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.

Keiko helped us understand doggy language and how to gain the respect of Moby. He’s changed a huge amount, it’s still early days but the change we’ve seen in him has changed our lives. Thanks Keiko!!!

We're a week in to our dog education after having Keiko here and it's already been life changing!
Massive issues with barking, jumping up to greet people and other inappropriate behaviour.
We've been following the training programme daily as outlined and can already see the impact and long term outcomes this is going to have for us.
Absolutely outstanding!

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 was amazing with Sadie! He came in respecting how she was and helped us work on settling her until she was ready and calm to deal with. Within a 3 hour appointment my reactive dog was starting to desensitise to people coming through the door and isn’t pushing past us to be first through. Mark works miracles in the mere hours he had with us! Excited for our journey to continue and to see further improvements in my now 3yr old GSD..
Trainer note from Mark
Sadie is a GSD and is very protective of the owner who Sadie is a semi therapy dog for. Her roll was a bit hard for her and the arrival of the new baby has increased her protection of the pack. She pulled , jumped , huge barks and reactive at the door even for regular visitors. The owners now know Bark Busters speakdog processes to calm her and take charge of situations. She is a work in progress but heading in the right direction. Great job guys.

Today was my first session with Keiko and it gave me so much confidence to see how fast my dogs responded also Keiko is very good at explaining her tools and how they work. Please if you need help with your pet, you have found the right person.

Keiko dealt with Barking, Pulling, Recall
We were very impressed with Keiko and our first session. Keiko explained the theory behind the method and then walked us through techniques with Ruby to practice. We have seen a noticeable improvement with her barking immediately and Keiko is very quick to respond to questions which has helped us improve our walks already. We are looking forward to further sessions to help us tackle some of the other rules we want to implement with Ruby.

Mark went above and beyond his time with us and Bud. The change in our dog was amazing and I learnt a lot. His anxiety will take some time as he had a huge fear of guns as a weapon is needed where we live for wild animals and possums. Was getting very anxious of the boat and car travel too.
Trainer note from Mark
Bud is a Staffy who lives on a property with at present boat access only. He had developed various phobias and anxieties of certain actions and situations including extremely stressed on the boat and in cars. Taking him back to basics and teaching the owners to speakdog and read him better has already helped hugely. creating rules and boundaries to settle him. Coupled with serious illness Bud was just getting away with little much attention and freedom to his anxiety detriment. Hes more sensitive than the owners possibly realised and is clever with it. Nice work guys.

We are becoming a much better, clearly defined wolf pack following our online training session. Communicating in a way Bear understands. Thank you!!
Trainer note from Mark
1st session has been an online virtual lesson to start the process of solving Bears big anxiety of dogs and barking issues as well as other obedience problems. So far improvements have been seen and a face to face lesson soon will be significant in getting bear refocusing easily and working through his stresses. Nice job guys.
