Ric dealt with Barking, Recall
Ric was very clear with the training for Stevie. We train her everyday and she is like a different dog, hardly barking and getting better with her recall. I look after her sister a lot and she’s improving too. Thanks Ric for the difference that you’ve made with your training program and schedule.
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you so much for sharing this update. It’s wonderful to hear how well Stevie is responding to the training and that you’re seeing such a positive change in her barking and recall. Your consistency and commitment to the daily practice make all the difference, and it’s great to know her sister is benefiting too. I really appreciate your kind words about the program and training schedule. It’s been a pleasure supporting you, and I’m thrilled to see the progress you’ve created with both dogs. Looking forward to our next session soon. Kind Regards Ric

Ric was professional in following up on our enquiries and arrived on time for our first session. He explained things very clearly and was patient with our questions. Ric is obviousy passionate about dog training and this could be clearly seen in how he dealt with our dog on the day.

Ric dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Separation anxiety
Highly recommend Ric from Bark Busters. I have 2 German shepherds that are great dogs but needed just a little tweaking and in my first session I was able to learn the right correction technique for helping my dogs make decisions for themselves. I loved the fact that Ric came to my home to see my dogs in their environment and he spent a considerable amount of time just explaining everything to me so I now am confident in understanding my dogs needs and become the leader they need.
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with your two German Shepherds, and I’m glad the first in‑home session has helped your confidence and adding good techniques and understanding to your training and their needs. They’re fantastic dogs, and your commitment to learning and leading them will make all the difference as they continue to grow. Kind Regards Ric

Ric dealt with Aggression, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
Wow, Chilly respected Ric on arrival. We saw a change in behaviour in the first 10 mins. We appreciated the detailed advice and follow-up email with detailed instruction for us. In two days, Chilly has learned how to walk through doors and walk on a lead without pulling. Highly recommend Ric, worth every penny!
Trainer note from Ric

You both have done a fantastic job putting the strategies into practice — with consistency will make all the difference. I’m really glad the follow‑up notes were helpful as well. Please keep me posted on Chilly’s progress, I'm looking forward to our next session. Thank you. Kind Regards Ric

Ric is a great guy, supportive, patient and knowledgeable. In just a short time he assisted our dog with recall, pulling on the lead and jumping in and out of the car. Totally recommend him!

Ric dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Separation anxiety
Ric was very thoughtful and detailed and nurturing. I really appreciated the thought that went into every explanation and demonstration.
We’ve been through quite a journey my pup and I and at times it did feel hopeless, but now after our first session I’m hopeful that we have the right support with Ric!
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Sage, Thank you for your review, when you had told me you have used multiple training programs and had no success, I knew we would be able to help you. We do see many situations like yours, when you focus on dogs natural behaviour and communication rather than new age gimmicks, well the proof is in the results. I'm so happy for you both keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to seeing you in a our next session. Kind Regards Ric

We were absolutely blown away with Ric’s knowledge and approach to the boys. We first contacted Ric to seek help with getting our dogs be able to leave the cat alone and to share living spaces. After the first session, we were able to see how effective this training will be! We’re very excited to continue the training and see the changes with the dogs.
Trainer note from Ric
Hello, Thank you for your review, those two boys are just lovely dogs. Their games are just a bit full on, continue with the exercises and your progress will grow. Remember until our next session if you need anything, I'm only a phone call away, Looking forward to our next session see you soon.

Ric dealt with Barking, Chewing, Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety, Other
Ric is an outstanding trainer. In one session he completely transformed how our dog behaves on the lead, at the door, and around the house. He explains the psychology behind every step, gives clear instructions, and pushes you just enough to actually learn the technique properly. Our dog was calmer, more focused, and more relaxed than we’ve ever seen him. Ric’s approach is practical, fair, and genuinely effective. Highly recommend to anyone wanting real results and a trainer who truly knows his craft.
