Mark was so helpful and explained everything clearly. We learned how to train our puppy and our puppy learned what is expected of her. Fantastic advice and easy to repeat techniques.

Mark dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling
Mark was great, he took time to walk through the basics of leadership with the dog, walked through some scenarios and gave us a solid plan to work on in the coming weeks. Our dog made changes on the day and we are looking forward to seeing how the training will help curb his aggression towards intact male dogs going forward.
Trainer note from Mark
Stanley is a GSP x Pointer and 4 years old responded well to the Barkbusters Speakdog communication process. The owners took it on board and applied the techniques well and are already seeing results . Stanley was getting reactive to some dogs and just needed refocussing . pulled a bit , barked at the door and the reactiveness to some dogs was the major concern. Great job guys , I look forward to an update soon.

Great session with Mark, very experienced and helped us understand why River was behaving as he was. Mark has given us great techniques to work with as we help River grow into the well behaved dog we know he can be.
Trainer note from Mark
Kate and Jeremy were great at applying the techniques shown . River is a young very over enthusiastic GSD . The owners have never been able to walk him with out serious pulling but other problems too of jumping up , rushing doors , and general hyper behaviour and young children as well. River responded well to the easy to apply process and clearly s doing well having better guidance. Great job guys, keep up the awesome work.

Went beyond my expectations. Mark was wonderful. Extremely competent and gave clear instructions for us as owners of Jesse, to follow. Already after one session, Jesse is much quieter and more obedient. Worked like magic.
Trainer note from Mark
Jesse is a Labrador x Border Collie , clever and little manipulating. Runs the household a bit. His biggest issue is a dog in the neighbourhood who attacked him when he was young now the tide has turned and Jesse is full on when they see each other. 1st session was to develop the focus skills and all responded well to the speakdog training. A little more to go and Jesse will be awesome. Great work guys , chat soon.

Had our first session with Mark. We were really happy with how it went and are working on the areas we had time to cover. Looking forward to continuing the journey with Mark by our side.
Trainer note from Mark
Ardi is a Hungarian Vizsla and at 1.7 yrs old ,a full on in tact male teen dog. A slightly nervous dog he was barking at lots and recall and pulling were major issues. Both the owners and Ardi responded well and the owners apply what we had time to put very well. Future lessons will see further improvements as he is a pushy boy who's been let lead . Great work guys.

Thank you Mark. Although we’re still a work in progress, your knowledge and help with Bear has been great. In only a few days we have some control inside already.
Trainer note from Mark
Little Bear is a huge attitude 1yr old Jack Russell. Aggression when being put in his kennel and food resource guarading are the main problems but barking ,jumping ,pulling and recall are too. In charge of most of the house. He showed good improvement on the day and the owners applied the skills well but is definately a work in progress. Time and consistency will work .Small steps for mankind , big leaps towards an amiable dog. Great job guys and Bear.

An excellent investment. Charlie changed and is now quieter and able to be controlled much easier. She walks well, trotting along at my left heel instead of pulling at the lead.
Trainer note from Mark
Hi Kay. Great work you've achieved in a short time. Certainly little Charlie was in charge but also very anxious of the responsibility and the dog fear will be a work in progress. Awesome shes responding as the Shihtzu's can be quite head strong. Remember cool and calm in control. Any problems or questions just call me.

Mark dealt with Barking, Chewing, Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall, Separation anxiety
Mark was fantastic with his demonstrations. We were amazed that we had such control over the Puppas within minutes of first meeting them.
The exercises were all simple and very logical but it was great that Mark provided rationale behind each as well as it's easier to do something different if we know the reasons why it works.
Our puppas have changed a lot already.
We have a little way to go with some things but there is definitely a huge change ready
Trainer note from Mark
Both dogs were extremely excitable and way over the top with barking , the reason for their enquiry to start with. Both dogs and owners responded well and improvements were obvious on the first lesson . Well done mums and we'll set up another checkup and revisit soon.

Thank you Mark for your skill and understanding ,we thought Stanley was a good dog but what we have now is an awesome dog ,Stanley is now so much more relaxed and so are we.
Well worth the investment
Trainer note from Mark
Stanley was a dog who hadn't had any previous training by previous owners , lovely temperament but no educational skills. Didn't know anything really. He was boisterous and hard to refocus or walk . He responded well as did the owners and great progress in a short time. Well done Stanleys clan. I look forward to our revisit catch up soon

Thank you so much Mark for coming to see us in regards to Marley. We have taken in so much information and, there is already a big difference in Marley and our house. We highly recommend Mark for any dog training and advice. Thanks again.
Trainer note from Mark
Thanks for the testimonial. Much appreciated. Labradors can be quite over the top when young with their jumping ,pawing ,pulling etc as well as the play games to be in charge stuff and at 6mths old Marley is a toddler turning teen very quickly, and certainly a great temperament and you noted can respond well when we speakdog instead of human. Keep up the grand work and I'll see you with a revisit soon. Awesome job guys.

The effects of the training were noticeable immediately after Mark's time with us. He picked up things that we never noticed about our dogs and they are far more relaxed and obedient. We're very happy with the training provided
Trainer note from Mark
Both dogs were very attention seeking, but barking ,pulling were the big issues and one of the dogs fear of new people. Great progress so far and little more to work to do yet. Good works guys.
