we were doing wrong and how to correct it.
Thank you Todd, Zeb is realising he is not king of the house.

Martin dealt with Aggression, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry
Martin has helped us with correcting Loki’s behaviour. In just one session, we've seen instant results. It has only been two weeks since the initial session and we are extremely happy with the way Loki has been responding and taking everything in. Very excited for the future and to see even more results.

27th October 2023 - Jakob Mandalinic
Jakob dealt with Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Puppy management, Recall
Very good intro and teaching us owners how to train Lillie. Still need to work on the main issue which Is causing all of us distress. Right now I would recommend Jakob as he connects very deep into us and Lillie.
Trainer note from Jakob
Greetings Jenna and Josh. It was a pleasure working with you both. More importantly I am grateful that you took Lillie an (abandoned dog, left tied to a tree in a park) and giving her a loving home. I knew this would not be easy fix, and visiting a few more times, to work on her anxiety. I'm glad to hear that Lillie is coming along and doing well. I'm happy that the distress has dissipated for both you of you and Lillie. That was always the goal. Thank you both so much for entrusting your loved one with Bark Busters Australia. I would also like to extend my gratefulness for the hospitality that you afforded myself when I came to work with you all over the months. You made me feel like family and it was a pleasure to work with you in achieving our goal. We will always be here for you. Again - it's humans such as yourself that propel the planet forward in Love and what you did for Lillie will forever be etched in my heart.

Maureen, just to let you know for us Finn so improved!!
Still a bit barky but does respond to command (I mean there is just so many exciting birds and passing humans and dogs!!)
In fact today I got a call whilst at work - front door wide open and Finn and Winston just sitting on the top step watching the world go by!!
So thank you

Glen & Maureen dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling
I would recommend, this dog training program, Glen (Dog Trainer) gets the dogs attention within minutes of entering the property
Glen took the time to explain all aspects of training and was super supportive and gave me the confidence that the training would be successful, and we would achieve our goals. Our special boy is a work in progress and i believe with Glens guidance we will get there.
