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! 😃

Hello Kayla, wow, thank you so much for this wonderful review. I had so much fun today with you and Koda. She is just so beautiful and wow what eyes she has, she is so clever and just adorable. Looking forward to our next session and to see how well she has progressed, you did a great job today, onward and upwards. If you need anything at all I’m only a phone call away. Kind Regards Ric

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 :)

Ric was extremely professional, friendly and effective. He familiarised himself with Suki's environment and quickly provided simple and meaningful suggestions to rectify a range of Suki's less desirable behaviours. I am confident that with Ric's patient and clear guidance, I will be able to train my cavoodle to be an obedient, happy and more relaxed member of the household.
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Jenny, Suki is a darling girl, with a little structure she will become even better. Thank you for allowing me to help with your situation and thank you for choosing Bark Busters. Suki was very responsive and she will pick it up very quickly I'm sure of it. I am only a phone call away if and when you need anything, see you in a couple weeks. Thanks you again for this lovely review . Kind Regards Ric

Had the pleasure of working with Ric and our two girls, a 4 year old Bull Arab and a 3 year old kelpie. Our dogs had been having some sibling rivalry which had become too much to manage without keeping them separate. Our Bull Arab is often stubborn but was immediately Ric's best friend and listened intently to Ric's practice and training. Our Kelpie who likes attention was sitting and listening to Ric's instruction and was first time we had seen her not bother a visitor for attention. Both girls were very engaged and attentive to the training and responded very well, it was clear they were enjoying being challenged and learning. For myself and my partner, Ric was excellent in training us as well so we can continue to train our girls to so they feel happy and safe. The training style is very informative and Ric is not judgmental and very supportive, with an approach that while most dog owners do things right, we don't speak dog and we can always be better.

We had a lot of trouble with crate training our puppy. We reached out to Ric from Bark busters and set up a session that week. Ric was kind, patient and taught us so much in just one session. We were blown away with how much progress was made. *Our Hugo is now a happy puppy in the crate and sleeping in our room at night in a safe space with no anxiety or stress from him. Highly recommend!
Trainer note from Ric
*Little Hugo was so scared and just unsure about the crate. With a little encouragement using natural dog techniques and psychology little Hugo would find the crate is actually a great place for him. Thank you Cara for this lovely review, Hugo is so sweet and very loved in your families care I could see you love him very much, he will have a wonderful life. Kindest Regards Ric
