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!

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 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!!

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.

Ric dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Separation anxiety
Effective and easy to implement techniques were taught to help with an over excited teen multipoo. Grateful to Rick!
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m really glad the techniques were helpful for your enthusiastic little Maltipoo teen. She was a joy to work with, and seeing her respond so well so quickly is fantastic. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to support you both. Looking forward to seeing her progress continue.

Ric dealt with Barking, Digging, Jumping up, Pulling, Toileting
We were very impressed with Ric’s approach to helping us deal with a six month old pup which had had no previous training.
The problems we made him aware of were recognized and addressed with positive results.
We will certainly continue with his recommended training regime and look forward to having a well behaved adolescent dog!
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. It was a pleasure working with your young pup, and I’m really glad to hear that the early changes are already making a difference. At six months, he’s at a perfect age to start building good habits, and your commitment to the process will set him up beautifully as he grows. I’m delighted that the areas of concern were addressed in a way that felt clear and effective for you. Consistency with the training regime will continue to strengthen his confidence, decision‑making, and overall behaviour as he moves into adolescence. I look forward to supporting you both through the next stages and seeing your pup develop into the well‑mannered dog you’re aiming for. Great work so far — keep it up!

Ric dealt with Aggression, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Ric was fantastic. Clear instructions on what to do to help train Bella. Bella is a French bulldog who is a little bit stubborn but with the help of Ric, she is understanding instructions. I could’ve never done this without his help. 5 stars, could not be happier. I’m looking forward to our next training session. Highly recommend 😁
Trainer note from Ric

I’m thrilled you’re feeling confident with the training and seeing real progress already. I’m looking forward to our next session and continuing to build on Bella’s success. Thanks again for the kind words and the 5‑star recommendation — it truly means a lot. Kind Regards Ric
