Excellent training, Emma is very knowledgeable and consistent with my dog, as a result, Beau has changed completely with in two weeks.
Trainer note from Emma
Beau is a 2 year old Jack Russell x Chihuahua, and his dad called Bark Busters for help with his severe separation anxiety, it was so bad that Beau could not be left alone at all. Along with the separation anxiety Beau was causing trouble with: 🾠Jumping up at Peter for attention. 🾠Barking at people and dogs when out on walks, passersby at home, and he would go crazy at the door knock. 🾠Pulling on the lead, Beau may be small in stature but he used to pull his dad along like a steam train. 🾠Answering the front door, Beau would rush at people at the door which resulted in his dad picking him up every time he answered the door. During our first speak dog session we worked on all of Beau's behaviour issues along with practising sit and stay, and we saw an instant transformation in his behaviour. At our follow up session 2 weeks later Beau is a completely different dog! With Peter's training and leadership, Beau can now relax and be a well mannered dog. Looking forward to seeing them at our park sessions soon. ðŸ¾ðŸ¾

The training was excellent - informative, easy to follow, hands on and with immediate results.
We feel so much more confident that we have effective strategies to teach our puppy good manners - no more treat training!
We also have a way to reduce Zorro's cat chasing - others were so negative about this possibility but Emma didn't bat an eyelid.
Zorro has responded beautifully to the training, he and we are much happier and less anxious about our life together.
Trainer note from Emma
Zorro is a 4 month old Jack Russell X who joined his family about a month ago. Along with his cat chasing, Zorro was also causing trouble with barking, jumping, pulling on the lead, chewing, digging, rushing through doors and not coming when called. His family did an awesome job during their first speak do session, and I'm looking forward to getting back to check on their progress. :)

The time flew with the quality detail and tips that Emma was able to pass on to myself which will allow me to be a better teacher to Stevie. Emma's approach is clear and precise and allows you to ask as many questions as required.
I look forward to our follow up session and the ongoing support provided, having Emma there is certainly a nice piece of mind to have...thank you Emma
Trainer note from Emma
Stevie is a gorgeous, 15 week old, female, Chocolate Labrador. During her first speak dog session we worked on walking nicely on the lead, jumping, nipping and mouthing, recall, boundary control, safety around the swimming pool & toileting. I'm looking forward to our next session, and seeing Stevie grow into a well mannered dog. Keep up the great work Pete, and I'll see you soon. 😊

We had our first speak dog session today and it went so well! The training is simple and easy to follow, and Jaxon is already responding well! We are excited to see his progression as we continue training. We have had issues with Jaxon pulling while walking amongst other things, and by the end of the session he was walking along next to us calm as you like. He was also exhausted which is great to see as it takes a lot to wear him out… thanks Emma!!
Trainer note from Emma
Jaxon is a 2.5 year old Mastiff x Red Heeler, rescue dog, who joined his family in February. Along with pulling on the lead Jaxon was causing trouble with aggressive behaviour towards some people and dogs, separation anxiety and not always coming when called. His family did a great job during their first session, and I'm sure with their commitment to training Jaxon he will come on in leaps and bounds in no time!

Emma dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
I booked in with Emma after Marlo's behaviour kept worsening. After only a few days I saw huge improvements especially while walking her on a lead. I feel like my fur baby and I are spending more quality time with each other as it's no longer spent being frustrated with pulling, jumping or barking! Definitely feeling a lot more confident as a dog owner and myself and my neighbours can sleep through a bark less night now. Thank you! And cannot wait for our next session.
Trainer note from Emma
Marlo is a 3 year old Blue Heeler who was causing trouble with her bad behaviour. During our first session, along with the barking, jumping and pulling on the lead, we worked on her behaviour around the front door, dog reactivity, not chasing scooters or bikes (or anything with wheels) and sit & stay. Her mum did an amazing job during our first session & I'm looking forward to our next appointment to see their continued improvements.

When Emma came into the house and watched the dogs in their environment, she knew exactly what issues the dogs had, even issues i didn't think they had especially Frankie.
She went through the flip chart and explained everything really well and i quickly realised that i was doing pretty much everything wrong.
Once we got into the training and started using the refocus word the dogs responded pretty much immediately. They are slowly but surely realising that we are the leaders now.
There has been a massive improvement within the first week.
I am extremely grateful for Emma's help.
Trainer note from Emma
Frankie, a 2 year old English Staffy, and Rosie, a 4 year old Kelpie x Rottweiler, were not getting along. Frankie was being aggressive towards Rosie when the family was around. They would both bark at EVERYTHING, jump on everyone, pull on their leads, and not come when called. They also wouldn't always sit or stay when told, would steal things from the bin, and sometimes they would also dig & chew things up. By the end of their first speak dog session we saw huge improvements in both dogs! Their family still have a way to go, but with Bark Busters life of the dog support they are certainly on their way to calm, relaxed, obedient dogs.

Emma dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Emma was very thorough and knowledgeable. She provided all support equipment and could answer any questions we had. She gave us some great tips regarding Aggys diet and helped us understand why his behaviour may have changed. She explained and showed all the training exercises really well. I have already recommended her to my neighbours.
Trainer note from Emma
Agro (or Aggy as he is more affectionately known) is a 4 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback x Mastiff. Aggy's family called Bark Busters for help after he attacked another dog. He was also causing trouble with: - barking - jumping - pulling on the lead - not coming when called - over excited behaviour - very easily distracted They all did a fantastic job during their first speak dog session and Aggy was a very tired boy by the end of the session. Keep up the great work guys.

Lovely lady who obviously knows her job. Clear instructions, great demonstrations. Noddy and his owner's benefited from the new regime.
Trainer note from Emma
Noddy is a 4 year old Jack Russell x Fox Terrier. When his mum called Bark Busters for help she described him as an ESCAPOLOGIST! Along with the escaping, Noddy was also causing trouble with barking, jumping, dog reactivity, not coming when called & hyperactive behaviour. Noddy's family did a great job during their first speak dog session. Looking forward to our next visit.

I'm very pleases with the training that I and Monty have received so far. Even now, i can already see a bit of a change in Monty.
Trainer note from Emma
Monty is a 14 month old Red Heeler, who has unfortunately been the victim of a few dogs attacks, causing him to be reactive towards other dogs. His mum called Bark Busters for help. During our first session we worked on his behaviour around the house, walking nicely on the lead, and getting his focus whilst passing other dogs. Monty still has a way to go, but with their training plan in place he will continue to improve. Looking forward to our next session, and doing more work with Monty around other dogs.

After just one session with Emma I learnt how to reestablish myself as the leader of the pack and how to engage Milo so she listens to me, well most of the time! I contacted Emma as I was struggling with Milo not getting along with the family cats, barking, not coming when called, jumping and doing things on her terms. After our first session I have seen a change in Milo, she is less anxious and is engaging with me more making it easier for me to stop her when barking. We still have some work to do, well more me trying to find my inner toughness so she can see me as the boss!!
Thanks Emma for being patient, knowledgeable, supportive and a pleasure to work with.
Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Nicola, you are doing really well at becoming a leader for Milo, the gorgeous 2½ year old American Staffy X, so that she can take a step back & relax.

Emma was very helpful, easy to get along with and very good at being a trainer.
Trainer note from Emma
Roxy is a 10 week old Blue Staffy who's into the usual puppy mischief of barking, jumping and biting. Her family also needed help with toilet training, and Roxy had shown a bit of aggression too. Her family did a great job during their first speak dog session, and I'm looking forward to seeing them all again soon. :)
