22nd October 2025 - Ric Kennedy

Ric dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety

I am so grateful for the amazing help we received from Ric! He worked wonders with my puppy Cosmo. His approach was calm, clear, and effective. Cosmo has made incredible progress, and I have learnt so much. Ric not only provided me with the right tools and techniques but also took the time to answer all our questions and gave me the confidence to handle any situation. Cosmo is now more relaxed, and on the road to being well-behaved, and happier than ever! We can't recommend Ric enough. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and results-driven dog trainer, look no further! Thank you again and we are looking forward to our next Training Day. Dot & Dan.

17th October 2024 - Martin Blattman

Martin dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall

We had a great experience working with Martin to help our French bulldog overcome some challenging behaviors like fence running, walking difficulties, and car chasing. From the first session, Martin demonstrated an in-depth understanding of our dog’s temperament and tailored a training plan specifically for these issues. Fence running was one of our biggest concerns, but with Martin's guidance, we saw a noticeable reduction in this behavior after just a few sessions. His positive reinforcement techniques worked wonders in redirecting our dog’s attention and energy in a more constructive way. Walking had always been a bit of a struggle, especially with distractions like passing cars. Thanks to Martin, we now have a much calmer and more enjoyable walking routine. Our dog is more focused and responsive on the leash, and the car chasing issue, which we thought would be nearly impossible to fix, has dramatically improved. Martin not only helped correct these behaviors but also gave us the tools and confidence to continue reinforcing good habits on our own. I can’t recommend Martin highly enough! He truly transformed our walks and overall peace of mind.

Hi Karen, thank you so much for the review. It was a pleasure working with you and Ellie to help her understand that she didn't need to be in charge anymore after all this time and so many other trainers. With our Bark Busters training program Ellie will become a better behaved darling and a pleasure to be with. Looking forward to our next lesson.

Head Office dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety, Sibling rivalry

John assisted us greatly with our troublesome Dachshund. Bailey was attacking her much older brother, had obedience issues and had trouble walking on her lead. John explained the reasons behind Bailey’s behaviour, which enabled us to understand why she was behaving the way she was. John provided us with practical techniques to bring Baileys behaviour and mannerisms under control. Bailey will always be somewhat of a work in progress, but thanks to John's excellent help and knowledge we have the skills and resources to ensure she keeps improving.

John came to see me two weeks ago for really, a 5 year review on my Jack Russell X Fox Terrier for a different problem to my initial issues when he was only 8 months old, when I lived in Sydney. I have recently moved to the Central Coast and my house is situated on a corner with timber wide spaced fencing as well as the deck, along the house and front yard. This makes for quite a visually exposed large front area. Billy sees every dog walking up from the corner to the other corner, sometimes children are playing across the road in the street and owners with their dogs walking past any time throughout the day. Billy was constantly doing his full territorial barking pretty much every single time he noticed activity outside and I wanted to nip it in the bud before it got too much for me and for my new neighbours. John's explained what is going on for Billy at the time of the activity outside the house. Why he is barking and what he is trying to tell me.I am so happy that he is listening to me and reacting to my commands. The other day, two dogs went past, and a child with its parents, all walking about a foot from my front gate and Billy stood at the fence, looking through the gap and wagging his tail. Not a sound came out of him. I am also very happy that when he is let outside for the final time at night and he wants to hunt in the front garden, he has come straight in for me. I don't have to stand out there with a torch and call him 5 times to come back in. He responds to me straight away. That also is a blessing now. I would recommend John to anyone on the Central Coast that is having any issues with their dog/s. I found him to be a very good trainer. He stayed for quite a long time to make sure I absolutely understood. I think the information and training is invaluable.
