Kelly dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Had my first training session for myself and my 2 dogs on Saturday. Was a very detailed session and quite informative as to how to address some of the issues I am experiencing with my dogs. We then commenced with the dogs behaviours and interactions when people are at my house and I was blown away with how both of my dogs responded to Kelly. I have not seen them respond so quickly as to improving their behaviour, especially when a stranger was present. We ran through a number of lessons which I now am completing with each dog on a daily basis until our next training session. I am seeing and improvement already and this has given me the confidence that this training is going to work. It is early days, but am very happy with how this is going so far.
Trainer note from Kelly
Thanks Allana! Working with rescue dogs, especially when one is terrified, has to be done slowly, calmly and with confidence. You had your girls responding within 5mins of us stepping into the yard, which was wonderful to see. Over the course of your lessons to date, we have shown how to control unwanted barking, fence running, jumping up, door manners and overall confidence - no food, no yelling, no shock collars, just direct and clear training that is easy to implement. Park manners are our current focus, working on coordinating corrections, getting their focus and timing for back lead training to manage dog to dog issues. I can't wait for our next catch up, massive well done, they are so much more relaxed!

5 Star Rating
Where do I start well firstly a big thank you to Maureen. As soon as you walked through our front door, I felt we were onto a winner. Chloe our lovely Shih-Tzu puppy was beginning to rule the house, we were finding it hard with several problems including barking, separation, plus other issues that I had not noticed. Maureen, you were an angel. I knew before you came that part of the problem was myself which was a problem easily solved once explained in plain English. Chloe is a work in progress, but she is returning so much love to us. I’m so grateful for your help Maureen and the follow-ups you keep making I am so glad our Vets recommended you, we can have a great family relationship with our beautiful Chloe thanks to you. My experience with Bark Busters was nothing short of remarkable. As a dog owner seeking effective training methods, I turned to them, and I’m thrilled I did. Their approach is not only effective but also compassionate. Our darling little Chloe companion responded positively, and the transformation was impressive. I wholeheartedly recommend Bark Busters to anyone looking to build a stronger bond with their four-legged friend.”

Glen & Maureen dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
We were so pleased to have found Bark Busters. We were struggling with our 18 month old Sha Pei X, always pulling on lead,reactive to other dogs and people, jumping up, barking etc.
After only 3 hours with Glen we have a different dog. What a vast improvement in Max and 4 days later am able to walk him, past people and other dogs with little or no reaction. Did not think this would have been possible in this short amount of time. Highly recommended.
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
What a great boy Max is, Thank you very much.

Rik was amazing. He went through everything and listened whenever we had any questions. He explained the benefits in a very detailed way. Turbo took to the training right away!
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Paulina, Thank you for your lovely review. Turbo is a great boy, he just needed a little bit more guidance. Now you are equipped with a better understanding of how to deal with some of his behaviours, I'm sure you will start to see a more respectful and relaxed boy. He did so well during our session, I'm looking forward to our next session to see how much he has improved and how well you have applied the methods. Thank you again Kind Regards Ric

Maureen was absolutely lovely and was extremely knowledgeable on all things doggy training. We were very happy with her instructions and Ollie is already much more obedient.

Kelly dealt with Digging, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Kelly was awesome, Poppi has been so calm and is listening and that's after one lesson ,can't wait to see what happens over the next few weeks
Trainer note from Kelly
Ahhhh, the joys of an adolescent Golden Retriever! Poppi is such a sweet girl, but had certainly worked out how to push everyone's buttons and not in a good way! Gaining control over the door (to prevent rushing and racing), lead manners (pulling), obedience and barking were all covered at the first session. Your family are all on the same page, and Poppi loved the attention and boundaries provided. The shining moment for me? Watching your daughter being able to handle Poppi's lead for the first time, comfortably and without fear - absolutely perfect! Be nice and consistent and we'll work on manners in public and road safety at lesson #2 :-)

Ric was more than Amazing.
He was excellent with Saxon explained things that I understood.
His mannerism was incredible and I look forward to our next lesson.
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Cathy Thank you for this lovely review, Very much appreciated. I thoroughly enjoyed our session and I look forward to our next session. Saxon did very well, he is such a warm soul and he picked up things very quickly, but that's because you look after him so well. Thank you again. Kind Regards Ric

Jakob dealt with Barking
So far so good but it’s upto me
Trainer note from Jakob
It was a pleasure working with you Lillian and Jack as well. You seemed to have harnessed our time together in achieving our goals in a quite short amount time. Bark Busters will always be here for you. All dog packs require a leader, and that you are in your pack. And when we establish that leadership then the rest of the pack can feel secure in knowing that their leader is to be trusted, hence manifesting a sense of security around the home for both human and canine. In the end it's not really about the size of the dog but the size of the leadership on show for the dog. Thank you Lillian.
