Callum taught me a lot in the first lesson and Hank showed immediate response in Callum’s training techniques. Looking forward to continuing the training to improve Hanks behaviour and my communication.
Trainer note from Callum
It was a pleasure working with you and Hank. He is a wonderful dog who responded really well to guidance and training.

It's tricky getting the hang of the combination but Bah seems to be effective alone

First lesson was great, to learn about dog behavior and apply it in real time was so helpful. We appreciate the non-judgement from Michelle, as we try to navigate our new family dynamic while trying to be the best dog owners we can be. We’ve found the techniques easy to use and although we are a long way from being fully trained, we are on our way 😊
Trainer note from Michelle
Hi Brianna, it's great to get things started with you and Arnott! Just take all the little opportunities to apply the techniques into your everyday interactions where you can - this will help change Arnott's behaviour and increase your leadership. Every little bit helps - just try to keep making progress!

Unbelievable results, it's like our Dachshund was swapped overnight with a trained and well behaved dog. Finally can sleep at night without howling and barking. Can't believe how quickly Kelly could correct our dogs behaviour.
Trainer note from Kelly
Isn't Pepper just the best! Thank you for allowing Bark Busters to assist with her transition from a house to a unit. You have done an amazing job navigating the Body Corporate complaints and rules for approval, and your consistent training has allowed you both more freedom to to the things you love external of the apartment! Jumping up, barking, separation anxiety - all of these can be so stressful, and her improvements have been a credit to you hard work. Well done!

Thank you to Cat. Even after one lesson we are seeing great results with Chip's development. The skills that you taught us have been super useful to become the best dog owners for Chip. We highly recommend Cat to anyone who may be struggling with their dogs behaviour or anxiety.
Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks for leaving a review Alida, it was great to see Chip's (4 year old Kelpie x Labrador) quick response to the training on the day. Having a dog that suffers from anxiety can be stressful for everyone involved and knowing we can address it through this training and see great results is always a pleasure to see. I look forward to seeing his progress at your next lesson :)

Kelly was great - she talked and walked me through and advised me on ways and means to correct Mavericks behaviour. More importantly she educated me on what to do when these situations occurred and how I was to react and correct the situation. It has only been a few days but I (and others) have already noticed an improvement in his demeanor. She gave me lots of information and things to work on between sessions and how to get the best out of the training. Looking forward to the second session as the first was very positive.
Trainer note from Kelly
Golden retrievers are giant puppies, which is amazing - until you, as the owner, are healing from a broken leg! Modifying the training to suit your mobility was easy, and we saw improvements straight away. Mav is a cracker of a dog, lovely temperament, but so strong on the lead - we worked on this specifically at the 2nd and 3rd lesson, and all the humans assisting you with Mav's walking saw improvements using our fun system. Barking, jumping up, separation work, we corrected all of these concerns. You have an amazing companion, and it was so important not to be the fun police, not to change his personality, but simply gain control - it's so wonderful to still let him be a dog! Well done, Wally, you've done a great job, and he's an amazing dog!

3rd July 2024 - Glen & Maureen Guelfi
5 minutes with Glen and my dogs were laying peacefully outside the door while I was run through the training program, this was a huge achievement for my 5 year old Husky x German Shepard as she has already completed 3 different obedience schools and still jumped and scratched at the door when there were guests in the house. I had never been able to train both my dogs at once and most attempts ended with my pair getting into a fight and having to be separated, they would not listen to me if they were together and seperate they were different dogs. Since my first training I have never been so happy and thankful, my dogs have been on a loose lead walk together for the first time ever (not without lack of trying), I have had people over with no issue and without having to chuck in a disclaimer “sorry for the dogs carrying on out there, you can’t open the door they will jump all over you”. I finally feel safe that my dogs will listen to me and see me as the leader, they are happier than ever now that I feel they can safely be out together and they can stay in the house when guests come over.
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thank you, I'm super happy they are doing so well, be consistent for even greater results.

1st July 2024 - Stephan Naude
I understand dog training is a long term and ongoing work. But the result after the first lesson with Stephan was absolutely amazing. I have a cheeky 2 year old German Shepherd who is leash reactive and testing boundaries daily. As an "experienced" dog owner, I thought I could handle him. But after trying different methods and hundreds of dog training videos online, my dog was getting worse and I was getting frustrated. Now after the first lesson, I'm confident to take him out for a walk with my other dog and I can see his improvement everyday. Thank you so much Stephan.
Trainer note from Stephan

Thank you Kelly for an amazing first session! Ares has already shown amazing signs of improvement after just one session! We are now able to have the kids play freely in the back yard with some simple commands! Thank you again
Trainer note from Kelly
Rescue dogs are always so blessed when they are adopted. Ares was next level - rescued in Greece and now he is a Brissy-boy! Lots of changes, lots of new exposures, and ensuring he was safe in a family environment was crucial. Lead training, separation work, safety for your children, dog reactivity, all these have been focused on, and we are almost due for another walk around the block to fine tune things - with out Lifetime Support Guarantee, a tailored approach comes as a given! See you soon for more training, and thanks so much for all your hard work :-)

We were amazed how much information we were given regarding our puppy. Our dog amazed us how quickly he responded to some of the instructions given. Not only has our puppy learned so have we which was a surprise. It’s a long journey but grateful for the advice and support of Bark busters Thanks Maureen.
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
