Ric dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall
Very impressed with Ric, had Poppet under control as soon as he walked in the door. Very intense first session and very knowledgeable about handling dogs. Walking was a huge struggle with constant pulling if other dogs/people around, one session with Ric and walking is actually a joy.
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you for your lovely review. Poppet is so beautiful what an amazing smile she has. With our efforts and our exercises she will calm and begin to relax and show better manners when guests and other people arrive. I'm really looking forward to our next session. Keep up the great work, I am so glad you are beginning to enjoy your walks again, often its the walk that begins to get on our nerves so we begin to walk less and then our dogs start to develop more unwanted behaviours as a result. Great results. Thank you again Kind Regards Ric

Ric dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry
We had exhausted all efforts to try and train dogs ! A dear friend suggested Bark Busters. We kept an open mind as we had trained work dogs! The first time Ric entered our house , there was an instant impact, as his training started right there and then! Within 15 minutes our three stubborn pugs were sitting and listening intently! Ric has a lovely strong but non aggressive nature and approach! Both my daughter and I felt instantly calm. Rick stayed for more than 4 hours showing us and guiding us how to correct our way of having a great relationship with our dogs! To have Rick only a phone call away for the entirety of our dogs life is super comforting. We both would highly recommend Rick for all your dog trainings

Ric was amazing. Very knowledgeable and skilled. He taught Billie and us so much in one lesson, hence we are continuing on for the whole course. Such an easy way to get good results with no harsh treatment or feeding goodies all the time. So happy with his service. Now we practice what we have learned.

Ric dealt with Jumping up, Pulling
I keep loosing my review so this is short and swift! Ric was absolutely fantastic. We have gone from an overexcited, feisty Cavador puppy to a really beautiful puppy who is a pleasure to take out. No jumping, no pulling, no scraping on front door to get to visitors.Thanks heaps Ric. We would never hesitate to get you back if necessary.

Ric dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Recall
As Ric entered we could see the change in approach from the get go. Upon the first lesson on who's in charge we could immediately see a change in Daisy and then her excitement for wanting to learn. It's been a game changer so far and already seeing a happier and more respectful companion towards us. Would recommend 15 times out of 10!
Trainer note from Ric

Honestly, Ric is my super hero!
I had my first session today and I can already feel the relationship between my dog and I has improved! Ric made the whole process SO easy right from the get go. I am clear on all the steps and how to keep at them in the best way for my dogs behaviour, I was able to ask as many questions as I needed and Ric made me feel both comfortable and confident throughout the whole process. I cannot wait to see what the next few weeks hold and am so excited for the next lesson already! 😃

Ric dealt with Aggression, Sibling rivalry
Ric was so kind and attentive when dealing with our dogs’ sibling rivalry. We have seen so much progress in the last couple months thanks to his help. We have a better bond with our dogs and we understand them more than ever before. Thank you Ric!!
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Chloe, I'm so happy you have turned your situation around, Sibling rivalry can be a horrible situation to deal with and can often lead to rehoming or euthanising. This is the worst result for any pack/family. This is why we trainers love this work we do, seeing great result like yours, Thank you for hard work and allowing me to assist with your pack, Well done great work Chloe!

Really really happy with Ric and his help with our two little rascals. He absolutely knew his stuff, was very informative and listened to our needs well. He explained things so well and we covered a great amount in the first lesson . I'm excited to see improvements over the next few weeks. I'm so happy I made this investment to make both our lives and our dogs lives better :)
