Head Office dealt with Barking
training was amazing, it didn't take much more than 30mins to put the dogs at ease. More importantly Faith was able to pt myself and mother at ease, Faith is a true Dog whisperer. I was a little sceptical and worried about value for money, but honestly it was worth every cent. xxx

The training was easy to understand, and I saw noticeable results by the end of the session. The techniques are simple & I enjoyed the training experience. Definitely will be recommending to neighbours & friends.
Trainer note from Emma
Thanks James. Big boy Zion is a 4 year old Labrador x Mastiff, who before our first session definitely thought he was boss at home. He would jump whenever he got the opportunity, barked, pulled on the lead & always walked ahead. He would rush through doorways & chew things up if he was left alone for too long. But the biggest issue for his dad was his aggression towards dogs & also some people when they were out walking. His dad did a great job during their first session and we saw big improvements in Zion's behaviour straight away. With consistent training Zion will continue to go from strength to strength.

Emma was very efficient and informative. It was great to refresh the information from years ago. The change that we have noticed in Maia is unbelievable. She has responded to the training really well. We are very happy.

Thanks Eve. Beautiful, 18 month old American Staffy, Maia was causing a fair bit of trouble for her family, so having used Bark Busters for a previous dog they called us again to help with Maia's mischief. When I first met Maia she was like a pocket rocket, jumping and flinging herself all over the place, what a difference by the end of that first session. During the first session we covered: Barking Jumping Destructive Behaviour Attention Seeking Walking on the lead Separation Anxiety Visitors arriving Stealing things from benches / buffets Her family did an awesome job & I can't wait to get back and see the continued improvements in Maia.

Emma was fantastic and thorough. If there is an issue it would be with me and not with her. She's brilliant and I highly recommend.

Thanks Lisa. :) Bundy & Lola, are brother & sister from the same litter, 1 year old Maltese x Shih Tzu x Cavalier. These pair had been up to no good for a while, and time had come for their mum to get some help, so she called #barkbusters During their first #speakdog session we addressed: ? barking ? jumping ? walking on the lead ? stealing from the table / bench ? behaviour around doorways ? scratching at doors & walls ? answering the front door ? digging & chewing ? toileting inside Their mum did a great job during their first session & with their training plan now in place they will continue to go from strength to strength. Looking forward to checking in on progress soon. ?

Faith is a beautiful, calm human being and the session with her made me feel anything positive could happen with my little stressed dog. Faith leaves you with a huge feeling of achievement. I am and 3rd member of my family to use Faith.

Kelly dealt with Sibling rivalry
Kelly was fantastic. Just moved house and Charlie developed severe separation anxiety. I couldn't even talk on the phone without him becoming anxious and barking, he wouldn't stay outside.
After 1 visit by Kelly, I was given some great training tips for ME. It began to work straight away. A month down the track and 20mins a day training, he's like a new dog.. I am no longer stressed!!
Trainer note from Kelly
Charlie is such a lucky Labrador! He was rehomed with a wonderful owner, and you have done an amazing job with him - at our second lesson today I didn't need earmuffs (LOL!), and his relaxed demeanour, and wonderful wagging tail were fantastic to see. Good to see evidence that more mature dogs can definitely be trained! Great work!

Michelle dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Recall, Sibling rivalry
Great information provided that made sense as to how and why these techniques are being used in the training. I have already seen some improvements in the dog's behaviours which makes us happy and makes the dogs happy too. Tiring but it is enjoyable training the dogs and spending time with them more.
Trainer note from Michelle
Thanks for your kind review; I always love meeting families that are committed to their dogs the way you and your family are. I am certain that your little Dachshund and Staffie are going to stop their destructive behaviour, listen when called and generally do very well with the training. I will keep working with you to stop Tofu jumping up and mouthing your guests and definitely get results on Dumplings focus skills.

Kath dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall, Other
It was a surprise to see our dog doing what he was told to do. We learnt so much and so happy with what has been provided. It was like a light bulb moment. What a great service and Kath was very good. Full of information. We have a two year old Maltese/Shitzu cross who because of some early medical issues was what we thought impossible to train, in particular his barking. Well how wrong were we. Along came Kath from Bark busters who spent several hours educating us on the reason Oscar was so mischievous. There has been a remarkable change in him. Kath we can't thank you enough. I commented to the family the night before with some scepticism 'how will she do it' well Kath taught US how to do it. If you have a problem dog then do not hesitate to give Kath a call, she's bloody awesome!
Trainer note from Kath
Thank-you kindly - it's so great to see and hear how effective the training has been to settle Oscar down and stop the constant barking at everyone and everything. I think I did actually see three lightbulbs go off and they are now connected to each other! Fantastic work from you all and your commitment to Oscar, don't forget to get in touch if you want a revisit at any time :)

Excellent! Kath went through everything step by step and showed me how to work with both dogs personalities. One is a neo mastiff who is soft and the other is a kelpie who is easily distracted.
Trainer note from Kath
Thankyou Cassie! It's definitely a great system which can be varied for each dog's individual needs and you have already gotten positive results on day one! Jumping up and listening solved, both dogs are focusing on you and the pulling will soon be a thing of the past using the techniques you learnt. Looking forward to continuing to help as we work towards resovling the sibling rivalry issues.

Ken dealt with Digging, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall, Sibling rivalry
Ken has been a great trainer in the 4 sessions I have had with him so far. I have a stubborn breed dog and Ken has the perfect style of balanced training that my dog responds really well to. Half of the training is for the owner and Ken has been clear and consistent in his tips for me. I have a long way to go but I'm sure with Ken's persistent training techniques my dog will be a well behaved dog!
