25th September 2017 - Todd Morris
Todd dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling
Very happy with Philip would highly recommend him.
Trainer note from Todd
Thank you Gai for the vote of confidence. Dezzie is a 9 month young female German Shepherd and she had lunged at and bitten a stranger when out on the lead. She was also becoming more and more aggressive to other dogs on walks. She also barked a lot at any guests coming to the house. We learnt about why she was like this today and set up training to teach Dezzie that she doesn't need to protect her family. It's just not her job any more! She responded very well to our exercises today and her owners, Gai and her son Shane, said she was walking on a loose lead better than she ever had before. I'll be back in a 2 weeks to continue the training. Well done to you all!

Paul dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
I was nervous about the training as I didn't think Bruno could get help, I have done other training with him and nothing seemed to work. But Paul was fantastic and the way he talked us through what to do was extremely helpful! The way they train is simple and easy to understand. I would definitely recommend him to anyone having dog issues!!

Graeme was great, he really understands dog behaviour and was excellent in transferring his knowledge to us, to give us the tools to improve Odin's behaviour.
We saw results after the first training session, and continued improvements following the training plan that Graeme gave us.
The training sessions were really efftive in kickstarting the learning proccess for Odin. Graeme payed us multiple follow up visits to check on our training progress and work with Odin on different behaviours.
Weve had comments from family on friends on the difference in Odins behaviour since this training. We are really happy with the outcome.
Trainer note from Head Office
Odin really thrived on the leadership given.

25th September 2017 - Ken Tran
Ken dealt with Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry
Shadow is a 4 year old rescue dog who obviously hadnt been trained. Ken showed me how to teach her "sit" and other commands. She has responded really well which I am extremely happy about. He is firm and gentle with her and is teaching me how to control her. I am walking her now and she is getting to know that I am the leader of the pack. Ken is a very good teacher to me and Shadow and really knows how to handle dogs. I am very happy with his training methods . I would not hesitate to recommend Ken to anyone who needs dog training.
24th September 2017 - Kelly McClelland
Kelly dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Toileting
Our Minature Wirehair dachshund Moki was a bit of a terror and we were at our wits end.
We then contacted Kelly, well what can I say.
After the first 2 hours Moki was a different dog very obedient, stopped barking and now is well behaved.
I would recommend any one who has a problem with their furry pal to contact Kelly at Bark Busters she is brilliant.
Trainer note from Kelly
I had goosebumps at this 2nd lesson! What a different dog greeted me - no barking, no growling, no snapping and no fear reactivity. Instead he sat calmly whilst his gorgeous owners opened the door and welcomed me in. Moki, you and your parents are stars, thank you for all your efforts!!!

21st September 2017 - Catharina Jeffery
Catharina dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry
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.

Catharina dealt with Aggression, Pulling, Recall
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.
Trainer note from Catharina
Kimba is a lovely young Sharpei. She thrived on calm patient guidance and really wanted to please!

21st September 2017 - Catharina Jeffery
Catharina dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
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.
Trainer note from Catharina
It was a great first session with Hiccup and Mia. We started with a few of the main issues like barking, jumping and door manners. I look forward to our next session and building on what you have already achieved :)

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.
Trainer note from Head Office
So very pleased to have helped you. It is wonderful to hear how well you are going and I am always here for you!

Peter dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Other
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.
Trainer note from Peter
Thank you Sue, Sophie now has a great home after coming form bad circumstances. A soft natured very happy little Staffy. With your commitment and the Bark Busters techniques you can now have a lovely new dog and Sophie a new great home. Thank you for saving Sophie from the pound.
