Kelly dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Other
The challenges of having a untrained cross breed dog were becoming embarrassing and unbearable to the stage that going for a walk was not a enjoyable experience for all involved and I was having a major dislike for my dog and I was the cause of these issues. I found a Bark Busters pamphlet at the pet store did the questionnaire and wow we had issues. Kelly called, I saved, then Kelly visited, with Kelly’s guidance we changed Storms diet used the tools and praise, we saw major improvements with Storm she is a much happier girl. And I am enjoying her more. We all can’t thank Kelly enough for her help with Storm.
Trainer note from Kelly
Storm is a lovely 4 year old Amstaff x - and she has landed in canine nirvana! She is well spoilt and totally loved (as they all should be) - thank you for giving this rescue dog another chance at life. Storm responded so well to our gentle methods, and we saw improvements in jumping up, prey drive (chasing the family cat want to play!), pulling on lead, and general lack of focus. Well done to Cheryleen and her family for their daily efforts with training - to see her walking on a loose lead down the street at the second lesson was priceless! See you soon for lesson #3 :-)!

Getting in touch with Philip from Bark Busters was the best decision we have made in response to training our dogs. We were extremely frustrated with our dogs excessive barking and resistance to walking on the lead but in just a few short hours Philip has given us the knowledge to successfully do this. Even after just our first lesson with Philip I have noticed a massive change in our dogs. All of the information regarding training Molly & Dexter was done in simple and easy to understand terms. I have no hesitation in recommending Philip if you need help with your dogs.
Trainer note from Todd
Molly and Dexter are to 11 month old German Shepherd cross Border Collie siblings. Molly particularly looked aggressive on walks when other dogs were encountered. Both dogs barked a lot whilst at home and had caused issues with the neighbours. Even a bird landing on the deck nearby would set them off. We had a terrific lesson and both dogs responded brilliantly! Graham learnt how to show his natural born leadership and this allows both dogs to relax and not be on guard all day. Well done Graham!

Our girls were completely different dogs by the end of the session. Relaxed and responsive. The techniques are so simple and effective. Kelly was clear and passionate about the training techniques we need to use. She was very encouraging and supportive, giving us the confidence that we needed.
Trainer note from Kelly
Boydie and Larry are such characters, as most Cattle Dogs are! Both girls are still only young (7 months) but were showing signs of being a little bit pushy, and barking way too much! After our first session though, what a change! At our second lesson we started working on dog to dog management, to allow the girls to start travelling in the caravan without reacting when they saw other dogs - and their brains engaged like a dream. Well done to you both for your tenacity with daily training, 15 minutes a day makes a huge difference. I'll see you all again soon!

Glen & Maureen dealt with Aggression, Barking, Chewing, Digging, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry
Only one session in and you can see the change in behaviour. Having a large dog with 3 guard breeds in him, my dog was hard to control and unpredictable. Glen was amazing, he explained what was happening and why, and gave me all the tools to have a model citizen. I have no doubt that with a little effort on my part we will get there in no time! Thanks for giving me faith and hope!
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thankyou, Zeus was great I think he was feeling a little left out as your friend left. Once you become his leader I think he will be a great dog to have and to show off as well. Keep up the good work. Glen

I had a great time learning how to train and lead Cosmo. The training was as much for myself as it was for Cosmo :)
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
I am glad you realise that. Some times people don't understand that the dog needs the owner to take control and not the trainer. Im there to help you both understand each other. Keep up the good work. Glen

Head Office dealt with Aggression, Separation anxiety
We love Faith and the Bark Buster training techniques!! Our household was living in fear and the stress levels were high as our dogs’ fighting was literally out of control... We now feel at peace knowing we have the techniques to apply, enabling us to lead our little wolf-pack ??. We look forward to Faith’s continued support as we strive to create harmony for our household.
Trainer note from Head Office
I was so happy to be able to help you, understanding what these dogs mean to your family. Keep up the great work. You are such a wonderful dedicated family.

Our eight month old Rottweiler had developed some bad habits, so we called Emma in for help.
She spent a lot of time going over things with us and him at our home and the improvement was immediate.
We're using the advice that Emma gave us to reinforce our dog's training and we're seeing marked improvements in every way.
Our dog still tries to get away with what he can, when he can, but his behaviour has improved out of sight and we're very happy with him.
We cant recommend Emma highly enough.
Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Darren. Digger is a stunning 8 month old Rottweiler with some bad habits. During Digger's first #speakdog session we worked on: ? answering the front door ? behaviour around doorways ? jumping ? stealing tissues / socks / etc ? walking nicely on the lead ? focus outside of the home ? mouthing / grabbing hands His family did a great job & I'm looking forward to checking up on progress soon. ?
