Amazing! Just one session with Emma has already given us instant results at home! I couldn’t recommend Emma and the bark busters team enough for giving us the help to bring our dog back to a beautiful and well mannered part of the family
Trainer note from Emma
Ollie is a stunning 4 year old Swiss Shepherd, and his mum initially called Bark Busters to help with his dog reactive behaviour. Unfortunately Ollie had been attacked by other dogs numerous times whilst he was growing up & this had left him with quite severe dog reactivity. To help Ollie to get over his fear of being attacked and be able to relax, we showed his mum how to take the lead and show Ollie that she was in charge and would protect him. We also dealt with Ollie's pulling on the lead & not coming when called, and his attention seeking behaviour & behaviour around the front door too. :) Ollie's mum did a great job & with her consistency & Bark Busters support Ollie will continue to improve.

Trainer note from Emma
Ella the 6 month old American Bulldog x American Staffy was up to no good, and as she was already growing into a BIG girl her family knew it was time for help, so they called Bark Busters. Her mum's biggest concern was Ella's dominant and sometimes aggressive behaviour towards her 5 year old Maltese x Shih Tzu brother. During our first session along with her behaviour towards her brother we dealt with: - Barking - Jumping - Pulling on the lead - Answering the front door - Destructive behaviour - Recall - Visitors arriving - Recall We saw an instant turn around in Ella's behaviour & I cannot wait to see her continue to progress. :)

Emma is AMAZING!
We asked her to help us with solutions for walking our 4 month puppy Steve, as he was very fearful of and reactive to other dogs. What we didn’t realise, is that she would help us with so much more!
Not only is Steve now an absolute pleasure to take for walks, his compliance with basic commands has improved drastically. He sits, stays, waits for food, doesn’t barge through doors without being invited in, he is more relaxed when visitors come over, doesn’t jump up on people, and the play fighting and food aggression towards our other dog has also greatly reduced.
Using the simple but highly effective strategies that Emma taught us means that we are confident and in control.
We have successfully taken him to meet and play with other dogs without incident.
Having Emma share her magic with us was truly life-changing for us all. We love our beautiful boy even more than we thought possible.
Thank you Emma, we are so appreciative of everything you have done for our family.
Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Jane. Steve is a great puppy, who with your leadership will now grow into a fantastic job. It's been great already seeing you guys at our park sessions where you can practice your skills further.

Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Michelle. Django, the 17m old Red Heeler, and Summer, the 5 year old Mastiff x Cattle dog, have recently moved from a cattle station to suburbia & their behaviour needed to be brought into line. Between them they had a list of problems: - Barking - Jumping - Pulling on the lead - Recall - Mouthing - Hyperactive behaviour - Rushing to/through the front door - Pestering for attention Django was also very possessive with toys & food, and Summer was suffering with anxiety, she was storm fearful & fearful of men, particularly in hats. Their mum did an awesome job & we saw improvements with both dogs straight away. Looking forward to seeing their continued progress & having them at our park sessions soon.

An amazing experience.
I never thought tucka my dog would learn things just on the first session.
So over the moon with this thank you so much.
Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Brianna. Tucka is a gorgeous 3 year old Staffy x Pitbull, but his behaviour didn't match his good looks. His aggression towards visitors meant that his mum was EXTREMELY worried about people coming to the house, and his aggression towards people & dogs on the street was so bad that he really wasn't being walked. Along with his aggression Tucka was also causing trouble with: - Barking - Jumping - Mouthing - Not coming when called - Separation anxiety - Sneaking onto the sofa Tucka & his mum did an awesome job during their first session, and within a couple of hours Tucka was calm and relaxed inside the house and listening to his mum. Keep up the great work. :)

Our new little 8 week old Cavoodle Jemma has had 2 lessons with Bark Busters and its great to see what a few lessons can do to control the bad habits and make her into a pleasurable dog, well done ☺
Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks Phil! Jemma is a gorgeous pup, full of energy and loves testing boundaries as most pups do! It has been a pleasure to help you start her training journey right from the start to help her grow in to the great, well behaved dog. We addressed jumping, play biting, toilet training, lead training, recall and boundary control in her first two puppy lessons. I know that she may continue to test the boundaries as she grows but with the lifetime support guarantee, I will always be there to assist you when needed! Thank you! :)

After enduring anxious barking when people arrive at our house and protective nervous behaviour at the beach and park, it is incredible how quickly Winnie has responded to Cat’s training techniques.
Within the first week of training I can already see an improved version of my dog.... looking forward to watching him grow into a confident responsive boy!
Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks so much for leaving a review Lauren, it really has been a pleasure to work with you guys. It has been great to see Winnie become calmer and a lot more responsive to you when he has been off lead and there has been barking dogs around and distractions. I look forward to continuing the support for you and Winnie (and Bonnie too!) Winnie - Male 11 month Border Collie x Kelpie

Head Office dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Recall
I was so concerned that I would be judged and would feel so embarrassed due to my dogs behaviour. Faith made me feel at ease before she had even arrived at my house. Her communication was fantastic which in turn has helped me train my cheeky dog. The progress is great so far and I have confidence knowing I can always call Faith again in future if I’m having troubles.
Trainer note from Head Office
It was a lovely lesson full of laughs and great progress. You are a wonderful client!

Emma was very knowledgeable and thorough, she picked up immediately what was required for Sophie. She implemented an easy and very achievable training schedule. I highly recommend Emma if anyone requires dog training in the area.
Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Craig :) Sophie, the 4.5 year old German Shepherd, was struggling with separation anxiety, which led to her howling & barking whenever she was left - this was not much fun for Sophie, her family or their neighbours!! So her dad called Bark Busters for help. After teaching Sophie's family how to speak dog, we addressed her separation anxiety along with: - Barking - Pulling on the lead - Jealousy of the cat - Sleeping arrangements - Dog reactive behaviour Her family did a great job & with their continued training Sophie will go from strength to strength.
