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🙏🏽🐾❤️

Ric explained everything in a very approachable and easy to understand way, and the techniques were easy enough to pick up! Even after 1 session its like we own a different dog! We still have a long way to go but we can already see so many positive changes!

It has been a pleasure to meet Ric and to see results from implementing his techniques has given us awesome results, especially with walking our girl Eva. We have looked forward to his visits each time. He has also been very patient with my son and I, having to repeat directions sometimes. It’s been a rewarding experience. Thank u so much Ric.

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

Ric was amazing with our dachshund Daisy!
He gave us simple corrections to follow when she is reactive that we are looking forward to working on with her. She responded so well to the training in the first session with Ric! He has a really good way with dogs. We have been given a clear training schedule to work on before our next session in two weeks time. Excited to see the progress with his training methods.

Ric was fantastic! I have a daughter who is on the spectrum who is always scared of our dog because he jumps up on her and we cant have him inside as much as we would like. Ric arrived showing us how to teach him not to jump and how to make him calm. What an amazing difference we now have. The best part is we can have him inside more because he Isn't chasing our cats or jumping up on our daughter.
Thank you Ric Amazing!!!

Ric was very good with Eden. Ric showed our family a number of techniques to use, when training Eden, to be calm when there are visitors and how to keep Eden walking beside you.
We discussed our concerns where Ric explained and showed us how to improve Eden's behaviour.
Eden still has a way to go but her behaviour after only one session has improved greatly
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Elizabeth, Thank you for your review. Eden did so well during her first session. There is quite a bit of work with her especially since she has built up quite a bit of fear with visitors. With your families improving leadership, Eden will soon become more confident and make great progress. I'm only a phone call away until our next session if you need any support or guidance. Kind Regards Ric
