Head Office dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Sibling rivalry
Grace was wonderful. We had a huge problem with barking and a council complaint to work with. After the first session our 7 month old staffy was able to sleep outside all night with no barking or noise. Considering he slept on our bed since we first got him this was huge. She also helped us with jumping up and keeping him calm when we get home so he's not overly excited. It's now been a month and he's slept outside every night, we can leave him during the day and not have to stress about neighbours complaining. Barking is now minimal crying noises and Grace is coming back to help us re-visit this issue. I highly recommend Grace for any barking issues.

Todd dealt with Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Philips explanations of why Koa was doing what had become an issue for me, was great. On a rate of 10 I was amazed at the noticeable different in Koa's behaviour in our first session. The training is very easy to follow and it was about training me to understand how to communicate with Koa in a language understood by dogs. Lots of fun.
Trainer note from Todd
Jarrod believed Koa, a Bull Terrier male of about 8 months, was deaf. He commented that other trainers were not keen to take on a deaf dog. Well, Bark Busters will happily! During the lesson I tested Koa's response to noises and he definitely can hear something. So our lesson went smoothly and our special deaf dog training techniques weren't needed yet. Koa responded well and Jarrod was able to call him and achieve real recall. Next lesson we're working more on general obedience and I'm confident Koa will continue to improve. His jumping was pretty well sorted by the first lesson already! Maybe he's a little hard of hearing, and maybe he was just a little stubborn and choosing to ignore his human's commands! Until we started to #speakdog!

Todd dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
The training process was really easy to follow. Max improved almost immediately.
Trainer note from Todd
Max is a 3-4 year old male Cavoodle, and extremely cute! However his constant state of alert and frequent barking was causing lots of stress st home. He was also very wilful when it came to staying on his mat when inside. By the end of our first lesson he was responding really well to our simple vocal refocus. When we tried him out with me knocking on the front door after the lesson he barely made a sound and he stayed on his mat in the lounge room. What an improvement! Well done Amanda & Max! See in two weeks for a follow up lesson.

Glen & Maureen dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management
Glen came out to us on Easter Sunday and took us throughly through everything connected to our 9 month old lab puppy's training - including things like diet and how this impacted her behaviour . We immediately saw the impact of Glen's method, and really like the fact the training is done without using treats as rewards but rather just establishing ourselves our the dominant. We are seeing improvements and look forward to continuing to work with Glen.

Peter dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling, Sibling rivalry
I do not recall the date of Pongo's first lesson with Peter but he was AMAZING!! He was so respectful of Pongo who is an extremely anxious dog. Meeting Peter was a non event for Pongo. He listened to Peter (who clearly has great rapport with animals) and was very teachable for me. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Trainer note from Peter
Thanks Teri, It was October 2015. Pongo is a male, 4yr old now, Collie x Dachshund that had quite a few issue when we started. Separation anxiety, dog aggression, barking on walks, pulling, nips at hands to name a few. Thank you Teri for your commitment in helping Pongo and working together with Bark Busters. This helped make Pongo a calmer happier dog . Good on you

Todd dealt with Barking, Pulling, Toileting
The explanations explained to help me understand Ruby's behaviour and how she perceived things as a dog made perfect sense and were easily understood and put into practice. It was both interesting and enjoyable and I saw Ruby's behaviours like jumping barking toileting and coming when called all addressed. Looking forward to meeting again with Philip to see Ruby and myself at our next scheduled appointment.
Trainer note from Todd
Ruby is just 20 weeks old and an American Saffy. Very cute and energetic. She responded immediately to the new Behavioural rules. Her behaviour needed improvement and that's what we saw. Well done Frank and Sam.

Cat was so great, we learnt so many things about dogs that we didn't know and had taught us so many skills. Our dog is already improved and we couldn't be happier with the service. We are recommending to all our friends
Trainer note from Catharina
Scooby is a 9 month old Border Collie with a lot of love to give! He responded well to the training that his owners did with him... We addressed the typical "working dog" things like jumping and herding the kids! I look forward to our next catch up..

Catharina spent so much time with us to thoroughly cover all areas of concern with our dog, Rico. She made sure my partner and I were both on the same page and walked us through everything, at our own pace. I was super impressed with her knowledge of all things dog, and have taken on board all she said. She was in no way pushy or overpowering. And last but not least the lifetime guarantee is awesome.
Trainer note from Catharina
Rico is such a lovely 1 year old Red Heeler, and not what you would expect! He is quiet, shy and just waiting for a little more guidance. His owners did that perfectly and helped him to understand that visitors do not need to be feared. I look forward to seeing his progress at our next catch up and having him join in at the park sessions...
