28th July 2021 - Philippa Dakin

Phillipa is an excellent trainer whom we highly recommend. Following the adoption of our very large and excitable dog, Phillipa provided us with a variety of training techniques. This has enabled us to control undesired behaviour and made walking on the lead less stressful and thus more enjoyable. Phillipa is extremely patient and encouraging. She continues to provide ongoing support to us as we begin to introduce our dog to our cat.

Philippa dealt with Pulling, Recall, Other

Philippa was an excellent support and teacher for Kai and I. She has a professional and kind manner and is really passionate about dogs and training. Her love of animals is really clear and she backs this up with knowledge and confidence. Just what we needed. Kai is a rescue dog with some anxious and skittish behaviours that I wasnt sure how to handle and Philippa was very clear and has put us on a great path. With Philippa's help, Kai walks really well on a lead now, and has her own bed (before she really 'owned' the couch) which she now understands is hers. We have a bit of a long road ahead, but I am so grateful for Philippa's help and guidance.

- H.M, Callala Beach, New South Wales (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
How rewarding to help with Kai's transition into her new pack. She was rescued from a tricky start in life, and is now in her forever home with a dedicated and wise leader. Great progress.

It was great to see Polly responding so well. She is now 12 weeks old. Issues addressed: toileting, crate training, answering the door, jumping, training towards a good recall, introduction to the collar and lead, nipping and biting. I'll look forward to the next training with Polly and Rama. Well Done!

Philippa dealt with Puppy management

Philippa was knowledgeable and professional. It was vital to learn the psychology behind the behaviour of my puppy to understand his needs. I am grateful to have signed up to Bark Busters. However, following the continual information I was given regarding the importance of being and maintaining positivity around my puppy, I was surprised the water bottle and pillow were introduced. I remain hesitant in my use of these. I responded 'no' to the question below because of my hesitation, but if there was a 'maybe' I would have chosen that option instead. Perhaps my mind will change in time, this is my first dog after all and he is still very young. This comment is in no way is a reflection of Philippa's expertise and efforts. She was great, so positive and helpful! I particularly liked the way she had me recap what I was doing and saying and then unpack why. Fantastic teaching!
