Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

23rd January 2019 - Mark Gall

In the past the council has forced us to use a shock collar due to anxiety barking, this created visible agression signs with other dogs. When doing the quiz online I realised there were more issues than I was aware of.... so getting a hold of Mark Gall was great! We all enjoyed our 3 hour training session, very hands on and direct which was awesome. Mark was patient and friendly but also firm and set boundries well,... including boundries for the housemates. worked on more issues than what i had expected.

Mark was absolutely outstanding. We have a dog that had a lot of behavioural problems and we saw instant improvement while Mark was with us. He gave us lots of skills and training and we feel a lot more confident with continuing to train our dog. The training costs a lot of money but we felt it was great value and a game changer with how our dog behaves. Mark has outstanding dog training skills, but also excellent people skills with a great sense of humour. Our whole family loved Mark and he made the training experience lots of fun. He is very kind and caring with the dog, but also firm and had our dog obeying him immediately but also won her trust and affection. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mark and Barkbusters to anyone and we know that the training is very professional, and very effective. Also the fact that there is Lifetime Support gives us on-going confidence.

It was awesome. i didn't believe that there could be such a rapid improvement. i feel more confident now about fixing Barney's anxiety. Mark's manner was positive and affirming for both me and the dog.

- T.M, St Albans, Canterbury (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Little Barney was a stressed Spoodle. barking and biting but nervous of visitors. The owner applied the process and techniques very well and reaps the rewards with a 9 out 10 dog after only a couple of hours. Nice work team.

Great session with Mark. Really love that the training is done at our home and unlike other unsuccessful trainers we've used it isn't based on extreme fear or food. In a week we have made some great progress with walking and door bell running. Really appreciate the knowledge as our Greyhounds are ex-racing but Mark knew how to handle them, so thanks. Highly recommend.

couple of awesome dogs and awesome owners. Dogs responded well to our gentle dog speak and did what was asked pretty well on the day. Daily work from the owners will pay off in really great dogs. Well done guys.

I wish we'd called Mark sooner! After a couple of fights between siblings which were escalating in severity we needed help to get our pack back together. Mark was fantastic, he took the time to get to know us and the dogs first before we went near the kennels so our session targeted exactly what we needed. He explained and demonstrated the techniques clearly and was patient and non-judgemental. Our dogs responded really well once Mark had trained us as better handlers!! It was a really enjoyable session, we learnt so much and our pack seems happier and more relaxed now that we're more confident leaders. The equipment, resources and support are excellent and I feel like our pack is back on track thanks to Mark.

- K.M, Hanmer Springs, Canterbury (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
# dogs all working farm breeds, all totally different temperaments, and two competing for the top job with Sibling rivalry ending in vet bills. Awesome folk who took on board the techniques and showed great skills . These dogs will feel soo much happier and more relaxed in their pack now. Great job.

Had our first session today with Koda as she has some dog aggression within a couple of hours there was a huge improvement in her behaviour. Mark gave great information which was easy to understand and I look forward to using the techniques that mark has shown me to further improve her behaviour.

- k.r, richmond, Canterbury (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Koda is a placid Choc lab until a dog barks or shows aggression to her then fear aggression sets in, she has had free reign with the previous carers and doesn't focus well . She showed she can but will be a work in progress but showed huge potential to get over her fear issues.

Mark has helped us to better understand our dog Tyson's dominant behaviors. He was able to start us off with techniques to correct his behavior so we can have a more relaxed and obedient dog . He let us know that it would be baby steps with Tyson and we have the reassurance of ongoing support . Mark was professional and was able to relay a basic training programme that we are confident to follow. Already Tyson is becoming a lot more settled thanks Mark

- J.N, Bromley, Canterbury (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Tyson is a 15mth old German shepherd un neutered male of direct German bloodline, extremely dominant and aggressive to visitors and other dogs ,animals. In the time the owners have had him they've not been able to get him to focus on commands even though they've owned several Shepherds before. His issues were aggression , barking , very physical and boisterious. Pulls. in fact isn't walk on the streets due to his nature. Tyson took a bit to settle and was starting to respond to our passive use of training techniques. I'm excited to see progress in a couple of weeks. Great work guys.

Mark carried out an excellent training session that far exceeded my expectations. His knowledge of dog behavior and his genuine nature made the lesson enjoyable as well as a productive step towards improving my dogs life as we well as my own.

Trainer note from Mark
Ned is a large and big softy malamute x Shepherd with separation anxiety issues, Ay one year old also all about himself. he responded well and the owner applied the techniques very well . Check up in a week or two to see how progress is going but even during the lesson the separation howling was significantly reduced. Great work Neddie boy you big cuddly bear.

15th July 2018 - Mark Gall

I found the training extremely helpful. Marks quiet but strong nature put my wee dog sophie at ease, and made the training easy for me to understand. All the written information left will help me continue the training and give me something to go back too if necessary it is also very assuring to know that i can call Mark if i have any ongoing problems and that there is help for the lifetime of my dog should other issues arrise.
