Mark dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling
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.

Absolutely amazing session, great basic information and instructions. Feel confident working through the tasks each day. Literally saw results in the training session which have carried on since.
Trainer note from Mark
Nimbus is a GSD x Husky x Collie. Very active and far too clever. Major issue was Barking pulling and dog aggression. Great work buy the owners ,taking onboard a new way of communicating with Nimbus who showed he can do the things asked. Nice job guys. Chat soon with an update.

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.

Mark dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up
Gizzy is way more settled - rarely barks at dogs going by.A human BAH refocus is enough for him to be quiet. Gizzy is a delight to walk and mostly ignores other dogs on his walk. He still will sometimes turn into a Kujo dog without any reason but is refocussable. We are still working on the door thing as quite often he arrives at the door before us.
WE have taken his bone off him without a growl:-)
Gizzy countered my ignoring him on my arrival home by now jumping into my car when I open the door and sitting on my knee. Guess I will have to BAH at him to stop my homecoming welcome until I am ready.
So not 100% but great improvements and a work in progress.
Trainer note from Mark
Gizzy was boss Hogg from attention to territory protection. Great little guy but an over elevation of his job. worked well in the lesson and is refocussing better for the owners as they apply the daily programming fine tuning.

Mark is great. He has made such a difference to our dog’s behaviour in particular Millie who was out of control. She was terrible at pulling on the lead and he stopped this in one lesson. They no longer go out and bark at every sound. They are also much calmer. Thank you Mark for giving us back our sanity and reducing our stress levels. We still have some work to do and we are looking forward to our next session.
Trainer note from Mark
Millie was very full on but also very smart. She responded well to training in her language and we'll fine tune on the next session. A full on breed being Huntaway x Collie x Bearded collie and 2yrs old. Awesome work guys.

Mark is absolutely amazing! He is clear, calm and encouraging! In just 1 visit, Mark has given us the skills and confidence we need to help turn our English Springer into the dog we want. This has been the best money we have ever spent on a dog. I wish we had done it sooner instead of wasting money on all the different types of training leads! The next time we get a new dog or puppy, Mark will be the first person we call.

We had Mark come around for our first in home visit, then next day we did our walk, and wow I got Astro to sit and watch as people walked nearby, a dog walked out of their house and down the road as well as a cat that came outside it's house, no pulling or barking. Absolutely amazing, normally he would pull our arm off and bark and try to get to them, our journey has only just begun with Mark but I can't wait to see how our adventure into sorting out Astros issues goes. No one down here was willing to help us but Mark put his hand up and we are so glad he did. I highly recommend Mark and BarkBusters.. Your help means so much to us.

Where do I begin! We adopted Ranger, our 18month old Golden Over a month ago. He was a terrible puller on lead. Would paw, nudge, bark and jump up for attention. Terrified of going on our kitchen floor that was lino as he slipped the day we got him and refused to go in and out of the car. Absolutely hated cars. A very sensitive boy and quite shut down with his fears. Mark was amazing! We learnt so so much and by the end of the first training session our boy hopped in and out of the car , no lead at all and walked across the lino floor many times! We have also noticed a change in how our dogs interact with each other and Ranger is more calm, not demanding attention. They also don’t walk out and open door until we say so! ? Invaluable skills every dog owner should know! We are blown away and so grateful to Mark! He’s a fantastic trainer and the dogs loved him, so did we! Can’t wait to learn more next visit! Thanks again! Would highly highly recommend booking a session with Mark for your fur babies!
Trainer note from Mark
Ranger was a great temperament dog but few rules applied by the previous owners. And he had fear issues and anxiety. Since the lesson and follow up session improvements in all the problems he have been significant. Mostly as the clients were committed and needed to rectify the problems to have an amicable house hold. Awesome work guys, I appreciate the review.
