Wow, after only one hour our dogs were not jumping, not running to the front door. Amazing service. So easy, just do it.

I am surprised at how quickly the training was effective. I was at my wits end with my dog and really needed a solution. Honey took to the training straight away and by the end of the lesson, had changed some of her ways. Philippa was lovely and very informative. I would highy recommend her services.

Philippa is amazing! She understood our concerns and explained, in plain English, the reasons why and how to deal with them. She is always available for questions and advice.
Her techniques and expertise are valuable and truly work. We're still very early in our training but we are seeing signs of improvement!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and Bark Busters Home Training.

Phillipa was fantastic on the day teaching a totally different way of training my Pomeranians. It’s so easy it has become an every day part of life. Phillippa’s calm and positive nature was a breath of fresh air. Training was at my pace and nothing like puppy school where you do this, this and this etc. I would highly recommend Phillippa and Bark Busters to anyone.
Trainer note from Philippa
Thank you for the review. It was a pleasure to train with you and beautiful Smudge 5 years and Splat 10 m. Helping with barking, boundaries and other behaviour. They are part of a great pack. Well done Helen for picking up so well on the training and following through.

Philippa dealt with Barking, Chewing, Digging, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Philippa has been a game changer with our two border collies Merlot (3) and Pinot (9mo). Both requiring different behavioral issues to be rectified, and she did so with ease, grace and kindness. We’ve been equipped with many techniques that have seen impressive results in a matter of days. We’re much happier and so are our dogs - a worthwhile, life long investment! Highly recommend.

Philippa dealt with Barking, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
Our first day of training our dog Primo was great! Solutions that we had not been able to control our dog in before became easier. In a moment of desperation for someone who could help us. Bark Busters was the best option! The fact that they do not train with rewards is amazing. It has only been a week and we can see huge changes in our beloved dog.
Trainer note from Philippa
Great to be able to see Primo, the handsome sable Akita responding so well. Helping with barking and howling, lead walking and distance control. Well done to his owners for embracing the training to get the results (and no food treating involved). Speaking dog the Bark Busters way.
