Head Office dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling
We reached out to Pushpa as our 3 month old puppy Whiskey was starting to bark, jumping on people, pulling the lead and we could not control her excitement. After a couple of sessions with Pushpa, Whiskey has improved significantly in all these areas. The techniques we have been taught have gained us a much calmer, happier pooch (and owners!) Thanks Pushpa!
Trainer note from Head Office

I highly recommend Pushpa as a dog trainer. We have a 3 year old energetic Beagle cross who has barked, jumped up on people and pulled non-stop on the lead for months. Pushpa has provided us with the tools that would work best for Freddie’s unwanted behaviours. Pushpa is polite, empathetic and more than willing to answer any questions we had. Definitely a trainer worth investing in!

Thank you for your recommendation it is much appreciated! Fabulous Freddie is learning about boundaries and respect as his owners prepare for their new baby in November. This is what responsible dog ownership looks like with Freddie and his family living a happy and content life together.

Head Office dealt with Pulling, Sibling rivalry
We are so glad we have joined Bark Busters and have had Pushpa guide us with our cavoodle, Koda. Initially, we were concerned with Koda's separation anxiety but with Pushpa's help we have been able to lay the foundations of human-dog relationship and get it to a wonderful place. We are now better communicators with our dog and have seen a big improvement when left alone, leash walking and respect. Within a week of training, Koda is much more confident now and has learnt to walk beside us on leash. We are thankful to Pushpa and all the support she has provided us. It is nice to know we always can give Pushpa a call if we need to.
Trainer note from Head Office
Very glad you and your little family now have a better understanding of canine communication and in doing so can better manage Koda's separation anxiety and enjoy a wonderful life together with him. Happy dog happy family. Keep up your great work!

Head Office dealt with Aggression, Barking, Recall, Sibling rivalry
I have a 4.5 year old male miniature Dachshund . The biggest concern for me was his lead aggression. On our first visit from Pushpa she assessed my dog in our home . She gave me some education and showed me some strategies on how to handle certain concerns I had with him, such as barking , separation anxiety and a few other things. On our second visit we went walking around our usual block, to say that he was a completely different dog would be an understatement. He went from being a dog that would claw my arms to get to another dog , to completely ignoring two dogs that walked straight past us. I am so happy I found Pushpa . She is so professional, friendly and clearly knows what she is talking about . 10/10 would recommend for other dog‘s especially other dachshund’s.

We are beyond grateful to have had Pushpa from BarkBusters Inner West work with our family. After seeing the rave reviews online, we were eager for her to help us with our five-month-old puppy and handle common issues such as separation anxiety, barking, and walking on a lead nicely.
Pushpa gave us clear instructions on how to get the best out of our pup, and her thorough details evenly covered all those essential topics. We didn't know if we could see progress within so short a time, but it certainly paid off! Five days later, our pup was already beginning to make considerable strides forward—and two weeks later, we were able to leave them alone for one whole hour without setting off any alarms.
All in all, Pushpa has given us the greatest gift imaginable: a wonderfully well-trained pet! We couldn't recommend her services more highly; we are incredibly thankful that she has been part of this journey and look forward to many more successful days with these techniques put in place!

Head Office dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up
I called Pushpa because Lilli’s barking and jumping and constantly being under my feet was getting really challenging - especially since we had spoilt her quite a bit since an accident she was involved in a few months ago. She has been so responsive to the Bark Busters method and in just two weeks has calmed so much - Pushpa was really helpful in explaining how and why the method works and checking in on us. It’s still going to take time to fully embed but in just 2 weeks there are significant improvements and I’m excited to have a calmer and more enjoyable relationship with Lilli!
Trainer note from Head Office
Thanks Belinda it’s great working with you and Lilli to address her barking, jumping and constantly being under your feet!. As you can see her response to Bark Busters method means in just 2 weeks she has calmed so much and there are significant improvements. Keep up your good work.

From the first meeting Ken was able to quickly identify issues and offer effective remedies for some of the behaviours we wanted to work on with our dog. He is a very reliable and approachable professional.

Toby is a great dog and I love and depend on him. I lost my husband on Christmas Eve 2020. So it was just Toby and me. I have no next of kin. Toby took over the job of looking after me. He gets me up every morning and then stays with me all day. The only problem was he was so strong he literally could pull me off my feet, I am 76 and having problems walking and getting around. So I called Barkbusters to help me. The training was great and easy. I learned a lot as well as Toby learning.
