Ric dealt with Barking, Chewing, Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety, Other
Ric is an outstanding trainer. In one session he completely transformed how our dog behaves on the lead, at the door, and around the house. He explains the psychology behind every step, gives clear instructions, and pushes you just enough to actually learn the technique properly. Our dog was calmer, more focused, and more relaxed than we’ve ever seen him. Ric’s approach is practical, fair, and genuinely effective. Highly recommend to anyone wanting real results and a trainer who truly knows his craft.
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Ayden, Thank you for this awesome Review. We had a great first session. You and your little boy did so well. With our system and your guidance he will develop into an amazing dog, he already is so smart and has a great temperament. Looking forward to our next session, see you all soon. Thank you Kind Regards Ric

Emma dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Recall
Emma was amazing. She has helped me change my two dogs from believing they needed to protect me by barking at everything and everyone who passed my property, to two chilled dogs. I know they are still a work in progress but I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. Simply changes in my behaviour which Emma explained so well gives me the tools to give my dogs a better quality of life.
Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Pauline, It was lovely to meet you and your 2 gorgeous dogs, Sam & Macy. As I mentioned to you, I knew from when we very first spoke that you would be a great leader for your dogs, and with the missing links to your training now filled in, you can all enjoy a more peaceful & relaxed life.

Kelly dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling
Kelly was amazing. She has shared information I have never heard before. Her way of training works. Day 2 and Vodkha already listens to my command. I can already see Vodkha following through.
Trainer note from Kelly
Thanks Nina! Your Frenchie, Vodkha, is just gorgeous, however I could certainly see how his irrational reactivity was causing you so much stress. When a dog is attacked (both by dogs, and in an undesirable human way), their confidence can shatter, and I am so grateful that you chose training, over anything else! We focused on correcting his aggression before he actually lunged, called scene setting, and by the end he was more focused on you than me, which was amazing. We worked on his lead training for pulling, his recall, and his door manners. Be nice and consistent, and I'll see you for lesson 2 very soon! Well done!

Kye is a good teacher who was patient and thoughtful in his approach. The strategies we learned have been very helpful so far. We have felt empowered and optimistic about our abilities to continue training the dogs.

Callum dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall, Other
We are only two sessions in and we’ve already seen a huge improvement in Butter’s behaviour particularly around lead pulling. Understanding dog behaviour instead using treats has been a game changer. I highly recommend Callum’s service.

Glen from Bark Busters has changed our home life in less than a week! In 2 hours he explained the family dynamics of our life with our French Bulldog, Boo, and trained us how to train him. Glen has turned us from a family that was constantly in conflict in how to live with our furry family member, to everyone on the same page, especially our boy Boo! Before Glen, I had a love/hate relationship with our dog, believing he was badly behaved, constantly attacking me, and causing regular arguements with my wife. Glen explained dog behaviour, dominant/subservient signals, and a clear and detailed path to train our Boo in such a simple ,easy to understand way that sends clear directions to our dog. After using the Bark Busters principles for less than a week since Glen saw us, we have a new lease on life with our Boo. He is a responsive, well behaved dog who gets given clear signals from all his family. We have never gotten along better!
Many thanks to Glen and Bark Busters for opening the door to a new harmonious family life with our dog!

From first contact to our first session with Richard Kennedy, it was very comforting to have such empathy and understanding. Can't believe the transformation already after the first session. It's like our Tessa was waiting for us to step up. I was crying after following our trainer's directions and seeing our girl respond like she knew what she had to do. Bloody wish we had done this sooner🙏🏽🐾❤️

Ric came and saved our family. We were at our wits end, but after just 1 session with Ric, our German Shepherd did a complete 180. We have been doing our set training each day and our dog has shown a massive improvement. Thank you Ric!
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Tamara, I knew he would make a huge change he is an amazing boy, he was frustrated and in need of the right communication. Often our dogs are misunderstood and when they achieve and become heard they can instantly change for the better. I'm wrapped you are having great results. Thank you for your review. Kindest Regards Ric
