Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

The training we received was awesome and Archie responded very well with the methods taught. I was very impressed with Peter and his knowledge and guidance. Archie had a fear of going down stairs and we had this sorted in one visit. I would highly recommend Bark Busters as I feel more confident in training Archie and he is responding happily to my commands.

Stefanie explained everything very well. It is very nice to know that there is somebody to assist us.

Peter was absolutely fantastic with Angel. He not only taught us some tips and tricks to manage her but also taught us a lot about how dogs see humans as part of the same pack and hence why they behave in a certain manner. He also gave us a lot of insight into "dog language" compared to "human language" and that has helped us a lot in communicating with her. She is now a lot calmer and a much better listener. Like most puppies, she is currently teething and hence chews on pretty much everything including our hands. However, Peter explained to us that she should be chewing on her toys but not our skin. He has given us some awesome tips on changing this behaviour and controlling the chewing. We have now started taking Angel for short walks and she absolutely loves walking on the lead, thanks to Peter. He helped us create a good association for Angel with the lead. Overall, we are very happy with the way Peter has trained us to train our little one. Yes, we have a long way to go considering she's only a little puppy but we are looking forward to this exciting journey ahead. Thank you Peter and we look forward to seeing you next time.

Ken is a fantastic trainer! He gave us great advice with relieving the anxiety of our dog Suki. After following his useful tips, Suki is a much more calmer and happier puppy.

Stefanie was fantastic to work with. She was knowledgeable, friendly and no question was a silly question to her. Her techniques worked and she was always available if we had any questions.

Amazing, I have a 10 month old Doberman and she ruled the house, greeted everyone (far too over excitedly, jumping not knowing how big or strong she is). I love my dog but she was stopping me inviting people over because she was just a bit too crazy and if I separated her from us she would cry the entire time. In only 2 short weeks I have reclaimed my house and have gained a respectful dog who knows her place! She no longer goes on the sofa, she doesn't knock me out when I open the door, she lets people in, she does my bark over the top (I still want her to bark a little and protect the house), she has now had over 45 minutes in the house separated from us without crying. We have just had lesson 2 and will be practicing walking on a lead (walking not being pulled to run or pulling my arm off!) So lots more practice ahead. Don't get me wrong I still have a playful fun pup who will push her luck if I let her but I have the knowledge to guide the behaviours now. I think Jasmine has worked as hard as me but it's only been 2 weeks and had such results already. So much so I am having my daughter's birthday party at the house, that's going to be the real test! Thanks Kelly I can now enjoy our crazy puppy dog.

First day of training I was very nervous but Philip soon put me at ease,he was very kind and patient. He was wonderful with Molly and she responed very well.I was amazed at how much change I saw in her by the end of the lesson.

Angela was really great at helping us with Ella. Learning the "bah" technique in particular has been so helpful with reducing Ella's barking. Angela was really great with Ella, and you could tell instantly that she knew what she was talking about, and delivered the information in an easy to understand manner, and also explained why we were doing the things that she was teaching us. We are still working on Ella's behaviour, including her pulling and barking at other dogs whilst on lead, but I feel confident that she will continue to improve based on the techniques that Angela taught us. Angela is really friendly and lovely to work with!

Having unsuccessfully used another trainer for a 'one-off' session to solve our problems, we were rather skeptical about what Bark Busters could do in 2-3 hours. I can honestly say its changed our life. From being stressed to leave our dog because we knew he would bark and our neighbours would complain, to being able to calmly and positively go out, was an amazing turn-around in one day. Everything was explained to us in a way that made sense to us, and also why it was better for Samson too. I have already been recommending Grace Parr to our friends in the same or similar situations.

Stefanie has been absolutely fantastic. She has been committed to spending as much time with us and Buckley that we have needed. This has lead to a lot of progress, including a reduction in barking, better walking on the lead and a general increased responsiveness. The strategies that Stefanie has taught us, in our home, in the backyard and out the front of our house, are very manageable for the 'everyday' person. Her wealth of knowledge is very impressive. We would not hesitate to recommend her services.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

Catharina is a great trainer, makes it easy! She was excellent. Went through everything we needed it to cover and also gave us good advice.
