Reviews & Testimonials For Stefanie Budiman

Stef was amazing! Really helped with the issues I was having with my boy! She is very easy to get along with and very knowledgeable! I would recommend her for anyone having issues with their fur baby!!!!

We are so pleased with the change in our beautiful young girl. The training Jessie and we received has been of a great benefit. We are so grateful to Stephanie for she has taught us. We would recommend Bark Busters to everyone looking to train their furry family member, you won't be sorry you did.

Stefanie has been amazing in helping us train Suri, our 3 year old Bull Arab. Suri had reactivity issues and was generally very stubborn but after the first training session we noticed the biggest difference in her behaviour as we learned how to communicate with her effectively. We've now had 2 sessions and she responds to us much better and her recall has improved so much. It's much easier for us to take her out and her door manners are excellent now. We're still working on her reactivity towards other dogs but she's made great progress! Thanks Stefanie!

We have had three visits from Stefanie so far in the space of one month and already we can see major improvements in our little mini daschund Butters! Before Stefanie came to us Butters was an anxious, miss behaved, non-responsive little boy, now..after only two sessions he is such a different dog. We are so appreciative of the help, great advice and around the clock support that we have received from Stefanie! Very much looking forward to improving even more but we know we are on the right track with Bark Busters!

Stef has been a pleasure to work with and has a wealth of knowledge. She has given us confidence and equipped us with skills to manage our puppy. Will definitely recommend her to anyone having puppy or dog issues.

Stefanie helped me alot with zara after one session I'm already seeing great results she was really understanding and kind and made it so easy for me.

Meisha has improved so much we can't believe it! Best money we have spent. Stefanie made sure we understood everything and got us all included in the training. She was a pleasure to be around.

Stef has been great since she walked in and Teddy responded to her immediately. Her instructions have been easy to follow and I am getting better at controlling his behaviour. Stef is always willing to listen and has encouraged us to ring any time with questions.

Coco needed help with pretty extreme pulling on the lead, which was an issue as he is a big (45kg) boy. Stefanie taught us really effectively to change his behaviour in regard to his lead walking, as well as a few other issues like answering the door when people visited, and jumping on guests. We have had two follow up sessions with Stefanie, including meeting her three dogs and using them as distractors for Coco when walking on the lead. Coco is now able to walk on a loose lead and was able to ignore the other dogs when walking on the lead. Thank you Stef.

Over the last few weeks I have been working with Stef from Bark Busters Northcote area to help my dog Alfie with his ongoing separation and isolation anxiety. His anxiety was so bad that I couldn’t even take out my garbage bins without him going into full blown crying, destructive and overall panicked state. I tried multiple different solutions from toys, jackets, diffusers, treats and even medications prescribed by my vet and had seen little to no success at all. After spending copious amounts of money on products and medications I decided to look into trainers, this is how I came across Bark Busters. What really stood out and peaked my interest was the lifetime support guarantee and in home training. After my first training session with Stef I have already seen a positive improvement for Alfie, I can now successfully take out my garbage without him making a sound as well as many other improvements with his overall anxiety and stress. Each day I am working with Alfie to help get a step closer to him being completely calm anytime I have to be away from him so he can learn to be by himself without being in a state of heightened anxiety. Having Stef to learn from and train with has provided amazing support for Alfie and myself . I have been provided me with peace of mind that we can overcome his separation and isolation anxiety.

We were recommended bark busters by a friend and told about their life time plan. We had just got Mia a gorgeous golden retriever puppy and had a 4 year old border collie Kira. Mia’s recall wasn’t great, she was destructive (understandable as a puppy but we didn’t want it to continue), Kira was extremely obsessed with playing all of the time and not knowing when to stop, they both pulled SO bad on the lead when we were near water or an off lead park. We called Stefanie and she came around. It was so easy and Stefanie was amazing! She spent so much time with us teaching me and the dogs what we expected from them. She is extremely knowledgeable, experienced and willing to help and get the best for your dogs! I get compliments on how well behaved my dogs are and they have recently become therapy dogs which they are fantastic at! I still call Stefanie at times if things come up and she is always willing to help and so flexible with her times! My dogs have responded so well to her training and advice I would recommend EVERYONE to give Stefanie a call! Thank you so much for what you have done for me, Kira and Mia!
