So amazing, really informative and so helpful, realising that we don’t ALWAYS need treats and it’s more about her just listening and that she wants to learn. It’s been almost a week and she’s already improved so much with our consistency
She no longer pulls on the lead ! I have done a post in my community page to really promote Kia

Our first meeting with Kia Parke was via Skype. Kia explained everything we had to do very clearly and the reasoning behind the techniques we were using, so I had a better understanding, which was fantastic. When doing the Lead work Kia used one of her own dogs to visually instruct me, on how to correctly use the items provided in the Lifetime Guarantee Pack, which was great. A reminder of our training instructions for the issues we are addressing have been emailed, to ensure we continue to do the techniques each day correctly, which is great. Our next Skype and Face to Face meetings have already been booked.

Kia, you were amazing with Olive. We’ve had a very successful first week of training. I can’t wait to see how she continues to progress.
Trainer note from Kia
Thankyou so much for a fabulous review. Olive was an amazing sport, I'm looking forward to seeing her development and walking her in the big wide world with you very soon!

Easy going training package. Well demonstrated and interactive with me and whisky. It day showed 1 of 6 problem areas sorted. Day 2 delivery driver and control of dog was established. These reviews though should be after a few weeks to allow a full show of responses and training by the owner under the instructions of bark Busters. Or adjust the questions to are you encouraged enough to follow thru with the training etc. The following question relate to the problems being resolved rather than " is the animal showing improvements" in the following. Thus the 3 stars at present and if I continue and achieve all objectives I would upgrade to 5 stars.
Trainer note from Kia
Whisky is a big boy, with an even bigger heart. He just needed a little tweak in behaviour and very soon he will be strutting himself with you along the road. Looking forward to meeting up with you very soon!

Kia was absolutely amazing, she was quick to respond after our call for help and got straight to work our Maremma, Kody was very happy to comply with the commands and instruction given and learnt quickly the do's and don'ts of the program and within a few hours he seems calmer and more relaxed with other external noises , cant wait to continue our training with our boy to further enrich our lives together, thank you Kia and Bark Busters

Very impressed with the results the change in our dog's behaviour was so obvious and fast. No more pulling on the lead, unnecessary barking and playing silly games when called. Thank you so much Kia for your help!

My partner and I discovered Bark Busters when we visited a friend of ours and their beautiful staffy, Bentley.
We were used to being greeted by Bentleys heavy paws jumping all over us, but this time was different. Bentley was sat in the hallway waiting politely. Since that day we saw Bentley respond to our friends every command and became relaxed and happy. His owners were equally relaxed and happy, having learned to speak dog.
We didn't own a dog at the time but we knew who we were 'gonna call' when we did because the training speaks for itself! Then along came the most perfect Corgi puppy you've ever seen, George. George had his first visit with Kia from Bark Busters Townsville at 14 weeks old. Booking the appointment was excellent.
The lady on the phone answered all of our questions and put us in touch with Kia. Kia was so delighted to meet George and it was obvious to us immediately how passionate she is about her job. Very soon after we were blown away by her ability to communicate with our puppy and show him, and us, what good behaviour looks like.
After the first visit George was a changed pooch. The things we had struggled so much with ie. Running through doors, biting and jumping were virtually non existent. Kia offered us expert advice on diet, exercise and toilet training and has been completely available for any of our concerns. Kia has always been flexible and accomodating, meeting us for training both at home and in public, allowing us to take our time, addressing any and all concerns we have had and making us feel that there are no silly questions.
Through Bark Busters George has learned how to sit and wait while doors are opened, to stay when told, to not bite, to not jump, to enter rooms only when invited, to walk properly on his lead, to socialise with our friend's dogs, to leave our shoes and socks alone, to only jump on the lounge when invited and to come when called to name a few.
Thanks to Kia, we enjoy a happy household of positive communication with our dog. We wouldn't have it any other way.
Thank you Bark Busters for teaching us to speak dog!

This simple technique is amazing, I can't believe how easy and effective it is. Getting results in the first day was simply mind blowing. Three days later and I am just thrilled to bits. I am so happy I am recommending Kia to everyone!!!

Kia was fantastic with teaching us what we need to be doing to help our dogs with their behaviour. She was friendly, approachable, caring and kind and showed us some simple things we can be doing to help our dogs to become Angels. We are very excited to continue working with our dogs after learning a few quick and easy things we can be doing with them! Thanks Kia!

Kia was most informative and knowledgeable in passing on the best and most effective way to instill respect in my dogs. From very naughty to well on the way to being better behaved in a matter of 2 hours in one session is amazing and most welcome.

The service provided was 5 Star and the program truly does get results! Kia was so amazing! She made myself and my dogs feel at ease during training. Now thanks to her I have very well behaved dogs. It is definitely worth doing and shouldn't be used as a last resort!
