Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

From the moment Emma walked into our home we knew right away that we hade made the right decision going with Bark Busters. Emma was fantastic, she really knew her stuff and within 10mins of her being in with Roxy we noticed a change. Emma took full control of a dog that Usually barks, jumps and wants our full attention. Emma explained in a way that we fully understood, the behaviours Roxy is showing was not not just her issue but the way we let her be the Alpha Male as such, which was that Roxy felt that she had to protect us all the time as we were not showing the assertiveness that we should have been. Using the Techniques taught to us by Emma and a simple word and a few toys, we were amazed how Roxy changed over the few hours we spent together. Then when we took Roxy for a training walk, “wow” it was a breath of fresh air and so stress free. We cannot thank Emma enough for what she has done for our wonderful family member. Thanks Emma

Thanks Philip for giving us the tools to properly train our Kelpie Ava! We found the whole process was very thorough. Philip explained and demonstrated the training to us step by step and we were amazed by the immediate results. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Philip if you want the very best training for your dog.

Fantastic service. Philippa was helpful and insightful giving all our family members the tools they need to help with our dogs behaviour. We could see our dog responding to the techniques straight away.

Ken is amazing and very professional

Ken was extremely helpful from the moment I was in contact with him. The first initial green light for me was just his genuine care about helping us with our rescue staffy Mia. He worked with us on a financial basis to ensure we could get the necessary training as soon as possible. Mia being a rescue puppy had a few behavioural issues and extreme separation anxiety which put a lot of pressure on us, however when Ken assisted us, it has been incredible to see her transformation and it has only been 2 weeks! ken is not just there to teach you on the scheduled dates, he has consistently given us tips and advice in between the sessions, it has been such a relief. Thank you Ken for your ongoing support, your techniques, tips and for genuinely caring about our Mia.

At my first lesson with Gabriel, he was very knowledgeable and he taught me a lot about my three year old German Shepherd Theo and why he does the things he does and the best way to combat the issues that I am having with him. I am quite new at handling and being a new dog owner, so I would recommend him and Bark Busters with all your dog issues and training.

The techniques make sense and there was a quick noticeable improvement in Roxy’s barking. I had been told by many that with a 5 year old dog it would be too late to train her but she has definitely improved with training and persistence. I now feel confident knowing what to do. My neighbours and friends have been impressed.

Jane has been absolutely wonderful. She explained things clearly and pointed out things for us to work on and showed us why things weren’t working. She outlined simply the reason why the things she was teaching would work and why things hadn’t been working. It was very interesting to see the difference in my dogs when Jane visited to practice the bark busters methods. It's amazing how things we thought couldn’t be fixed are now something we can handle. We have 3 dogs and this is now manageable with Jane's help. We have two sisters who have had to be separated but would always fight through the fence almost every day. Since Jane has been working with us, we’ve only had two fights in a matter of 4 months and a big change in their behaviour in general. Jane loves dogs and they respect her. It was great to see the difference respect makes with how they listen. What’s great is not only the training but knowing Bark Busters are on call for anything that pops up . Thanks Jane - highly recommend :)

I called Bark Busters for help with an overwhelming number of bad habits my Kelpie X had started to think of as acceptable behaviour. Having just turned two, my Kelpie X seemed to transform from a shy anxious pup into a hyperactive barking machine overnight, making me miserable. She was reactive to everything, from the vaccum cleaner to visitors and car travel. Most worryingly she could no longer calmly leave the house, throwing a loud and very excited barking fit everytime we went out the front door. This was less than ideal at 6am when trying to get her out the door for her first exercise session of the day and I'm sure the neighbours didn't appreciate their new daily alarm clock. Allan was fantastic, explaining the training methods and background behind starting to correct the behaviour. Over a couple of hours Allan walked me through step by step the methods to begin to correct the issues. Overnight there was a 30% improvement in my dogs behaviour. Now, a month later, exiting out the front door is 90% better. We are down to one occasional bark, rather than a two minute unstoppable barking episode. I'll continue to work with Allan on other behavioural problems, like barking at passersby while in the car and pulling on lead. I can't thank Allan enough.

Maureen was fantastic with our puppy, she was very knowledgeable and gave us some fantastic advice for a range of issues.

We learnt quite a bit from Faith in regards to dog behaviour diet and training. I have got some training homework to do with my puppy and even though it feels a bit daunting at the moment - I am very hopeful and excited for the future for Luna and our family.

It was great having Philip come to our home for puppy training. Within minutes Philip had taught us so much about how to train our puppy. She responded to him so quickly and everything he showed us worked! It made so much sense too. Highly recommend Bark Busters
