We were extremely happy with our first training lesson. Phillip is an amazing teacher and Kyra was very responsive to the training straight away. We look forward to our future lessons through bark busters.
Trainer note from Todd
Kyra is a gorgeous white 3 year old German Shepherd. She was aggressive towards other dogs on walks and more worryingly towards children. She did really well today and her humans saw great improvements immediately. Good girl Kyra. â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸

Todd dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up
Philip was very helpful and provided excellent instuctions on how to help our dog to work through her excessive barking issues. He was able to show us practical solutions to her problems with aggression and how we can stop her jumping. It was surprisingly easy.
Trainer note from Todd
Thanks Michelle for your kind words. Coffee is a female Whippet cross about 8 years. So yes we can train an old dog new tricks! Coffee showed us her true personality today. We say at Bark Busters that Aggression is a behavioral issue not a personality type. We can help overcome even these worrying problems. Quickly!

We are so thrilled with the training we received by Philip from Bark Busters. It was so informative and extremely helpful. We look forward to practicing our skills we learnt with Arlo. We feel so much more confident in being puppy owners. Thanks so much Philip

Found the training to be well paced, very informative and helpful.
Trainer note from Todd
Thanks Ian! We had a great puppy lesson with 11 week old Border Collie puppy Bonnie. We covered canine communication and saw gorgeous Bonnie respond immediately to our verbal commands. Her demanding attention when alone was dealt with and we saw her able to be separated from you without the same complaining as before. I'll be back when you request a further lesson, and by the age of about 12 months she will be walking on a loose lead, coming when called, and generally having great house manners. She is super cute already and will be a fantastic companion whilst you work in your office. Thank you for allowing me to help with her education!

Today was Tina and my first lesson. Great start, Philip showed up to the door and we began immediately. Tina barked at the door and Philip talked me through what to do. Simple and somewhat primitive techniques with great results. I was so surprised. I feel like I'm on the way to being Queen D.
I'm excited to see where we are in the next few weeks, I'm confident that I will see and feel progression in our journey. I can't thank you enough for showing me your techniques.
Trainer note from Todd
Thanks Hayley! Tina is great! A largish Wolfhound x German Shorthair Pointer about 3 years old she had a few pretty serious issues that were impacting her life (and Hayley's!) She was dog reactive or aggressive, and anxious and timid with new people. She barked a lot at new guests, and being large that was intimidating for friends stopping by the house. She did incredibly well at her first lesson and I've received several emails from Hayley saying how great it's been. Here's one of Hayley's emails: "Afternoon, Philip! Likewise, it was a pleasure meeting you. Training is going very well. My housemate had some people over the afternoon you were here and when they knocked at the door, she didn't leave her bed. It was insane haha. She did have a bit of a bark when they came inside but she still didn't leave her bed. I feel I am definitely being seen as the leader now. I'm just about to go and walk around the backyard with her. She has been a little stubborn, just stopping when we come up to the front of the yard, but as soon as I let go with my left hand and start walking backwards she comes to me. Only thing is to start guiding her to my left side so we don't get tangled. Also in the mornings Tina usually wakes up and stands to look out of the bedroom window, I gave her a BAH and she got down immediately. I'm so happy with how this is all going, I can't believe we've found something that works for us. Thank you so much 😊 I won't hesitate if I ever get stuck 😊 Hayley & Tina" A great start Hayley! And Hayley had tried other Illawarra dog trainers who didn't address the issues or have any positive results. So well done Hayley and Tina!

Training went very well. Philip worked very well with the three of us owners and Zuki took to the training immediently.
Trainer note from Todd
Zuko is a 2 year old female Rhodesian Ridgeback and super sweet â¤ï¸â¤ï¸ Her owners (3 sisters) had a couple of behavioural issues. First and foremost she was dog aggressive on walks and at the dog park. No wonder really as she had been bitten there herself when younger. She also guarded the house and barked during the night and day. She pulled on her lead too hard too. With our first lesson we saw her listen, be quieter and walk next to her human sisters on a loose lead. With practice she will be able to ignore dogs outside. It'll take more time and regular short sessions to get there. Excellent start Zuki â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸

The session that we had with Philip on Thursday was comprehensive and very informative. We were able to see immediate benefits from his instructions and advice on handling Oskar. He was very hands on and demonstrated a depth of knowledge in relation to managing dog behaviour. He has an obvious passion for helping dog owners get the most out of their pet.
Trainer note from Todd
Oskar is a 3 year old Golden Retriver and was dog aggressive and reactive. He's a super dog â¤ï¸. We saw him respond extremely well today to my gentle methods of canine communication. With tolerance, patience and practice he will be much more calm when he encounters other dogs. And yes, I do have a passion to help people get the most out of sharing their home with a dog. Dog owners are the BEST! And dogs make us better people!

Very clear and well explained with great information, and very friendly too.
Trainer note from Todd
Bill & Ted are sibling 2 year old Doberman X Koolie males. Bill is very anxious and spends every waking minute running around the yard. He's clearly "on guard!" Ted follows Bill's every move and also gets aggressive towards Bill at times. Both dogs have had a lot of change in the past with several different houses (same very loving and devoted humans though) so Bill's anxiety has been compounded. Both boys responded extremely well today and several proven strategies have been implemented to assist them be happier, calmer dogs. We've already seen good improvement but we have a little way to go. Well done so far to both dogs and their devoted humans!

Philip was on the ball from the moment he knocked on the door, giving instant and useful instructions to correct my dogs behaviour. He was very clear and I saw instant improvement in my dogs behaviour.
Trainer note from Todd
Tim's little pup is 1 year old Pugalier Buddy. Super sweet but barking when left alone and causing Council complaints which must be addressed. He did Super well today and was extremely responsive. Well done Buddy!

Great session! Was perfect timing while our pup is still young. Learned a lot of proactive and preventative behavioural strategies - thanks so much, Philip!
