Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials
8th July 2018 - Catharina Jeffery
Catharina dealt with Aggression, Hyperactivity, Pulling
Awesome session and Cat was so lovely.
The reason I called Bark Busters was because my Mastiff X is fearful of people and can show it by lashing out and it's affecting all of our lives. I needed help to understand his needs.
We started with the basics but even that is quite intensive at the start for myself, my partner and Alpha! Lots of homework to practice :-) We can't wait for the next session and work on some other things and keep working towards our goals.
Trainer note from Catharina
Alpha is a 4 and a half year old Mastiff cross. He needed some leadership and guidance around interacting with people he didn't know. When this training is done correctly, dogs respond by becoming more confident in their owners and more relaxed in general. He did really well on his first session, and I'm looking forward to his follow up :)

We have been struggling to stop our dogs barking and pulling on the lead as well as aggression. So we decided to find a professional dog trainer to teach us how to teach our dogs. We are glad that we chose Bark Busters and have Philip here to help us. He showed us different technique to stop our dogs bad behaviour which were absolutely effective. Those techniques are perfectly match with our goal which is non physical punishment/any physically harm to my dogs.
Philip is punctual and friendly. He let us understood dog's behaviours and their view of the world. He is also a marvel of patience, he explained and showed us again and again without any hesitation.
During our training session, he was not only showing us those technique but also educated us on how dog's general well-being that will have a significant influence to their behaviours. We also learnt how to use dog lead and others equipment appropriately.
We will definitely recommend Bark Busters and Philip to others. Wish Philip and Bark Busters all the best in the future. We will see Phillip again in one week for follow up appointment and have lifetime supports . Cheers

Thank you for your kind words May. Maya's 2 dogs are great dogs although they need some guidance. Ceacer is a 4 year old male Border Collie who is dog aggressive when out. He also jumps and barks. He pulled on his lead to the point of choking. Darcy is a 5 year old male Golden retriever x Samoyed and he also pulled and barked. Together they sometimes fought as well. Both responded very well immediately to our gentle methods and I'm confident will continue to improve with consistent training. Keep it up May and see you next visit.

Trainer note from Emma
Billie is a 7 week old Bull Terrier, who has only been with her family for a few days. Our first session focused on puppy basics and preventing unwanted behaviour. Looking forward to our future sessions and seeing this girl grow into a well mannered dog.

Todd dealt with Barking, Pulling, Sibling rivalry
It was a hands on, practical session with positive results.
Trainer note from Todd
Boris is an 8 year old male German Shepherd and a lovely big and hairy fellow! We learnt lots about helping Boris to find peace at home. With our suggestions and some daily exercises Boris will be able to stop being so on edge. He’ll calm down and be able to rest rather then continue to wear a path around the yard. We introduced proven strategies to curb his nuisance barking.

Amazing results after the 1st session. We were blown away!! Glen was incredible. Training was easy to follow, made entire sense, results were seen immediately. Could not believe our eyes - where had our naughty dog gone all in one session. Incredible experience and knowledge. Glen was just lovely as so easy to talk to and get along with.

Trainer note from Emma
Layla, aged 3, and Ruckus, aged 4, are both English Staffordshire Terriers. They've been causing trouble and stirring each other up with barking, jumping, hyperactive behaviour, pulling on the lead, chewing plants & outdoor furniture, and having a few scraps with each other. With a new baby in the house their family decided it was time to get their behaviour in check. We saw an immediate change in both dogs during our first speak dog session, and have set a plan in place for on going training. Looking forward to our next session to see the continued improvements.

After two hours of training we saw instant results and we were amazed at how our dog reacted to us after this short amount of time.
Trainer note from Todd
Max is a 7 month old Golden Retriever who was a handful. He needed to focus on his humans. He nipped, jumped, pulled and generally misbehaved. His human is expecting in a few months and needed help to make sure Max would not jump on her with a new baby. Max also reacted to dogs when out. He did supper at our first lesson and with more work will improve in all area. We already solved the jumping in one lesson!

I loved that the training was all positive and did not involve scaring or intimidating my dog. My dog was calm and happy through the whole lesson. The training was very easy to understand and the feedback on my technique was very useful. It was interesting to get further insight into my dog's behaviour.

Very thorough and interesting.
Lots of great information.
Trainer note from Todd
Hooch is a 2 year old male Cattle Dog and he was barking a huge amount. Every little noise set him off. A thousand times a day. Especially the neighbours coming out into their yards or on their decks. Hooch showed us his true personality today. He’s a lovely soft natured boy and his barking is all an act. He needed a little guidance as to how should behave at home and he needed to understand that it’s not his responsibility to guard the yard! He got it! A very good start with further improvement ahead. Well done everyone!

The training was very informative and I have seen good results instantly with Alfie. So I am very happy and continue with the training technics Phil has provided
Trainer note from Todd
That's great to hear. Thank you! Alfie is a 2 year old male. Order Collie. He is really reactive and aggressive towards dogs when out on walks. He also reacts to anything moving past him including bicycles, skateboards, busses and noisy trucks or cars. We started on his road to recovery today and he responded really well. I'll be back to work further with you on his reactivity. He's such a big softy! Lovely boy.

At first I was a bit sceptical as to if this would work or not as my dog was a massive handful very energetic no ears type of dog but I decided to give it a go and myself and my family are blown away with the service Philip provided. 2 hours later we were all trained and so was our puppy it as if she is a different dog a dog who listens. Bark Busters have made our life a lot easier.
Trainer note from Todd
Marley is a beautiful 1 year old female English Staffy who was jumping up on everyone and nipping at them. She did as she pleased and didn’t come when called. She raced around the house when let inside and was no fun to be around. As her lovely humans said, she totally transformed during her first lesson. We all saw that she can be well behaved and just needed some guidance. Well done family!

Highly recommend, Jane was super helpful in training myself. Never having had a big dog before I certainly was out of my depth. Jane and the Bark Busters advice was extremely helpful in walking on lead, jumping, and overall ensuring I maintained control. Whenever required Jane is happy to come out and offer some helpful tips to get us back on track. Thank you Jane and Bark Busters, Chester and I appreciate your training and support.
