Philip helped us a lot with behavioural issues with our boys. We were amazed that after a few hours our dogs were under control and reacting to commands
Trainer note from Todd
Thanks Jess and Adam for allowing me to help with your too cuties. Herbie is just 6 months old and a Puggle (Pug x Beagle) male, and his sibling is Goose, a 2.5 year old Chug (Chihuahua x Pug) male. The main issues were barking from Herbie (a lot!) and serious fighting between them especially over food. Annoying issues including barking at the front door and passers by, and jumping on and barking at guests...for ages and ages after they arrived! We did see amazing results in our 3 hour lesson, and both dogs responded so well and were so much quieter and responsive soon after we starting to Speak Dog with them. You made comments like "I have never seen them respond like this!" and "I've never seen that before!" when they came to you when called and sat in their beds. There is a little work to do in maintaining this new level of good behaviour and I'll be here to help you with that. Well done for today and thank you for allowing me to visit your home and assist with these 2 little men.

Glen & Maureen dealt with Barking, Chewing, Digging, Jumping up, Puppy management, Recall, Sibling rivalry
We had Maureen come over today to help with our 3month old puppy.
Maureen is wonderful!! ? I felt like myself, husband and pup gained so much knowledge and better understanding from our first training session with Maureen. After Maureen had left we continued with the recommended techniques and I Literally happy danced around the house when Molly was responding. It’s still early days as Molly is only 3 months but I’m already excited to continue our training and see Maureen again. Thank you thank you thank you!!

Kelly dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry
For anyone interested - i had a 2-3hr home consultation with Kelly from BarkBusters this week and she was AMAZING!! Gave me so much info around diet, crate training, obedience/discipline, toys, treats, plants/allergies etc. My boy Xander was already a lot better the night straight after her visit and has continued to improve everyday since. I have my sanity back!! ? If you are having any issues with your pups i would highly recommend her she was just wonderful, really friendly, great with Xander and explained things in a simple way but with great detail at the same time. My only regret is i didn't do it 3 months ago when the naughty behaviour started!! ?
BIG THANK YOU TO KELLY! ?
Trainer note from Kelly
Xander is a lively 11 month old Boxer - so delicious! But his barking and demand behaviours were about to send his lovely owner around the bend....With some programming and correct (calm) escalations, it was wonderful to practice separation at the first lesson and have zero reaction, as well as introduce manners with doors and lead work. He is a big, kissable puppy, and I can't wait for our follow up lesson!

Maureen was an awesome trainer. She was really helpful and I have seen great change in my both my dogs. Thank you so much for your guidance. My dogs now listen and i can actually open the front door without them trying to run out.

Maureen was so very lovely and she had a wonderful way with Ghost. We are so thankful that she came into our home to help us stop bad puppy habits from becoming big issues further down the track. We can't wait to see the positive results from the Bark Busters program.

Very good first training, it was great to see that Misty (10 yo dog) responded to the training.
Trainer note from Philippa
It was to see Misty responding so well, and enjoying her confidence in her Leader. She is now looking forward to exploring some lovely walks.

Stefanie helped me alot with zara after one session I'm already seeing great results she was really understanding and kind and made it so easy for me.
Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks David! Zara is a beautiful Shepherd with such alertness and energy. Though she is still young, her focus is steady getting better, as is her progress. Definitely keep up the great work and do not hesitate to get me back again when she's a little bit older for a check up session.

Glen & Maureen dealt with Aggression, Hyperactivity, Pulling
Had such a great experience with Glen from Barkbusters helping me with my 7 year old stubborn boy Max.
I can see the techniques working immediately and can’t express my gratitude enough that Barkbusters came along after a tough few months trying to get help with Max.
Really looking forward to the continuous sessions and hearing more expert advice.

Maureen has changed our dog and our life for the better! Bella no longer barks incessantly making our neighbours happy. We would unequivocally recommend Maureen - she has a terrific sense of humour and gave us practical advice that really works.

25th November 2019 - Head Office
Head Office dealt with Aggression, Barking, Recall, Sibling rivalry
I was so close to having to say goodbye to my English Staffy I’ve had for 8 years. He’s struggled to settle into apartment living and neighbours were complaining of his whining. A recent incident where Diesel had locked himself into the bathroom for 8 hours and things were not looking good. Gabriel came the next day after making initial contact and within days I’ve noticed an improvement. Walking on a lead he was aggressive to bigger dogs and yelling when stationary at the traffic lights whilst waiting to cross. I’ve been trained and the most helpful information I received was the dog psychology and how they think. I couldn’t even go out for dinner with friends as I felt guilty for being at work. Now I’m so relieved as I can go to work and do social things and don’t feel like a prisoner in my home.
Trainer note from Head Office
Diesel responded well to the work we did together and Heath knows I'm a phone call away if he needs further free help with Diesel in the future.

24th November 2019 - Ken Tran
Ken dealt with Aggression, Barking, Sibling rivalry
My dog is very timid and as a result was growling at everyone that came near me and even biting people. He was also trying to attack any dog that came near him out of fear.
After one visit with Ken he has settled down so much within a day. I am truly impressed.
He hasn’t growled at anyone or barked once since ken left.
Max even slept outside my bedroom for the first time since we moved house.
