An amazing start to Fia's training. I couldn't believe we had results so quickly. And Phillipa is lovely.

It was great to help Fia an 11year old Moodle with her behavior and preparing her for her journey to live with her family overseas. Helping with Barking, jumping, lead walking, boundaries and crate training. Well Done.

My wife and I are so grateful to Philippa for the instant calming effect she had on our puppy, Charlotte, who seemed almost out of control at times. After only the first lesson we are much better able to communicate with our puppy and are well on our way to correcting so many of her bad behaviours.

- S.B, Cambewarra (Testimonial)

Good work Steve and Marilyn and of course beautiful intelligent, lively, Groodle Charlotte. Keep up speaking dog. Helping with jumping, boundaries and loose lead walking. Great to meet you and Charlotte. I look forward to seeing you again.

Very clear approach to training that has been very doable and practical thus far. Philippa was very helpful, answering all of our questions and giving us solutions that have helped us to lead our dog better by showing us how to “speak dog.” I highly recommend Philippa, who is an attentive and kind professional.

- L.M, Gungahlin (Testimonial)

From the minute Philippa walked through my gate Waffle was submissive - not in a bad or scared way. He didn’t jump or bark or be his usual annoying self. It was amazing to see! During the initial session the techniques and tools I learned were simple and easy to do which within such a short space of time saw remarkable improvements with my dog. Lots of practice (for me) to reinforce the methods but so pleased with the results in the first 24 hours.

- K.C, Denman Prospect (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
Great to hear that Waffle is responding well. Well done Kimberlee. Wafffle is a lovely smart sensitive Labradoodle. Helping with barking, jumping, recall, boundaries and learning to relax. I look forward to the next time.

25th January 2024 - Philippa Dakin

Philippa was knowledgeable, patient and attentive during our session. She addressed all issues I had concerned with my German Shepard, Jaffa. From barking, fence jumping and walking on the lead. I highly recommend her as Jaffa’s behaviour improved within minutes. She provided handy tips and booklets with everything I needed to continue training Jaffa for a better quality of life for both me and my dog.

- T.L, Culburra Beach (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
Both Talia and Jaffa are great students and focused throughout practicing the training. They are set for success. With lifetime support training support is only a call away. Well Done to the pack!

Philippa dealt with Aggression, Recall, Other

Philippa was amazing with helping Digby and me understand techniques on how to improve his behavior. The session was so valuable! Philippa answered every question that I had and also providing really useful examples and then helped me practice. Not only did we work on the issues that I had requested but Philippa also identified other areas that would be useful for our family. 6stars!

8th November 2023 - Philippa Dakin

Philippa dealt with Chewing, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall

Philippa was wonderful - she took the time to understand our issues and the personalities of both dogs. She was not judgmental or negative at all, and tailored the training and instructions to how we wanted our dogs to behave within our home. We have two dogs, and after the first session both were sound asleep because they’d definitely had a good mental workout! Our youngest (9 m/o puppy) has taken very well to the techniques Philippa showed us, and is already doing much better. Our older dog (2.5 y/o) has shown some improvement, but I’m looking forward to the follow-up session to understand what more we can do to stop the barking. I will note that our older dog was quite well behaved when Philippa was around, and the technique she showed us has been helpful somewhat, but will likely require more time and training to really see results. I was most impressed with the fact that the techniques shown are part of an overall system that you can apply to a lot of different situations. You can see from the first session how getting your dogs to understand this communication style will apply across lots of different scenarios, and this has been very useful with our younger dog.

- K.L, Gungahlin (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
Thank you for the review. Both dogs and their leaders did so well. Great to know they are both responding to the Bark Busters training. I look forward to supporting you as you continue to make progress and put the training into place.

Philippa dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall

Philippa was very professional with her approach when listening to our concerns and explaining techniques. She made sure all our concerns were covered also treating Nellie and Lulu gently and with patience. Nellie and Lulu have responded unbelievably well, so well even the neighbors have commented how quiet it is. With still a little way to go we couldn't recommend Philippa from Bark Busters enough. Money well spent!

- A.G, TOMAKIN (NSW) (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
Great to welcome Lulu to the Bark Busters family and train with Nellie now 8 years again, with lifetime support. Helping with some sibling rivalry, barking and recall. Well done to everyone. Thank you for choosing Bark Busters and for the lovely review. So good to know the progress.

Philippa dealt with Chewing, Puppy management, Recall, Toileting, Other

I enjoyed this first lesson! All the information was so helpful! My main issue was my dog getting out of our bed and sleeping in his crate. After this one session, my 13 week old puppy now sleeps happily in his crate without crying!

- S.S, Gordon (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
Great to train with you and your clever Dalmation x Dachshund puppy Spotty. Helping with recall, start of loose lead walking boundaries and crate training. Good to hear he is enjoying his own special place to rest and relax. Well done!
