Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Mark was awesome with our puppy. We learned a lot from our session with him and we continue to do training with our puppy following Mark's guidance. He even shared some training sessions that our young kids could do with our puppy. Krypto was just a lot easier to control now but we still have a long ways to go but knowing we could always ask Mark for guidance makes it easier.

I just wanted to follow up and let you know that your support has significantly improved our ability to manage Frankie’s behaviours and support him to walk without pulling/lunging and decrease his barking. We have implemented all the tools you provided us and our lives are infinitely better due to your input which has strengthened our knowledge and skills. We really appreciate your time and effort in training us to be better dog parents and decrease his barking, jumping and pulling on the lead.

I was not physically able to walk Maggie so a neighbour walked her for me but she moved away and I was left with the problem of getting Maggie exercised. I decided to buy a small mobility scooter.(just for dog walking) and asked Mark to help teach Maggie to walk beside the scooter. Mark had her sorted out within 15 minutes and we now go for an enjoyable walk/run most days. Mark very kindly brought around a piece of wood for a ramp so I could get into the garage more easily. I really appreciated his expertise and friendly help.

Mark was amazing and I learnt so much in such a short time with him. I have a very anxious and protective dog who likes to pull on the leash, jump when excited and never let me out of her sight. Mark has helped me to have more confidence with helping her to become a much more well behaved dog. She can now (within days!!) sit and stay while I walk around the house. She walks nicely beside me on the lead and is slowly getting better when she sees people and dogs on the leash. 100% would recommend if you need any help with your dog - absolute game changer for me and I am so happy I invested in this for myself and my dog. You won't regret it!!

Jager is only 5 months old and was showing increasing signs of aggression and dominance, I contacted Mark based on recommendations of other people who have also used him and I could not fault him. Mark is very responsive and knowledgeable, he even went out of his way to fit us in last minute while in Wellington. Already after Marks initial session I have seen drastic improvements from Jager and his behavior, the methods Mark showed us were excellent, non physical and also without having to use food! Would highly recommend Mark and barkbusters without a second thought and would have no hesitancy in using Mark again in future if needed.

It has been so helpful to have Mark spend training time with all of us, so we can confidently learn about training Luna to our new pack. We appreciate his prompt email responses and dropping in to help us re-set and re-focus. His kind, calm and experienced manner is really appreciated and valued.

Mark has been helping our family with our 7-month-old border collie spaniel cross. She has had some challenging behavior towards other dogs. With his guidance, we have made huge improvements with her socialization. His advice has been invaluable in understanding her personality and behaviors. We are able to manage her boisterous nature and calm her anxiety. She is growing into a beautiful family dog. Thank you so very much.

My husband and I really enjoyed out lesson with Mark. We really learnt a lot and the techniques that we were shown, we can use on Rosie. She is already doing really well with her walking already that Mark has shown us. I recommend anyone that has been having problems with their dog to get Bark Busters involved as you will notice a difference very quickly. Thank you so much, it was excellent! Jackie

I have a 10 month old border Collie named clover who was aggressive towards people she didn't know. So i searched up what to do about it, and Bark Busters came up. I immediately got in touch with Mark, who talked me through what he would do. Then i booked a lesson. When Mark turned up, Clover was off the leash, and run to the gate barking. Her hackles were up, and she was on her guard, (what she does to every visitor) Mark then talked me through why she did this, and helped me to calm her down, and understand what she was feeling. By the first 5 minutes, we had her listening, and she was doing everything Mark and I was saying. Incredible transformation., and he also helped with other small problems, like pulling on the leash, walking with out a leash, and even helped out with cattle. Overall, I would DEFIENTLY recommend Bark Busters to anyone having any troubles with their dog. Friendly helpful service, and learnt a lot from the experience. By the end of the lesson, all my problems was solved, and she is a much more enjoyable dog to have around. Thanks Mark, and to anyone having problems with their puppy/dog this guy knows his stuff!

We had a major problem with our older dog accepting our new pup and after 3 months of keeping them separated we were at the end of our tether. Mark Gall was recommended to us so we got him out and within 2 weeks the two dogs are playing together and inseparable. We both have had dogs all our lives but learned so much in the three hours we spent with Mark. Thanks so much Mark, we have our lives back now ???

We got Coco at 6months old. Blind in one eye from an hereditary trait from her father, she was very timid and coming from a farm.. seemed afraid of everything "Town". We decided after having her at home for 3weeks to call Mark at Bark Busters to get some basic obedience training and to help her with her fears. Within a few minutes of training with Mark my husband and I saw an immediate change in Coco. No longer fearful of all those unknowns and now knowing her place within our "pack". She is a different dog, Much more relaxed. Still alot of training ahead, but she is doing so well. We would definitely recommend Mark to anyone needing help with their pup/dog.

From the moment Mark walked in the door things began to change for us and Mia. Mark was able to explain to us in very understandable terms how we might alter our approach. Then he was able to help us instigate these changes immediately. Mia responded so well. It is only day one and we have a lot of practice to do. But it feels like we have finally found a way forward after trying so many different alternatives. Thank you Mark for your help.
