Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Emma was very professional, personable and understanding. We were given a good insight as to how the Bark Busters one-on-one training functioned. As our dog Mason is a reasonably placid young dog, we soon came to realise it was the two of us that needed the training. Not long after starting the lesson plan Mason was responding well and not rushing to the fence line to bark at next doors dogs. Basic leash training went well as did the recall on the long lead. We are looking forward to applying the techniques we were taught over the next few weeks.

We contacted Kelly from bark busters when we introduced our girl Trixie (staffy x) to our boy Typo (Staffy). They had a fight resulting in Trixie having to have stitches. Kelly was able to meet with us to guide us in how to create a safe environment for both our dogs. When Kelly first met Typo and Trixie they had a bunch of bad habits like jumping, nipping and barking. Kelly taught us how to give our dogs boundaries and expectations, and how some changes in diet and habits can create big ripples in our household. After 4 weeks we can see massive changes. Our dogs are calm and responsive to commands. We have seen big changes in walking and leash work. Kelly helped with behaviour we didn't even know were issues.

Ned is a Kelpie x he is 14 months old. I was having problems with him jumping and biting at the lead. After one session with Cat we have seen a big improvement, he is becoming calmer and we are working towards him not being anxious around moving cars. Cat's training methods are easy to understand and follow. I had been to other group training but having one on one with Cat has helped us address our individual problems. I would highly recommend Cat and the Bark Busters training she has been amazing.

Graeme was fabulous. I learnt so much and Harry responded right away. Was great doing it in my own home not having to go to somewhere with other dogs (socialisation is great but when there are issues not so much). I liked the one on one and found it great value for money.

Amazing to see such quick results in response to what had become an entrenched problem of barking at TV and outside noises. A much calmer and more relaxed dog. Good training of the owner so my dog can enjoy being a dog and not my protector.

Was so pleased to see the instant improvement with our dogs. Didn't think it would be so successful after just 2 hours with Glen.

The guidance and advice delivered by Glen provided us with a new beginning to a happier time with our dog. A significant change was noted on the first day.

The training was great. Ken was very professional and the results were visible immediately.

I enjoyed talking with Faith and have been practising the strategies she gave. Still have a fair bit of training to go but I was happy I gave Bark Busters a ca.

As a first time dog owner, with really no clue about how to effectively train our dog, we were at our wit's end with our 7 month old rescue puppy, Chase. His continual jumping up, biting, barking and attention seeking behaviours were progressively getting worse and starting to show signs of aggression...oh and forget about leaving the house in a timely fashion! Chase would guard the door like nobody's business. We felt like prisoners in our own home! Sadly, we were losing love very quickly and wondering whether we had taken on more than we could handle. Cue, Bark Busters! We are happy to say that our recent training session with Peter couldn't have come at a more perfect time. We very quickly realised after hearing the valuable information about the way dogs communicate and behave, who was really running the show...Chase! Peter was quick to identify the areas for improvement and guided us through the training techniques in an encouraging and guiding manner. At no point did we feel judged or made to feel as though we were "bad" dog owners. He taught us how to communicate with Chase in dog language and provided us with a training program and all training equipment to allow us to continue Chase's training on a daily basis. We started to see changes in Chase's behaviour almost instantly and our confidence as dog owners grew simultaneously. Thanks to Peter and the Bark Buster's training techniques, we now have a happier dog who know respects us as his pack leaders. We would highly recommend the home training service to others and feel that the monetary investment was completely worth it in order to create a calm, respectful and happy relationship with our dog.

Our two beautiful dogs started developing extremely aggressive and volatile behaviour which we had started to completely lose hope with (as we had googled and researched our hearts out on what to do with minimal/no success)... But after committing to follow through with contacting a trainer- we chose Bark Busters based on their excellent reputation and incredible phone call with who was also the trainer, Emma. Despite 2-3 years of progressively worse behaviour, Emma has given us an arsenal of training, tips and equipment all included which has completely reformed the way myself, my partner and our dogs Loki & Gaia co-exist! Thank you Emma & Bark Busters for pathing a future for a good quality of life for us all, we look forward to the future sessions and the lifetime support included is absolutely incredible.

Emma you are a star. I have a 2 and a half year old Labrador Bruno. I was having all sorts of issues with Bruno as I am his third owner but his last owner thanks to Emma. He got attacked by a dog not long after I got him , since then he wants to attack every dog he sees. So he was a night mare to walk so I would take him early in the morning and late at night so he couldn’t see any other dogs, but I couldn’t see Bruno as he is a Chocolate Lab. Emma came to our home and trained me and also Bruno what a amazing difference. Emma I can’t thank you enough for all your help you are amazing. Thanks Jo and Bruno
