Storm is a lovely 4 year old Amstaff x - and she has landed in canine nirvana! She is well spoilt and totally loved (as they all should be) - thank you for giving this rescue dog another chance at life. Storm responded so well to our gentle methods, and we saw improvements in jumping up, prey drive (chasing the family cat want to play!), pulling on lead, and general lack of focus. Well done to Cheryleen and her family for their daily efforts with training - to see her walking on a loose lead down the street at the second lesson was priceless! See you soon for lesson #3 :-)!

Boydie and Larry are such characters, as most Cattle Dogs are! Both girls are still only young (7 months) but were showing signs of being a little bit pushy, and barking way too much! After our first session though, what a change! At our second lesson we started working on dog to dog management, to allow the girls to start travelling in the caravan without reacting when they saw other dogs - and their brains engaged like a dream. Well done to you both for your tenacity with daily training, 15 minutes a day makes a huge difference. I'll see you all again soon!

Having working breeds like kelpies can be a challenge - add in the word rescue, and we need to be extra caring in our management! Your two dogs are just divine, and you are already doing so much with them - they are so lucky to have you both as owners, your dedication is admirable! Both Zoey and Boots (kelpie x lab x Border Collie x Cattle dog mixes) responded so well to our gentle methods, and I can't wait to start working on street walking (without pulling!) and dog to dog management. Bring on group training! Well done to you both, great job :-)!

Charlie is such a lucky Labrador! He was rehomed with a wonderful owner, and you have done an amazing job with him - at our second lesson today I didn't need earmuffs (LOL!), and his relaxed demeanour, and wonderful wagging tail were fantastic to see. Good to see evidence that more mature dogs can definitely be trained! Great work!

Look at that precious face! Your baby boy, Zeus, was a much more relaxed Staffy at today's session, his barking was minimal, gate work was awesome, and that loose lead heeling was so fabulous to see! Massive well done to you both for your consistent work - I'll see you in a couple of weeks to go to the next step of taking him for a walk to manage the dog to dog reactivity. Well done to you both, AMAZING! :-)

Your gorgeous little Pomeranian x Chihuahua was so adorable, yet loud (LOL), thanks for coming to Bark Busters for assistance! It was wonderful to see the improvements you made between the first and second lessons, and now you have moved house we are thrilled to be able to continue to support you with ongoing training. I am looking forward to moving onto the toileting side of things next lesson!

This is such lovely feedback, Hayleigh! Your gorgeous Frenchie, Brutus, improved out of sight during Puppy Pre-School @ Yeronga Vet, and I loved all my cuddles and watching your bond grow. Well done - can't wait to see the three of you at Group Training!

Kelly dealt with Aggression, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall, Separation anxiety
Both your babies are just delicious! I really enjoyed working with you both, and it was wonderful to see so much respect and positive change from both Trixie and Typo at the very first lesson! Their walking was improved out of sight by the second lesson - and I can't wait to see you at group training for some more fun interactive training for your lovely dogs. Well done to you both, your efforts and consistency have really paid off!

It was such a pleasure to work with you and Harry - from a noisy, overt alert little bundle, to a very relaxed and cuddly companion. Such a huge change between the first two lessons - I am looking forward to working on walking at lesson three! Well done.

Puppy lessons are the play part of my job - especially when they are fluffy cuddly Sibe's!! Miss Maple went from being a chewing fiend to the princess we knew she could be. I enjoyed showing you how to teach her to walk politely at our second lesson, and it was great to hear that her child manners, and sleeping are no on point. Great job everyone, see you for another lesson soon!

Your two rascals are adorable! But when I arrived, the barking, jumping up, scratching at the windows and over guarding showed me why our assistance was needed. I was very pleased with their focus and improvements after the first lesson - and I was AMAZED a the improvement in both of your darlings, when I cam back for your revisit lesson. We then gained control with your gate manners ands walking (always a pleasure to watch an owner walk down the street with two dogs at heel, with wagging fluffy tails!). See you soon for lesson #3 - a walk in the park :-)

Isn't Baxter just the cutest - and what a life, living the dream on the open road! He did so well with today's training session, it was great to re-introduce some door and walking manners, and you did so well making your little mate a much calmer puppy. Thanks for inviting us out to assist, always a pleasure to honour our Lifetime Support Guarantee!
