Todd dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry
Philip was very well spoken and gave excellent instructions on how to train our dogs
Trainer note from Todd
Oden and Freya are 2.5 year old American Staffy siblings and there was a Council Complaint about nuisance barking. They also were hyper and both have damaged their tails through wagging so enthusiastically that they hurt them. Poor dogs! We had a great lesson and saw both dogs much more focused and calm immediately. Specific strategies around barking were implemented and with consistent training we will see 2 much happier pups. Well done to their very loving humans! ðŸ¶ðŸ¶â¤ï¸â¤ï¸

Faith demonstrates her great love of dogs from the moment she met our Zo. She made us very comfortable with the techniques we have to carry on with to improve our dog's behaviour. Zo is a Jack Russell and can be very stubborn at times but Faith managed Zo magnificently. Faith sure knows her stuff regarding dogs.

Ken dealt with Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall
Ken was great with our puppy Lulu. Lulu responded really well to Ken and his commands which was great to see, it gave us peace of mind that with persistence as dedication Lulu would be a well trained dog.

I would like to say that I have definitely learnt new things about how to train a dog who has lots of energy. I’ve had a dog before who passed away recently, and now have a new dog but my family and I never properly knew how to train him.

training today was perfect, Glen is everything my partner and I have been searching in a trainer. he was real and straight to the point and taught us some stuff that has already started to work with my dog within minutes.
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
it was a pleasure to work with these people. All I did was confirm what they where thinking and adding a few different thoughts. The training went very well and they were lovely to work with.

Emma's first session with Kyah totally changed Kyahs behaviour and gave me and my wife so much confidence. Emma is a great trainer . Emma thanks so much.
Trainer note from Emma
Kyah is a stunning 12 month old German Shepherd who had been really pushing the limits with her family. She had racked up a long list of troubles including: 🾠barking at strangers 🾠going crazy when visitors arrived 🾠jumping on everyone & everything 🾠pulling on the lead 🾠stealing items 🾠over exuberant behaviour 🾠being very destructive Her family did a great job during their first speak dog session, and we saw massive improvements in Kyah's behaviour straight away. With their commitment to her training this girl will improve in leaps and bounds. Keep up the great work guys, I'll see you soon. 😊

Head Office dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall, Separation anxiety
Our girls were beginning to develop bad habits around the house, inside and out, and frustrate my partner and I. Jane's training was simple to follow, used firm vocal techniques, quick for the dogs to learn, and lowered our stress levels considerably! Jane was friendly and approachable, and the follow up service and support is definitely worth the upfront investment. I would highly recommend Jane and Bark Busters for any dog training needs!
Trainer note from Head Office
Tom, Stef and the girls certainly took to Bark Busters training methods quickly and effectively - great work everyone!!!

Catharina dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Puppy management, Recall
Cat was wonderful & explained everything with us very well. She has been so helpful. We can't wait to see how Finn improves but even after our first lesson we have learnt so much from Cat and have been putting what we are learning into practice. Thank you Cat!
Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks Gemma! Finn is a 4 month old Border Collie who was nervous of meeting new people and dogs. He was barking and would sometime snap if they tried to handle him. This isn't typical behaviour for such a young puppy so his owners reached out to Bark Busters for help. We had a great first lesson where we saw positive changes starting to happen, I am looking forward to our next lesson with him :)

Emma came out to me yesterday and within 1 hour I had a new dog, I can't believe how easy the techniques are. Highly recommend
Trainer note from Emma
Molly is a beautiful Border Collie x Kelpie who is almost 2 years old. She had been causing trouble for a while, but it was when another dog joined the family that her mum decided it was time to get help. Molly was very snappy and aggressive towards the new comer, and her mum could not have them together. She also caused trouble with barking, jumping, not coming when called, she was obsessed with the family's cats and a nightmare to walk on the lead - if you could catch her to get a collar on her that is. Her mum did an amazing job during our first training session and we saw an instant transformation in Molly's behaviour. She came when called, there was no issue getting a lead and collar on, she started to learn how to walk nicely on the lead, left the cats alone when told, but most importantly of all she was calm and relaxed around the new doggy addition to the family.

18th August 2018 - Kelly McClelland
Kelly dealt with Barking, Chewing, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Toileting
Hi - Loved Kelly immediately! She was kind, friendly and loved dogs. She pointed out what we were doing wrong immediately and told us what we were doing right. She immediately fixed our night time crying issue and nuisance whining and we had only had him 4 days!!!! He has slept through ever since! She helped us with everything from toileting, food choices, sleeping arrangments. The first session was a great informative session and we all got some sleep after! Second session - within less than a minute she had Fred not running through the door when opened. This woman is a magician! Couldnt believe it and so glad to not use choker methods or other cruel methods. Would highly recommend!
Trainer note from Kelly
Isn't Fred just the most adorable fluffy little man - who is going to be a big man, so you did the right thing by doing some early training with your lovely Groodle! Your whole family was so involved, and I was completely impressed with the positive changes between our first and second lesson. I am looking forward to moving onto (puppy) controlled socialisation, and walking skills at our next lesson in a few weeks. Well done everyone!

Peter dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Sibling rivalry
Peter arrived and spoke to us about the training techniques and we straight away had response. It was when I walked outside to the mailbox without crazy barking and biting bought a tear to my eye. I have followed thru with our work today with great success, she did try push her luck but I soon bought her into line it was truly amazing. It's only early days but the change in her today plus her relaxed state is fantastic. Well done.
Trainer note from Peter
Thanks Kerrie, Angel is an 11yr old Foxie Cross that had the whole family in control. She would nip and bark madly when Kerrie walked out her door. Angel responded immediately and was relaxed and calm and stopped her barking and nipping within 15 minutes. Great work Kerrie and thank you for letting me help you with a sweet dog like Angel
