I was hoping to start training my 8 week old puppy as soon as possible to ensure bad behaviours are fixed or don't happen at all. She responded to her training really well and I feel that knowing I will be able to have help and pointers for her whole life is reassuring.
Trainer note from Catharina
Asta is a gorgeous little Staffi puppy. Its so great when I can help owners right from the start when they bring their little pup home. It does make the world of difference in the long run. Asta responded very well, and I look forward to seeing her again soon...

Really good to spend enough time on the training to get through the exercises and have enough owner corrections.
Trainer note from Todd
Yes we never rush the lesson! Sue's dog is a Pomeranian male, Ted, about 2 years old who she rescued quite recently. He has been barking up a storm, especially at the neighbours. They have been wonderful and patient but Sue really wanted to curb this barking. Ted also has bitten one son and snapped at the face of another. He was very protective of Sue and didn't like new people entering the home. With a large family of 7 Sue needed much better control of Ted. We saw him respond really well today and Sue was able to call him away from a distraction well. His barking diminished immediately and Sue leant lots of techniques to help with this. He still has a way to go to not bark at the neighbours but Sue saw big improvements today. Well done Sue and Ted!

The dog training with Heather was fantastic. She listened to our concerns, understood what we were wanting to achieve and showed us how we can do it. The techniques that Heather taught us were explained really well, she explained how to do and what not to do. Guided the family through each technique.
Heather has left us with some really great techniques where we can put into practice but also an information pack where we can refer back to as well.
Best of all, the training has given us the confidence to be able to handle our dog both at home and in public.
Thanks Heather.

Emma dealt with Barking, Chewing, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall, Sibling rivalry, Toileting
Emma is absolutely amazing. We saw an instant response and change in our two dogs during the first session with Emma. The training is easy to follow and we've followed all of her instructions on how to handle different situations.
Trainer note from Emma
Mason, a 4 year old Staffy x Rottweiler, and Molly, an 18 week old Staffy X, were both jumping on people and mum & dad's bed. Mason was pulling on the lead, Molly had typical naughty puppy behaviour, and both needed to learn that they are not in charge of the house. Their owners did a brilliant job at stepping up to become leaders of their pack, and Mason and Molly responded brilliantly. Keep up the good work guys.

It was great, I was very surprised how quick Zara took to the training.
Emma was great and a lot of fun.
Trainer note from Emma
Zara, an 18 month old Bull Terrier x Kelpie, had dad wrapped around her little paw. We worked on jumping, walking on lead, recall & attentiveness training. Now Zara knows who the pack leaders are, she will go from being a good dog to an AWESOME dog.

Ken dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry, Toileting
Bacardi has responded very well to Ken's training and the tools he has taught us have helped greatly in managing Bacardi's behaviour. Bacardi has displayed significant improvements in his barking, aggression, separation anxiety and negative behavioural tendencies.

I felt so much more confident in such a short time. Both dogs are heavier than me and not obedient and had left me feeling out of control, and way down the pecking order. Faith made me feel so much better about what I was capable of and confident about being in control. Faith was as supporting to me as much as to both of my dogs. Thank you so much Faith.
Trainer note from Head Office
You and your dogs are an absolute pleasure to work with. So happy for you!

Faith was so calm and patient and the effect of the proper training with Frankie was almost immediate, and it certainly helped me as well. I am very happy with the results, honestly wonderful. Knowing I have someone to contact if I need further help is a great comfort.
Trainer note from Head Office
You and Frankie are both wonderful and it was really my pleasure to be able to help. It did look like a nightmare on paper so to speak - but - all is well and good, so that makes me happy!

Kelly dealt with Barking, Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Thank you Kelly for the training so far , Treasure has improved so much with the training , can't believe the difference a few weeks has made to our walks. Now a quiet home, Treasure used to bark all the time on our walks she gave me a headache . And today I had my second lesson with Kelly , I walked after the lesson and treasure only barked 3 times . Amazing improvement thanks Kelly.
Trainer note from Kelly
Shelties can be tricky to gain focus, as they are a working breed, but you have done an amazing job with Miss Treasure, I was really thrilled with the improvements! See you soon for our next lesson walking beachside :-)

We got Ken in to help with our puppy after she failed Puppy School. We still have a long way to go to get Poe into shape, but thanks to Ken we have the tools we need to make sure that Poe grows into a kind and obedient dog. She's already improved in a lot of areas - she's no longer launching herself onto the couch, she can sit and stay like a boss and she is so much better on the lead. Now we just need to keep up the training persistently and hopefully Poe will stop jumping, barking and going nuts whenever we leave the house. We highly recommend Ken and Bark Busters and knowing that they are there for the rest of Poe's life, no matter where we move to, is hugely reassuring. Thanks so much Ken!i
