Kath dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry
Kath was very knowledgeable and able to answer any questions that I had. She was also calm, confident and patient. The session put my mind at ease that I could rebuild my families relationship with our dogs and we may soon be able to all go out together happily, and safely.
Trainer note from Kath
Very enjoyable lesson with a beautiful cocker spaniel and adorable maltese/shitzu! Both responded so well to you and the issues with jumping up, pulling on lead with aggression to other dogs and separation will soon be a thing of the past. Keep up the good work and looking forward to helping with their progress!

We found the training to be excellent and informative
Trainer note from Todd
Thanks for the kind words Anne & Ron. Peanut is a 1 year old male Toy Poodle who had separation anxiety so bad he could make himself sick. He also barked a lot. Touring Australia in their camper van with Peanut was a real issue as they couldn't ever leave him alone. For the first time ever, today, he was quiet when left alone in another room and out of sight of his loving humans. Miraculous. He also learnt not to jump up in people or nip at them. He did fantastically! Well done cute little Peanutâ¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸

We recently welcomed a 2 yr Border Collie into our home. We knew he had some issues, mainly separation anxiety The 2nd week of being home (he destroyed the shutters and outdoor doors), we called Bark Busters. Cat was amazing and after 3 hours, you could see the difference in him. Within 48 hrs walking was a pleasure and the other issues also subsiding. The separation will be with him for a while yet I imagine but we are working with this and he doesn't seem too be as stressed, not barking and is settling nicely. Very impressed with him as its only been 2 weeks since Cat and Sue came to the rescue.
Can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you!
Trainer note from Catharina
It was lovely to meet you and the family! Pancho has landed in a wonderful home, and I am sure his improvements will continue. He is a nervous, and at times, stressed boy who needs patience and guidance, and I feel you have been able to give him that through the training. I look forward to seeing your progress at our next lesson :)

Catharina dealt with Barking, Chewing, Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety, Sibling rivalry
The training was very clear, a lot to explain with two bouncy, fussy and extremely attention seeking Jack Russells. The whole experience was calm, not only for the dogs but for us as owners too.
And a week later we have two very different dogs. Calm, not jumping at us or anybody that visits. I can open the front door without them want to dash out. And best of all - we can walk them without it being a stressful event, no pulling my arms. Thank you Cat, I honestly didn’t think anything or anybody would be able to help us with our beautiful boys. They are so much more of a pleasure to be with.
Trainer note from Catharina
Odin and Moses are two beautiful Jack Russell brothers. They are a year old and come packed with that typical JR energy! We addressed barking at visitors, jumping, pulling on the lead, rough play between each other and demanding of attention. It was lovely to see them respond so well on the day! I am looking forward to our next lesson, thank you Louisa for taking the time to write a review :)

Glen & Maureen dealt with Jumping up, Pulling
I had been to training sessions before, but the results weren't long lasting, and the use of treats just wasn't working, so I was a bit hesitant, but was amazed by the results. The background information was invaluable, and a must for an owner to understand their dog's behaviour. I'm so glad that this was covered before starting the training, as it made so much more sense seeing it in action. I was a bit worried that Penny would be scared of me after using the training techniques, but seeing the way she looked up at Glen after put all my fears to rest.
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
I'm so pleased she is responding so well, keep up the good work.

Todd dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling, Recall
The training and Phil was very professional and methodical. Phil was inclusive of the entire family and we are looking forward to practicing the techniques.
Trainer note from Todd
Neamsy is a sweet 1 year old Lahso Apso cross Maltese female. She is so cute! However she disturbed her human at home with barking. She also pulled towards other dogs aggressively on walks. We started today with teaching her to love and respect her humans and feel safer. She responded very well. With consistency and patience I'm 100% confident Neamsy will improve in all areas. She did fantastically today at lesson number 1.ðŸ˜â¤ï¸

Philip was extremely informative regarding the training of Bella...unfortunately it was drizzling with rain when it came time to do the leash training but that did not deter Philip, he still went ahead and completed the training...will recommend Bark Busters to others who have unruly dogs...
Trainer note from Todd
Haha rain will not deter Bark Busters! Bella is a lovely 6 month old Border Collie. She has a nervous disposition and serious separation anxiety if left at home. Her humans were captive to this as they couldn't ever leave her alone. She also was a nervous wreck at the vet and behaved badly there. She was very dog reactive when out on walks. It will take patience to overcome all these serious issues with Bella but she made the first excellent steps in her training today. Well done Bella!

My training with Emma was wonderful. Within a couple of days I have noticed a massive difference in Frankie's behaviour and have been really surprised with how quickly she has responded to all the small changes Emma has given us in the way we communicate with each other. I am already looking forward to being able to take my dog out and about again without feeling anxious about her behaviour.
Trainer note from Emma
Gorgeous Frankie, the 4 year old Cattle dog X, had a list of bad habits including: - Barking - Jumping - Pulling on the lead - Dog reactivity - Not coming when called - Not giving toys - Digging - Separation Anxiety Frankie's mum did an awesome job during their first speak dog session and we saw immediate improvements in Frankie's behaviour. With her mum's consistent leadership Frankie will be able to relax and become a much calmer dog. Looking to checking up on progress soon. :)

Ken dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up
We are really satisfied with Ken and Bark Busters system. It's honestly been a game changer now after 2 sessions Waddy is a eager student wanting to learn new discipline skills. Was before was the scary lift ride from level 4 to ground with many unknown variables that could arise which would aggravate watego. Now we have been enjoying training lift runs up and down confident with strangers coming in and out of the lift.

Todd dealt with Jumping up, Separation anxiety, Sibling rivalry
The complete layout of the lesson and practical was well, rather eye opening to the understanding for the animal kingdom on how dogs need to be shown who is in charge and Philip demonstrates that really well. But it only works if the family members/humans continue with the training. Philip was really well in executing the practical with near instant results. Our family took on this style with both hands and seeing the benefits a few hours after Philip left.
Trainer note from Todd
Thanks for the great comments! I worked with 3 dogs to deal with sibling rivalry that arose when Hulk, their 15 month old rescue male French Mastiff arrived a week ago. Their existing 9 year old intact male Rottweiler Konan and their 12 year old desexed male Dachshund Sizzle didn't like this at all and there was aggressive behaviour, barking and total stress immediately. By the end of our lesson we were able to pass by Hulk with the older dogs with no reactions at all. We also learnt to help Sizzle be calmer when not with Konan as he suffered separation anxiety badly. We also dealt with Hulk jumping on us and pulling on his lead. Everyone did brilliantly! Mum, Dad, 2 daughters. Two sons were not there and will be shown by the rest of their family how to "speak dog"! Well done guys!
