Stefanie dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall
Stephanie was great - she explained everything clearly, and I saw results with Rosie within the first week. She followed up on our progress and was always available to discuss our approach.
Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Steph! Little Rosie the mini aussie shepherd pup is so cute and cheeky! It is a lot of fun training her the both of you! Well done on her progress and no doubt she will continue to grow into a well mannered adult with the boundaries and guidance you are implementing. Keep up the great work!

really impressed by stef's approach to training our american staffy. she has taught us many ways of preventing him from getting too hyperactive and de-escalating him when he becomes aggressive.
Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Ameila! It was lovely to work with you and your family. Pac the rescue american staffy is an absolute sweetie though he does not know his size and strength. Well done with his initial progress, especially with loose leash walking.

Stefanie dealt with Barking, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety, Other
Stef is incredible! From the minute we met, she made a big difference to our 5 year old mini dachshund’s behaviour. Stef educated us on the reasons why Archie is behaving the way he is and gave clear instructions and demonstrations on how to change the dynamic in our household. Archie struggles with Separation anxiety, lead manners, barking at people/ reactivity and overall stubbornness with not listening to us.
We have only had one lesson and it’s only been a few days of following the training instructions and Archie has already shown great progress.
Stef has made my husband and I feel so hopeful and her reassurance has eased our own anxiety with Archie’s behaviour.
We feel very thankful that we have Stef to guide us with this big change!
Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Emily! Little Archie is such a sweet boy and clearly wants to please. Well done in showing him that he does not have to be in charge any more so that he can just sit back and relax! You all executed the training techniques very well during the lesson and it is great to see that you're getting results already! Keep it up and I look forward to pushing for further progress in our next session.

Stefanie dealt with Barking, Other
Stefanie was SO informative. The theory part of the training was so well thought out & made so much sense. My dog Jax, a very cute chocolate Labrador who is quite timid and barks at all people due to being worried. This was sorted by the end of the lesson, with the tools given to us we were better prepared everytime Jax barked. We are excited to see Stefanie again and show off Jax’ immediate improvement. He used to lunge at dogs on the TV and it’s only been 3-4 days since our lesson and he will calmly watch the dogs on the tv now. He’s also making better decisions and not being so cheeky. I am so incredibly grateful for the tools I’ve learnt as I was on my last straw with Jax. I couldn’t recommend a better trainer. The passion that Stefanie brings to her role as a trainer is undeniable which helps any doubts. 10/10 would recommend!
Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Hamida! Jax is one special boy and I can tell he's very much loved! Well done in executing the techniques and getting such great progress under a short period of time! This is just the beginning and I am certain in time he will be a lot more confident while looking to you for guidance. Again, well done and keep up the awesome work!

Steph was fantastic. We used her services 4 years ago with our other dog and wanted to use her again with the second dog. She explains things well and easy to follow her guide. She's lovely to talk to and listens to our concerns. Highly recommend Steph.
Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Nicole! It was great seeing and working with you and your family again! Your first pup Monty has grown into such a well mannered adult, as we knew he would! Now Stormi, your second pup, is so different in personality but very much responsive to training. No doubt he will follow in Monty's steps! Please keep up the training and reach out any time you require assistance!

Stef is an incredibly skilled trainer and we are so grateful to have had her guidance and expertise with our puppy Maggie. We could not recommend her dog training services enough! Stef/Bark busters has supported us to feel confident and empowered to be a leader to Maggie. Thank you for your wisdom Stef!
Trainer note from Stefanie
Thank you Aimee! It's such a pleasure to work with awesome owners such as yourself and Tom! Maggie the English Setter is such a smart cookie and does try hard to figure things out. No doubt with continued consistency in training, she is going to grow into such a well balanced and sweet girl! Keep up the great work and looking forward to seeing her progress!
