Trainer note from Peter
Thank you Robin , It is always great to have a previous Bark Busters client come back after many years with a new dog to help train. Rosie is a lovely Jack Russell x Foxie with a disability in her leg , one shorter than the other. But thanks to Robin she was saved from a family who could not care for her. Rosie is a happy loving dog and can now follow Robin's instructions and happy jump into the car instead of being fearful. Thank you for being committed to her training and future

Ken dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall, Sibling rivalry
I am amazed at Ken's knowledge and ability! In only one visit Ken has educated me, my son and our dogs and has transformed our house into a peaceful happy home. It has only been two days but I am able to give instruction and praise to achieve immediate results which in turn has given me back control in my home. Ken was here on Saturday, today is Monday and already they are responding positively and are not barking at external noises (beyond the fence). It is so very peaceful here and everyone is very impressed and the dogs are happy with their boundaries and responding to correction and praise. Its absolutely the best money I've ever spent!!! Thank you so much Ken for restoring harmony in our home!!!! X

Faith's introduction and explanation was excellent and covered my concerns which gave me confidence in her advice. I was amazed by how quickly Teddy responded to training. The techniques are so gentle and the response was immediate. I feel so much more connected with Teddy. We are now closer and more bonded than ever.
Trainer note from Head Office
You and Teddy are made for each other!

DO IT! DON'T HESITATE!
We were apprehensive to commit to the initial cost of bark busters, but I'm so glad we weighed the alternative of paying for multiple weekly obedience clubs, and started with Peter. We felt like our 7month old swiss shepherd was a nightmare! It didn't matter how much we tried to wear him out, he always had enough energy to chase our cats to all corners of the house, jump all over us on the lounge, jump on all our visitors, bark in the yard, cry when we left home and dig in the yard. We were encouraged by positive training but didn't have the right consistency to get and maintain results on our own. Enter Peter and the bark busters training system. We had read previous reviews and they are not joking, WITHIN MINUTES (!!!) Perrin was acting like a different dog! He let us open the front door! He let us walk through doorways first, looking to us for permission to also follow! He left his toys alone if we asked! He learnt that jumping on us wasn't ok! We were amazed - 24 hrs on and we're absolutely in love with this relaxed Perrin. Peter educated us on the pack hiearachy and we saw it almost immediately, Perrin has stopped having to "take care of us" and is just a pleasure to be around...IN 24 HOURS! The best part is that we've been able to have cuddles and pats with our cats again. I will strongly encourage anybody with a dog, no matter how "poor" or troublesome they think their behaviour is, to do themselves and their pooch a favour by booking in with Peter. Thank you Peter for helping us understand Perrin so we could love him all the time - not just when he was sleeping!!

Todd dealt with Barking, Chewing, Pulling, Separation anxiety, Sibling rivalry
The principles of the training were clearly explained in the first session and techniques were demonstrated for practice. It was amazing to see how quickly our dog responded to simple yet effective techniques! Our dog is a calmer and happier boy!
Thank you Philip for helping our family!
Trainer note from Todd
Soske is a 7 year old Shiba Inu male who had serious separation anxiety. He'd even chewed right through a bathroom door! He also barked. Shaking, drooling and panting was common and he was very nervous of new people. He changed completely with our 2 lessons! Calm, responsive and quiet! Good boy Soske!

Glen & Maureen dealt with Puppy management
Having Glen come out to teach Felicity and I about what to do and what not to do with a puppy made us feel far more settled. I most enjoyed getting an understanding of the natural methods and why they work so well.

Head Office dealt with Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
I was extremely happy with Hugh. Wasn't sure how it was going to go, as I didn't want someone who was going to be too aggressive or harsh. Hugh was the furthest from that, he was assertive but very kind and I can see he has a genuine love of dogs. We had an intensive session where he was encouraging but quick to correct me. We plan to catch up again in a couple of weeks, but he assured me that if I want him to return sooner, I only have to call. I'm hoping I can continue with Marvin as he instructed, but know if things aren't on track that there's no issue for me to give him a call.

We really enjoyed the training and we think Finley will thrive with the difference in our new pack!
Trainer note from Todd
Finley is about 9 months old and is Kelpie cross Coolie female. She had become dog aggressive on walks, and even was lunging at humans too. Inside she had started to wee on the couch overnight regularly too. She would also bark at her humans to get their attention, demanding that they play with her or feed her....NOW! So rude! They loved the lesson and were amazed at how Fin calmed down and how tired she was at the end. She just lay down and dozed. They also learnt how to stop Fin racing to the front door over-excitedly to greet any guests arriving. Fin has a way to go to be a very well behaved dog, but is certainly on the right track now. Daily repetition of #barkbusters lessons and the results will be there. Well done so far Sophie & Aaron.

Training was very thorough and very professional. It was easy to understand and there were clear behavioural changes to Archie.
Trainer note from Todd
Archie is a rambunctious 3 year old Groodle male (Golden Retriever cross Poodle) and there was a complaint (anonymous) about barking from a neighbour. So Archie's humans got me in to help. Over the course of the 3 hour lesson they learnt so much about why he was barking. They also learnt how to calm him down, and how to get him to walk on a loose lead (something he had never done before). They saw how good he could be and that his boisterous ways where a symptom of his inner stress. He is young, and so full of beans! Progress will be gradual in gaining real control. However, his humans are loving and dedicated and will keep up our 15-20 minutes a day of simple exercises. I'll be back in a few weeks to further his training. Well done Archie so far!
