Stefanie dealt with Barking, Other
Stefanie was SO informative. The theory part of the training was so well thought out & made so much sense. My dog Jax, a very cute chocolate Labrador who is quite timid and barks at all people due to being worried. This was sorted by the end of the lesson, with the tools given to us we were better prepared everytime Jax barked. We are excited to see Stefanie again and show off Jax’ immediate improvement. He used to lunge at dogs on the TV and it’s only been 3-4 days since our lesson and he will calmly watch the dogs on the tv now. He’s also making better decisions and not being so cheeky. I am so incredibly grateful for the tools I’ve learnt as I was on my last straw with Jax. I couldn’t recommend a better trainer. The passion that Stefanie brings to her role as a trainer is undeniable which helps any doubts. 10/10 would recommend!
Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Hamida! Jax is one special boy and I can tell he's very much loved! Well done in executing the techniques and getting such great progress under a short period of time! This is just the beginning and I am certain in time he will be a lot more confident while looking to you for guidance. Again, well done and keep up the awesome work!

I can't recommend Maureen from Bark Busters enough! After just one session, I began to see improvements in my dog's behaviour. Maureen was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to understand my dog's specific needs. The methods she used were clear, effective, and made an immediate difference. I’m so impressed with the results already and am excited to continue working together. If you're looking for someone who can truly make a difference with your dog, then look no further!
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thank you very very much Claire, I am delighted that little Max is doing so well, he is such a gorgeous boy.

Glen & Maureen dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall
We can finally relax whilst walking our Teddy. We adopted Teddy when he was 4 years old, and he struggled with seeing other dogs and walking on the lead. After Glen came to our house, he has Teddy under control in minutes. Whilst we are still learning the techniques, Teddy is much easier to handle, and we are over the moon.
In addition, we went to one of Glens dog meet ups in the park. Our Teddy displayed the behaviours we spoke to Glen about, and again - fixed within minutes. Highly recommend seeing Glen to get to know your dog better!
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thank you very much, So glad that Teddy is learning & listening.

Ken was very calm and patient with us as dog owners. He explained and demonstrated the strategies and allowed enough time for us to practice under his guidance and coaching.

My partner and I have a Maltese Shih Tzu and Cavoodle. We booked in with Bark Busters in hopes of establishing toilet training, barking behaviours and more. The first session was very informative as we were educated about “dog languages,” correct training techniques, the importance of establishing leadership and more. The session was also very interactive - Maureen showed us training techniques, corrected our techniques, and gave advice in all of our areas of concern. By the end of the session, we saw huge progress with our boys. Maureen was extremely lovely and we had such a positive experience. Highly recommend to any pawrents in need of some assistance!

Laura dealt with Aggression, Pulling, Separation anxiety
Laura is a wealth of information. Not patronising, but informative and clear. She got our boy Lemmy listening to her in minutes, and that helped me see immediately that I can command using similar behaviour. Lemmy has issues pining in the car on the way to a walk, and reacting aggressively to other dogs. Laura is helping us see the triggers and desensitise Lemmy. Its comforting to know that Laura is there to help.

Laura dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Other
Laura was fantastic with my dogs. I have a stubborn jack russell and a people pleasing whippet. I have not managed to get the respect of my jack russell until Laura taught me a few tricks that worked straight away! The tips were easy, and practical.
Highly recommend Laura, and bark busters.

Kelly dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
I cannot thank Kelly enough. It has only been a few lessons and the progress has been magnificent.
Tito has been so calm that he no longer reacts to dogs or people walking past the house. I had given up that dachshunds are barking dogs but no.
He is calm enough now that I can take him to a cafe with me and relax. No more pulling on lead which was one of my main problems I had addressed at the start.
Thank you so much Kelly, I cannot wait to see how he will be in a few months time.
Trainer note from Kelly
I will admit to having a soft spot for a naughty Dachshund, LOL, and Tito was so much fun to work with! It can be so embarrassing when your dog barks at the door (and doesn't stop), and is scared of visitors, and runs the fence line like he is on speed! Today was Tito's 4th session, and WOW, what a difference - you have done a stellar job of following through with his 15mins a day of training, and I was SO PROUD of how you walked with him at heel, past other dogs, without any issues at all. Next stop, group training! It will be fun for Tito to do some more social confidence work, and with your 2 FOC sessions, he can come along when you are ready. Thank you so much for allowing me to assist, and I loved my pats and tail wags this morning, he is a darling boy :-). Well done!

Kelly dealt with Aggression, Barking, Puppy management, Recall
First day and already noticed a massive change in behaviour.
Dinner was prepared without dogs under our feet and boundaries were established. A treat in itself.
Looking forward to tomorrow’s walk with other issues to address.
Thank you Kelly for you insight, looking forward to seeing you again.
Trainer note from Kelly
What amazing dog owners you both are! Slim's level of obedience is excellent for such a young dog, but being a German Shepherd, you recognised that his fear reactivity had a chance of sending him down the wrong path. Barking at visitors, jumping up, barging doors, lunging and barking on lead at dogs - all identified as issues that needed to be corrected before he gets any bigger. Even though you are both very experienced owners, you were also able to identify what needed changing, once pointed out, and could also see how it made such a change in Slim's behavior at the very first lesson. We love a dog that recalls when told! I can't wait for lesson two, working with distractions and focusing on dog manners, so your walks are enjoyable, and positive. Great job, well done to you both!
