Todd dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Sibling rivalry, Toileting
Excellent and very patient trainer.
Trainer note from Todd
Shelley is a 7 year old Maltese X Chihuahua female who was getting aggressive with her owner and didn't come when called. She also had some toilet accidents inside. Pulling on the lead rounded off her issues. She walked today without pulling for the first time and showed great responses. Her owner was very happy. So was Shelley herself as she could relax more as mum took the leadership. Well done Shelley and Anna. â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸

Kia dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall
Kia was absolutely amazing, she was quick to respond after our call for help and got straight to work our Maremma, Kody was very happy to comply with the commands and instruction given and learnt quickly the do's and don'ts of the program and within a few hours he seems calmer and more relaxed with other external noises , cant wait to continue our training with our boy to further enrich our lives together, thank you Kia and Bark Busters
14th November 2018 - Ken Tran
Ken dealt with Barking, Jumping up
Originally when Ken first came out the dogs were a lot younger. The training was fantastic and we thought we had understood everything. However a year on and we found that we needed Ken's help again. Ken went through the training again but gave us more strategies to control the dogs especially when we have visitors. He explained how we need to be in control and not the dogs controlling us.
13th November 2018 - Emma Reeves
Emma dealt with Barking, Digging, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety, Sibling rivalry
When Emma came into the house and watched the dogs in their environment, she knew exactly what issues the dogs had, even issues i didn't think they had especially Frankie.
She went through the flip chart and explained everything really well and i quickly realised that i was doing pretty much everything wrong.
Once we got into the training and started using the refocus word the dogs responded pretty much immediately. They are slowly but surely realising that we are the leaders now.
There has been a massive improvement within the first week.
I am extremely grateful for Emma's help.
Trainer note from Emma
Frankie, a 2 year old English Staffy, and Rosie, a 4 year old Kelpie x Rottweiler, were not getting along. Frankie was being aggressive towards Rosie when the family was around. They would both bark at EVERYTHING, jump on everyone, pull on their leads, and not come when called. They also wouldn't always sit or stay when told, would steal things from the bin, and sometimes they would also dig & chew things up. By the end of their first speak dog session we saw huge improvements in both dogs! Their family still have a way to go, but with Bark Busters life of the dog support they are certainly on their way to calm, relaxed, obedient dogs.

Ken dealt with Pulling, Puppy management, Sibling rivalry, Toileting
Ken was very good with Annabelle and us. Very patient and thorough in his explanations and training. I would have no hesitation at all recommending him to other dog owners.

Ken dealt with Barking, Jumping up
My dog has responded really well since Ken has visited, even though our dog of 10years seemed like a impossible fix to us, she has stopped barking and is more relaxed. As long as we continue to show leadership everyone is happy.
12th November 2018 - Head Office
Head Office dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling
Jane was amazing, from the minute she came in, Winston was like a different dog. He has stopped jumping up at guests, barking at the tv and pulling on the lead. He is also a lot calmer.

Todd dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Philip is a world of knowledge when it comes to training and communicating with dogs. His instructions and techniques were easy to follow and he made us feel at ease during the training process. We saw almost instant results on the lead and can't wait to continue training our two dogs using Philip's techniques. We can't recommend enough!
Trainer note from Todd
Thanks Stella for your kind words. Chilli is a 1 year old Labradoodle and Ziggy a 2 year old Spoodle. They were dog aggressive/reactive and pulled hard on the leash. They barked too. We saw fantastic responses in the first lesson and they both walked without pulling for the first time. Followup training will further consolidate their new improved behaviours. Well done Chilli and Ziggy.

Stefanie dealt with Aggression, Jumping up, Puppy management, Recall
To say that Stef is a genius sells her way short. We now have a delightful bordoodle named Molly who was a little of a hand full. She had some unpleasant behaviours which are now, after 2 Visits/lessons with Stef very manageable. As a 6 month old pup she is now showing signs of a delightful companion we got her for. To Stef we salute you thank you and would recommend you to anyone. Many many thanks

Trainer note from Stefanie
Thank you Lyn! I have thoroughly enjoyed working with you and your family, with Molly the happy Poodle x Border Collie. Being such an intelligent girl and also given that she's only 7 months old, we faced quite a few difficult challenges with her, including her exuberance. I am glad to see such great progress in such a short time and look forward to any future lessons with her. Keep up the great work!

Todd dealt with Puppy management
Excellent. Informative and worthwhile. Varied and appropriate for our needs. A lovely approach to our puppies. And to us too...
Trainer note from Todd
I love puppy lessons! 🤗 It's so good to help new owners communicate with their new pups and establish a great relationship from early on. No need for treats or physical punishment with our training either. I hope you enjoy young 3 month old Border Collie Molly and 3 month old Moodle Jessie. So cute both of themâ¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸

Emma dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Emma was very thorough and knowledgeable. She provided all support equipment and could answer any questions we had. She gave us some great tips regarding Aggys diet and helped us understand why his behaviour may have changed. She explained and showed all the training exercises really well. I have already recommended her to my neighbours.
Trainer note from Emma
Agro (or Aggy as he is more affectionately known) is a 4 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback x Mastiff. Aggy's family called Bark Busters for help after he attacked another dog. He was also causing trouble with: - barking - jumping - pulling on the lead - not coming when called - over excited behaviour - very easily distracted They all did a fantastic job during their first speak dog session and Aggy was a very tired boy by the end of the session. Keep up the great work guys.
