Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Stefanie dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall

We engaged Bark Busters to help out our little Maxi who came from a house full of dogs and had never seen cars or people before let alone ever wore a collar or was groomed. Maxi also barked at people and other dogs and tried to nip them. Stef came over and in our first lesson she taught us some really helpful tips about how to help Maxi. We have had a few sessions with Stef now and Maxi is slowly learning how to handle these situations and so are we. Maxi is a lot calmer than he has ever been and so much fun. I totally recommend Bark Busters and more importantly Stef who loves her job and the dogs she works with. Thanks Stef for all your help to date.

Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Linda! It was fun to do training with Maxi (1 year old Shih Tzu x) as he is such a clown! Despite having a big break between Maxi's training sessions, you picked it up again very well and pushed on for progress. Maxi also did very well in the group session where he showed much restraint and tolerance! Well done so far and keep up the great work!

Stefanie dealt with Barking, Chewing, Jumping up, Recall, Separation anxiety, Other

Stef made everything very clear for us to understand. She also made sure we understood everything in the lesson and kept checking in to make sure we grasping each concept. The first lesson was set up in a way that we could focus on some of the theory behind animal behaviours in the beginning and then put it all into practice in the second half of the session which was very rewarding to see it in action.

Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Nicole! Nate (1 year old Labrador) and Otto (10 month old German Shorthaired Pointer) are both two beautiful dogs with different personalities and have different set of issues to work on. Well done in tackling each one of them and getting the results! Both dogs are generally more focused, have excellent in house manners and walking great on lead! Keep up the great work!

Stefanie dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Sibling rivalry

Stef was so helpful and understanding for the beginning. She really took her time to understand our issues with our two French bulldogs Ruby & Ralph. My husband and I defiantly noticed the difference in Ruby & Ralph after implementing Stef's techniques and advice. Since the training the dogs are more well behaved and we are very clear on what we need to do to ensure this continues. The training was worth every cent, i'm just sorry we didn't do it sooner.

- N.C, Greensborough, Victoria (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Nikki! It’s very heartwarming to see both Ruby and Ralph (6 & 5 year old french bulldogs) respond so well to their leaders! Both have very different personalities and hence have different modes of training, which you guys have picked up very well. Ruby, especially, is so much calmer since she knows she can rely on you both while Ralph is just a happy cheeky boy who needs more boundaries. Keep up the excellent work!

Stefanie dealt with Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall

Easy to follow and understood the reasons for techniques. Training easy and effective. Nothing cruel/harsh used.

- B.W, Epping, Victoria (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Brooke! Finn is such a beautiful 1 year old German Shepherd, who is such a responsive dog. His progress from his first lesson is very evident and it is clear that you have been following the training instructions. Well done on improving his focus so much and getting him to walk nicely on lead!

Stefanie dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall

Stephanie was brilliant. I did do my research before contacting Bark Busters and was almost sceptical only because all the reviews were amazing! And now I know why! Noticed changes from the first lesson itself - Kubo (my 2 year old Groodle) was much more well-behaved. The techniques incorporated made sense and were easy to follow. The program is well tailored and I love the fact that your pooch can be trained in it's own environment - this was very important for me as Kubo is great outside but a menace in his own home! Steph is a dog whisperer, she's so good! Followed up after every session and reminded me to practice and stay on track - great customer service skills! Highly recommend - worth every penny!

- P.S, Bundoora, Victoria (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Pooja! Kubo the groodle is such a lovely boy and clearly wants to please you! Well done on training him to improve on his home manners, as well as walking nicely next to you. Remember to ring us should you require any refresher session ;) Keep up the great work!

Stefanie dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall, Other

Stefanie has always been so helpful and responsive to our calls when we needed help with our pup, Pumpkin. The training and tips we got are very hands on and have worked so well in improving Pumpkin's behaviour. Stef is also very understanding and accommodating with our time. We truly appreciate it.

- F.L, PARKVILLE, Victoria (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Florence! Pumpkin the corgi is such a sweet girl and it is very evident that she wants to do the right thing and is happy to please her family. Well done in reducing that excessive barking and walking her nicely on lead!

Stefanie dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall

Possum seems to have turned a corner. He is now much more responsive to us and is walking beautifully. When I want him to go outside I step out the door and call to him. He is also now letting the children pet him without jumping on them. We can't thank you enough for the help you have given us, we feel like we have a new dog.

- J.K, Doreen, Victoria (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Stefanie
Thank you Judi! Possum (8 month old Border Collie) is such a sweetie but he does have a stubborn streak and tries to push boundaries. I am glad he has gained so much progress and listening much better without changing his happy and friendly personality! He's on his way to becoming a well mannered adult dog. Keep up the great work!

Stefanie dealt with Aggression, Barking, Recall

Stef has been fantastic! from her very first visit with us we noticed an immediate change in our dog, Harry's behaviour. We have struggled with his dominance and stubborn behaviour for quite a while. But with Stef's clear and easy to understand instructions, we were able to see results with Harry almost instantly. It was as if Harry understood Stef's instructions and that he was no longer the "pack leader". Stef never gave Harry commands directly, instead teaching us how to train our dog. She has given us the the tools and the confidence to correct Harry's bad behaviour and disobedience. I look forward to our training sessions and hope to continue to see improvement with Harry. Thanks Stef!

- B.O, Watsonia North, Victoria (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Bec! Harry is such a sweet dog who clearly loves and wants to please you! He is super responsive from the first lesson onwards and his improved so much after such a short amount of time so well done in taking charge! Keep up the great work!

Stefanie dealt with Chewing, Digging, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall

Our training session with Stef was very long and challenging at times but we learnt a great deal of new and relevant information. The initial and the follow up session set us in the right direction and we are now able to apply the learning tools to almost any situation. Clementine is a giant schnauzer and she is still the 'puppy' phase at 1.3 yrs old. Clem is smart and cheeky and still challenges our patience everyday. Stef was a fantastic trainer and made everyone look very easy, she is like the 'dog whisperer'. Thanx Stef

- J.A, Melbourne, Victoria (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Jenaya! It was such a pleasure to help you guys with sweet Clementine. She's doing extremely well, also taking into consideration that she's still a giant puppy. You all did very well in following through with the techniques and it is great to see Clem's progress in her indoor manners, general focus and walking! Well done!

Stefanie dealt with Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall

Worth every penny. We have an 8 month old labrador, Lily, who sometimes proves to be a bit of a handful and once she started going through her adolescent phase we decided we needed some help. We have Lily enrolled in obedience training but it just wasn't the one on one attention and behavioral advice that we needed so we gave Bark Busters a go and we were not disappointed. Within 24 hours of our first lesson with Stef we already noticed changes and 4 weeks on we have a completely different dog that has completely settled down and is much happier. Stef has been fantastic at explaining things clearly and answering all of our questions. I highly recommend Bark Busters and Stef and can't thank Stef enough for all of her help!

- K.M, Yallambie, Victoria (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Stefanie
Thank you Kat! Lily was such a pleasure to train and such a sweetheart! I am very pleased with how you both kept up with her training! Her progress is very obvious and even her obedience instructor noticed the difference! Awesome work and keep it up!

Excellent service - our rescue dog, Kingsley is an Irish wolfhound who we needed to be responsive due to his size - he also had a lot of anxiety also because of his up bringing before we fostered him. Stef helped us learn ways to talk to him and manage his anxiety so now he responds to us very well, he doesn't jump at the door or bark for attention anymore and is currently learning how to socialise with other dogs. Really great service that moves at the pace you want it to so you don't feel rushed if you feel your dog isn't ready for interactions or learning.

- S.A, Northcote, Victoria (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Suha! It's been a pleasure to work Kingsley (Wolfhound x). He is an awesome dog who had an unfortunate thing happen to him. However, well done for getting so much progress with him! He did especially well in our group class and we'll continue on his progress at his (and yours) pace with our lifetime support guarantee. Keep up the awesome work!
