Stefanie dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Separation anxiety
Stef is a magician! We are absolutely blown away by the results. In just a few days, our 8-year-old Cavoodle with severe separation anxiety has completely transformed. She used to bark and howl the moment we left our apartment, disturbing the neighbours, but tonight I was able to leave her for 45 minutes without a peep. I’m confident she would have been fine for even longer!
Our girl also had issues with walking with just one person (me) but now with her new leash training the issue has been completely resolved!!!
This training has truly changed our lives. Thank you, Stef, we are so grateful! XX
Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Amanda and Sarah! I am so proud of ya'll, as I understand that when it comes to separation anxiety, the techniques to build a dog's independence is usually harder on the owner than the dog. That being said, it is just amazing how Bella the sweet cavoodle has taken to the training, despite always having separation anxiety, and is on her way to becoming more independent and calm when ya'll are not around. Also well done in achieving progress with her leash manners as well! Please keep up the great work and reach out anytime!

I understand dog training is a long term and ongoing work. But the result after the first lesson with Stephan was absolutely amazing. I have a cheeky 2 year old German Shepherd who is leash reactive and testing boundaries daily. As an "experienced" dog owner, I thought I could handle him. But after trying different methods and hundreds of dog training videos online, my dog was getting worse and I was getting frustrated. Now after the first lesson, I'm confident to take him out for a walk with my other dog and I can see his improvement everyday. Thank you so much Stephan.

9th January 2024 - Paul Labrum
Paul dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry
The training that my husband and I learnt from Paul has been invaluable.
We noticed a huge difference in the "problem behaviors" during our first session with him, and both of our dogs already seem much calmer and more relaxed.
On our first walk after meeting with Paul, our dog who usually drags us along on walks, was already walking side by side with us, not pulling on the lead, even with other dogs around.
Paul made us feel very comfortable and was more than happy to answer all of our questions and explain everything to us.
Would certainly recommend.
Trainer note from Paul
Thanks for your kind words Rhiannon. As I said during the lesson Buddy was quite fearful and you and Matt taking over the leadership has helped him relax and let you make the decisions. He and Kora are so worth the effort and you know where to find me if you need further help.

Graeme is amazing. The techniques he taught us have worked wonders on Millie. We can open the front door without the risk of her running out. We can go in the car without having to wear earplugs. Our neighbours now like us again as the random barking to stir up the other dogs has nearly stopped. A bit more practice with her walking and we will have the ideal little puppy. All thanks to Graeme “the dog whisperer “. Highly recommended.
Trainer note from Head Office
Millie the Cavoodle responded very well to her new pack leaders. Not having to wear earplugs after just three minutes work in the car was the icing on the cake.Everyone, including Millie now, enjoy the car trips. Always a pleasure to work with clients who embrace the techniques and communicate in the correct way with their four legged companions.

Graeme has helped us a lot with Monty and his barking, recall and walking on the lead as before our visit with Graeme Monty was a bit of a nuisance barker, yapping at anything that walked past our house. He has helped put the training methods in place to turn Monty into a well behaved dog.
Trainer note from Head Office
Monty the Cavoodle did very well and loves pleasing his pack leaders.

Graeme was very knowledgeable and well informed. He was also patient and nonjudgemental. I feel I have already benefited from my first visit.
Trainer note from Head Office
Josie the Papillon started to find there were a few new rules around the house that applied to her and she has a pack leader.

Graeme was fabulous. I learnt so much and Harry responded right away. Was great doing it in my own home not having to go to somewhere with other dogs (socialisation is great but when there are issues not so much). I liked the one on one and found it great value for money.

We were so impressed by the progress we saw in Boof after just one session. Graeme was fantastic. He was very patient and explained everything clearly and simply, giving each of us the confidence to go through the exercises. We were really happy with the training method, which gave us a deeper understanding of our dog's body language as well as our own. It was rewarding for both Boof and ourselves, and it was fun!
Trainer note from Head Office
Boof the Labrador responded beautifully with focus on his human pack leaders. Boof isn`t a dog that responds to food rewards so the Bark Buster techniques are perfect for him. He had a rough start to life with a previous owner. He is now in a loving home with another Labrador named Peggy and is relishing walking on a loose lead. I`m told he used to be quite anxious on walks and was so much more relaxed during the lesson.

It's amazing method of training dog, I can see the changes straightaway. Greame is an excellent trainer, make me understand dog is a pack animal, learn how to lead my dog. Now my dog listen to me, less barking, our daily quality of life become much better.
Trainer note from Head Office
Lucky the Toy Poodle x Shihtzu found out he wasn`t running the show and is learning to calm down and relax when people come to the house, and when he sees other dogs in the park. It`s always a pleasure when the human quality of life improves because of the leadership and consistent effort put in by the owner.

Learnt some new techniques and had fun improving Zima's behaviour. Techniques are good because they are not threatening or using treats. Zima was better on lead and responding well to authoritative commands.
