I can't believe the difference in Regie from the first session! He's finally listening to us and hes much more relaxed. Stef was easy to understand, patient and so helpful!
Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Rebecca! Regie (English Bulldog) and Lola (Golden Retriever) are both such great dogs with two different personalities. It has been very heartwarming to see them improve on their behaviour at every lesson and to see everyone so on board with the training! Lola has gradually grown out of her separation anxiety while Regie, who can be very boisterous, improved so much on his manners and walking! Well done and enjoy your walks together!

Great Experience. Stef was very clear with all her explanations. We noticed an immediate improvement in our dogs behaviour. Training with positive reinforcement and no treats is great. Targeting issues we have at home and with our 2 dogs together has helped up us to gain much faster and better results. We tried weekly dog obedience classes but felt we got "lost in the crowd". We would not train our dogs any other way now that we have found Bark Busters. Stef has been incredible and has so much experience and passion. We are so glad we found you. Thank you for all the help you have given us.

Thanks Robyn! Pepper (kelpie) and Zoe (kelpie x) are both such great girls and have their own set of behavioural issues. For Pepper, I can see that she is steadily improving in not excessively barking at the backyard, although she is very cheeky and tries to get away with it. Zoe is very much still a puppy and her development from manners to walking well on the lead has been improving so much. Well done for keeping up with the training for both of them!

Absolutely stoked with every aspect of our bark busters experience. Stefanie was brilliant... a true professional. We now have a calm, obedient and much happier dog.
Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Elise! Roxy the2 year old staffy was certainly a pleasure to train! We saw her behaviour do a 180 turn in the first 10 minutes and now she has impeccable manners at home and during walks. She has a huge potential and I am glad you have learnt to harness that and enjoy her as a dream of a pet. Keep up the great work!

Very friendly and patient dog trainer. We learned a lot just from our first lesson.
Trainer note from Head Office
Frankie the English Staffy is a very handsome boy who is learning good manners and is starting his journey to be less frightened around heavy traffic and the noises associated with it.

Stefanie dealt with Aggression, Barking, Digging, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Toileting
Stef was amazing with our Silky Terrier Tom. We were having issues with Tom's aggressive behaviour towards other dogs when out walking and his poor door manners. On Stef's first visit she had taught us how to speak to Tom and get him to really listen to us. We couldn't believe we were seeing a difference in the first session! Stef was so patient and caring with Tom, she really took the time to listen to our concerns and teach us how to correct Tom's bad behaviour. Tom has come such a long way and we are so thankful to Stef for helping us.
Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Emma! It was lovely to work with you and your family. Tom the 3 year old Silky Terrier certainly has a loud bark! I am very glad to have seen such steady progress in his reaction towards the challenges that he faces everyday, especially at the doorbell / buzzer and when he sees other dogs during his walks. He also did very well in our group session. Well done Tom and his family!

Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Leanne! Both Blue and Oscar (Cavalier x Bichon Frise) were super responsive and knew what was expected of them within minutes of the training session and would not bark at the door bell or knocks. Great work in being consistent, especially when they bark to get in at night. Well done to you and your family!

Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Colin and Heather! Frankie (2 year old Jack Russell) is such a good girl with a very loud bark. She clearly just needs directions and wants to please. And Archie (1 year old Italian Greyhound) is just a sweetie pie; we don't need to worry about him :P Looking forward to our revisit session!

It was fantastic! Shaxx can use his doggie door now!!!
Trainer note from Stefanie
Shaxx ( 7 month old Boston Terrier) was toileting indoors as since he was first brought home, he was not able to learn to use the doggy door and was scared of it. Within 2 lessons, we were able to get him to enthusiastically go in and out using the dooggy door. He is now also waling nicely next to his parents and improved his indoor manners, such as not jumping and greeting guests calmly. Well done Shaxx!

Stefanie was fantastic, taking us through the theory and then some real live practice with her really set us up for success. In a short space of time the behavioural issues we had have been addressed, and we have the puppy of our dreams. Thank you so much for your help!

Stefanie has been very helpful teaching my wife and I to setup the basic rules and foundations for our puppy cavoodle to settle into the family. If it wasn't for her guidance our puppy would have been hard to handle and out of control.
Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Alex! Astro ( 2 month old Cavoodle) is such a pleasure to train. He clearly wants to follow and just require directions. Keep up the great work and I look forward to our revisit sessions in the future!

Stefanie dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling
Stefanie was wonderful, being both knowledgeable and positive. We contacted Stefanie for help with both of our dogs, Kirra and Sadie, and their annoying barking.
After the first visit we basically had the barking under control, with the added bonus of them behaving with visitors at the door and walking well on lead (I hadn't even realised how hard they were to walk until then). I actually think the dogs are happier and less confused with my discipline now that I speak dog.
Thank you Stefanie!
Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Sharon! It was such a treat to train you and your darling cuties - Kirra (Kelpie x Border Collie) and Sadie (Border Collie). They have such sweet personalities (and Sadie is such a sook) and wants to follow directions. Well done for being consistent and achieving great results in such a short time. Enjoy your walks!!

Stefanie dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall
From the very start I really appreciated Stefanie's clear and professional approach. Stefanie's ability to quickly assess Scout and work out what was needed meant that even from the first lesson I was an improvement and this has continued to be the case. Scout has continued to become a much more manageable dog and it's all thanks to Stefanie's assistance and guidance.
Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Ben! It was great to see Scout ( 2 year old Golden Retriever) improving, with you also being very consistent with her training. Scout has such a happy and very playful personality and I have no doubt she will continue on to increase her focus on you! Keep up the great work!
