Wow! Willow has only had one session so far with Philippa and we thought Willow was beyond training but she is a completely different puppy (and we are completely different dig owners!). The change is incredible! Thank you!!

Philippa dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall

We thought that there was no chance of helping our dog but within an hour our dog was completely changed. We are so impressed with the improvement we have seen. Barkbusters operate differently to normal trainers where they train the owner to communicate with their dog rather than rewarding and training the dog. We have learnt ways to train and help our overreactive dog who wouldn’t listen. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received.

- J.E, Sutton (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
Well done to Willow a 14 month Mareema X Deerhound and his pack leaders. Willow responded so well to the training and loved thinking and knowing how to make the right decisions. Definitely putting the right paw forward!

Philippa dealt with Pulling

Hi Philipa. Colin is going really good. His walking is about 85 percent better. t's early days though. His reaction to other dogs has been great. No barking at them, just a slight pull, but we and are working on that and we won't let him off the hook. It's so much easier to walk him and he is much more relaxed. Thank you again for your knowledge and information.

- J.N, Canberra (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
Great to hear that Colin the lovely Cavoodle is learning to walk on a loose lead beside you and not reacting to other dogs. More enjoyable walks for everyone. I am glad to be of help. Keep up the good training.

Philippa dealt with Barking, Chewing, Digging, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall

While it's been a week since Winston and I had our first session the changes have been great. The main reason for seeing Philippa was Winston's barking and this has reduced dramatically, I'm able to control this very quickly and easily. Winston is also good now with opening the baby gates and doors to other areas of the house, he now sits and waits for me to say yes. We do still need to do work on this when he's excited and we have visitors, especially is Aunty and cousins who are just as excited to see him. Winston is a a cocker who wants what he wants so recall, jumping and mouthing are something we still need to work on but I'm confident that we'll ace these as well with Philippa's support.

- M.M, Bomaderry (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
Lovely to be able to help Winston a 5 month old Cocker Spaniel with his behavior and helping reduce unnecessary barking. I look forward to supporting you in training in the future. Keep up the good work!

Philippa dealt with Barking, Chewing, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall

I couldn’t be happier with the service we received and the outcome for our dog Kevin. I was amazed how effective the adjustments we were shown have worked and how quickly they have helped change some of his bad behaviours. I’d strongly recommend Philippa to anyone who is having any problems with their dog, as our experience was great!

- A.G, Canberra (Testimonial)

Philippa dealt with Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Other

We’ve had two fantastic sessions with Philippa, and the difference has been amazing! She came to our home on the weekends, bringing training equipment and providing a clear, engaging session that included a PowerPoint and hands-on strategies. Philippa helped us with foundational skills like clear communication, managing visitors, loose lead walking, and reactivity. We were able to practice her strategies in real time during a walk in our local area. After each session, she sent detailed summaries and helpful handouts, which have been invaluable. Before Philippa, we were overwhelmed and getting nowhere with random online resources. Now, we feel confident, less stressed, and have a clear way forward with our Border Collie puppy. We’re so grateful for her support!

- K.S, Canberra (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
