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🙏🏽🐾❤️

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
