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

Ric dealt with Barking, Recall
Ric was very clear with the training for Stevie. We train her everyday and she is like a different dog, hardly barking and getting better with her recall. I look after her sister a lot and she’s improving too. Thanks Ric for the difference that you’ve made with your training program and schedule.
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you so much for sharing this update. It’s wonderful to hear how well Stevie is responding to the training and that you’re seeing such a positive change in her barking and recall. Your consistency and commitment to the daily practice make all the difference, and it’s great to know her sister is benefiting too. I really appreciate your kind words about the program and training schedule. It’s been a pleasure supporting you, and I’m thrilled to see the progress you’ve created with both dogs. Looking forward to our next session soon. Kind Regards Ric

Ric dealt with Aggression, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
Wow, Chilly respected Ric on arrival. We saw a change in behaviour in the first 10 mins. We appreciated the detailed advice and follow-up email with detailed instruction for us. In two days, Chilly has learned how to walk through doors and walk on a lead without pulling. Highly recommend Ric, worth every penny!

Ric dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Separation anxiety
Ric was very thoughtful and detailed and nurturing. I really appreciated the thought that went into every explanation and demonstration.
We’ve been through quite a journey my pup and I and at times it did feel hopeless, but now after our first session I’m hopeful that we have the right support with Ric!
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Sage, Thank you for your review, when you had told me you have used multiple training programs and had no success, I knew we would be able to help you. We do see many situations like yours, when you focus on dogs natural behaviour and communication rather than new age gimmicks, well the proof is in the results. I'm so happy for you both keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to seeing you in a our next session. Kind Regards Ric

Ric is a great guy, supportive, patient and knowledgeable. In just a short time he assisted our dog with recall, pulling on the lead and jumping in and out of the car. Totally recommend him!

Ric dealt with Barking, Chewing, Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety, Other
Ric is an outstanding trainer. In one session he completely transformed how our dog behaves on the lead, at the door, and around the house. He explains the psychology behind every step, gives clear instructions, and pushes you just enough to actually learn the technique properly. Our dog was calmer, more focused, and more relaxed than we’ve ever seen him. Ric’s approach is practical, fair, and genuinely effective. Highly recommend to anyone wanting real results and a trainer who truly knows his craft.

Ric dealt with Aggression, Barking, Separation anxiety
Ric came and saved our family. We were at our wits end, but after just 1 session with Ric, our German Shepherd did a complete 180. We have been doing our set training each day and our dog has shown a massive improvement. Thank you Ric!
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Tamara, I knew he would make a huge change he is an amazing boy, he was frustrated and in need of the right communication. Often our dogs are misunderstood and when they achieve and become heard they can instantly change for the better. I'm wrapped you are having great results. Thank you for your review. Kindest Regards Ric

Nothing less than immediate results with our boy. From the moment he stepped in the door Ric had our dog behaving so differently we were thoroughly confused as to why it had felt so hard to see change before. Highly recommend Bark Busters and Ric.

I am so grateful for the amazing help we received from Ric! He worked wonders with my puppy Cosmo. His approach was calm, clear, and effective. Cosmo has made incredible progress, and I have learnt so much.
Ric not only provided me with the right tools and techniques but also took the time to answer all our questions and gave me the confidence to handle any situation. Cosmo is now more relaxed, and on the road to being well-behaved, and happier than ever!
We can't recommend Ric enough. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and results-driven dog trainer, look no further!
Thank you again and we are looking forward to our next Training Day.
Dot & Dan.
