Philippa dealt with Pulling, Recall, Other

Very informative 1st session ( 3 hrs ) with Phillipa, the way she explained communication techniques with dogs was fantastic, so basic but so effective. The change in Odin is just incredible.

- T.K, Sanctuary Point (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Excellent to see Odin a 7year old English Staffi respond so well. Helping with recall, loose lead walking and much more. He was a great student! I look forward to providing ongoing support.

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

Philippa had an immediate, impact upon Otto’s behaviour from the moment she walked through the gate. The simple techniques she demonstrated to manage controlling spaces and doorways, chewing, getting in and out of the car, to name a few, were amazing. I was able to achieve similar results when Philippa left. For the first time I did not have a puppy under my feet in the kitchen, nose in the fridge, dishwasher, cupboards etc and go in and out of doors first without being knocked out of the way. I’m looking forward to continued improvements, tips and support throughout Otto’s life.

Trainer note from Philippa
Great to meet and help Otto a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy. Starting Bark Busters training as he grows and matures to help with many of his behaviours. Keep up the good consistent training and I look forward to the next time.

Philippa dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling

Thanks for all your excellent advice and the skills you have given us to help with our dogs. It's definitely a work in progress, but we feel that you have put us on the right path.

- L.H, Crace (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
Well done. Great to help you, and Archie and Dixie the Kelpie crosses, and Pinto the terrier going forward on the right paws! Addressing barking, recall, general behaviour, reactivity and giving them confidence in their good kind leaders. I look forward to seeing the progress at the next training session.

Philippa dealt with Barking, Chewing, Hyperactivity, Puppy management, Recall, Sibling rivalry, Toileting

So far we have had one in-person session with Bark Busters for our new pup and within a few days we have witnessed monumental changes in his behaviour (and ours). Philippa is extremely professional and understood exactly what we were looking for in order to make our pup a part of the family. Philippa took as much time as was needed to ensure we had confidence in managing an energetic pup, as well as conducting follow-up emails and phone calls to ensure everything is going as planned. I was recommended Bark Busters by a family member residing in another state and from what I can tell the quality of training seems to be set at a high standard across the board. I would have absolutely no reservations about recommending Bark Busters to anyone looking to strengthen their relationship with their pup.

- A.B, Banks (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
9 week old Labrador puppy Macca is having a great start in life now happily settling in with his new caring pack. Helping with puppy management and preventing unwanted puppy behaviour. I look forward to the next session. Well done!

Philippa dealt with Chewing, Digging, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall

Within 5 minutes of Phillipa coming through gate she instructed me what to do in the situation to having a dog that wanted to run and jump all over her to sitting beside me . Phillipa has a very calming influence and showed us quite clear instructions so we could understand from a dogs point of view . We feel more confident and positive that we will be able to have Murphy listening and paying attention with the training she has set out for us to do . Feeling very happy by the end of our 1st trading session.Knowing help is always on hand is a nice feeling .Thankyou Philippa Carol & Tony

- C.K, Vincentia (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
Welcome Murphy, a handsome Airedale Terrier to the Bark Busters family. Helping Murphy to learn not to jump on people, walk well on the lead, and come when called. Well done Carol and Tony. Keep up speaking dog! Training support is always on hand.

Philippa dealt with Barking, Pulling, Recall

I have been trying for years to get my dogs to behave and after multiple other training techniques offered I have had the most success with the Bark Busters method. Pip is absolutely amazing. She is kind and clear and very committed. It is still early days but I feel we are in very good hands with Pip. I know she will get us to where we would like the dogs to be. Thank you Pip!!!

- G.W, Parkes (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
Always great to see the dogs responding so well. Helping Dusty the Labrador and Lexie the Schnoodle to walk calmly on a loose lead, creating some inside boundaries, learning to relax and come when called. Well done Gen and Todd! I look forward to the next time.

2nd February 2023 - Philippa Dakin

Philippa dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling, Recall

Our little cocker spaniel is still our darling Alfie - but much happier, more obedient and calmer. Phillipa was clear and direct in her instructions, so me and my partner are on the same page. We can't believe the difference after only one session.

- A.M, Milton (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
Great to see Alfie responding so well, and have the opportunity to train with his family. He loves being in a strong pack with good leadership and being able to relax more. I look forward to the next training.

12th January 2023 - Philippa Dakin

Philippa dealt with Aggression

Some very useful strategies to control her on leash. Collar and leash supplied makes training much easier. It is not a quick fix. Consistent training is needed. Time and patience is required to train our gentle but fearful adopted dog.

- E.H, Narrawallee (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
Pippa has now found her forever loving home with her owners embracing the training with patience, and giving her the best education to help her with confidence and trust.

Philippa dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Puppy management

Phillipa was very clear with her instructions on how to manage our puppy to achieve successful outcomes. We were very pleased with the ongoing support available for the life of Roxy. Phillipa was fantastic with all of us as soon as she walked through the door. I would highly recommend her services.

- E.K, Jerrabomberra (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
Great to see Roxy responding so well, and helping the family with puppy management. Well done to everyone. Ongoing support is always available with our life of the puppy training guarantee.

Philippa dealt with Barking, Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Puppy management, Recall, Other

Phillipa was fantastic at her job, was really good at training Archie especially with the issue we had with Archie and the cat I would highly recommend her and the Bark busters organisation.

- S.M, Surfbeach (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
Great to help this smart Jack Russell Terrier to put the best paw forward. Helping with Archie and behaviour towards the cat, recall, and only coming up when invited. Well done to Suzanne and Archie. Both are quick learners!

6th July 2022 - Philippa Dakin

The training was fantastic and made such a difference, even after the first visit. Even family members visiting shortly after commented on him being a completely different dog. There is still a lot of work for me to do with him over time, but it has been fantastic and I am very confident that we will get there. I would recommend Bark Busters to anyone looking for help in any regards with their dog.

25th June 2022 - Philippa Dakin

Philippa was fantastic with Rebel. We learnt a lot in a short amount of time and Rebel responded well to Philippa. Now that our commands are consistent Rebel is responding much better. Philippa followed up the next day to see how things were going. We had used Bark Busters a long time ago and knew that we would be in good hands. Philippa didn't disappoint, and her knowledge was extensive and her love of dogs was obvious.We would highly recommend Philippa and Bark Busters to anyone requiring assistance with their dogs.
