Todd dealt with Barking, Pulling, Sibling rivalry
Stitch became really responsive and it's being the best he has ever walked on the lead in 10 years. It has been great to see Stitch gain more confidence.
Trainer note from Todd
Stitch is a 10 year old Border Collie and his owners just moved into a new home. Already a neighbour complained to Council about Stitch's barking. So Bark Busters came to help out. Stitch did super well at lesson 1 and as his human said above they had never seen him walk so well on the lead in 10 years! He also showed that he will be able to stop his barking with a little work from his humans.Good job Stitch!

Miley improved, amazing results in recognising BAH and developing her ability to walk on a lead with distractions. I am so impressed at how it worked and am happy with Miley's progress so far. I'm very happy and can't wait to see further improvements!
Trainer note from Todd
Miley is a 2.5 year old Staffy female cross who was jumping up (at 25kg that was a big issue), pulling clothes off the line, and digging to China! She was also biting her sibling Ruby on the face. She has also chewed up all the plants in the garden! We saw fantastic improvements in lesson #1 and there will be more to come! Well done Miley!

Our cattle dog was walking at heel 100% better than she ever had - within only a few minutes.
Trainer note from Todd
Bernie is a young, 1 year old, female Cattle Dog. She was going crazy when seeing other dogs on walks and choking herself and frightening her humans and the other dogs. She wasn't aggressive but it was no fun walking her. So her humans wanted her to walk on a loose lead! Mission accomplished! She also barked at passers by and small kids, both issues we dealt with at the lesson. Well done Ryan, Laura and of course Bernie!

Todd dealt with Aggression, Jumping up, Pulling
Kouta responded really well to the training techniques. A lot of our questions were answered and we were given a lot of valuable information.
Trainer note from Todd
Kouta is a 16 month old German Shepherd male. He was lunging at other dogs on walks aggresively and scaring everyone! Ashleigh also has a new baby so she really needed Kouta to behave better. His training went really well and Ashleigh & Marcus learned why he does what he does and how to overcome it. We have a way to go and it will take ongoing training, but that's what Bark Busters are for. I'm there (or here) to help! Big improvements immediately seen and more to come over time. Keep up the daily exercises Ashleigh.

Todd dealt with Puppy management
Buster stopped jumping and biting by the end of session. It was great to see results with no physical force.
Trainer note from Todd
Buster is super cute! An 11 week old German Shepherd puppy who just needed to have some boundaries set by his loving humans. Not a bad boy at all, just misunderstood! His habits of jumping, nipping at hands and clothes and chewing were all improved in just his first Bark Busters' lesson. I'll be back when his humans call me to continue his education.

The training tips were very easy and explained good. We saw results very fast.
Trainer note from Todd
Tucker is a Great Dane cross Bull Mastiff male of about 3 years. He was bashing down the fence by crashing into it! Denting it and annoying the neighbours a lot. Also he jumped on guests, and barked a lot, at possums or just about anything! By the end of the lesson we were seeing big changes! He was calmer, listening and more obedient. His owners also knew how to deal with the barking and fence crashing.

Within minutes both our dogs showed remarkable changes to their behaviour. Very interesting not what I expected.
Trainer note from Todd
Geoff had Sibling Rivalry between Rocky, their 8-9 year old Beagle male, and Bullwinkle, their 6 month old English Staffy puppy (love their names Geoff!) This is a serious issue that if not addressed can lead to terrible fighting and awful injuries. In the end one of the dogs may need to be rehomed if nothing is done. After our first lesson we saw Bullwinkle listening much more and the family were able to stop him from approaching Rocky. With consistency and daily practice of the simple exercises I taught them the relationship between Rocky & Bullwinkle will settle down. I'll be back shortly to see how things are going!

We really enjoyed learning more about dog psychology and how to become a respected pack leader. We have already seen a big improvement in our young dog's behaviour around our home and are now able to stop his ankle nipping instantly. We have someway to go with improving his confidence with strangers but this is to be expected.
Trainer note from Todd
Rescue puppy Rufus is a 6 month old Great Dane and very cute! He does have some human fear aggression issues which will take a little time to overcome. The session on dog behaviour we went through helped you understand his behaviour better. He's not an aggressive dog, he is a dog with aggression issues that's all. We can work on those! Rufus' humans commented many times, as horse owners, how our methods are similar to how to train horses. Yes they are! They're both animals that need leadership. Knowing he has a consistent reliable leader will allow Rufus to relax and give away his protective aggression.

Phil was clear and consistent with approach in training myself. Dogs were more responsive by the end of session. Looking forward to next session.
Trainer note from Todd
Diesel is a Fox Terrier cross and Belle is a Chihuahua cross. They were both barking at every little noise! Disturbing neighbours! By lessons end they were silent! See my youtube clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBg3a5me88c&t=21s for a before and after video of these two little darlings. Well done Martha and your lovely furkids!

Philip explained everything crystal clear and very easy to follow the instructions given. The training was a very different approach to what we could have imagined and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Trainer note from Todd
Josh's dog was called Franco, and he is a Pomeranian cross Maltese who barked and barked! He went off with every sound and was annoying the neighbours to the extent Josh had received a Council Letter of complaint. Something had to be done! Franco was also Dog Aggressive on walks and made that a most unenjoyable experience. When I arrived Franco barked and barked at me! He was really quite aggressive towards me and looked like he might bite! By the end of the lesson he was quiet, was listening to Josh and not barking at the usual things that set him off (like neighbours in their yards). A huge improvement immediately. Well done Franco! Well done Josh!

Todd dealt with Barking, Recall, Sibling rivalry
Molly WAS a dog who barked a lot - especially when there was someone at the door or someone near our property..
This problem escalated after our recent move to Shell Cove.
Our lesson with Philip from Barkbusters was a fantastic experience.
We learnt some key techniques, that changed Molly immediately. The barking has toned down a lot - in fact it toned down a lot at the lesson with Philip.
Philip has a warm dog friendly personality - he was really clear and concise with his teaching and he didn't mind us asking him to repeat some of the commands and training techniques.
I would thoroughly recommend Philip to my family and friends - in fact I already have :)
Trainer note from Todd
Hi Christine and Ray (and Molly!) Molly is a 3 year old Golden Retriever who has been lucky enough to live with you since about 8 weeks old. You actually said that she went "berserk" when people arrived at your home! She also followed you everywhere in the house and couldn't be left alone without fretting. She was just too full on! We did see amazing changes in the first lesson! She responded to our "speaking dog" right away! And of course you were great students as well (now you're great teachers for Molly as you've learned to be Dog Trainers yourselves now!) Well done and thank you for allowing me to help Molly and you both out. See you for our second lesson!
