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.

Ric dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Ric was professional in following up on our enquiries and arrived on time for our first session. He explained things very clearly and was patient with our questions. Ric is obviousy passionate about dog training and this could be clearly seen in how he dealt with our dog on the day. We look forward to the remaining sessions as we are already seeing results with our Doberman. Thanks Ric!

RIC was verry professional and extremely knowledgeable. He explained the process thoroughly and worked with both of our dogs. The results were fantastic. With noticeable improvements in the first session. Highly recommend his services to anyone looking to improve their relationship with their dogs.

Ric dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Separation anxiety
Highly recommend Ric from Bark Busters. I have 2 German shepherds that are great dogs but needed just a little tweaking and in my first session I was able to learn the right correction technique for helping my dogs make decisions for themselves. I loved the fact that Ric came to my home to see my dogs in their environment and he spent a considerable amount of time just explaining everything to me so I now am confident in understanding my dogs needs and become the leader they need.
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with your two German Shepherds, and I’m glad the first in‑home session has helped your confidence and adding good techniques and understanding to your training and their needs. They’re fantastic dogs, and your commitment to learning and leading them will make all the difference as they continue to grow. Kind Regards Ric

We were absolutely blown away with Ric’s knowledge and approach to the boys. We first contacted Ric to seek help with getting our dogs be able to leave the cat alone and to share living spaces. After the first session, we were able to see how effective this training will be! We’re very excited to continue the training and see the changes with the dogs.
Trainer note from Ric
Hello, Thank you for your review, those two boys are just lovely dogs. Their games are just a bit full on, continue with the exercises and your progress will grow. Remember until our next session if you need anything, I'm only a phone call away, Looking forward to our next session see you soon.

From first contact to our first session with Richard Kennedy, it was very comforting to have such empathy and understanding. Can't believe the transformation already after the first session. It's like our Tessa was waiting for us to step up. I was crying after following our trainer's directions and seeing our girl respond like she knew what she had to do. Bloody wish we had done this sooner🙏🏽🐾❤️
