I am so overwhelmed, with what Philip taught me. Diesel is the most hideous mutt I've ever encountered. My life for the past 14 months has been a misery, he has destroyed everything, he jumped, barked, nipped, mauled me, he would never let me pat him, any discipline I tried with him, he retaliated, neither my family or friends could stand him, including myself, I hated him, I walked him everyday, it was exhausting & frightening as he pulled the whole time & chased anything from a cat to a fly, he's ripped my clothes and left me with scratches & bruises. Philip told me, Diesel wasn't ready to leave his mum, as she didn't get the chance to teach him anything, Philip didn't ask & I didn't tell him, that Diesel was 7 weeks & 3 days old when we got him. Philip also explained why he is anxious & nervous, (by the way I didn't know he was) he said Diesel felt a need to be the leader and protect me & his turf, Diesel belonged to my son & I thought I was doing the right thing by going around & taking him for a walk each day, Philip explained to me that each time I took Diesel back to my son's, he felt I was abandoning him, (I thought he was ungrateful, needless to say Diesel has moved in with me). Well, barely 24 hrs later, after spending time with Philip, Diesel is a completely different animal, I am totally stunned, he hasn't done any of things that I've mentioned, he's enjoying the lessons, and I can see he wants me to be in control. With Philip making me understand Diesel's insecurities and showing me how to make him behave (and astonishingly Diesel enjoys behaving) Philip's instruction is worth every cent, I was sceptical and thought I was about to be ripped off, but this was Diesel's last chance, as I said, life has been miserable and I was seriously thinking having him euthanized. I feel so guilty & sad that I misread how Diesel is feeling, it took Philip to help me understand.

After our follow up visit after 2 weeks with Philip I sent in a testimonial but really I did not say enough about how much happier Dino is now that he knows he does not have to be top dog in our home. His tail is lower in a relaxed position now and his mouth is smiling all the time instead of tight. He still has the lively fun loving character that we saw in him when we rescued him at Christmas but now he has direction and looks happy. Philip guided us through toilet training, recall, pulling, barking at visitors, growling at Frank, all the things that Dino was doing to show us that he was top dog. (Such a weight on little shoulders to carry not to mention how difficult it was for us living with a small creature that just ruled the roost. We thought didn't he know that we loved him and wanted him to be a good dog.) Now that we are becoming top dog then Dino can relax and just enjoy family life with some structure. Another thing apart from teaching us to be top dog we have learned a great deal about diet requirements and general normal dog habits that can be used to your advantage such as feeding the dog on the grass instead of from the fine china bowl which is not normal for them unless of course you are going to sit them at the table with you and use grandmas silverware also. But seriously, how much fun is it for us and Dino when he munches away on a chicken wing out on the grass and then comes inside to show us that he has finished looking very pleased with himself. He almost says "thanks mum". Give Barkbusters a chance to change yours and your buddys life forever. You will both live happier lives together. I promise. Di

Philip is our hero now. We have had our 2week check up with Philip to make sure everything is going ok with our training techniques for our buddy Dino. Even though Dino had become a wonderful new little man since beginning our training with Philip, we had forgotten a few little things which were reinforced at our follow up visit. I think this follow up is very important. Thank you again Philip and Barkbusters.

Our trainer Phillip Comans was excellent. He explained everything very well and was patient with us as this was all new for us as well as for Dino. He was punctual even though he travelled to our home from a distance. He was polite and very professional and knowledgable. His instruction even though it was only our first lesson was immediately effective and the ongoing practice that we are doing each day is working very well. Dino is happy and is learning his place in our home. Thankyou Phillip

Huey is an Australian Bulldog who is very good and really no problem at home but once he is out the front of our house (even still inside our property) he is a totally different dog. He is unable to concentrate, listen to commands, jumps on people (which he generally doesn't do at home) and pulls so hard on the lead that he is almost impossible to hold onto. We took Huey to puppy and dog training classes in our local area (tried two different schools) to no avail. We needed someone in-home who could see that at home Huey was a delight but obviously suffered a form of anxiety upon leaving his domain. And that's where Peter came in. Peter was able to offer us solutions that we could do from day one and to watch Peter work with Huey was amazing. Huey is now able to leave our home more confidently although he still has times where something will spook him. He even attended a Paws In The Park day recently and was a model dog! We would have no hesitation in recommending Peter (and we do!). We also know Peter is on hand to help up in the future.

Peter was prompt, well presented, professional and friendly. He listened to our concerns and offered practical advise in easy to understand language and with demonstrations. Molly was a changed dog within hours of Peter's assistance and intervention. Molly continues to respond well to the Bark Buster methods which has made life more enjoyable for us all.

very enjoyable, easy to understand.

Excellent training. We were at a wits end and Phillip certainly helped us. We were very surprised at how quickly Cooper responded to the training. Very excited about getting our dog back on track.

Philip is an excellent trainer, his coaching is easy to follow and very effective. The method for walking Crash on the lead has been very helpful, he is a big dog that needs to be handled correctly and Philips training gave us confidence that we can take leadership and control him in public.

My house has always been tense when we have visitors because of Rajah. We had a house full of people and it was such a pleasant and relaxing night. This was on day 2 of training! I could never have imagined results so fast and so noticeable.

Thank you so much Philip!! We are thrilled with the progress lex has made already and it has only been a few days! Walking him on the lead used to be torturous and it is now an absolute joy! Can not believe the changes in our uncontrollable pup. We are so grateful for your help and look forward to our catch up!

We just had our first session/training with Philip Comans for our little adoptive rescue furbaby, Max. The initial visit and training was very eye opening and interesting (ex body language of dogs, diet, various strategies to train Max, etc). The transformation with Max is amazing. What have you done to our doggie :-)?? (good way). We were so amazed at the change in his behavior after you left. After you left, I started thinking "oh no, Philip is gone now what will we do", will Max resume his previous behavior pattern" (separation anxiety, over exuberant behavior)? He didn't head for the door as you were leaving, he didn't jump all over us like he normally does. He was calm and relaxed. My husband and I kept looking at each other in amazement (good way) because the changes occurred so quickly. We know it'll take time, patience, perseverance, and implementing the great training tools Philip provided us to help Max thrive and have a happy doggie life. Philip, is an amazing trainer and an asset to Bark Busters. He has a very outgoing, friendly, and pleasant nature and personality. He was very patient in explaining everything to us and when it took us a few minutes to get the hang of how to train Max, he didn't rush us through the process. You were attentive to our questions & when we made mistakes you kindly showed us what to do. We truly appreciate it. We definitely would recommend you as a trainer to another dog lover/owner that needs help with training his or her fur baby family member :) On behalf of my husband, me, and Max (woof woof) thank you!
