Ric dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
Ric is amazing. Only after the first session our dog Sky started behaving so much better. She jumps up much less, more attentive and much calmer only after two days. She is also getting much better at back lead walking. Yet to see if she could overcome separation anxiety and reactiveness towards other dogs, but having seen she changed so quickly after the first session really looking forward to seeing her progress.
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you so much for sharing this update about Sky. It’s wonderful to hear how quickly she’s responded after just one session. Seeing her calmer, more attentive, and jumping less in only a couple of days is fantastic, and I’m really glad the back‑lead walking is already improving as well. Separation anxiety and reactivity will take a little more time, this will be covered in our next sessions. Importantly Sky has shown she’s capable of making great changes very quickly. I’m really looking forward to continuing the journey with you both and helping her build confidence in those areas too. Thanks again for your kind words — I’m excited to see her progress. Kind Regards Ric

Ric dealt with Jumping up, Pulling
Brilliant first training lesson, can’t wait for the next one. Ric is a true professional and worked wonders.
One word, unbelievable. Bark Busters should be very proud of the fact that they have somebody like Ric working for them. He has not only transformed our dog Kora but, also the way we are going to approach her training as well as our own.
We are very much looking forward to Ric’s next visit in a fortnight .
Thanks Ric it was awesome.

Ric was incredible with my dogs! He was patient, knowledgeable and really took the time to understand them as individuals. We saw such a positive difference from his training, and I couldn’t recommend him enough. Thank you, Ric! 🐾❤️

Ric dealt with Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Toileting
Ric was amazing in helping us prepare our dog for the arrival of our new born. He was attentive and passionate about helping us train our dog to be more receptive on walks, around the house, and to transition our boy into sleeping in a different area of the house. We are so excited about the progress we have made with just a few sessions and thankful to Ric for his help through the journey. Could not recommend him highly enough.
Trainer note from Ric

I’m really proud of the progress you’ve made in just a few sessions, and I’m grateful to be part of your journey during such an exciting time for your family.

Ric dealt with Barking, Pulling, Recall
Ric was amazing. Very professional and full of knowledge. The training he did in the first session helped Bonnie so much, she has already come on in leaps and bounds since only seeing Ric once. We are extremely happy with his service.
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I’m really glad to hear how well Bonnie has taken to the training and that you’re already seeing such great progress after just one session.

We had a great training experience, Ric was fantastic, the way he explained about talking dog. We have continued the process and our very barky pooch has really quietened down in just 24 hours. I would highly recommend Ric to anyone who has a reactive and barky dog.
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Janet Thank you so much for sharing this — I’m really glad you both enjoyed the session. It was a pleasure working with you and your boy, and it’s wonderful to hear how quickly he’s settling and finding his calm. Those early shifts can feel huge, and they’re a great sign of what’s possible with a bit of consistency. You’ve clearly put the work in at home, and it shows. I’m thrilled you’re seeing such a difference already. I truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation. It means a lot. Kind Regards Ric

Ric dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall
My partner and I are so glad we reached out to Ric! From the get go, Ric was very friendly and approachable! He took note of our boy River’s behavioural problems and put together a training plan, suited to River’s needs. Ric explained what was expected of us very clearly.
River is taking to training really well and we have already noticed immediate results!
We look forward to our next lesson with Ric!
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you so much for the lovely message. It was great meeting you both and getting to know River — he’s such a sweet boy, and I’m really glad to hear you’re already seeing changes. I’m happy the plan feels clear and easy to follow. You’ve both jumped into the training with such a positive attitude, and River is responding beautifully because of it. I’m really looking forward to our next session and building on the great progress he’s already making. Thanks again for taking the time to share this. Kind Regards Ric

Ric dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management
Excellent trainer with outstanding noticeable results even from initial visit.
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you very much for this lovely review. I’m so glad you’re experiencing the same results that so many others have — when we communicate more clearly and understand our dogs on a deeper level, the changes can be remarkable. It’s always rewarding to see those shifts happen so early on, and I’m thrilled you’re already noticing such a positive difference. Kind Regards Ric

Ric dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Separation anxiety
I found the training very effective and professional. My dog was a different dog the next day when I went to train him. He responded well to most of the exercises. Those in which he didn't respond well was due to me not following the correct instructions. I have reread the notes and today he was much more obedient.
I have been in awe of the change in him.
This training is highly recommended.
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you so much for sharing this feedback. I’m really glad to hear how well your dog responded and that you noticed such a positive change so quickly. It’s completely normal for a few exercises to feel challenging at first, and it says a lot about your commitment that you revisited the notes and saw an even better result the next day. Your consistency is what creates lasting progress, and it’s wonderful to hear you’re already experiencing that shift. I truly appreciate your recommendation and the trust you’ve placed in the training. It’s been a pleasure supporting you both. Thank you Kind Regards Ric

Ric dealt with Barking, Recall, Other
I was thrilled at the immediate positive response from Pippa and confidently believe I will achieve what has been clearly set out for me to follow. I am sure I will become more fluent in 'Dog'. Would recommend Ric to any owner with a dog behaviour problem.
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. It was wonderful to see Pippa respond so positively right from the start, and I’m really pleased to hear you’re feeling confident moving forward. You’ve taken on the guidance beautifully, and becoming more fluent in “dog” is exactly what sets you and Pippa up for long‑term success. I truly appreciate your recommendation. It means a lot, and I’m glad to be part of Pippa’s progress.

We can't recommend Rick highly enough. He was amazing.
We had an issue with introducing an excitable Boxer with a small puppy and were so worried about the puppy getting hurt.
Within an hour of being shown how to introduce them and how to manage the older dog, they were later that day laying together, walking around like life long mates.
He also taught us how to walk the Boxer so we are in control and not being pulled. Well worth the money paid and would recommend him to anyone who is having problems with behaviour or just want a well trained dog.
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. I’m really glad to hear how beautifully George and Poppy have settled together, once the right structure is in place life long bonds are made. It’s always rewarding for me to see the shift when customers go from worry to happy glow when harmony is enabled, especially in situations where size and energy levels can feel overwhelming. I’m so thrilled the walking techniques have made such a difference too. When you’re in control and your dog understands what’s expected, everything becomes more enjoyable for both of you. I truly appreciate your recommendation and the trust you placed in me. It was a pleasure working with both you and your dogs, and I’m so glad you’re seeing such positive results and fast too. If you ever need support down the track, I’m always here to help. Thank you Ric
