Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials
5th February 2019 - Mark Gall
Mark was absolutely fantastic. Very knowledgeable, nonjudgmental, listened to our concerns, took the time to explain how to address these issues and why in this particular way, as well as spent time putting the learning into practice. Simple, yet effective techniques used. Just within the session we saw a huge improvement which gave us encouragement to really follow through with the daily programming/homework. We feel really supported in the journey ahead.
Trainer note from Mark
Louie is a Tibetan Mastif with a big bark at any noise , any movement . lovely nature but really did think he was boss. The owners put the techniques into play and Louie responded to our speakdog program almost instantly. He will be a little bit of a work in progress but great forward steps already. Awesome work guys ,keep it up.

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.

Keiko is wonderful. This is the second dog she’s helped me with. She’s concise, makes sure I understand everything and I enjoy working with her.
Doing my homework now!!

I was amazed to see how Spike responded to the trainer’s voice from the moment she walked through the front door. The collar she gave me was an instant success, for some reason my dog prefers it to the harness and tries to get it on himself. He walks much better with the Bark Busters collar. I couldn’t believe how well my dog responded to the Bark Busters way and how focused he was on the trainer for three hours.

This is an amazing service, the trainer gave us loads of helpful training methods which have worked wonders with our dog. She was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions when needed. Best dog training service that we could have asked for.

Mark was awesome. We are amazed at the huge changes in our dogs after just one visit.
Trainer note from Mark
These Jack Russells from Cormwell have a lot of issues. the younger was developing strong sibling rivalry in certain situations ,separation anxiety from the human mum, the older dog was a barker at everything and dog aggressive issues. Both dogs responded awesomely ,even with our 2-3 hours session,to our training techniques and the owners did too. I will follow up on these dogs as the problems were becoming very serious Great work guys keep up the daily 20min.

Keiko spent 3 hrs at our home with Peanuts (large border terrier x, rescue dog). Keiko gave a very impressive no nonsense verbal and physical demonstration of what to expect from our dog and how to achieve it. At the end of the session we had gained the confidence we needed on how to manage and train our dog. This was so effective that Peanuts became a different dog on her future walks and the stress of unacceptable behaviour was removed from us by knowing what to do and knowing Peanuts would respond. We were provided with notes for daily training and a correct lead. This has all resulted in a happy dog and owner.

I found the training really easy to use and was amazed at how quickly Lucy responded. I think it is a good program and feel comfortable using it. I have shown my husband how to use it and we will continue with the daily training.

Mark was great from the moment the dogs saw him. Kobe is a nervous wee boy especially around unfamiliar males and is a rescue pup. By the end of the session Mark and Kobe were best buds. Dexter is jumpy and whiny and by using the techniques, both boys listen and are so much calmer. We decided to use a dog trainer as our boys have had some nasty fights, one being the week before Mark arrived where one ended up having stitches. We still have a long way to go, but with perseverance, and the techniques we have learnt, our babies will be perfectly behaved in no time! Thank you so much Mark, I am no longer nervous to leave my pups alone, or worried about the potential fights between them! I’m also so happy that I can email/text or call at any point if I need too!
Trainer note from Mark
These two boys are a bit chalk and cheese but Dexter a Rotty push but calm Kobes mixed bully breed ,nervous temperament meant he got stressed easily and several factors the owners were doing had given them the idea they could both be bosses Sibling rivalry was the major issue but other problems contributed. They both did awesomely well as did the household of 5 adults. Fantastic work guys ,

Brilliant in every way possible. Really informative, clear and precise instruction. Kindness and care were taken with dog and with us as owners. Results were quick! I would recommend to anyone who is needing a brilliant obedience trainer who does not require treats to get a dog to do the right thing and does it in a manner that is calm and leaves our dog very happy.
Trainer note from Mark
Neo was a very full on excitable boy. Adrenaline to the max and all about him continuously. He responded well to our focus exercises and now its just up to the owners to do the 20min a day and keep his reset button on them and not the party in his head. Very clever boy who tests a lot. Great work guys. you'll be awesome
