Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

2nd June 2018 - Mark Gall

I found the training very helpful. It was clear and concise and sensible. It definitely fitted what we needed. It was great to have some pre reading. And I am really pleased we have written notes as well as info sheets. I also really like the home training schedule I find this helpful as I like to have lists to follow. Having Mark come to our house was great.

Trainer note from Mark
Lovely dog but has been in charge for a little while ,a 6 mth Schnauzer and a new baby in the house changes the dynamic as well. She barked and pulled and rushed the door, also recall is an issue, even more so with a baby on board. She'll be a work in progress as most young dogs are but responded during the lesson. lead work she's a challenge with but has been let do her thing until now. Nice effort guys.

Excellent practical lessons and tips which is already helping (after only a couple of hours). A very in charge dog with barking issues.

- C.V, Whitby, Wellington (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
The lesson was with the family and one of the children so the consistency will be there and Lola a one year old Staffy with Fear issues showed focus skills not seen by the owners before. Nice work guys.

Mark came a week ago and we immediately saw improvements in Bensons behaviour as we changed the way we managed him. We had guests to the house on Saturday. We are usually concerned for their safety, but to our amazement instead of barking and chaos at the door he went to his basket when asked and sat quietly. He remained there most of the morning even after being told he could leave. At one stage his snoring could be heard by everyone around the table 😁

Trainer note from Mark
Benson is a Spaniel on the edge, nervous of visitors and had got nippy and aggressive toward them and the door. major barker at most things. He responded very well to the owners application of our training focus work and also to the barking and door answering process. Great to hear such a fantastic result after only a week. Awesome work Ladies and Benson. Keep up the good progress.

It was such a relief to see Mark arriving as I had been dealing with a barking problem with Molly since before Christmas and had had neighbour /council complaints. Also in mid December I had fallen and broken my little finger in a number of places and had been in plaster and a splint for five weeks - meaning I couldn't take Molly out for walks either.And she had become really naughty !!! She was absolutely fine with Mark - no big barks or nipping and he proceeded to tell me how I could train her with the aid the Bah word,and claps. No treats as happened at dog obedience !!! Molly has been a different dog both yesterday and today. She is quiet but playful, great on her walks, still very dubious about the big buses and trucks - but not retreating when we watch them from the corner. I felt like crying for joy at the end of the lesson yesterday - she is a changed girl.

- A.M, Karori, Wellington (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
The owner of Molly is a lovely mature lady who was definitely struggling with this young Jack Russell who has various fear issues but essentially just wanted a lead dog. That's what the owner now is in the nicest possible way with losing the great affection they have. Brilliant result and a beautiful pair together.

Our first training session with Mark was amazing! The response from my dog was immediate and has stuck with her beyond the lesson with just a few small changes on my part. I am so glad we decided to give Bark Busters a try and would recommend Mark to anyone who wants to have a great relationship with their dog.

- A.S, Paraparaumu, Wellington (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Awesome dog, Great folk. A happy dog and happy house.

Mark explained things very thoroughly and then we were able put in to practice straight away with good results. Mark was patient and we felt instantly at ease with him. By the end of the training we felt we had the right tools to implement effective training with Burt and knowing that we have a guarantee to allows us to call on Mark if we need require further training is invaluable.

- J.T, Paraparaumu, Wellington (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Burt is was a very exciteable non focussing but loveable wee chap, Just needed the right language to get the focus and brain engaged. Smart wee chap. Great work by the owners to implement the techniques and rewarded with pretty much instant understanding by Burt. Nice effort guys.

We got so much out of our session with Mark...noticed changes in Molly within the 3 hours and that continued after Mark left. He gave us really simple, practical tips and advice that related to our environment and dog. The way Mark delivered the information was personable and non-judgemenatal , making us feel at ease and confidant in our ability to take back control of our dog.

- L.M, Tawa, Wellington (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Molly. Pretty out there and full on all the time, plus a wee toddler in the house, these guys recognised they had to do something to get in charge as Molly really didn't obey anything. Great effort and with practice you'll have good dog.

Mark explained things very clearly and went through a number of training exercises with us for Frankie. We could see an immediate difference in Frankie and were excited to implement the training.

- S.W, Strathmore, Wellington (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Frankie is a clever and pushy wee dog, this clients first dog so basics and learning to speak dog was needed, much improved on lesson one back a month ago and some more skills to apply on the second visit. Huge improvements for a busy household with two little kids.

We found Mark's training to be a turning point in our relationship with our dogs. Since the first training a week ago, the dogs have been more settled and focused on us in positive ways. Mark trained us all as a family, particularly focusing on our teenagers so that they have more confidence and competence to manage the dogs. Consequently they are taking more responsibility in their care and walking and we are all having more fun. The dogs are now pulling minimally on their walks and we are trying new things with them. The training collars and training pillows which came with the lessons are really effective. When we have needed to contact Mark because of issues he has been available to us. Mark's training style helped us feel more calm and confident which is essential when trying to manage challenging behaviours. We would definitely recommend Mark to others needing help with their dogs.

- R.M, Lyall Bay, Wellington (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
These dogs are rehome dogs from very dudious sitation and pretty much no education and at 3 years old there are some very serious behaviour issues but this family are their forever home so have taken on board the challenge and realise the work in progress for one of the dogs. fantastic response from the owners to employ the techniques shown and apply them. I'm looking forward to catching up and seeing progress

I'm not sure who got the most out of the training us or the dogs. Mark is a fabulous guy. Approachable and friendly and with a true passion for his job. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Mark and Barkbusters. 14/5/2017 "We've had people come for training before and were apprehensive about going through with a lesson. Haven't really had any success until now . It's night 3 and we've managed to have 3 nights of no barking during dinner, haven't had to sit outside while the dinner is being cooked either. They were always lovely dogs but now they're quiet lovely dogs." Linda(Okee and Wendy)

- L.J, Lower Hutt, Wellington (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
awesome wee dogs and fantastic caring owners, you'll all do great and happy home guys.

12th May 2017 - Mark Gall

Mark commanded a presence with the dogs and we felt very confident that he was the right person. Mark was appreciative and complimentary of our efforts to date and gave us great ideas. He stayed a long time as he was doing a double lesson and we didn't feel at all that he was keen to finish up. A lovely pleasant guy.

- D.M, Miramar, Wellington (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Great folk to work with and louie and Jetson responded well, certainly consistancy will help but huge improvements already. Our second lesson saw the work put in and much more relaxed dogs. Awesome work guys.
