Toby is a great dog and I love and depend on him. I lost my husband on Christmas Eve 2020. So it was just Toby and me. I have no next of kin. Toby took over the job of looking after me. He gets me up every morning and then stays with me all day. The only problem was he was so strong he literally could pull me off my feet, I am 76 and having problems walking and getting around. So I called Barkbusters to help me. The training was great and easy. I learned a lot as well as Toby learning.

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!

Kath dealt with Barking, Digging, Jumping up, Pulling, Other
Very impressed. After one session I can walk Jackie without a halti harness and without any pulling on the lead. Kath is friendly and knowledgeable. Her training methods are very effective. Jackie has been noticeably calmer since our training session. I have already recommended Kath/Bark Busters to friends.
Trainer note from Kath
Thank you Hannah, Jackie absolutely adores you and you must be so proud of her seeing how quickly she responded once the communication was clear. She is a very clever KelpieX, so eager to please you! Looking forward to our follow up lesson!

Kath dealt with Aggression, Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
We got Kath out because not only was our dog in need of training, so were we! We had lost our confidence in being able to control her on walks due to her strong pulling on the lead. She was also jumping up, mouthing and racing through gates and doors. Kath came and spent over 3 hours with us, taught the whole family some techniques, and Lexi was learning from the get go. Lexi was calm and relaxed the entire time and never stressed....and neither were we. We will keep practicing the techniques and highly recommend Kath's training.
Trainer note from Kath
Thank you Vicky, it's great to see Lexi is so adored by her family, she is a beautiful girl! As a Doberman cross she's quite a big 10 month old and still has some growing to do, so as you saw her settle down with training you're now back in control and I'm sure your confidence will return in no time. Her confidence in you will grow also which should see a reduction in her anxiety and aggression. Looking forward to our follow up lesson!

It was a surprise to see our dog doing what he was told to do. We learnt so much and so happy with what has been provided. It was like a light bulb moment. What a great service and Kath was very good. Full of information. We have a two year old Maltese/Shitzu cross who because of some early medical issues was what we thought impossible to train, in particular his barking. Well how wrong were we. Along came Kath from Bark busters who spent several hours educating us on the reason Oscar was so mischievous. There has been a remarkable change in him. Kath we can't thank you enough. I commented to the family the night before with some scepticism 'how will she do it' well Kath taught US how to do it. If you have a problem dog then do not hesitate to give Kath a call, she's bloody awesome!
Trainer note from Kath
Thank-you kindly - it's so great to see and hear how effective the training has been to settle Oscar down and stop the constant barking at everyone and everything. I think I did actually see three lightbulbs go off and they are now connected to each other! Fantastic work from you all and your commitment to Oscar, don't forget to get in touch if you want a revisit at any time :)

Kath dealt with Aggression, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety, Sibling rivalry
Excellent! Kath went through everything step by step and showed me how to work with both dogs personalities. One is a neo mastiff who is soft and the other is a kelpie who is easily distracted.
Trainer note from Kath
Thankyou Cassie! It's definitely a great system which can be varied for each dog's individual needs and you have already gotten positive results on day one! Jumping up and listening solved, both dogs are focusing on you and the pulling will soon be a thing of the past using the techniques you learnt. Looking forward to continuing to help as we work towards resovling the sibling rivalry issues.

Mostly happy, certainly with methods to train Kite as advised by Kath. These methods have enabled better behaviour from Kite with barking, jumping up, walking on lead and greeting other people and dogs. We were a little unhappy with not walking Kite down the beach as this was our biggest issue with his behaviour.
Trainer note from Kath
Thankyou Paul, Lovely to hear that Kite is responding well! We both know how lively and energetic a young Parson/Jack Russel is!. The fact that Kite is less reactive is also great to hear, remember to take small steps for best results and not to put him in a stressful situation at the beach at this stage, this is often where there may be too many dogs. Stress free walks is the positive way to go. Looking forward to hearing from you for our follow up visit.

Kath was a wealth of knowledge and took the time to ensure both Mozza and myself and I were ready to continue our training after she had finished. After just one day I have already seen a change in Mozza.
Trainer note from Kath
Thank-you Anne, such an enjoyable lesson with your beautiful Golden Retriever,learning good doggy manners and not needing to bark at everything! Your good communication has helped her with her recall and now she understands not to pull on the lead. Keep up the great work and she'll keep getting better every day!

Fantastic, easy and effective.
Trainer note from Kath
Thank you! Always a pleasure seeing how quickly dogs respond and the beginnings of a new relationship forming. For a pup of only a few months and already weighing in at 20kgs, this sweet but lively Bull ArabX needed some guidance before he developed major problems when full grown. With exuberance and jumping up now under control, we'll work towards preventing him chasing livestock and distance control. He's headed in a new positive direction!

Kath explained in detail how to train Betty and most of all what to do and what not. I was definitely pleased when I saw the results. Having been taught the proper commands both myself and Betty felt things will only improve from here on. It was most interesting and enjoyable, not just for me but also for Betty and I enjoy seeing the changes in her behaviour. Once I saw the positive results by implementing the system, I felt good.
Trainer note from Kath
Thank you and well done for following the training schedule to help with Betty's behaviour problems. It was fantastic to hear how well she is doing with such a reduction in her constant barking and that she is now much more settled at night. Her leadwork is coming along really well at my second visit and she will soon be a delight to enjoy pleasant walks with. Looking forward to more updates on her progress!

Kath was very specific in all her explanation in regards to Betty's training and gave me confidence that with practise I will be able to have the desired outcome. Kath was very professional in her approach, very knowledgeable and showed a caring attitude towards me and Betty. I'm looking forward to further work with Kath and will happily recommend her to anybody who has any issues with their dog.
Trainer note from Kath
Thank you, it was lovely to meet you and assist with Betty's barking and restless behaviour. I'm sure you will have her settled in no time. She is such a sweet little Maltese/Shitzu and an absolute delight to train. Looking forward to returning and helping with her issues when out walking. Lovely to see the happy home she has found with you after being adopted, she's a very lucky girl!

Kath was very knowledgeable and able to answer any questions that I had. She was also calm, confident and patient. The session put my mind at ease that I could rebuild my families relationship with our dogs and we may soon be able to all go out together happily, and safely.
Trainer note from Kath
Very enjoyable lesson with a beautiful cocker spaniel and adorable maltese/shitzu! Both responded so well to you and the issues with jumping up, pulling on lead with aggression to other dogs and separation will soon be a thing of the past. Keep up the good work and looking forward to helping with their progress!
