Philippa dealt with Barking, Puppy management, Recall

Philippa came to help me with my 7 month old shetland sheepdog puppy, Pearl. I wanted the tools to train Pearl in a kind, consistent way, and Phillipa taught me how to use dog psychology to train Pearl. After the session, I had the tools to stop Pearl barking and to improve her recall and other puppy behaviour. I highly recommend Bark Busters and Philippa to get you on the right track with your dog.

Philippa dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Recall

We noticed a transformation in our dog immediately after training was provided. Our dog is so much more relaxed lying beside us than standing by the window anxiously awaiting the next excuse to bark. The training was delivered professionally and in a way that was easy to understand, thanks to Philippa's patience and guidance.

Philippa dealt with Barking, Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Puppy management

We have been absolutely blown away by the incredible change in our puppy after just one session with Bark Busters a few days ago. Phillippa is professional, compassionate, and truly puppy-focused. Her ability to understand not only our puppy’s behaviour but also the dynamics of our family was exceptional. She provided practical guidance that has already made such a positive difference. We would happily give Phillippa a 10/10 and are looking forward to our next lesson as we continue building a happy relationship and enjoying our puppy again. Thank you, Bark Busters, and especially Phillippa, for your knowledge, patience and support!

We had the pleasure of getting Philippa out from Bark Busters to help control my fur babies. I have 6 Jack Russel cross and a Belgum Mal, within the 1st day of meeting Philippa we had the dogs listening to certain commands and helped with the barking at the door when people visited. I am looking forward to working with Philippa and learning how to talk dog talk.

28th April 2026 - Philippa Dakin

Philippa dealt with Chewing, Digging, Jumping up, Pulling

Bark busters has been amazing for our 11 month old German Shepherd, Bear. We have seen immediate results in the week following our first training session, and have found a way to communicate with Bear in a way that he understands. He doesn’t jump on me anymore and has been less destructive of a night time now that we know how to settle him for a good proper rest.

- B.H, Canberra (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
Well done! Great to know you are able to get the results. Keep up the good approach developing trust and respect. What a lovely German Shepherd who was welcomed into his new pack 2 months ago. Loving his good kind Leaders.

1st April 2026 - Philippa Dakin

Philippa dealt with Aggression, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety

Four days ago we had our initial training session with Phillipa. All five members of our three generational household were present. One of our main issues was adressed right from the beginning- agressive display at the door. A massive improvement has been displayed from there on! My trigger for doing the course, was one badly bruised face where my dog caught me off balance on a walk where she suddenly lunged for a little dog approaching on a narrow track. The dog was unhurt but frightened. Phillipa gave us the most brilliant collar and lead and demonstrated it's use in detail. Walks have been very peaceful since! We understand we have a way to go before approaching other dogs, but we have been taught and are practising how to be in charge in subtle ways which have led to a much less hyper, anxious dog, who is more settled and content- and it's only been four days!!!

- K.V, Catalina (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
Thank you for the review. Great to hear that Dina a 3 year old American Staffi x Bull terrier is progressing well. She is no longer the decision maker in the household! Keep up the good training and we will look forward to many more calm walks with her pack leaders.
