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.

Reggie 5 months old Cavoodle had his first training session with Philippa yesterday. Philippa asked about what problems and/or changes I would like fixed and then took me through some dog speak and psychology. Although I had been training Reggie since he was 8 weeks old, to sit, lay, etc. he started to get very stubborn and started to choose if he would ignore me or not, at times putting himself in danger by running out the front door and across the road and chasing Kangaroos and he would Bark and Bark at the slightest sound! On our first session, Philippa implemented some of the behaviour changes I had had requested and you could see he started thinking about what he was going to do. Yes, he still had some stubborn moments which Philippa very professionally overcame the problem quickly. Philippa was very knowledgeable pulling out tricks of her own to immediately deal with his behaviour, never once coming in contact, and using her voice with the dog in a gentle manner. Reggie responded so well. I was starting to struggle and now felt encouraged knowing what a great decision it was to have him trained, I can’t wait to see the result. Philippa rang the next day to check how we were going and if we had any questions, which impressed me. Highly recommend Philippa’s service.

We couldn't thank Bark b Busters enough with our 2 beautiful boys. We learnt a lot ourselves in training our boys and they both seem much happier.

Phillipa is an excellent trainer whom we highly recommend. Following the adoption of our very large and excitable dog, Phillipa provided us with a variety of training techniques. This has enabled us to control undesired behaviour and made walking on the lead less stressful and thus more enjoyable. Phillipa is extremely patient and encouraging. She continues to provide ongoing support to us as we begin to introduce our dog to our cat.

Philippa dealt with Pulling, Recall, Other

Philippa was an excellent support and teacher for Kai and I. She has a professional and kind manner and is really passionate about dogs and training. Her love of animals is really clear and she backs this up with knowledge and confidence. Just what we needed. Kai is a rescue dog with some anxious and skittish behaviours that I wasnt sure how to handle and Philippa was very clear and has put us on a great path. With Philippa's help, Kai walks really well on a lead now, and has her own bed (before she really 'owned' the couch) which she now understands is hers. We have a bit of a long road ahead, but I am so grateful for Philippa's help and guidance.

Trainer note from Philippa
How rewarding to help with Kai's transition into her new pack. She was rescued from a tricky start in life, and is now in her forever home with a dedicated and wise leader. Great progress.
