Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

11th August 2019 - Mark Gall

Mark was awesome! He helped Caleb and I understand dogs true nature and our Nitro so much more. Nitro would often be hyped and anxious around the house, since Marks visit Nitro has calmed down and retreats to his spot on the couch. There is a lot of work and time that needs to be put into training Nitro, Mark has equipped us with the tools and techniques do this and feel confident whilst doing so. Thanks Mark!

Trainer note from Mark
Nitro is a English pointer who was very hyper, reactive to things past his gate and generally running the house hold in a overactive way. lots of small alterations to how the owners communicate and body language and Nitro showed promise even with in the lesson. he's young so a bit of a work in progress but well on the way to being a great dog. Excellent work guys.

Excellent, Super helpful and easy to follow training, and Mark was very friendly and very knowledgeable

- D.J, Porirua, Wellington (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
This dog is a lovely Jack Russell but an over exuberance to run the show and boss human Mum around by being over exuberant with aggressive play. He'll be a work in progress but certainly showed he can focus on what right on the lesson day. Great work by the owners and they certainly got a grasp of the pack process. Awesome.

Mark was excellent. His manner was incredibly respectful, Mark listened to our concerns and worked to address the issues we were having. Our dog is a work in progress and we acknowledge we have work to do but Mark gave us a really strong foundation in which to build by explaining behaviour, body language and actions we can take. Highly recommend.

- N.G, Waikanae, Wellington (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Bowie is a Pointer x Sharpie, very anxious of his surroundings and separation and people aggression an issue. The first part of the lesson was done solely climbing the owners up the pack ladder. This dog wanted some one in charge as it was too stressful for him. Stunning turnaround in a very short time. These owners will be fantastic and know that Bowie can do it well.

Wonderful training. Mark makes it so simple. Definitely noticed a huge change in the dogs within 20 mins. Amazing

- D.H, Otaki, Wellington (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
3 dogs all older , 4th puppy created the sibling rivalry and mayhem by upsetting the dog box. A busy household of dogs but all responded when the right technique and focus exercises were used. We had a couple of phone conversations and a revisit and the dog box is now more relaxed.

The training was outstanding. We went from trying to please our dogs as idf they were humans to totally getting that we needed to change this approach to get back the ranking to control them in and out of the home. The techniques then offered to re train the dogs around beiong on lead and obeying commands was amazing. Simple, well explained and in no time at all the dogs were seemingly changed into different animals! Since then walking our dogs is just a dream.

Trainer note from Mark
Samson is a large Malamute and very strong ,pushy , in charge or so he thought. he responded very well to simple change in the technique the owners were trying to control him by. First off no physical man handling , just voice and body language. worked the passive and lead exercises and Samson is a changed man. Awesome work Family.

Mark was wonderful with my dog and taught me a lot in a short space of time.

- K.D, Wellington, (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Great dog , But definitely thinking she was in charge. A work in progress and the biggest problem is her dog reactiveness which was out of control. This owner is committed and already seeing improvements great job guys in one ne session so far.

6th December 2018 - Mark Gall

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!

- K.D, Wainuomata, Wellington (Testimonial)

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 ,

3rd December 2018 - Mark Gall

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.

- A.W, Upper Hutt, Wellington (Testimonial)

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

1st December 2018 - Mark Gall

The session we had with Mark was fantastic. The face-to-face training with Mark/ourselves and Mishka was incredibly valuable. Mark has a very calm style of training and was able to show us, then watch and correct us so we knew exactly what to do. Mishka has reacted so well to the training already. She's so much less anxious and more attentive. She seems to have completely stopped the fence rushing and barking already - after just one day. The notes and information provided will be an excellent reminder for us to keep up the training. Thank you Mark!

- L.H, Wellington Region, Wellington (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Mishka was a very anxious Visla who was trying to protect her kids and pack with having the correct leadership temperament. Taught a bit of speakdog and now she's looking ,listening letting the owners be in charge. Great effort Hoomans, Nice focus Mishka.

1st October 2018 - Mark Gall

Mark was great, very informative, very patient, very clear and had an immediate impact on our dogs. We saw immediate results and Mark left use with great knowledge and tools, we learnt to speak dog and to finally have clear communications. He help us understand our puppies and to handle their personalities effectively. We are very grateful for his visit and teachings.

- C.M, Berhampore, Wellington (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
These two dogs are quite different in temperament and have very different reasons for some similar behaviours , Both Chihuahua x Foxys and close in age , huge barkers and pullers and one is dog agro the other people worried. Nervous and anxious also. The dogs responded well and the owners took on board the techniques to see almost immediate results. Consistency and learning the dogs language will pay off in the end, Awesome job guys.
