Wow, after only one hour our dogs were not jumping, not running to the front door. Amazing service. So easy, just do it.
Trainer note from Philippa
Great to meet the family. Bella and Millie two female French Bull Dogs. Such lovely girls and responding so well to Bark Busters training. Helping with sibling rivalry, and knowing what is expected of them. Happy relaxed dogs during the training and well done Pack Leaders for following through.

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

Philippa dealt with Digging, Pulling, Recall, Other
Philippa provided exceptional training skills to help support our 8mth very anxious border collie. She gave clarity and confidence about how to best train our young dog that we saw had an immediate and positive impact on our dog's behaviour.
We have since kept up the training schedule provided and continue to see improvements with obedience and overall reduction in our dog's anxiety.
We highly recommend Philippa from Bark Busters to anyone who wants confidence to invest in their dog's future.

Philippa dealt with Barking, Recall
Philippa came to our home on a Sunday morning to help us with advice training our 6 year old, ex breeder, rescue Cavalier Ruby. We had been unsuccessful for over 12 months to stop her barking and understanding our commands. Philippa had Ruby understanding these issues very quickly and we have been able to continue this training ourselves with a little effort each day. We are amazed at her progress!!! Her anxiety also seems to have settled down somewhat too. We would definitely recommend Philippa and Bark Busters to anyone who needs help with their dogs. Worth every dollar we paid!!!
Trainer note from Philippa
Ruby has now found her forever home and great pack to be part of. Ruby is a 6year old ex breeder rescue King Charles Cavalier. She is loving building trust and respect with her new leaders speaking dog. Well done and I look forward to the onward journey.
