Bossca is a 6mth old Labrador , full of beans , maybe a a bit too many beeans , he can do the obedience but his cheeky play drive and over enthusiasm is an issue. He responds well whilst training and has come a long way in just couple of lessons. Unfortunately due to changes in the circumstances at home the more mature clients have chosen to find him a forever home and are very precious about where he should go to. He will train well and has a great temperament

Amber is a dog I've dealt before for previous owner who needed to rehome her. The new owner has taken up our discounted transfer of the lifetime support guarantee Amber had previously. She is doing well and the new owner is learning her traits and how to manage and train her reactive tendencies due to lack of socializing and some unfortunate incidents. We will be doing another lesson shortly to keep up he clients skills as it is their first dog. Great work so far.

Thank you for taking time to leave a review Kristal! I was very happy with the way Jerry (7 years old, Pomeranian cross) responded to his first session. And great to hear he is doing so well. Keep up the good work! He was confused about the rules and boundaries. Now he has leaders who understand him better!! My help is always available for you and Jerry 😊

Narla the feisty Jack Russell , Awesomely energetic but owning the street via the front window view. She was barking , pulled , shoot the gap at the gate , and react to dogs and people on the street. She settled quickly once mum and dad stated applying the speakdog to teach dog techniques. Great feedback soon after the lesson too. Second session soon to fine tune what is still slightly needed. Awesome work guys .

Marley labrador retriever was a rehome for this lovely couple. But shortly after arriving Marley started displaying reactive tendencies toward visitors and digs as well. So they called us for help. Immediately it was obvious that Marley was in fact a slightly timid dog who needed good guidance to relax and let mum and dad make the decisions. He responded really well and the owners had the skills down pat in a short time. Great for Marley and the owners. Well done team Marley.

Arlo is a 3yr old male labrador . A lovely temperament who can manipulate the family with kindness but a random territorial barker ( owner said it makes them jump )plus pulling was an issue the owner was struggling to get on top of. One lesson has already seen huge improvements and a much more settled relaxed dog. I'm keen to hear of more progress soon.

Thanks Daniel. Yes it's very early days with such a young puppy but a great opportunity get him and the family on the right track. Plenty more to be done as he develops and goes through the changes on his way to adulthood. The next 18 months will be particularly intense. I'm looking forward to working with you further as per our Life of the Dog Support Guarantee.

Little Maggie is a wee gem of a fire cracker . full on mostly when I first visited. She and the family took on board the Speak dog to teach dog principles very well and Maggie's behaviors' starting adjusting quickly. Still some work to do but progress already after one lesson of her lifetime support program.

Dora the Explora, Dogue de Bordeaux , on my Facebook page Bark Busters South island. Lovely dog but very over the top and hyped with guests and dogs , not aggressive just full on and too excitable, no focus . She responded well to the owners new refocusing skills and were applied well to get Dora attending to them very quickly. Again she is a big breed at 40 odd kg already . We'll do another session soon to fine tune any kinks out . Great work guys and gals.
