Philippa dealt with Pulling
Hi Philipa. Colin is going really good. His walking is about 85 percent better. t's early days though. His reaction to other dogs has been great. No barking at them, just a slight pull, but we and are working on that and we won't let him off the hook. It's so much easier to walk him and he is much more relaxed. Thank you again for your knowledge and information.
Trainer note from Philippa
Great to hear that Colin the lovely Cavoodle is learning to walk on a loose lead beside you and not reacting to other dogs. More enjoyable walks for everyone. I am glad to be of help. Keep up the good training.

I couldn’t be happier with the service we received and the outcome for our dog Kevin. I was amazed how effective the adjustments we were shown have worked and how quickly they have helped change some of his bad behaviours. I’d strongly recommend Philippa to anyone who is having any problems with their dog, as our experience was great!
Trainer note from Philippa
Great to know you have been able to implement the training to develop the communication and respect to make the changes. Such a handsome German Shepherd boy.

Philippa dealt with Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Other
We’ve had two fantastic sessions with Philippa, and the difference has been amazing! She came to our home on the weekends, bringing training equipment and providing a clear, engaging session that included a PowerPoint and hands-on strategies.
Philippa helped us with foundational skills like clear communication, managing visitors, loose lead walking, and reactivity. We were able to practice her strategies in real time during a walk in our local area. After each session, she sent detailed summaries and helpful handouts, which have been invaluable.
Before Philippa, we were overwhelmed and getting nowhere with random online resources. Now, we feel confident, less stressed, and have a clear way forward with our Border Collie puppy.
We’re so grateful for her support!
Trainer note from Philippa
It's been a pleasure to help Bowie always put the best paw forward the Bark Busters way! Well done for embracing the training. Such a smart lovely Boy. He is in a great pack and loves the leadership.

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.

Phillipa was very helpful and clear in all her instructions. I’m feeling more comfortable and confident dealing with my puppy
Trainer note from Philippa
Lovely to meet and train with you and Quiche a 6m old Cavoodle, and help with recall, jumping, mouthing, boundaries and some lead walking. She is a quick learner and did so well on the day the Bark Busters way. Happy puppy days.
