Glen & Maureen dealt with Chewing, Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Sibling rivalry
Glen got them both under control within a few minutes & made me realise how little I understand about canine behaviour. I need to be the pack leader & make sure they understand their position in our family. I also need to change their diet so they’re not constantly in a hyper excited state.
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thank you, Willow & Clover are fabulous Rottweilers' it was a pleasure to work with you all.

Catharina dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up
After just one session with Cat we have already seen a positive change in our older dog Charli. She is responding well to the training practices we’ve put in place. Our pup Sam is attempting to follow her good behaviours (when he isn’t distracted by his own pup mannerisms).
Considering that’s after one session we can’t wait to see them after all the sessions are complete.
Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks for leaving a review! It was great to help you with Charli (4 year old Moodle) and Sam (10 month old Cocker Spaniel x Poodle) to reduce their barking, jumping and help them to be calmer around the house and with visitors. It was great to see how quickly Charli let go of her old habits and followed your direction, I look forward to supporting you further and helping to keep Sam on track as well!

26th May 2023 - Laura Burton
I cannot recommend Laura enough. We had some issues with our 4 yr old cavoodle after relocating back to Australia from the UK, including seperation anxiety and trouble with people visiting. Since working with Laura, Teddy is so much more settled, relaxed and most importantly happy. We can leave him for much longer periods of time (a whole day even) which we have never been able to do, and having the ability to manage him better when we have visitors.
Thanks Laura for all your guidance and help!
Trainer note from Laura
Thank you for taking the time to do the review, it has been a pleasure working with yourselves and Teddy and it is great that you are seeing the results that the Training brings. Keep up the good work!

Kia dealt with Hyperactivity, Pulling
Kia was very helpful during our session. Helped teach me the commands and what to look for to be proactive with body language. We have a little way to go but im sure with time there will be many more improvements.
24th May 2023 - Kelly McClelland
Kelly dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
I've met Kelly before and she absolutely "gets" frenchies and dogs in general and my confidence in her abilities were immediately rewarded on the day. The dogs have responded immediately and we also now know what we should/should not be doing !
23rd May 2023 - Glen & Maureen Guelfi
Glen & Maureen dealt with Barking, Chewing, Digging, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry, Toileting
Great first session with Maureen.
Maureen discussed all relevant topics and even gave insight into nutrition and how this can affect a dog's behavior.
Our little Timmy (miniature dachshund) did not respond to his name, walk well on a lead and would constantly bark whether there was something for him to bark at or not and the list of concerns goes on!! After our first session and learning techniques from Maureen we have managed to improve our lead walking (not bark constantly while on a walk and pulling) and stop the barking within seconds of him starting in the yard!! Ww have managed to gain control of Timmy and we are beyond happy with these techniques and the improvement within 48 hours of our first session. Thank you Maureen!!
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
It was my pleasure to work with you all, and I'm delighted that he has learnt so fast, keep up the good work, Thank you.

Jakob dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Recall
Jakob was professional & caring towards us & our dogs, they responded well & we have quite a way to go with training. We are really happy that we found him & look forward to working together in the future
Trainer note from Jakob
Hayleigh/Riley - it was a pleasure to meet your pack. I look forward to working with your pack also. The bottom line is to relieve Karma of all leadership duties so that she can focus on being a dog without stress, without fear, without anxiety. I have so much confidence in you both as leaders to lead the way in her life moving forward. I left with confidence knowing that she is in your hands. We will work on problems, nuances, behaviours that may arise, we will do it in increments, baby steps, whatever it takes. Rest assured Barkbusters will be here for you - because in reality - it is more than training - it is behaviour - it is what Karma was meant to do, meant to be, a happy dog in a safe environment. I believe this is the reason Karma is in your life. More importantly I am so grateful that you took Karma into your pack/family when no one else would. You gave her a home - you give her love, you took her off the streets. This is who Barkbusters are - this is what we are about. And this is who you are - you trusted us with your family - and from here on in we walk hand in hand. Again I have to reiterate it is people like you/ humans such as yourself - that have inner core of empathy for all creatures in life that make this world a beautiful place to dwell in. One more time {because it means a lot to me} - I left your place feeling full of gratitude for Karma has a beautiful family. I love my work - why? - cause I get to meet humans such as yourself. Thank You So Much. Thank you so much for giving her a home, food, shelter and an abundance of Love.

21st May 2023 - Philippa Dakin
Philippa dealt with Aggression, Chewing, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall
Philippa had an immediate, impact upon Otto’s behaviour from the moment she walked through the gate. The simple techniques she demonstrated to manage controlling spaces and doorways, chewing, getting in and out of the car, to name a few, were amazing. I was able to achieve similar results when Philippa left. For the first time I did not have a puppy under my feet in the kitchen, nose in the fridge, dishwasher, cupboards etc and go in and out of doors first without being knocked out of the way. I’m looking forward to continued improvements, tips and support throughout Otto’s life.
Trainer note from Philippa
Great to meet and help Otto a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy. Starting Bark Busters training as he grows and matures to help with many of his behaviours. Keep up the good consistent training and I look forward to the next time.

Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks Vanessa for leaving a review!

18th May 2023 - Kristie Toombs
Kristie dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Sibling rivalry, Toileting
Kristie was absolutely amazing with great knowledge and communication, as Cleo showed immediate response to the training after the first lesson. The lesson was very thorough with easy to understand information and manageable skills to use. We've noticed such big changes and feel so relieved as Cleo has responded well to the training techniques. Thanks to Kristie we feel less stressed and am looking forward to a calm and behaved dog. We highly recommend Bark busters for anyone needing assistance with their furbaby.
Trainer note from Kristie
Thanks Maria. It all came down to you and how quickly you took all the information and training tips on. Cleo is such an amazing little girl that just needed a little guidance and to know that you were the leader and could take care of her and let her be a calm and relaxed puppy. I am looking forward to our next lesson and to see all the progress that Cleo has made.
