Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Jinty was a rescue dog and had very little training. When Catharina first came she/we established some rules around walking on leash and aggression towards other dogs. Over the past 12 months, Jinty has been great, but all training requires constant input from the owner and unfortunately I got a little slack. One contact with Catharina and she was back to refresh Jinty and I. Catharina is great, understands animals, and just as importantly humans!! I would recommend Catharina and the Bark Busters method of training to anyone.

Cat has got my dog and l speaking the same language. Walking is now relaxing. Kimba has stopped pulling. The harness works better than a choker with no stress on the neck. Kimba was a difficult dog at obedience classes but is now calm and focused. Dog training has become enjoyable. Thanks Cat.

I was at my wits end, I thought we would need to lose one if not both dogs. I thought one was completely un-trainable. I had tried a number of different methods and asked advice, nothing worked. Within the first 1/2 hour, Cat had my dog doing things that I had been unable to achieve for over a year. It all made sense, what I had to do and how to achieve it. I feel supported as I can call any time if I have an issue and don't know what to do. The children and a friend even noticed from day one how they have both changed and how much more relaxed naughty dog number 1 is.

Training was great, I didn't realise that it would be soo simple. We have seen a change in our dogs behaviour already in the short time.

Faith was excellent in showing and explaining training techniques. I have been shown how to 'control' Loui and this is going to make our lives together pleasant. I had thought "Ha, ha. I'd like to see this, he won't respond". HE DID! Just amazing, I really did not believe it. I have told a friend to contact already. Faith listened to me. I explained dogs history. She was excellent in helping me and WELL wonderful.

I didn't know what to expect but peter was amazing with Sophie. Sophie is a 3yr old Staffy x rescue dog and has been with me for 2wks and her behaviours became apparent as she settled here. She has a beautiful nature but was very boisterous and liked to jump,I have a 4 and 8 yr old grandsons and she frequently knocked them over. After 1 afternoon with Peter she is just the most beautiful relaxed caring dog.

We have a very scared and anxious 11 month old GSD who we adopted at 6 and 1/2 months. She is very flighty especially with men but within 5 minutes of Hugh's arrival, his calm, confident and assertive presence had Lola calm and inquisitive. We have received advice from other animal behaviourists who told us medication and patience was our only option for our anxious dog but Hugh showed us she only needed direction, challenges, obedience and lots of praise. By the end of that first session, she was listening to our voices and sitting next to us waiting for her next instruction. It has now been 4 days since we met with Hugh and we have a different dog (and different owners!). She's still our little princess but she's obedient and focused and we will be looking into weaning her off her anxiety medication. The bonus with Bark Busters is the lifetime care and assistance they provide if we ever need it. In saying that, we would highly recommend Hugh to anyone who will listen! 5 stars for Hugh!

Excellent we can already see improvement in his behaviour.

Two weeks after our Italian Greyhound Frankie's first lesson, she has greatly improved! The techniques that Philip taught us (which are gentle and simple!) have really helped Frankie to become a much calmer dog. Her barking has become an almost non-issue and her toilet habits have transformed. The training is simple and easy to stick to - which makes it easy for the dogs and humans involved.

We had constant issues with our boy lunging at cars and people when going for a walk. It got to a point where we could only take him for 10min walks. We contacted Grace and the second she set foot on our property, her training methods were put on display and I was amazed at how quickly it was working. We've had Grace back a couple of times to focus on the walks with our boy and with us continuing the training using her methods, I'm seeing a completely different boy to what we had before Grace arrived. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Grace. You can tell there is a genuine care and she has your best interest at heart. Thank you!

We were very pleased with Hugh. He turned up right on time, was thorough, professional, caring and affectionate with Ellie and we seemed to get results right from the first session.

Hugh was really helpful and informative. He told us so much in the time he was with us. Everything was making sense and was explained so we could easily understand and make sense of what we were being told. We are really looking forward to trying everything out..
