Very happy with how Graeme explained everything clearly at the start, the techniques and answered all our questions as we went along. Very happy with how he is as both a trainer and a teacher

Kath dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Separation anxiety, Sibling rivalry
I had the best experience from Kath, I've never had a dog trainer before and by far it was the best decision I’d ever made. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that is seeking help with their dog troubles. She was very kind and polite and very understanding of my needs and wants with my dogs. She understood where I was coming from and was so helpful in every way. I noticed a change in my dogs within 10 minutes of her teaching me new tricks and how to take control of the situation, my Chihuahua Benji was very aggressive towards people and animals and as soon as she came to the rescue to help us with his anxiety he was happy to be around her and was no longer an aggressive dog anymore. He was happy and calm to be around her and gave her lots of kisses and cuddles she was very quick to see what was wrong with him and explained to me why he’s behaving in this way and made me realise what I needed to do in order to help him and make him more happy and calm again. She also helped with them barking a lot and the technique she taught me was so helpful I couldn’t stop practicing when she left and it WORKS. The training is very easy and straightforward and very easy to follow it’s amazing what your pet can do with a bit of guidance from the help of Kath. I would definitely recommend Bark Busters to anyone, hands down the best dog trainers ever - I’m so happy to have Bark Busters involved in my journey to making my home a more calm and happy place again, I cannot thank you enough for all you have done for me and my family :)
Trainer note from Kath
Such kind words Paige, thank-you! It's a pleasure to be able to help you and your dogs find peace and happiness again. it never fails to make me smile when the dogs just 'get it' and see them understanding what you want! Chihuahuas don't deserve the reputation they sometimes have and your precious pair are testament to how sweet these little guys really are. Time, patience, understanding and above all good communication will soon see them overcome their troubles. I look forward to continuing to help with their progress!

Jane was great. She’s calm, direct and patient with lots of great tips and lots of common sense! I would recommend her to anyone who needs some help with their furbaby.
Trainer note from Head Office
Wilbur has come such a long way and you have learnt to speak dog. It was lovely to be invited into your home and help you to train your furbaby. Moving house is such a difficult thing for our dogs and you have made it so easy for Wilbur to adapt to a new environment. Great work!!

Emma dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety, Sibling rivalry
After 1 visit from Emma both our dogs responded from the training.
They're happier, calmer, no more sibling rivalry which has calmed the whole house down, and more knowing who's in charge.
After only a couple of days of us training them what we learnt we have noticed so much improvement and so thankful to Emma for what she taught all of us.
Look forward to more knowledge in helping our babies be happy.
Thanks Emma
Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Christina. Now these 2 girls were trouble with a capital T!! Lola the 3 year old Pitbull x Staffy, and Gypsy the 9 year old Staffy x Boxer, were fighting! After a few changes at home their behaviour had gone from bad to worse & it had got to the point that Lola needed to be muzzled if she was anywhere near Gypsy, so her mum called Bark Busters for help. Both dogs would bark at noises, passersby, visitors arriving, etc, they both jumped on people and pulled on the lead like a pair of steam trains. Both dogs were suffering with anxiety and each of them thought they needed to be in charge of the house. During our first session we saw an instant transformation in both girls, and their family, and by the end of the session we had both dogs walking on the lead without pulling someone over, and they were calm and relaxed together without a muzzle in sight :) Really looking forward to our next session to see how much more these girls have improved.

Jane was amazing with Baxter from the moment she arrived. I noticed behavioural changes within the first 5 minutes and a much happier puppy. To not hear his continuous barking is amazing.
Trainer note from Head Office
It was such a joy to work with Baxter, a 22 week old Bulldog:) We have a bit of a journey, but Bark Busters are going to be available to give you and Baxter support for the rest of his life

Peter dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Puppy management
We've got a much calmer dog and she appears to be happy with the new arrangements! There are still things that we, the humans in the pack, need to address and we're looking forward to Peter returning and continuing our education.
Trainer note from Peter
Thank you Iris , Gracie is a standard Poodle who is very intelligent. She was so clever she took control of the home . With the Bark Busters techniques and communication she stopped her jumping, requesting and hyperactivity. She calmed down with Iris's help after showing her how to communicate in canine with Gracie. Looking forward to our follow up and any further help throughout her life as you have the Bark Busters free lifetime support

Peter dealt with Aggression, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Toileting
We rescued Lucy from a Shelter , and she is such a sweet heart.
Unfortunately we left her for 2 nights in a Dog Shelter when we went on holidays where we suspect she was attacked. Her manners towards other dogs escalated, and she is extremely aggressive.
Peter came to our house, and explained how the canine world works , and taught us commands and skills to help become the pack leaders again, and make Lucy feel secure , safe and protected. We saw results instantly , it was amazing. I’ve never seen Lucy walk behind someone on the lead, so quickly. Straight away she acknowledged that we were leaders and was listening! What we got out of just our 3 hours is more then we ever thought or achieved in 6 months !
Can’t wait to see Lucy’s progress over the next coming weeks! Eventually we hope that Lucy feels so safe she will no longer have anxiety when she sees a dog on a walk.
Trainer note from Peter
Thank you Ashley Lucy is a very intelligent dog . Being in the kennel and experience aggression from some dogs unfortunately caused her to be dog reactive . We helped her with jumping walking recall and answering the front door correctly. In our next visit we will expose her to dogs in the distance and I will advise you how we reeducate Lucy to not be fearful and trust that you are in charge of the perceived dog threat. this will make her more relaxed around dogs Thank you for allowing me to help you and it was a pleasure to meet you Larissa and Lucy

6 weeks into owning Coco I was close to returning her but now 14 weeks in she is becoming a good companion. Training was as much for me as was for Coco.
Trainer note from Catharina
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Alan, Coco is a now 6 month old Shnoodle. She came to be a companion dog but was a fearful puppy which made the bonding process difficult. She was quite a timid dog and we worked hard to build trust. Over time (we were patient :)) Coco has responded beautifully and I am so pleased with the outcome!

Meisha has improved so much we can't believe it! Best money we have spent. Stefanie made sure we understood everything and got us all included in the training. She was a pleasure to be around.

Michelle dealt with Sibling rivalry
After experiencing several dog training specialists with, disappointingly, very little effect or change, it was a significant relief to listen to Bark Busters' thorough explanation of their process and then observe them execute the technique.
We watched our dog 'Bodhi', who suffered from separation anxiety, responded immediately with few to no errors. The techniques were simple to apply and as a result we have experienced significant improvements in Bodhi.
