Kelly dealt with Barking, Chewing, Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling
Kelly has helped us so much with our two staffies! We have successfully crate trained them, which they love ! And have now learnt how to correctly walk with no pulling using the techniques Kelly showed us. The continued support and information Kelly has provided us has exceeded our expectations! Highly recommend
Trainer note from Kelly
From exuberant beasts to loving wonderful pets! I have loved working with you both and your adorable staffies, and whilst their jumping, exuberance, digging and pulling were causing issues, seeing the improvements made by the second lessons was amazing! I loved my canine cuddles, and I am looking forward to lesson #3 - thanks for your consistency!!

We would highly recommend Ken from Bark Busters to anyone wanting dog training! Ken took the time to sit and discuss our challenges with our new French Bulldog puppy.
Ken was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful and gave us great advice and demonstrations on how to address each situation.
We cannot thank Ken enough for all his help!

Head Office dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Separation anxiety
I was very reluctant to walk Coco or even take her anywhere due to her unpredictable aggression. WELL! She is not only enjoyable to walk but she is so much happier and calmer in herself. And only after one session! Thanks Faith for your amazing knowledge & patience. Not just with Coco but with us. PS Pepper thanks you too.
Trainer note from Head Office
I was especially happy to help you as your issues went on for years. Keep up the great work!

Emma dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry
Sampson is responding really well to the methods Emma recommend. We are already noticing changes in our pup after one day!
Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Kaytlen :) Sampson, the 2 year old Rottweiler x Australian Shepherd, is a smart boy who knew how to use his charm to get his own way :) Sampson had a list of behaviours that needed addressing, but the thing that was causing the most stress was that he was growling & snapping at other dogs & this behaviour was progressively getting worse. During our first session we showed his family how to take the leadership back at home & addressed: Barking Jumping Pulling on the lead Dog reactivity Behaviour around the front door Mouthing Attention Seeking Separation anxiety Behaviour when his family are eating His family did a great job during the first session and we saw big improvements straight away. Looking forward to our next session and seeing this boy at our park sessions too.

Head Office dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry
We had our first lesson with Faith and as soon as she came into our house we were relaxed. She demonstrated great knowledge and ability in managing our issues with both of our dogs. We were provided with homework and training tools that over the last 2 weeks have seen a great improvement in our dogs behaviour. Faith is professional, friendly and honest.
We look forward to working with Faith.

Glen & Maureen dealt with Aggression, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall
I have just met Glen for the first time as I was looking for some help for my 18 month old Pitbull x.
His approach works and makes sense, it is not cruel or hard on the dog. I am amazed at how fast Silas picked up everything that was being asked, the communication was just perfect! Hes gained complete attention from Silas almost instantly.
After just one class I understand what my boy need to be happy and well behaved.
Thank you for coming Glen I am looking forward to our next class, and the group classes!

Glen is a wonderful trainer. Was punctual, energetic and very helpful. Within the first few minutes he already had my dogs' attention.
He has a genuine love for dogs and interest in you building a positive relationship with your dogs.
Will definitely be recommending him and Bark Busters to anyone needing a little help with their fur babies.
Thanks again Glen from everyone in the Swart Family ?

Glen & Maureen dealt with Barking, Pulling, Sibling rivalry, Toileting
We have 2 miniature Dachshunds, Winnie (1) and Valerie (6 ), and the training has been very effective for both of them. Particularly the younger dog, Winnie, who was a nervous barker, barking at every sound and every person who came to the house, sometimes even her own family members when they came from upstairs! Maureen was very professional, confident and kind to the dogs and the results during her initial session were instant and amazing. There is the need to complete the daily training and reinforcement of the new “rules” and we are 4 weeks into the initial set 6 week period. We will continue on with the training, as we have had such great results so far. We are still working on some of the more minor issues for both of the dogs, but I feel very confident that these will improve in time and we will have 2 perfect little dogs! Thanks Maureen.

28th January 2020 - Catharina Jeffery
Catharina dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling, Recall
A few years back I came across Bark Busters. Thanks to Cat’s help we saw a huge improvement in both of our dogs with lead pulling and recall. One of our dogs was attacked several times as a pup and has been reactive to other dogs ever since. We couldn’t take him anywhere we might run into another dog because if he could so much as see them he would bark, yelp, pull on the lead and shake. After one session of working with Cat he is like a different dog. We have had two interactions with dogs recently where he was much calmer and could ignore them, rather than react. We can’t believe the change in him after one session and look forward to continue working with Cat. If you need help with any aspects of training or behaviour, Cat is so knowledgeable and helpful. I have already recommended her to others.
Trainer note from Catharina
It is so great to get your feedback Rebecca, Darcy (male, 8 year old, Terrier mix) is a great little dog, and being able to help you enjoy him more, take him more places and have him happy and relaxed around other dogs is fantastic! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much to Glen for helping us with Ripley! We noticed an immediate change in her behaviour and you gave us and our dog so much more confidence. The training was comprehensive and you walked us through every step. No question was too hard and it was worth every cent. Would very highly recommend you to family, friends and to anyone who has concerns/is seeking assistance with their dog.

I never thought I would ever have a sane dog that would not only let a stranger in the house let alone a male. Thought it was going to take many lessons to see results not see them in the first 30mins it’s amazing the transformation. She’s a much more calmer and obedient dog now I’m still amazed.
