Trainer note from Todd
Thanks Eric & Hazel. 😀 Peppa is a 4 month young Blue Cattle Dog puppy. She was super mouthy and biting their hands. To the extent Eric's hands were very scratched and cut. We solved this issue quickly and had great improvements in Peppa's focus and recall (coming when called). Over the next year or so we will work on walking on the lead, sit and stay. Well done so far she's a beautiful dog!

Trainer note from Todd
Ripley is a gorgeous 6m old German Shepherd pup. Lovely natured. Just a bit wilful. Not listening and not coming when called. Also barking a bit much. Her sibling Ruby (also a German Shepherd and about 6 yrs) was also getting a little tired of Ripley's attention and dominating behaviour. After today's lesson Ripley's humans had much better communication with her. With practice she'll be a terrific dog to live with.

Todd dealt with Barking, Toileting
Philip was excellent and really helped us with our Italian Greyhound, Frankie. The lesson was great and he taught us some great tips to deal with Frankie. She's a completely different dog.
Trainer note from Todd
Frankie is a gorgeous 3 year old female and her main issue was toileting inside the new apartment. After a recent move from a townhouse with a lawn to an apartment with a balcony her toilet habits had gone away. She was now often wee-ing inside overnight, and if left alone she would leave a deposit somewhere! She also reacted a little aggressively sometimes towards dogs when out walking. Her family also have a male Italian Greyhound Leo who is pretty well behaved and toilets appropriately. Frankie's recall (coming when called) needed work too. Well, in just the first lesson of around 2+ hours she was coming when called every time. She also showed great focus on her humans and they learnt why she is wee-ing and how to overcome her bad habits. Over the coming days we expect to see her toileting improve. I'll be back in 2 weeks to check on her progress.

Todd dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling, Recall
This was an incredible experience. The transformation we saw in Misha even in just one lesson was amazing. We were starting to see behaviour we never thought was possible. I was even able to walk Misha around our yard on a lead without her pulling me over! Philip also helped with the tougher issues like barking and some aggression.
Philip was very patient and kind, and very knowledgable. He explained everything to us so that we understood the why of the methods, not just the how.
Misha is a rescue dog, and not very good with strangers at all, but Philip is very gentle and kind while still being firm, and we were so happy to have him working with us.
We couldn't recommend Philip and Bark Busters more highly to anyone!
Trainer note from Todd
Misha is a big girl! About 35kg. A rescued Rhodesian Ridgeback female of about 4 years old. She has been getting more and more aggressive towards visitors at home, and when in the car. Once she got so worked up in the car when the owner's brother approached the car that she lost her bowels whilst barking so much. Poor girl. Her growling at guests was getting quite scary, although thankfully she has never actually bitten anyone. Also on walks she is reactive and aggressive towards other dogs. Our first lesson went really well, with Misha learning to listen to her humans, and to let go of much of her stress and worry. She showed her true nature (which is soft and a little worried) and her humans learnt that she is putting on an act of being big and scary. She really loved having her humans take the lead and let her know in our gentle way that she needn't try to control the situations. She will take more time to really relax fully, but her humans know a lot more now about Canine Communication. And with consistent practice Misha will get better and better with coping with new people. Well done all of you!

Philip came to train us so that our new puppy would be able to have her excessive barking and chewing issues dealt with in a natural way.
Trainer note from Todd
Bella is a 7 month old Japanese Spitz puppy who was barking at shadows, at the TV and every noise from outside the house. She also jumped on everyone all the time, and she wouldn't come when called. Her humans love her very much and learned to "speak dog" just a little, so they can correct her barking. She also used to go crazy with the broom and vacuum. All these behaviours were dealt with and she is much quieter already. I will see her again soon and we will continue her Bark Buster's training in walking on the lead. She's a super cute little ball of white love!

It was great! Before Bark Busters came my dog use to jump and snap at me, but he is more obedient and more controlIable. It was a huge relief to see my dog more approachable, calm and giving love to him was the happiest time in my life.
Trainer note from Todd
Jay is a 17 month old Golden Labrador male and we really out of control. He was very physical with his humans, and his jumping up and snapping was at a point where they considered rehoming him. But his owner Sun loves him and wanted to keep him. Within minutes he was responding to Sun and being calmer. No more snaps. No more jumps. It is possible to enter his yard without being overwhelmed. I'll be back in about two weeks to work on walking on the lead, sit and stay. In the meantime, however, he's a much more lovable dog for everyone.

Philip was very clear in his explanations and training. It made the session flow smoothly. I would highly recommend this training, even for minor issues. We saw immediate changes and feel more confident in being able to manage our dog's behaviour. We were so happy at the end to see the changes.
Trainer note from Todd
Clinton & Karly's dog is Jet, a gorgeous Miniature Poodle male of about 6 years. His biggest issue was peeing on the outdoor furniture! He was also barking at the neighbours which was a problem. Even people passing by the house caused an outburst of persistent barking from Jet. As with most Poodle crosses, he was really bright and ready to please once he knew what his humans really wanted from him. It's all about Canine Communication!

Archer was definitely paying attention more and obeying commands. We all benefited in learning the "leadership" role for the humans in the household.
Trainer note from Todd
Archer is a 1 year old male Jack Russell Terrier x Fox Terrier. He is a lovely boy but he did jump, nip, and pull on the lead. He also barked at dogs when out walking on the lead. He mouths his humans too and was a bit nippy with doggie friends as well. His lesson was Great! He seemed to love learning and was really paying good attention. Well done Sara and Mum Barbara!

Todd dealt with Barking
Training was excellent. Great easy techniques. Very knowledgable trainer and very friendly. Already seeing some change in behaviour.
Trainer note from Todd
Thanks Ben! Flee is about 7 years old, and a female Border Collie x Kelpie. She is a lovely girl and her big issue is barking at every noise in the street. It's lead to a neighbour complaining which is a great reason to seek Bark Busters' help. We saw positive changes during our first lesson and with consistent training we will see further gains. Putting in place the suggestions to curb her barking will se the neighbour happier!

Philip was very knowledgeable. Levi responded well to his first day of training. We look forward to an improved companion.
Trainer note from Todd
Levi is a 15 month old American Staffy male and was ruling the garden area. The humans couldn't go there without him jumping on them, nipping at their legs, feet and hands, and chewing all the outdoor furniture, artificial turf and anything he could reach. The jumping was scaring their young kids. A neighbour had also complained about his barking at every little noise including birds, wind, and of course the neighbour. He also pulled so much that the mother couldn't walk him. Well, they saw a well behaved boy during his first lesson. Calm, not jumping and he didn't bark once. He also walked without pulling, on a loose lead! They have practice to do but we already saw huge improvements. Well done Levi!

The training was explained very well and I definitely saw immediate results with my dogs.
Trainer note from Todd
Sasha is a Staffy x whippet female and 5 years old. She was rescued. However she barked constantly at the neighbours. Also Harriet a 4 year old female Greyhound x not so bad but barked a bit. Sasha pulled a lot and her human couldn't walk her as a result. There were fabulous improvements during lesson 1. Human happy. Dogs happy. I'm happy 😊

The principles of the training were clearly explained in the first session and techniques were demonstrated for practice. It was amazing to see how quickly our dog responded to simple yet effective techniques! Our dog is a calmer and happier boy!
Thank you Philip for helping our family!
Trainer note from Todd
Soske is a 7 year old Shiba Inu male who had serious separation anxiety. He'd even chewed right through a bathroom door! He also barked. Shaking, drooling and panting was common and he was very nervous of new people. He changed completely with our 2 lessons! Calm, responsive and quiet! Good boy Soske!
