Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

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!!!

Faith was patient, understanding and was more than happy to listen to my concerns without judgement. I now feel empowered to continue knowing the result from the first session were so positive. Its simple and easy to understand. I loved listening to such a passionate and positive trainer. Faith is amazing. Answers all my email questions promptly.I have already spoken to friends in need and will always fly the Bark Busters flag.

Faith is very knowledgeable, kind, gentle,competent and experienced, but also very patient. Molly responded immediately. Molly was noticeably calmer and less anxious when walked near barking dogs, plus less barking and umping by her. We chose Bark Busters because the training techniques were based on the feelings of the dog, not just behaviour management. Molly earlier experiences as a puppy caused her issues. Bark Busters has enabled us to better met her needs and this has bought about significant improvements in her behaviours. Thank you Faith - you are amazing !

Jane was great in helping us understand our 2 GSPs behaviour and how to use body language and our voices to communicate with them. She was also very helpful in explaining to us the relationship between the two dogs - with the female being the pack leader and the male basically doing what he was told by the female. We are thrilled with the way the two dogs can now walk calmly on a lead without pulling. Taking them for a walk was not a pleasant experience before Jane helped us and it was near impossible for one person to walk the two dogs - now they calmly walk next to each other, making walks very enjoyable. We highly recommend Jane's services!

Absolutely brilliant! Glen has a lovely calm nature and is very knowledgeable about the canine world

This is the second dog Glen has helped us with. The time we spend with Glen focuses on the dogs but also towards how we conduct ourselves better as the master, probably the hardest part of the training is teaching us. We feel happy to discuss with him what we do right but also more importantly what we are doing wrong with no judgement, he is supportive whilst correcting our mistakes.

We're so happy we got in contact with Ken. The daily and ongoing for life techniques he taught us are really working. We've had great progress with Kip in getting him to feel relaxed and more confident in our leadership. Ken was accomodating with appointment times, he clearly and patiently trained us to train Kip. Ken is great with follow us messages to check if we have any questions or issues. We only wish we had called sooner!
