Todd dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Recall
A lot to take in. But looking forward to commencing the homework. Can see already how this is going to work.
Trainer note from Todd
Yes there is a bit in the first lesson! We cover lots of ground including how dogs communicate. Evie is a 10 month old Spoodle puppy and very cute indeed. She was barking at everything and stealing items including reading glasses and tv remote controls! Not good. We saw terrific improvements immediately and she was calmer already. I'm looking forward to our further lessons and teaching you all to #speakdog some more.

Cat's training methods have completely changed the way we interact with our dogs, and almost overnight our household became much more relaxed. Cooper, our 17 week old pup, was having issues with aggression whenever he was adrenalised. After only a few days he is much easier to calm down and no longer snaps. The rough play he and big sister, Tara, were engaging in has settled down to a manageable level and I'm sure it will only continue to get better!
By day two, Tara was walking perfectly on a loose lead and our daily walks have been such a joy compared to the way they were in the past. No more pulling and constant sniff stops. Both of the dogs are learning boundaries within the house. They are happy to sit on the edge of the kitchen when food is being prepared, even when it's their own meal time, instead of getting under our feet. We're still working hard on our front door training - visitors are exciting! - but they're slowly improving and are eager to please so I'm confident we'll have it nailed in no time.
Training using Cat's method is so much fun. We're seeing such rapid improvement in the dogs' behaviour overall that training is no longer a chore. I can't wait until we're at the stage where Tara and Cooper can socialise with other dogs at the park. Because we back on to a busy dog park, one of Tara's biggest issues was fence guarding. She would bark incessantly at the park's busiest times, causing her a great deal of stress as other dogs frequently try to dig under our fence to get to her. Now, after only one lesson with Cat, Tara barks once and can quickly be stopped and called away from the fence and into the house without any issues.
Thank you, Cat, for your invaluable advice. We're looking forward to our next lesson and doggie meetups in the future!

Stefanie dealt with Barking
Stef has been fantastic. Very enthusiastic and encouraging. I like how if one technique is not working that she always gives other options.
Trainer note from Stefanie
Well done in being consistent with Vogue - it shows as there's definitely progress after every lesson! She's one beautiful Shetland Sheepdog and no doubt will bring smiles to whoever enters your shop! Keep up the great work!!

Very happy with the progress after only 1 lesson. Stefanie was great!
Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Vikki! Elie the Chihuahua is such a sweet girl but is just over protective. It's great to see her step back once she knows you're in charge. Well done!

Todd dealt with Chewing, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry
I found the trainer Phillip very helpful and lots of patience
Trainer note from Todd
Thanks Eric & Hazel. 😀 Peppa is a 4 month young Blue Cattle Dog puppy. She was super mouthy and biting their hands. To the extent Eric's hands were very scratched and cut. We solved this issue quickly and had great improvements in Peppa's focus and recall (coming when called). Over the next year or so we will work on walking on the lead, sit and stay. Well done so far she's a beautiful dog!

Cat worked her magic! She was really knowledgeable as she had the same issues with her own dog in the past! Highly recommend! Our dog showed massive improvement after only one lesson!
Trainer note from Catharina
Mischief has been a Bark Busters member for a few years now, and when her owner needed some help with an anxiety problem that had arose, we came out for another visit. Things are now back on track thanks to their Lifetime Support Guarantee!

Trainer note from Head Office
Two lovely Spoodle pups.The family has started to communicate in the canine way the pups understand and are aware there will be challengers along the way, but now know how to deal with them.

It was amazing! I was surprised at how well the dogs walked with Hugh's help. I am working on getting the same response that he did. He was very helpful and informative and I,m looking forward to the continuing development in both my and my dogs skills with Hugh's help.

Trainer note from Todd
Ripley is a gorgeous 6m old German Shepherd pup. Lovely natured. Just a bit wilful. Not listening and not coming when called. Also barking a bit much. Her sibling Ruby (also a German Shepherd and about 6 yrs) was also getting a little tired of Ripley's attention and dominating behaviour. After today's lesson Ripley's humans had much better communication with her. With practice she'll be a terrific dog to live with.

I was very impressed at the quickness that judge picked up things . It has only been a short time since the visit but it's almost like I have different dog , he is so much more relaxed , and taking him out for a walk is such a pleasure
