Emma dealt with Barking, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
Abbi is a 7 year old rescue dog new to our family and we wanted to give her the best chance to have a good and relaxed life with us. Emma explained dog behaviour in a way our family could understand. She worked with Abbi and us and immediately began to help us modify Abbi's behaviours. We are continuing to work with Abbi using the techniques shown. It is only day two and already she is beginning to loose leash walk which previously thought may not be possible. She is also not reacting to stimulus anywhere near as much as possible and is responding well to correction. We are giving her lots of positives too as she is trying so hard to please. We highly recommend Emma and are looking forward to continue our work with her.
Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Danae :) Miss Abbi, the beautiful 7 year old Boxer X is a very lucky girl indeed to have found such a loving home, with a family who is committed to making her life better. The biggest issues that her family were having were walking nicely on the lead & her reactive behaviour to other dogs. During her first session we also covered attention seeking, jealous behaviour, barking, manners at the front door & her behaviour around the cats. With her family's commitment to her training Abbi will go from strength to strength, and we are looking forward to having her join our park sessions soon.

Pinot was a star. Phillipa did an epic job showing us the correct way at giving Pinot boundaries.
Trainer note from Philippa
It was great to see Pinot responding so well and to be well adjusted and prepared for the arrival of the new baby. Great training.

Emma was on time, polite and knowledgeable. She explained the bark busters training program and techniques whilst answering all of our questions along the way. Before our session, I was sceptical and a little worried about spending the amount of money on dog training but after seeing how much Marley learnt in the first session, I can say with confidence that this training is worth every penny.
Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Anastazja :) Marley the 4 year old Rottweiler is one very lucky girl. Not only has she recently been adopted, along with her brother, by a very loving family, but her new family is committed to training her to be a more relaxed & calmer dog. The biggest issue that Marley’s family wanted addressing was that she was being very reactive to visitors, she would bark, growl & bear her teeth at them, and had even bailed up a few visitors in the hallway. During our first speak dog session I taught Marley’s family how to become the leaders for Marley, so that she could relax and not worry about trying to control everything. We worked on: Barking Jumping Visitors Arriving Answering the front door Walking nicely on the lead Dog reactivity Separation anxiety Jealous Behaviour Excessive licking Marley’s family did a great job & I’m looking forward to seeing their continued progress when I check in with them again soon.

Philippa dealt with Jumping up, Recall
Was very happy with the first training session. It took Bear awhile to respond to the training but with Phillipas help we got there in the end. He was very responsive.
Trainer note from Philippa
I look forward to continued training to address the behavioural problems and anxiety and seeing Bear a calm confident boy with great leadership from his pack leader. Speaking dog the Bark Busters way.

We have had three visits from Stefanie so far in the space of one month and already we can see major improvements in our little mini daschund Butters! Before Stefanie came to us Butters was an anxious, miss behaved, non-responsive little boy, now..after only two sessions he is such a different dog. We are so appreciative of the help, great advice and around the clock support that we have received from Stefanie! Very much looking forward to improving even more but we know we are on the right track with Bark Busters!
Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Michelle! Butters is certainly great at melting hearts! Such a sweet boy he is! I am so pleased to see and hear about the progress he has made since starting the training - from his walking to in house manners. Well done on your commitment to it and keep up the great work!

Emma dealt with Barking, Chewing, Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Sibling rivalry
From the moment Emma walked into our home we knew right away that we hade made the right decision going with Bark Busters.
Emma was fantastic, she really knew her stuff and within 10mins of her being in with Roxy we noticed a change.
Emma took full control of a dog that Usually barks, jumps and wants our full attention.
Emma explained in a way that we fully understood, the behaviours Roxy is showing was not not just her issue but the way we let her be the Alpha Male as such, which was that Roxy felt that she had to protect us all the time as we were not showing the assertiveness that we should have been.
Using the Techniques taught to us by Emma and a simple word and a few toys, we were amazed how Roxy changed over the few hours we spent together.
Then when we took Roxy for a training walk, “wow” it was a breath of fresh air and so stress free.
We cannot thank Emma enough for what she has done for our wonderful family member.
Thanks Emma

Thanks Philip for giving us the tools to properly train our Kelpie Ava!
We found the whole process was very thorough. Philip explained and demonstrated the training to us step by step and we were amazed by the immediate results. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Philip if you want the very best training for your dog.
Trainer note from Todd
Ava is a lovely Kelpie female who possibly had a tough start to life but has now found a wonderful forever home where she has been for about 4 months. She's now about 13 months old. low a lovely dog her behaviour issues included jumping up and nipping pulling on the lead chewing digging and destructive behaviours. her focus was also not good and that was one of the issues we dealt with at her lesson today. As her loving humans commented she did very well and they saw their dog in a much calmer state than before. There was also a little bit of sibling rivalry with their other dog Charlie and they learnt how to prevent Ava from annoying Charlie. Charlie said thank you!

Ken was extremely helpful from the moment I was in contact with him. The first initial green light for me was just his genuine care about helping us with our rescue staffy Mia. He worked with us on a financial basis to ensure we could get the necessary training as soon as possible. Mia being a rescue puppy had a few behavioural issues and extreme separation anxiety which put a lot of pressure on us, however when Ken assisted us, it has been incredible to see her transformation and it has only been 2 weeks! ken is not just there to teach you on the scheduled dates, he has consistently given us tips and advice in between the sessions, it has been such a relief.
Thank you Ken for your ongoing support, your techniques, tips and for genuinely caring about our Mia.
Trainer note from Ken
Thanks so much Romina and Anthony! I really enjoyed working with you guys and Mia a 6 month old staffy X. It makes my job rewarding when I can see dogs quality of life improve when they have genuinely loving owners like yourselves. Keep up the good work and remember I am only a phone call away if you have any questions.

At my first lesson with Gabriel, he was very knowledgeable and he taught me a lot about my three year old German Shepherd Theo and why he does the things he does and the best way to combat the issues that I am having with him. I am quite new at handling and being a new dog owner, so I would recommend him and Bark Busters with all your dog issues and training.
Trainer note from Head Office
Theo is responding well to his owner and I am continuing to work with them in the new year.
