Kelly was full of information and friendly.
Trainer note from Kelly
Thanks Brian! It was so lovely to work with you both, and gaining and understanding of how we could get the behaviour of Benny, your Cavoodle, to work in better with your requirements, was crucial. Teaching in to walk nicely near the mobility scooter, without getting tangled, only jump up when asked, barking, and recall. In both lesson 1 and 2 we focused on all of these, as well as setting kitchen boundaries and positive crate training, and starting his obedience journey towards a PAT. Well done, great job!

Michelle dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
I thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. Naiki responded well, but I need to improve. Next morning I was feeling a little overwhelmed and unsure where to start. I was really pleased to receive the notes and they are helping me to get with it. I have got my 'growl' working. It will be interesting to see how we progress over the next few weeks.
Trainer note from Michelle
It was great to help you with Naiki - you did a great job with the training exercises and he responded beautifully. Just stick to the program, consistently apply the techniques and he will continue to improve and thrive in his new environment with you.

Ken dealt with Jumping up, Puppy management, Recall, Separation anxiety, Toileting
Ken is excellent. He provides very clear instruction for both dog and humans. The puppy is responding very well to training. I recommend him unreservedly.
9th October 2024 - Glen & Maureen Guelfi
Glen & Maureen dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
By far one of the best training sessions we have had. We had Glen come over and instantly picked up on the things we were lacking to do with our 4 year old German shepard shadow. He showed us how to overcome her fairs of barking and lunging at car while on lead. We saw a huge difference in her just with a few hours of training and have been really happy with her after too.
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thanks Mike, Shadow is a lovely dog and will only continue to learn with your guidance.

Ric dealt with Barking, Pulling, Separation anxiety
We are very happy with the service so far, Rick has been very helpful and we have already seen improvement in Sam’s walking. Information was well presented and easy to follow and understand.
Trainer note from Ric
Hello, Thank you for this review, Sam is such a beautiful boy. We still have a little work to do with his barking, his progress so far is great, he is a quick learner. Remember in the meantime I'm only a phone call away if you need anything, really looking forward to seeing you all again soon in our next session.

9th October 2024 - Martin Blattman
Martin dealt with Aggression, Barking, Recall
Our dog Indy has responded well to Martin's training. Her progress in the first 2 weeks has been most pleasing. She has responded well to walking on leash. We are happy with how quickly Indy has mastered walking beside us calmly. Indy is also going well with gate control. Again it has not taken long for her to learn this with Martin's techniques. Recall is challenging and we continue to work on this aspect. Overall, we are most pleased with the Bark Busters methods. Martin has explained everything to us in an easy to understand manner and has been most helpful.
Trainer note from Martin
Hi Teresa, thank you so much for your review. It was a pleasure working with you and your beautiful girl Indy, working on reactivity on lead towards dogs, lunging, pulling. Good to hear Indy is responding well on lead and looking forward to our next session working on recall.

7th October 2024 - Catharina Jeffery
Catharina dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling, Recall
Early days but have noticed immediate change in the dog. You have to put in the work but the methods obviously work really well. Our rescue dog is 8 years old so you can teach an old dog new tricks.
Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks for your review Liz, and good to hear that Murphey (8yo Staffy x Labrador) is responding well. Older dogs can have more engrained habits, but they can be changed through consistence and good canine communication. Looking forward to see him at your next lesson.

Glen & Maureen dealt with Puppy management, Toileting
Glen was amazing. His knowledge and understanding is second to none. The training we got from him on the first lesson for our 4 month old puppy was very effective. She has mastered the tasks given to us really quickly because of his training techniques. We would certainly recommend him to absolutely anyone.
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thanks Cam, glad everything is going so well.

Catharina dealt with Separation anxiety
Thanks so much to Catharina for starting Jendal off with such a simple approach by using canine language! It’s only been 3 days and we can already see a massive difference in his behaviour by setting simple boundaries. The training is so easy to incorporate into our daily activities.
Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks so much for leaving a review, I am pleased to hear that Jendal is doing well, and that it is helping you to settle him in at home and improve his separation anxiety. Looking forward to seeing his progress at your next lesson :)

Ric dealt with Aggression, Sibling rivalry
Ric was so kind and attentive when dealing with our dogs’ sibling rivalry. We have seen so much progress in the last couple months thanks to his help. We have a better bond with our dogs and we understand them more than ever before. Thank you Ric!!
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Chloe, I'm so happy you have turned your situation around, Sibling rivalry can be a horrible situation to deal with and can often lead to rehoming or euthanising. This is the worst result for any pack/family. This is why we trainers love this work we do, seeing great result like yours, Thank you for hard work and allowing me to assist with your pack, Well done great work Chloe!
