Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Omg!!! Heather, you are amazing!! We were beginning to think that Miss Billie was destined to be the naughtiest dog in the South.. But... With your expertise, straight forward teaching and no nonsense attitude, we were amazed to see the difference in her, in the first hour! Absolutely love your work, will be referring you to anyone and everyone that asks!!! We will be your best students, I promise!!

Hugh was fantastic with the whole family and our new puppy. My eight year old son was included and engaged. Hugh went through everything we needed to hear clearly and without us having to ask too many questions. The way to communicate with Bonnie was very clear and she understood exactly what we were asking her to do.

Angela was amazing. First lesson and already great results.Bella will be a brand new dog before we know it. Thank you Angela our puppies thank you to.

Peter came to help us with our hyperactive and bossy boy Alfie! Alfie would bark a lot, demanding to come inside as soon as we got home, jumping all over the couches and visitors! Sometimes even jumping all over us whilst eating and stealing our food-surprisingly agile for a little Shih Tzu X ! On our visit Peter started our education about how dogs behave and think, allowing us to see into Alfie's world and how he saw us - At the bottom of the pack! Peter explained to us how to retake the top position and how to tell Alfie when he behaved inappropriately! Thanks to Peter we're taking back control- Alfie is already calmer and respecting us and our space, less barking is the best part! We still have a way to go with our homework as it has only been a few days, but we know we can do it and stay committed! Thanks to Peter and Bark Busters our life is being dictated by us again and not Alfie!

Continual barking but through great advice & follow up, issues were resolved.

I extremely impressed with the professional and knowledgeable service provided by Hugh. He provided us with clear instructions, demonstration and practice of the techniques required to help us with our dog Ozzie. Hugh engaged with the whole family to make training our dog a team effort. By the time Hugh left Ozzie was walking well on the lead and was responding to commands. What makes this service stand out from others is the commitment for life long assistance and support when ever needed.

Heather was very friendly and professional and gave us excellent advice for our new puppy. Myself and Cobee are looking forward to her next visit.

We were visiting my sister in Shelley WA (6148) from Leonora in the Northern Goldfields. We were concerned about Jasmine who is a mixed breed (Kelpie) rescue from SAFE Kalgoorlie, about 21 months old. We adopted her when she was five months old. She had been exhibiting what we described as fear aggression, and being very territorial at home when people came to the gate. She would growl and bark, and also exhibited some signs of separation anxiety when my partner or I left the house. Hugh was not condescending with his delivery of information and techniques, he listened to us, guided us and provided instructions in practical, usable and appropriate terms - in a way we've been able to incorporate easily into our routines. Jasmine was much improved by the end of the session. The following day a knock at the door was responded to very well when we followed the guidelines provided to us (the same as during practice). Other groups we contacted before we found Bark Busters were quick to recommend drugs for Jasmine when we described her behaviour. We believed that this should be the last thing to talk about, not the first. Hugh gave Jasmine every chance to prove she really doesn't need drugs to modify her behaviour - which is exactly what we were looking for, the chance to correct her problem behaviour rather than just covering it up. The time with Hugh was very interesting and enjoyable, Jasmine is thriving with the mental challenges and stimulation. Still got some work to do, but it's great to see her really trying and rising to the challenge. It was particularly nice not to be treated with a one size fits all approach. Has was given the change to work on her problem behaviour in a manner that worked for all of us. Even though we live so remote, we still believe we have achieved great value for money for the support available thus far.

Had Neil come and help me with a problem Husky - no problems anymore. First class trainer with a great understanding of dogs. I would highly recommend him.

There is so much that me and my partner didn't know about training to disobedient dogs. The first lesson brought out behaviours and obedience in my dogs that I didn't think were possible. It now requires very little maintenance to keep two well behaved dogs in check.

Martin was remarkable at showing us how to train easily and without stress.

Tank is a very aggressive dog and when Philip came to the door as he does with most visitors Tank was ready to rip his throat out. He would bark at any person or anything that went up our street he hated the post lady. When Philip left he was a changed dog and that was only after 3hrs. So hopefully continuing on with the program it will help him no end. Laila was the stubborn one but she was soon following the program as well she didn't have the same issues Tank did but her barking was very annoying. So when Philip left it was a nice quiet house. Don't get me wrong we still have some small problems but I am sure it will be worth it to have happy,quiet loving dogs all thanks to BARKBUSTERS!!!!!!!!
