Ric dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Ric was professional in following up on our enquiries and arrived on time for our first session. He explained things very clearly and was patient with our questions. Ric is obviousy passionate about dog training and this could be clearly seen in how he dealt with our dog on the day. We look forward to the remaining sessions as we are already seeing results with our Doberman. Thanks Ric!

Ric dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Separation anxiety
Highly recommend Ric from Bark Busters. I have 2 German shepherds that are great dogs but needed just a little tweaking and in my first session I was able to learn the right correction technique for helping my dogs make decisions for themselves. I loved the fact that Ric came to my home to see my dogs in their environment and he spent a considerable amount of time just explaining everything to me so I now am confident in understanding my dogs needs and become the leader they need.
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with your two German Shepherds, and I’m glad the first in‑home session has helped your confidence and adding good techniques and understanding to your training and their needs. They’re fantastic dogs, and your commitment to learning and leading them will make all the difference as they continue to grow. Kind Regards Ric

Ric dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Separation anxiety
Ric was very thoughtful and detailed and nurturing. I really appreciated the thought that went into every explanation and demonstration.
We’ve been through quite a journey my pup and I and at times it did feel hopeless, but now after our first session I’m hopeful that we have the right support with Ric!
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Sage, Thank you for your review, when you had told me you have used multiple training programs and had no success, I knew we would be able to help you. We do see many situations like yours, when you focus on dogs natural behaviour and communication rather than new age gimmicks, well the proof is in the results. I'm so happy for you both keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to seeing you in a our next session. Kind Regards Ric

We were absolutely blown away with Ric’s knowledge and approach to the boys. We first contacted Ric to seek help with getting our dogs be able to leave the cat alone and to share living spaces. After the first session, we were able to see how effective this training will be! We’re very excited to continue the training and see the changes with the dogs.
Trainer note from Ric
Hello, Thank you for your review, those two boys are just lovely dogs. Their games are just a bit full on, continue with the exercises and your progress will grow. Remember until our next session if you need anything, I'm only a phone call away, Looking forward to our next session see you soon.

Ric dealt with Aggression, Barking, Separation anxiety
Ric came and saved our family. We were at our wits end, but after just 1 session with Ric, our German Shepherd did a complete 180. We have been doing our set training each day and our dog has shown a massive improvement. Thank you Ric!
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Tamara, I knew he would make a huge change he is an amazing boy, he was frustrated and in need of the right communication. Often our dogs are misunderstood and when they achieve and become heard they can instantly change for the better. I'm wrapped you are having great results. Thank you for your review. Kindest Regards Ric

Nothing less than immediate results with our boy. From the moment he stepped in the door Ric had our dog behaving so differently we were thoroughly confused as to why it had felt so hard to see change before. Highly recommend Bark Busters and Ric.

We had a lot of trouble with crate training our puppy. We reached out to Ric from Bark busters and set up a session that week. Ric was kind, patient and taught us so much in just one session. We were blown away with how much progress was made. *Our Hugo is now a happy puppy in the crate and sleeping in our room at night in a safe space with no anxiety or stress from him. Highly recommend!
Trainer note from Ric
*Little Hugo was so scared and just unsure about the crate. With a little encouragement using natural dog techniques and psychology little Hugo would find the crate is actually a great place for him. Thank you Cara for this lovely review, Hugo is so sweet and very loved in your families care I could see you love him very much, he will have a wonderful life. Kindest Regards Ric

Ric was amazing with our dachshund Daisy!
He gave us simple corrections to follow when she is reactive that we are looking forward to working on with her. She responded so well to the training in the first session with Ric! He has a really good way with dogs. We have been given a clear training schedule to work on before our next session in two weeks time. Excited to see the progress with his training methods.
Trainer note from Ric

Can’t wait to hear about your progress and looking forward to our next in home training session. See you soon Kind Regards Ric
