Lady is a totally adorable Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy of just 12 weeks or so when I met her and her humans. She was a typical little puppy in every way. It's fantastic to hear such wonderful feedback from you as I totally adore puppy lessons! Being able to start communicating with your new puppy early on, in the correct non physical, humane way, makes for a better human/canine bond from day 1. And of course this helps you have a happier, more peaceful and in control home! Who wouldn't want that! So, thank you for engaging me to help with Lady. I look forward to seeing her again over the coming months and seeing how she develops. Well done to date! Philip

Storm is a 14 month Female Blue Heeler and her owners had received a complaint letter from their local Council about her barking. So that was the number 1 issue. I'm thrilled that Storm's barking has lessened already. I suggested some simple changes to her garden area and diet that should further reduce her barking. The jumping up was an issue as she's a strong dog with scratchy claws! As time progresses Storm will relax more and more over time and become a much more lovable pup to be with. And yes, I do love dogs! ? Thank you for caring about Storm enough to engage Bark Busters Dog Training rather than taking the lazy option of surrendering or trying shock or citronella collars (which are cruel, temporary solutions that don't deal with the causes of Nuisance Barking, jumping or any other Behavioural Issues.

Thanks so much for your great feedback Beth! Jasper (a 10 year old male Chihuahua) was super great and I really saw him understand the change in the pack leadership that was occurring in that first lesson. He was and will be happy to let go of all the responsibility of looking after you and Darren! He wants YOU to look after him! I'll be back in 2 weeks to work some more with you all and make sure that everything is going well. I'm so happy that Jasper is behaving better already. And as they say, you can indeed teach an OLD dog new tricks!

Keira is an 8 month young female German Shepherd and Bella a 6 year female German Shepherd. Both dogs were adopted about 6 months ago. Bella had been a breeder. Keira was jumping up, ripping clothes on people with her mouth, crashing into the door when left alone, and barking too. Bella didn't want to come! So, after our 3 hour lesson we saw both dogs change for the better! Especially Keira who had the more challenging behaviours. They are both gorgeous creatures with lovely gentle natures, so training with Bark Busters in #speakdog is all they need to fit into their new home better. I'm sure that they will become valuable and much loved (already that!) members of their community. Keep up the consistent practice and enjoy your two special girls. Thank you for allowing me to help you, Hannah, Keira & Bella.

I'm so happy that despite your feeling nervous you found my lesson great. Molly is a recently adopted 6year old Moodle who barked a lot. But more worrying she had bitten Vivienne quite badly on the arm and would growl at her and her husband Fred. Molly was just a bit scary at times. Our first lesson was great and Molly showed she is not an aggressive dog just a dog with Behavioural problems. Bark Busters can help. When I left Vivienne and Fred were able to prevent her barking at passers by. They also knew how to reprimand her for growling without being physical. I'll be back in 2 weeks and I'm available at any time via phone if they need more help. I'm confident Molly's bad behaviour will improve. Well done Vivienne and Fred!

That's so fantastic to hear! Ivy and Batista are both Staffies and Ivy seems quite timid but also a bit stubborn. Their fights had drawn blood and would have probably escalated without training. Teaching the dogs to cope with separation from each other and from yourselves is important and it was great seeing how well they learned this lesson. Well done with your "homework " so far ?

Haha I love hearing of your success Mary! Pippa is a 7.5 month young Welsh Springer Spaniel and just about the prettiest dog I've ever seen! ? Her barking, jumping on you and guests, lack of response to "come" and general stubbornness had to change! And change they have after just one 3 hour lesson. And as you rightly comment, imagine what she will be like after a few weeks of regular Bark Busters training? I can tell you ... a total joy to live with! Well done and thank you for trusting Bark Busters to help with your gorgeous girl.

Ibeth well done to you too for being there for Laiko. He is a 14 month old Cocker Spaniel male who as you mentioned was aggressive to strangers (especially men!) and barked a lot when any noise disturbed him. He was a challenge at the start of our lesson but he did show improvements and response by the end! And with your daily practice he will just get better and better! Of course I will be seeing you again for a revisit lesson soon and we can continue to show him what good behaviour looks like! The best thing about our training is that Laiko will actually be happier in himself, less stressed and consequently much nicer to live with! Well done Ibeth!

Harley is a handsome 5 month old Husky male and was very responsive. He showed a keen mind and will enjoy his ongoing training with Mum! I'll be back in a few weeks to achieve the next level of training and then again by his first birthday or so. It's up to you when you need me again. Remember that I teach you how to train your dog! That's much better than a stranger trying to teach him and then vanishing from the scene. Harley now has Lifetime Support Guarantee with Bark Busters.

Thanks Christy it was a super pleasure to meet you and Nanook. What a special puppy she is! Already 10kg at just 9 weeks it's so important to be able to communicate with her. A big dog who is poorly trained is a nightmare! A well trained dog is a pleasure! Nanook has a great temperament and over the coming 12 months her Bark Busters training is going to see she fits the well behaved category of dog. Enjoy her!
