Gabriel is fantastic, he is a highly experienced dog trainer. He took the time (visited use multiply times) to not only show but explain dog training techniques - resulting in our puppy being a dream! Thank you
Trainer note from Head Office
Teddy is a lovely dog who has responded beautifully to his training and has learnt not to bark at work.

Kelly dealt with Chewing, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall
We recently rehomed a 3 year old Rotti who had absolutly no manners or training, she is a sweet girl but dominating, pushy and impossible on the lead. We met with Kelly and wow, within the first lesson I could not believe the change, no pulling on the lead, doesn't barge through the doors, in fact she will move back and wait patiently until we are in or out. 2 weeks on and Storm has improved greatly, I cannot thank you enough Kelly for all your training help, and for educating us as well. Thank you!
Trainer note from Kelly
Storm is, in a nutshell, an absolute gentle giant - she is so lucky to have landed in your home and your consistent training and positive reinforcement have made this lovely Rottweiler a much better mannered girl! Really pleased with her door manners and walking at our second lesson - can't wait to consolidate on recall and front of house focus and control at our 3rd lesson! Well done everyone!

22nd July 2018 - Todd Morris
Todd dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Recall, Sibling rivalry
Philip was fantastic. He was very informative, and provided us with a great deal of knowledge about Tut's behaviour, and his needs. Philip gave us clear and easy instructions to follow, and he was happy to answer any and all questions we had regarding how to best train Tut, to ease his anxiety, and to ensure his well being. We are very glad the Bark Busters approach does not revolve around punishment of Tut. Instead, the focus is on positive reinforcement. We saw a huge difference in Tut by the end of the first training session and are excited to see how he progresses in the future.
Trainer note from Todd
Tut is an 8 month old Lagotto Italian Truffle Dog and he is much loved by his humans. He barked much too much and jumped on everyone too much. He mouthed and also started peeing inside again. He pulled on the lead and had become dog reactive and aggressive on walks. His lesson with Bark Busters went brilliantly. We saw him calm down and actually lay in his playpen without crying or barking, something he had never done before. He showed us he wants to be a good boy and just needed some direction and guidance. Well done team Tut.

We have only had one session to date, but both my husband and I really enjoyed it. We felt a sense of relief, knowing we had hope in helping Roxy to overcome some issues. We feel excited and motivated to put the training into practice. Heather was lovely, so happy and reassuring.

Stefanie dealt with Jumping up, Recall, Sibling rivalry
Stefanie was great to work with, she was professional and patient as we navigated some behavioural changes with our boy Trevor. She has also been a great resource as we refine our skills and feel very confident that she will support us into the future. A great experience for Trevor as well as us. Thanks Stefanie!
Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Judy! Trevor (1 year old terrier cross) is such a good natured pup, brimming with exuberance. He was very responsive to training, immediately calming down after starting his first lesson. He improved in his car manners by sitting calmly and also not crying when being left alone in the car. He also now walks next to his family instead of pulling ahead. Well done Trevor and his family!

Todd dealt with Barking, Puppy management, Sibling rivalry, Toileting
Philip was very patient and provided excellent guidance. I noticed an immediate improvement in my five month old dachshund. Money well spent.
Trainer note from Todd
Bruno is just 5 months old and the cutest little guy ever. His loving humans needed help with toilet training as they live in a unit on the second floor. Bruno was also crying and barking when left alone. In fact he barked as soon as his humans left his sight. Here’s an sms I received the morning after our initial lesson: “Thank you so much Philip last night was the first night we slept through uninterrupted!! You’re a miracle worker!†Well done Bruno too!

Absolutely brilliant. We had instant success with Kobe and he is so pleasant to be around and much calmer around the house. Worth every penny

Catharina dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Other
Cat is amazing. I wasn't confident that anyone would be able to teach my dog to walk on his lead without pulling and grabbing it in his mouth and becoming quite aggressive. Cat is like a magician and had my dog doing several things including walking on his lead within 2 and a half hours. We were left with training to do with my dog everyday and I thought that this afternoons training would be interesting seeing as Catharina wasn't here and that Bau might play up, but to my surprise he did everything perfect. I would highly recommend Catharina and Bark Busters.

Trainer note from Catharina
Bau is a beautiful year old, 50kg, American Bulldog cross American Staffi. He had issues around pulling on the lead, grabbing at his lead and generally being a handful on walks which meant he wasn't getting to go out as much as his owners would like. He also was dominating to their other 13 year old dog. He was jealous of any attention his owners gave her. He responded very well to the Bark Busters training, and to his owners, I'm looking forward to our next session where we can progress him further! Well done guys!
