Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Ken had an immediate positive impact. His advice was clear and straightforward and has been effective. The follow-up was also a big boost. The main issue is for me the owner is to persist with what I have learnt, but both Tuzzi and I are improving

Kye was fantastic! We have had 1 session so far with our 12 week old puppy, and we saw change almost immediately. Kye taught us great techniques and strategies to help us manage our pup when the household is chaotic due to young children. Our puppy now is starting to listen to us by remaining on his bed when told so which has created a much more calmer household.

It has been a week since Philippa visited our house to support with our two Smooth Fox Terriers Boomer (9) and Murphy (8) Our dogs have been reactive and stressed as of late. I became fearful during feeding time and having people over was extremely stressful as the dogs wouldn’t settle and were so over excited. The problems have been escalating with it only set to get worse. Philippa arrived and within 5minutes my dogs were settled and left her alone. We mostly worked on their barking/reactivity and recall. These things will help in all situations and will allow the dogs to see me once more as a confident pack leader. My confidence was shot but in the space of a week I see hope again. We even had a visitor and the dogs did not jump and left them alone. I almost cried with relief. I’m more confident in feeding times and I’m working consistently with recall. Philippa gave us clear instructions and worked with us and what we were capable of. She has been great with communication and I’m looking forward to her return. I’m so hopeful that with consistency I will finally get on top of the overwhelm and everyone else will see the sweet and loving boys we have known for years. Thank you Philippa for making such significant changes in such a short space of time. I have already been telling everyone I know how fantastic she is.

Amazing from start to finish and made us feel confident and we can get to understand Alfie a lot better and lead him through life

Glen was immediately able to take control of my boisterous boy, Yogi. He definitely speaks the language of dogs and showed me some very valuable skills to help with training my dog that I had no idea about before our first session. I like the fact that he's always available to send a text regarding our training or any queries I've had along the way. After the first session we saw major improvement and an almost instant shift in how my dog responds to training and commands. If your dog was anything like mine (pulling on the lead, anxious etc) give bark busters a call. At the end of the day the training is still up to you but the resources, information and support is very much worth it. -Andy and Yogi

Immediate response! From the moment Kia left after our first sessions, Marshall was understanding the new expectations. He pushes boundaries but knows our assertiveness and our directions. We still have work to do but this first week has been so promising I have already recommended Kia to friends. And it’s all done without food being the reward, which was so needed for us!

Laura was fantastic, she explained everything in a very easy to understand way and was very reassuring with her instructions, she was happy to work at mine and my dogs past. Looking forward to her follow up visit to show her our progress.

Absolutely amazing. We’ve never had such easy walks and calmness when coming home from work. Glen was amazing with my Chikita, who is usually terrified of men, within 10 minutes of Glen being around her she was coming up to him for attention. Highly recommend!!

When Glen arrived both Dex and Roxy initially barked and performed as usual but instantly pulled up their socks; their boisterous antics calmed instantly and they paid careful attention to what was acceptable behaviour and what was not, as Glen took charge. We were quite taken aback when observing how important the pack hierarchy was in getting dogs to understand what they are required to do. Glen shared useful techniques and gave guidance on our posture and the use of 'bah' with different tones to communicate with and guide our dogs. This has been working very well over the past few days and we have been able to communicate and dissuade bad behaviours and encourage and reward good behaviour with positive tones, words and cuddles for Roxy and Dex. The tips and collars Glen provided for loose lead walking were very useful and our practice walks are being reinforced daily and getting better each time; this has been a godsend as walks were quite traumatic and no longer an option with the excessive pulling and boisterous behaviours. Peace now reigns in our house and tensions have calmed tremendously around 'zoomie hour' too, as we have considered Glen's suggestions around feeding times and diet. Thank you, Glen. Both Roxy and Dex are completely different dogs and their gorgeous personalities are shining through even more. We are all looking forward to the next visit.

Ric was very professional. He arrived on time for our initial in-home session and was knowledgeable about dog training methods. We were given clear steps and are looking forward to our next session.

Was good. Very informative. Philippa was great

Ric really knows his stuff. Ollie was like putty in his hands.
