Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Very easy going technique of instructions. Good communication by trainer to both us and our dog. Took the time to explain and did not rush at any stage.

I found the lesson to be helpful and very effective. The technique and tools shown to me gave me the confidence that I needed to be a leader that my pup needs. Catharina also showed me the correct way to address bad behaviour and good behavior that is so simple but very effective. My puppy responded so well to the training session that was set up andIi feel like I can have my ideal dog thanks to Catharina.

We found the techniques easy to understand and Stefanie ensured we both practiced them until we were confident ensuring that we understood and could translate that understanding into action. Murphy was responsive straight away to the training and the one technique we have been able to sustain effectively is walking on the lead without pulling which is a huge step forward for us. Our problem has always been in having sustained results with Murphy, we have found him very trainable with treats eg. he completed his Ideal Dogs Assessment easily however it is in between training sessions that we have the problem. His most noticeable issues are barking at people walking past our house or coming to the door, becoming extremely excitable when we have visitors and barking at them and not being able to listen to any commands etc when he is in this excitable state. Stefanie has been over twice since our initial session and has been able to modify techniques to suit our situation and we are very pleased with this. Stefanie has every confidence that we will get this one sorted and as such we believe her. Stefanie has been willing to assist, oferring a number of options to communicate with her and coming up with solutions for a variety of our issues with Murphy: pool anxiety, car anxiety etc. We are very much a work in progress but are very happy with the contribution that Stefanie continues to make to assist. We would recommend Bark Busters and Stefanie to others.

Well worth the money. Very helpful. Now we know certain words to use and they work great. She barks a lot less now.

helped with getting the family to understand about packs, positions, helped with corrections and even spent time simulating troubled areas, had my dog escape and charge up to her and she proved she knows how to act to and around dogs, she had a timid aggressive dog eating out of her hand, she gave great advice and help with controlling the dog without force, she has good training Technique which is humane, and effective, I would and will recommend faith wild from bark busters to anyone and everyone,

I feel liberated! Knowledge is power, and thanks to John, I now know exactly what to do if Gryffyn misbehaves. I have an escalating scale of responses to bad behaviour that Gryffyn instinctively understands. I now have confidence in my ability to control my dog. I can take him for a walk without worrying about him seeing another dog, or, heaven forbid..joggers! I am no longer afraid of motor bikes, either, because I know what to do if Gryffyn tries to drag-race them as they pass us. I don't have to wrestle with him to get my socks back; one quiet word, and he spits them out. We are a work-in-progress, but thanks to John and Bark Busters, I can really SEE the progress.

Heather explain the techniques she wanted us to use with Patch in a way that was easy to follow and understand. We saw changes in Patch in that first session and these have continued. My son called her the "Dog Whisperer!"

Hugh was very informative, helpful & patience with Tiga & I. We would go through the program at our pace & the skills that Hugh taught us was extremely helpful. Tiga had barking, jumping, agression & recall issues, after the first session Tiga was good :) ! She responded very well & now her issues are managed & controlled & everyone can see what a good girl she is . I know with the ongoing support we will have a wonderful family pet & we now know the best diet & supplements for Tiga to help reduce her issues. Thank you Bark Busters :)!!

We found Catharina to be very informative and helpful. She explained everything to us clearly and simply so it was easy for us to understand and put into practice. We noticed and improvement in Castiel after our first lesson today, we look forward to working with him this next week and for our follow up lesson. Catharina was able to answer all our questions and gave us lots of very helpful and informative information which we are even able to apply to our other dog. Castiel responded to her very well as did we. We are looking forward to working with and learning from, we especially found the information on how to communicate with your dog and more importantly how they communicate with us, some markers are so suttle that we would probably never noticed or understood them during our dogs life. We especially enjoyed and found interesting that the training does not require any treats, or harsh methods etc.

Scout responded well which made it more enjoyable for us as his owner. Easy to use techniques.

Fantastic ... noticable results immediately. Feeling very confident and positive about the future for Oscar and I

Training has been good so far. Learning small tricks of how the dog psychology works and little things you have to do to be the pack leader. Brian is very friendly and explains tasks and exercises clearly. looking forward to do more training and getting Dasher to behave outside of the house.
