I feel the training was very informative and easy to follow and stick to.
Trainer note from Kye & Todd

Kye & Todd dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Other
The training was simple and easy to follow (although I struggled a little with my coordination with the walking session). None of the actions /verbal commands used were threatening as demonstrated by my pup's relaxed responses. Muffie responded both very well and very quickly to the trainer's commands. Philip was also very patient and non-critical in his teaching approach with me. Will definitely be adhering to the daily training requirements prior to his next visit. Muffie actually appeared to enjoy it.
Trainer note from Kye & Todd
Muffie is a gorgeous 1 year old Jack Russell x Pug (a Jug!) and cute as a boot! Her big issues were barking at night and sleeping on the bed, uninvited. Her owner is a retired person and loves her to bits. Both human and Jug did super well. I’ll be back to assist further. Well done so far!

Kye & Todd dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Recall
Within only the first few minutes could already see a big difference in the training and behavioural processes. Philip is very knowledgable and very patient. Taught us many great skills to practice and put us control of our little ones. Recommended.
Trainer note from Kye & Todd
Goblin & Gremlin are about a year old, sibling brothers and Chihauhuas. Goblin was aggressive to strangers and had nipped some. Both barked and a neighbour had complained. We say that they can be good little guys and they learned to stay away from the front door when a new person arrives. Their parents couldn't believe how quickly they responded and calmed down once the Bark Busters' techniques were used upon my arrival. There's some simple homework to practice and I'll be back when their humans need me!

Kye & Todd dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Other
Great training really learnt a lot in regards to us having problems with barging through doors and barking. Philip was very patient with us and Buddy.
Trainer note from Kye & Todd
Buddy is a big boy at about 45 kg! Almost 2 years old Labradoodle male. Used to ruling his home he was pushing past at doors and almost knocking over the elderly Dad. He also slept on their bed despite them wanting him to sleep on the floor. The Bark Busters techniques helped immediately with his door barging and sleeping on the bed is now a thing of the past. Following lessons will work more on walking without pulling. He’s done really well so far!

Kye & Todd dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Sibling rivalry
This was amazing. The techniques make so much sense, are relatively straight forward to practice and so, so effective. Poppy is so much calmer, happier and quieter!
Trainer note from Kye & Todd
Cavoodle Poppy is about 2 years and was barking heaps especially since her family moved here from NZ. Her humans also embarked upon a big home renovation and with all the disruption Poppy’s barking got worse. Now the Council are involved with a warning letter received. At our first lesson Poppy showed her true nature (sweet and soft) and techniques were learnt to correct her barking. She responded perfectly. Her humans need to do a little 15-20 minutes of daily practice to settle her into her Bark Busters’ routine. Easy!

Philip helped us to overcome the aggression, barking, and walking problems with Lexi in an easy and effective way. Thanks!
Trainer note from Kye & Todd
Lexi is a 2 year old (young!) German Shepherd desexed male. He is a large dog and very powerful. His aggressive outbursts towards other dogs were confronting and he had had training from other local dog trainers which has not helped the issue improve. We saw improvement with the Bark Buster' methods. His humans need to remain consistent with Lexi and this issue is not resolved yet. But we saw improvement and certainly his walking without pulling has been vastly improved. His reaction to other dogs is still there but his humans know how to deal with this and have seen improvement even with this difficult and strong boy. Keep up the daily training and call me when you need further help! Our Lifetime Support Guarantee is for dogs like Lexi who might need more help than most.

Philip provided excellent instruction, assistance in the lesson and training of Beau. You can see instant results and improvement in Beau's behaviour. Highly recommended.
Trainer note from Kye & Todd
Beau is a gorgeous 7 month male Pomeranian pup and the apple of his owners eye. But he had a dangerous behaviour. Rushing out the front door and OFF down the busy street to adventures. So in lesson one we taught him that humans go through doors first. He must wait patiently until invited through. His humans loved learning and Beau did brilliantly too!

Tilly is an 18 month old rescue golden retriever who had problems with barking, not being able to walk on a lead and thinking she ruled the roost. We were struggling to gain control and settle her in to our family. After one lesson with Philip we are already seeing a big improvement in control on the lead, coming when called, and basic obedience. The training was easy to follow and we received lots of great helpful info. We’d highly recommend Bark Busters. Thank you Philip!
Trainer note from Kye & Todd
That's a really great review thanks Kate! Tilly is a lovely girl and will make a wonderful pet for you both. She will settle in well over the coming weeks. Well done today yourself!

Positive experience all round. Philip is a great trainer and the teaching technique really works. We noticed a difference in Sox's behaviour by the end of our first session.
Trainer note from Kye & Todd
Thanks for the kind words Leanne! Sox (a male 21 month old American Staffy) was a bit of a handful for you with his over-exuberance and dog reactivity (aggression). He did respond really well during our first lesson and I'm sure he will improve in all areas. You've got some practice to do over the coming week and then a call to me for a further lesson if needed. But as with all my clients you have Lifetime Support Guaranteed so if we need further lessons they are all FREE! Keep up the exercises and see you soon!

Kye & Todd dealt with Jumping up, Puppy management
The training was great. Very helpful, clear, concise and great friendly knowledgeable service.
Trainer note from Kye & Todd
Thanks Hayley! This lesson was a real treat for me! 2 gorgeous puppies!ðŸ¶ðŸ¶ Buster a male Blue Cattle Dog and Borris an English Bulldog! ðŸ¶ðŸ¶. Just 11-12 weeks Old each and so great! We ran through how to communicate with them in “canine†just using our voice and body language. We introduced them to their leads and showed how to show them polite manners (no jumping on us or mouthing/nipping). We worked on Recall (come!) and spoke about sleeping arrangements. After a full 3 hours I had passed on so much knowledge and had seen terrific responses from the young pups. I’ll visit again when their mum and dad request me to.

Upfront and really understanding in what was being told to us.
Trainer note from Kye & Todd
This was a special lesson! Thor is a deaf, male 10 month old American Staffy. And his housemate is Zena, a 4 year old female English Staffy. His humans needed help to communicate with Thor. So he would come when called, listen, and not jump all over them. He also had a chewing problem (NBN cables etc!) They are preparing to move to a brand new home next year and definitely want to have better behaved dogs by then! We saw Thor starting to calm down and come when summoned, and Zena showed what a great girl she was too. There had been a few fights between the 2 dogs and Mum and Dad learnt why this was occurring and were shown simple effective ways to stop this behaviour by nipping it in the bud, as it were. A great lesson for everyone. Thank you for allowing me and Bark Busters to work with your great and much loved dogs.

If I had known how easy training our dog was, I would have called Bark Busters earlier. The techniques used are amazing and they work! I would highly recommend using Bark Busters for any behavioural issues your dog may have. They have helped us with our dog so much and we couldn’t be happier!
Trainer note from Kye & Todd
Disco is a 2.5 year old Labradoodle male and a really great dog to train. He was, however, causing lots of stress to his owners by barking at the neighbours. He also pulled on his lead a lot and didn’t listen to his Mum. Well, he showed just how clever he is today. He did super well at all his lessons and his humans saw a different dog. We went over the strategies to correct barking and with a little regular practice he’ll be quiet at home. Well done everyone today!
