Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Our Bull Arab cross pup Max was way too rough with our cats, with in minutes of our first session with Cat his behaviour was corrected and we have been able to easily maintain this and now Max and the cats can be in the same room without any chasing or lunging. We also have family visiting with younger children and we were quickly able to calm Max from wanting to jump up when they arrived using the techniques we learned during our first training session. Thank you very much, Bev & Gary. Amazing progress in such a short time thanks Cat!!

Emma was absolutely amazing to work with! We went into the session with really high hopes and expectations, and Emma exceeded them all! Our 14 month old border collie x blue heeler Niffler suffers from quite terrible separation anxiety and fear-based aggression and it was getting to the point where we had concerns about how we would get something as simple as her yearly vaccinations done because she just wouldn't let a stranger within 5 metres of her at all times. So we organised a session with Emma and she talked myself, my partner and my brother through each training technique step by step in a very straight-forward and easy to understand way, and then showed us how to apply these methods when training Niffler and the change was unbelievable! After just a few hours of very gentle, firm-but-fair training we saw Niff change from a nervous and fearful dog into a calm, responsive and attentive dog who placed all of her trust into us. Finally seeing her relax and grow so comfortable around Emma (the only 'stranger' who has ever been able to walk into our house and not have Niffler growling/barking/snapping constantly at her!) was just the most wonderful thing and it was all we could've hoped for and more! We can't wait to see what she's like in a few more weeks if she's already improved so much in just a day! I would definitely recommend Emma to anyone and everyone who has any concerns in regards to their dogs training and education, or even if you just want to make sure you're being the best leader and partner you can be for your best friend! I can never ever thank Emma enough and I'm so excited to see Niffler improve more and more every day! From Gabby, Aaron, Corey and Niffler.

I couldn't believe within the first 5 seconds of meeting Maureen my dog was already listening to her and not taking his eyes off of her just waiting to see what to do next!!!! I can't wait for a revisit to see how we are going!!!

Could not believe the change in our dog. She was so calm and happy and we love her so much.

Stef has been fantastic in helping me with Charlies behaviour. The training techniques used where easy to implement and continue to use over the last 2.5 weeks. I saw immediate changes in Charlies behaviour problems, which have continued to improve with consistent training each day. She barely pulls at all on the lead and is much improved when walking past other dogs. She rarely barks at the tv or door any more which has been a relief. Im really enjoying the changes and having a more relaxed and calm dog. Thank you!

Loved it and the dogs responded really well

Maureen was so great at helping train my 9 month old Pomeranian she taught me so much about what I can do as well in just one session

Excellent! Philip knows his stuff! We are well on the way to achieving harmony in our house. He gave us the knowledge and tools to train our naughty Aussie bulldog, and our anxious golden retriever. We are over the moon with the results so far and are looking forward to even more progress going forward. We cannot thank him enough for his help.

Ken has been great with Rocco and great with helping us manage some of our beloved puppie's more difficult behaviours. We're still not there yet and the return visits have been improving him each time. Ken is a fantastic teacher and trainer and we highly recommend this service to anyone who needs a helping hand in training their fur baby. This is the 2nd dog we have used barkbusters for in 20 years and their techniques and behavioural management strategies are incredibly effective. Thanks again Ken and barkbusters!

We have seen a major change in both of our dogs' overall behaviour. Had I known earlier that Isla would benefit so much from training, I would have contacted Emma much sooner! Credence's training is coming along nicely, even though he has been a bit more challenging at times. So far this has been the best investment we could have made for our dogs for a good long term solution. Thanks for training the owners as well Emma ;-)

First session was excellent. Already seeing improvements in the way our dog listens and behaves.

Beautiful Lola. Our story begins with Lola an America Staffy X Boxer/Labrador retriever. Lola was a surrendered dog to a shelter we visited where we then decided to adopt her into our family. Unfortunately Lola's history was lacking in information. We fell in love with the concept of adopting and rescuing a dog and the dream that everything will work itself out. Lola was at the time of adoption a very boisterous 2 year old. We also have a seven year old family Shiba Inu. I truly had no idea of what lay ahead. Our family consists of four. Our children are young adults and with that we all have different ways of dealing and expressing ourselves. We are also very relaxed, stress free and generally a quiet household. We felt extreme pity for Lola and there was the start of our own undoing. She was on the beds, the couch, walking in the kitchen, pulling when on walks, barking at the gate, barking at our family dog, showed dog aggression and people reactive traits. It was chaos. We trained Lola where she would sit, drop, wait and walk beautifully on a lead whilst in our backyard but once on the street it was hell. Her behaviour was out of control at times, whether it was anxiety or nervousness. In stepped Peter from Bark Busters. He has trained not Lola but US. We are now, as a family, all on the same page. He has shown us not to pity Lola but to embrace her and show her where she fits in the family order. We now have no issues in the household with her. Our Shiba is no longer being barked at. Peace has been restored and tensions have gone. Peter has given us the tools to now enjoy our walks on the street and outings to the parks. Slowly each day Lola improves on her outings; coping better and responding quickly. Peter has given us the confidence to tackle a situation that we crumbled at before. People I met on my walks who knew Lola before bark buster can't believe it's the same dog. Each day is a new day and some of those days we have hiccups however the next day seems better than ever. We still have more work to do but the outlook is positive. Peter's words of wisdom ,encouragement and praise are rewarding as too are the efforts of completing the training schedule. The outcome has been worth every bit of effort. It is an awesome feeling when you walk somewhere with a well behaved dog because it actually turns heads. Life is not perfect and I don't expect Lola to be perfect, she is a dog with a wonderful personality. Lola has come such a long way and so have we. The bond between Lola and us and also with our family dog is amazing. Lola has been with us now for 7 months and I have no regrets. Peter has helped us so much. Actually My only regret is that I wished I called bark busters sooner. The tools Peter has taught us are life skills in which my children now have for when they have their own pets. Thank you bark busters! THANK YOU Peter!!!
