Reviews & Testimonials For Stefanie Budiman

Steph has sucessfully helped us train our excitable 2 year old chocolate labrador so he is able to walk calmly on the lead past other dogs. He no longer pulls or barks so our walks are more enjoyable for everyone. Steph provided us with great advice and variety of techniques to try with Ted and was patient and supportive during our lessons. She was also very warm and caring towards Ted and his older sister Chloe. We would (and already have) highly recommend Steph and Bark Busters to anyone else experiencing similar problems. Thank you Steph!

I can't recommend Stefanie from Bark Busters enough! She was so patient with us and our dog. She was very knowledgable and we instantly saw results. She taught us how to understand our dog's behaviour better, which has allowed us to understand how we interact with her more. She was very generous with her time and obviously cares a lot about animals. We really related to her training methods and will be definitely recommending her services to more people.

Stefanie's guidance and instruction was really clear and concise. We instantly saw a noticeable impact in Muprhy's behaviour. More specifically, Stefanie managed to completely fix Murphy's pulling by incorporating the "Bah" command and the use of a the 'Check Chain'. Murphy's recall has also dramatically improved with the use of the "Bah". We are now addressing Murphy's digging with the suggestions that Stefanie has put forward.

I really appreciated Stefanie's clear and professional manner. In the first lesson she provided an amazing amount of information, and I felt a lot more confident about how to develop a positive dynamic with Missey. Stefanie's ability to quickly assess our needs meant that the lesson was efficient and very effective, as was her ability to adapt her training style to suit Missey, my children and I. Thank you again, Stefanie.

Stefanie was fantastic in teaching us how to manage out dog. We were at our wits end with barking and complaints from neighbours and we found that we had results straight away. Of course, we still need to be consistent with the training.I found Stefanie's approach very holistic and realistic. Not only has the barking improved, but Arya is much more settled generally and is much better walking without tugging on the lead.

We meet Stefanie Budiman for the first time today, to get some training for our Moodle, Abby. Stefanie was very professional and friendly, knowledgeable and explained the procedure on how to go about training our dog. We were both pleased that even after the sessions with Stefanie that there is a life time support all over Australia if we need it. Highly recommend Bark Busters.

We contacted Stef from Bark Busters regarding our little Georgia’s separation anxiety. When we would leave Georgia at home she would constantly cry and become destructive, destroying the timber around our doors and windows. We didn’t know what to do until we met Stef. Stef sat down with Georgia and us and discussed training techniques that would suit us and our battle with the separation anxiety. We have put these techniques into action and our little Georgia Is on the right track to becoming more confident when she is left at home by herself. We thank Stef & Bark Busters for all the information and help given to us so that moving forward we have all the right training techniques to use with our little Georgia.

Stefanie was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. We learnt a lot about dog behaviour, including habits and food. It was easy to ask questions and the methods have been highly effective! Pandora has not climbed on anything or chewed anything since! We love that it is a hands off approach that shows care and respect to all involved.

Stef has been amazing with my 5 month old pug spud! He was a constant excited nipper and after 3 sessions has almost stopped. I can now cuddle my puppy without the fear of being bitten.. i am so grateful that Stef is now a part of our lives..

Stefanie is fantastic! She took the time to understand what aspects of Stanley’s behaviour we most wanted to address and gave us a number of techniques to train Stanley. Stefanie explained what we needed to do and then helped us practice so that we were confident to continue training when she was gone. Stefanie is very patient and never made us feel like we asked silly questions. Stanley really responded well to the techniques and I feel like I really got value for money. Highly recommend Stefanie to anyone training their dog.

From the time Stef entered our home, she provided us with advice about how to address Naala's behaviour (mainly barking). She was so patient and informative in our initial session and we started to see immediate (positive) changes in Naala. Another problem was Naala's walking, which was also addressed during the first session and I am so happy with her progress. She now walks on a loose lead consistently! Although Naala still does have a few things to improve, she has come a long way since our first session. Seeing so much progress since her first session is fantastic!
