Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

We are very happy with everything we learned. He’s like a different dog and actually seems much happier in himself and relaxed. Even though he wasn’t and we weren't, as result of frustration around his behaviour which was aggressive to visitors and dogs. Very pleased we found Mark and would recommend very highly.

Our case is a little different. In July 2023 our dog, Ruger, a 4yr old staffy cross would not get into his crate for our flight to Perth, Western Australia. We had to leave him with a family friend. We contacted Mark and he discussed Bark Busters philosophy. However, Mark had to work with our family friend rather than us. He did amazing work with our family friend and Ruger was not only going into the crate but was sleeping in it all night - all within a couple of days. His separation issues have been a work in progress. Unfortunately our family friend was unable to keep him and he went to stay with another friend. Mark carried on working with them on Ruger's issues. Eventually those friends could no longer care for him due to moving and other circumstances so Mark and his wife Heather made the decision to foster Ruger themselves at their home until he could fly to Perth and handle the crate and airport in a relaxed manner. 2.5 months later our boy was on a plane and bound for Australia. Mark went over and beyond his job as a trainer to give Ruger one on one attention needed. We are forever grateful for Mark's training as on 31st May 2024 Ruger arrived in Australia. We would recommend Mark for his love of the job. He is truly amazing at what he does.

Mark was fabulous, he was understanding, non judgemental and offered advice that worked very quickly. In one lesson our dogs have had huge improvement. We were having issues with our dogs attacking each other. Since the training we have had only 2 fights (it’s been a week) this was happening three times per day at a minimum before the training. My partner and I are so surprised how quickly our dogs have started to learn new commands and respond to the training. We are still in early days and understand we have to be consistent but the results we are already starting to see have been such a pleasant experience. Thank you so much Mark. So excited for our next lesson! We are hoping when Mark next visits, we will have full door control and our dogs will be sitting on their beds while he enters the house rather than barking their heads off at the door.

Mark has shown us some basic steps to take with walter and man what a change!!.walter was becoming quite the bossy needy and demanding english bull terror he had aggression issues nipping issues and lead issues and would get aggression whilst on the lead .with the tools mark has given us he no longer pulls on the lead and his aggression is slowly coming down we'd definitely recommend mark and bark busters. Thanks mark.

Great first session with Mark, he is extremely knowledgeable in his craft and took to my Rottweiler puppy with ease and skill. Noticed immediate results and corrected a myriad of mistakes that I was making unknowingly. Roman now does not leave the crate until I invite him out, is getting better at staying off the couch, and his walking on lead has improved drastically. I am still unable to calm Roman down when he goes into shark mode and loses the plot, but I will address this separately in a different session, as we had covered a lot in the first one.

Mark was really down to earth, talked through everything, gave us great practical tips and techniques, the dogs responded straight away and things are much calmer and quieter at our place now. We still have some things to work on but i have got a lot more confidence and feel more in control now. It is reassuring to know that Mark is on hand to follow up and continue with helping us with the training. Would definitely recommend Mark and the techniques he uses!!

Mark you were a huge help with educating Ingemar and I about communicating with our dog. You also demonstrated the training and made sure we could follow your instructions.

Mark was amazing, in one lesson he showed us what River is capable of and gave us the tools to get these results. In just three days since our visit, we have made huge progress and we are really enjoying River so much more, and she is more content and relaxed. We found Mark very easy to talk to, he knows what he is doing and he works alongside us with our dog, making it the best experience. We definitely recommend calling Mark if you want to get the best from your dog with everyone being content and relaxed.

Mark has been amazing teaching me and Roofus Blue heeler X, how to work together! Has gone from pulling, lunging and barking to calmly walking next to me. He is much more relaxed now even around other dogs. Still a work in progress but every time I see Mark I get a whole new dog. Thanks Mark

Mark has a friendly manner when teaching people, we certainly found that learning the dog language is extremely educational. Marks service is excellent and his communication through phone and email also. We certainly would be recommending Mark and what he is teaching is very beneficial for the dog world and humans.

Fantastic experience, noticed improvements straight away and the infromation given was easy to understand and implement

Mark provided a calm and relaxing level of instruction, which made the training enjoyable for us and our dog, although we were all pretty tired by the end of it! Teaching us how to be good leaders meant we saw an instant change in our dog’s behaviour which gave us the feeling that her anxiety is something we can help her overcome. We feel we now have some tools to make walks more enjoyable for all of us. Still plenty of work to do but now thanks to Mark we have a plan.
