Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Both boys have made dramatic improvements in a short time, still room for improvement but they are definitely moving in the right direction

Philippa provided exceptional training skills to help support our 8mth very anxious border collie. She gave clarity and confidence about how to best train our young dog that we saw had an immediate and positive impact on our dog's behaviour. We have since kept up the training schedule provided and continue to see improvements with obedience and overall reduction in our dog's anxiety. We highly recommend Philippa from Bark Busters to anyone who wants confidence to invest in their dog's future.

Philippa was amazing! She was greeted at the door by my new puppy and my elder chihuahua with nonstop barking. Before she was even in the door, she had gently quieted the cacophony and was able to introduce herself. It was truly amazing! She spent time with me explaining the program, roleplaying the training and giving great advice. Training practice takes only a few minutes for both me and my pup, and I can see a gradual difference in her behaviour every day. Thankyou Philippa for helping me restore order to the household.

very happy with first lesson

My husband and I were pleasantly surprised and impressed at how effective the training methods are. By the end of our session we had already seen some improvement with our 2 dogs Skye and shadow aged 4 and 2 years who have never had any training. We still got ways to go but we have more confidence in ourselves and our dogs now because of our wonderful trainer Philippa.

It has been a week since Philippa visited our house to support with our two Smooth Fox Terriers Boomer (9) and Murphy (8) Our dogs have been reactive and stressed as of late. I became fearful during feeding time and having people over was extremely stressful as the dogs wouldn’t settle and were so over excited. The problems have been escalating with it only set to get worse. Philippa arrived and within 5minutes my dogs were settled and left her alone. We mostly worked on their barking/reactivity and recall. These things will help in all situations and will allow the dogs to see me once more as a confident pack leader. My confidence was shot but in the space of a week I see hope again. We even had a visitor and the dogs did not jump and left them alone. I almost cried with relief. I’m more confident in feeding times and I’m working consistently with recall. Philippa gave us clear instructions and worked with us and what we were capable of. She has been great with communication and I’m looking forward to her return. I’m so hopeful that with consistency I will finally get on top of the overwhelm and everyone else will see the sweet and loving boys we have known for years. Thank you Philippa for making such significant changes in such a short space of time. I have already been telling everyone I know how fantastic she is.

Was good. Very informative. Philippa was great

We’ve only just begun our training journey with Philippa, but the difference already is incredible. There’s still a way to go, but the progress we’ve seen so far is so motivating. Philippa is knowledgeable, passionate, and wonderfully accessible, the level of support has gone far beyond what we expected. Instructions were clear, thorough, and provided both in writing and on the day, which really helped things click. The way she explained our challenges made everything feel simple and achievable. We’re so excited to keep learning and supporting Mushu (even if I still need to work on my “BAH”!).

Phillipa hit the ground running and got straight into showing us techniques to stop the dogs barking at visitors and made each step in our training easy to understand. Phillipa included my daughter and myself in the training so that we both felt confident with each activity. We could see a change in both dogs nearly straight away which was absolutely amazing!! I feel that even though a week has passed, the dogs are calmer and responding to the techniques we are using.

Phillipa is an excellent trainer. She had my puppy tamed in no time.

Philippa came to our home on a Sunday morning to help us with advice training our 6 year old, ex breeder, rescue Cavalier Ruby. We had been unsuccessful for over 12 months to stop her barking and understanding our commands. Philippa had Ruby understanding these issues very quickly and we have been able to continue this training ourselves with a little effort each day. We are amazed at her progress!!! Her anxiety also seems to have settled down somewhat too. We would definitely recommend Philippa and Bark Busters to anyone who needs help with their dogs. Worth every dollar we paid!!!

We had the pleasure of working with Phillipa from Bark Busters for behaviour training with our dog, Alfie, and we couldn’t be more impressed. Phillipa was outstanding—she explained everything clearly and took the time to demonstrate each technique before we practiced it ourselves. The improvement in Alfie’s behaviour after just the first session was dramatic. Since then, Phillipa has continued to stay in touch, offering valuable advice and feedback along the way. We highly recommend Phillipa and Bark Busters to anyone seeking effective, professional behaviour training for their dog.
