I found Paul very helpful, and he has a good knowledge of dogs and how to read their body language, We found it very good to have private tuition in our home.
Trainer note from Paul
Thanks Bil and Kendra. Beau has great potential and our next session when he is a month older should be very productive.

Very happy with our progress so far -our dog has better toilet control, has reduced dog aggression and listens to us more. Happy to continue with our homework to progress Wilbur and our connection going forward. We have always felt lucky to have Wilbur and now it's a relief to be able to communicate with him in a way that gets the results we were looking for. We had tried other methods but just found ourselves becoming frustrated.

Kelly was amazing, she helped me recognise what behaviours needed to be corrected in my 3 year old dachshund, Wendle. We have been reinforcing particular exercises since and I’ve noticed quite a big change in some of his behaviours!!
Trainer note from Kelly
Thanks so much, Samaya, for inviting me in to assist with your gorgeous (but loud!) Dachshund! Wendle was showing fear reactivity, separation anxiety issues, and for the owner? Nothing worse than neighbour or council complaints. After the first lesson, the away barking subsided quickly, his walking manners improved, and with some additional scene setting at lesson #2, you're well on your way to a balanced and relaxed household. I am looking forward to continuing to support you, with walking and distraction work when you're ready! Well done :-)

Kelly is amazingly knowledgeable and seems very passionate and dedicated about training dogs. She has covered a lot during the first session and has given me plenty of advices & resources about dog food, treats, interactive dog toys , separation anxiety , online barking diary, etc, etc. I just need to do my homework! Her techniques for my dog walking on lead & jumping up is already working after the first lesson and I am so happy about it. Thanks so much Kelly! Looking forward to more training lessons from you.
Trainer note from Kelly
Thanks YuYu, your are so kind, and so gentle with your Golden retriever, Creed. Being a rehome, it can be tricky teaching them new things, but he has a lovely soft personality, he absolutely adores you, and it was amazing to watch your bond grow with each lesson conducted! Now that the barking has subsided, I am looking forward to lesson #3, out at the park, to work on recall with distractions, and obedience work. Massive well done, you have done a great job!

Kelly was fantastic. Explained things easy to understand and follow. Bruno went exceptionally well on his first training on the lead. We would definitely recommend Bark Busters to any one with helping and training difficult dogs. We are excited for what is to come. Thank you Bark Busters
Trainer note from Kelly
Thank you for your kind words, and time! Being a Cane Corso, the owner's focus is always on having complete control, due to their size and strength. But, having a big breed can also be limiting for owners, as friends and family get scared, and don't want to interact in the home environment. Thank you for allowing me to fine tune all the awesome work you had already done with your big teddy bear, and get him onto the right track, so he is a more settled companion, and he doesn't impact your day to day lives in a negative way. Looking forward to lesson #3 soon!

We found the messaging that Glen gave made sense, the techniques we were given have worked well, Arnie is now less inclined to bark in the backyard, he is better on the lead and far more settled overall.
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thanks Mike, I'm so glad that Golden Retriever boy Arnie is doing much better.

7th February 2024 - Philippa Dakin
From the minute Philippa walked through my gate Waffle was submissive - not in a bad or scared way. He didn’t jump or bark or be his usual annoying self. It was amazing to see! During the initial session the techniques and tools I learned were simple and easy to do which within such a short space of time saw remarkable improvements with my dog. Lots of practice (for me) to reinforce the methods but so pleased with the results in the first 24 hours.
Trainer note from Philippa
Great to hear that Waffle is responding well. Well done Kimberlee. Wafffle is a lovely smart sensitive Labradoodle. Helping with barking, jumping, recall, boundaries and learning to relax. I look forward to the next time.

Absolutely amazing! We have never had a puppy and this was by far super hard and after 2 weeks we were thinking this was not for us until we met Kelly. Informative, instilled confidence in us and helped us tremendously with a jumping and biting puppy. We are beyond grateful!
Trainer note from Kelly
Thanks Skye, you have got a fantastic pup that will give you years of enjoyment and companionship! Weimaraner's are such a fun breed, but like most gundogs, do like to play with their mouth, and it can hurt! I enjoyed showing you how to communicate correctly with your new pup, show her, gently, right from wrong - focusing on door barging, jumping up, destruction, child safety and safe child handling of a dog, and we kick-started her obedience journey. I can't wait for lesson 2, where we get your Wei into the big world outside, and work on recall with distraction, walking nicely on lead and social skills. Well done!
