Excellent. Immediate change in dogs behaviour. Will still need a session or 2 to address Mayos dog aggression
Trainer note from Mark
Dogs were very intense barkers , pulled lots , didn't focus. Great 1st results and the next session will be addressing aggression to other dogs. Responded well .nice work owners. 2nd session done with dog aggression in mind. Mayo worked well and pretty much ignored a one on one walk on the street with another dog.

My husband and I had just adopted a one year old Collie x (Tank) from second chance rescue a couple of weeks before. He was a beautiful boy, but was very excitable on a lead and jumped and pulled. Tank also had some recall but mostly ran as soon as he was off the lead at the beach. Mark was our trainer. Mark taught us some selected verbal communication tones used at the correct time, were amazing at getting a positive response from Tank. First lesson Tank was walking calmly on his lead. Mark was so relaxed and made the training easy to understand. We are now able to enjoy Tank fully and know we have made the best descision possible getting Bark Busters involved. We would highly recommend Mark as an advanced dog trainer++++++
Trainer note from Mark
Tank and the family were a bit stressed, A very excitable dog Tank took on board the technique and so did the family. This dog will be legend for years to come and no doubt create lots of pleasure for all.

Neighbours had brought to the attention of the owner that her dog had been barking when she was out,unbeknown to the owner it had been going on for a long time.

Our Dog Gus is young but as ex farmers we'd never had issues training a dog before. Gus is a lowland polish sheepdog , and needs grooming but also the basics that we were struggling with.
Mark came to us in Geraldine,a 2 hour drive from his home town to spend time walking us through the program.
We saw immediate results and Gus responded well to us ,as the training was for us to teach him.
We liked that no food was used and found he responded to the praise so well.
Dealt with all manner of our lifestyle as we live on the land and needed good control off lead.
Mark was patient and clear and never bothered by anything..
Trainer note from Mark
Great dog , Gus was pretty bouncy and as he wasn't actually being used for farm work due to a lifestyle change ,he needed focus. Responded well once the basics were applied. Great owners and two vey old 16 year old dogs to learn a bit from.

We have two totally different dogs that where re-homed, one a golden retriever 7 years old and a Chocolate Lab 4 years old. We had used a couple of trainers for the Retriever who has Anxiety and Nervous Issues and were told that she would never become a normal dog, what we see is what she's going to be for the rest of her days. So we weren't holding too much hope that Mark would be able to change things. The Lab we had, had for 2 weeks she had little socialisation skills with other dogs, and had focus and control issues. Mark took us through how to speak "Dog". Made it so comfortable too ask questions and feel at ease with the whole process of being able to understand why these two had become the dogs they had. Also how we were going to get the Lab to see us as the new Pack Leader, and the Retriever to "Chill Out", find safe zones in order to become a controlled dog and not be nervous in her surroundings and over think situations and run off. The sessions where tailored to the individual dogs needs, it wasn't a one training program fits all solution. This was amazing as it gave us confidence to continue with the exercises and the confidence to lead the pack. Both Dogs showed marked improvement after the first session.
Trainer note from Mark
The second lesson with these two has showed huge leaps in confidence for the Golden retriever Eden who now isn't shying away from people and noises and Toffee the Chocolate lab is starting to develop focus abilities. Toffee had no skills to speak of when we arrived as the previous owners didn't teach her. Great credit to the new owners for sticking by them and putting in the techniques and process.

Mark helped us out hugely with Jet. In one lesson Jet was not pulling on the Lead anymore, and after doing our "homework" his recall and obiendence has improved immensely. We would highly recommend Mark to ALL dog owners he is brilliant. Bark Busters is a must for all dog owners and dogs, it definitely teaches you how to speak dog. Thanks again Mark
Trainer note from Mark
Jet was a great student , and diligence from the owners is clearly showing in the results they're achieving.

Really great training, we noticed the improvements almost immediately. So simple and yet so effective!
Trainer note from Mark
Awesome dogs and the young one in question was so willing to learn. Great work by the owners in a not so easy environment on the day.

Mark was incredible. I noticed a change in Kylo within the first 30 minutes. I honestly can't thanks Mark enough for not only helping me understand my pup but to be able to communicate right from wrong to a very excitable teenage puppy. I'd highly recommend Mark & the Bark Busters Team to anyone struggling with how to relate to their dog as their methods are easy to understand and a cinch to relay to a furry friend. Definite game changers!! Thanks again Mark :)
Trainer note from Mark
Kylo was a very exuberant and over the top 1 year old but also nervous and not the temperament to be in charge. Fantastic relaying of the information and putting into action by Hayley. Your dog is going to be a winner.

We are very happy with how our training with Mark went tonight. We were both very nervous at the start and was unsure if it would work for Turbo but are so happy and pleased we did it.

Great lesson for a rehomed Cavaliar King Charles with barking issues and had always lived with a big dog not alone.
Trainer note from Mark
A challenging wee girl, with slight nervous issues, Can do the tasks but sometimes chooses to be stubborn. Great work by the owners who endeavour to work through the new problems when they occur.

Both of us are very pleased that we contacted Bark Busters Mark Gall and found the ideas and training with Mark to be very helpful and knowledgeable.
The dogs are progressing well.
Trainer note from Mark
Two little character dogs, both barkers and reactive at the fences . They've had a subdivision grow around them as the owners were close to the first to build in Pegasus. The house outlook is the whole street but both dogs and owners did very well.

Mark was awesome. We saw a change in Sienna's behaviour immediately. Mark helped us to understand our dog better and read her body language. The change to our family life has been dramatic - less noise and less stress. Thank you!!
Trainer note from Mark
Sienna was a very reactive barky dog driving the homeowners crazy. Great effort in applying our technique showed improvements to benefit the whole family. Well done.
