Amazing, already recommended to friends this morning.
Took Banksy to the park today different dog, did not run off at all when off his lead and other dogs in the park! Played hide and seek and he loved it. Practiced all the techniques we learnt and have one very happy dog and family. Banksy now fast asleep, happy house.
Trainer note from Mark
Banksy is a 1 year old Labradoodle x Boxer, hence full of beans. Great temperament and loves dogs and people , a little too much. problems of exciteablity , jumping ,barking , running away to visit strangers on the other side of the park. Great lesson , whole family involved and all succeeded in refocusing Banksy. Nice work Team Banksy

Mark was great at getting us on the right track with Harley. He's already responding well to being outside, left alone and travelling in the car. He is still a puppy and a work-in-progress. Looking forward to working with Mark to give us a happy home.
Trainer note from Mark
A client from many years , Now on the puppy management process again. Great steps forward so far and we'll do more sessions as Harley grows. Well done Harley

After searching for an in-home dog trainer for quite some time, Mark was the only one that made the effort to call/text/email back quickly and offer advice BEFORE we set up the 1st appointment. (Alot didn't bother to reply at all or would refer us onto others due to my Pup's breed). Very personable and really knows his stuff! Peaches responded well to the training and we've put things into action already. I've noticed a huge change in not only her, but the way we interact as well after only one session. She was quite fearful of walking down our stairs & leaving the property, after a few MINUTES, she was able to do this - minus the fear. He gave us alot of great information and it's the first time in my life I'm looking forward to doing homework lol. Mark is worth every penny and then some! I can't speak highly enough of him. I'd 100% recommend to anybody looking for an in home dog trainer. :)
Trainer note from Mark
Peaches is a lovely Mastiff pup but very scared of life, noises , won't go out the gate. Puppy management and basics was the aim for the lesson and little peaches managed to get out the gate and down to the park on our first lesson. So far progress is awesome. Great work Guys.

Mark’s suggestions, training techniques and his supportive nature gave me the confidence I needed to get Gus and Benny on track. The positive results I’m aiming for were already starting to show in the time he spent with us and I am looking forward to continuing his lessons and watch my boys grow into the great dogs I now know they will be, all thanks to Mark.
Trainer note from Mark
A great session with Gus and Benny, Both needed adjustments and sibling rivalry was starting to appear into their play. Both very different in there temperaments. Nice work by the owner to implement the techniques and keep the adrenalines low.

Thankyou so much Mark what a difference a couple hours training has done. I have a happy settled dog and I know now my life is going to so much easier now that I have learnt the skills to manage my lovely Ollie. Thanks so much
Trainer note from Mark
When I arrived Ollie a 13mth Spoodle greeted me at the door with full on jumping , hyper excitement then proceeded to bark for attention very consistently. 1st step was to get the owner to quiet Ollie just so we could talk ,so with the Bark Busters speakdog technique Mum had him quiet in minutes. He responded well to the training and for the first time in pups life a guest could sit and chat quietly. Ollie is an awesome dog but was just oo exciteable . Great work Ollie and Mum.

Trainer note from Mark
Rocky is a 5mth Chocolate lab who because of Xmas and holidays didn't have a puppy school training.. Clients are new to dogs so the in home one on one was ideal to teach the owners to teach Rocky. Greta pup , good temperament and full of play as most pups are. He responded well and the basic s are well on the way , Follow up sessions will come as he grows. Nice work guys.

Pipi was a hyperactive dog that didnt listen very well, 10 minutes after Mark arriving she had stopped using the back yard as a race track, started listening. 2 weeks after Marks visit pipi is a completely different dog, shes much more relaxed, responsive, its a pleasure to take her for walks as im not being dragged down the road, i can have people come round an not fight with her over the front door. i had tried a few different training outfits but none can compare to Mark, we still have a way to go but its a relief knowing that with the lifetime guarantee i have help and support a phone call away. Thanks again Mark
Trainer note from Mark
Pipi is a 3.5 yr old Lab x staffy x collie potentially. Extremely hyperactive and with huge adrenaline , barking and fear aggressive issues, also pulling and recall a major problem, A rehome dog for the owner. Pipi and Kelly both worked extremely well and Kelly was able to implement the training techniques as we walked through the various behaviour problems. Pipi showed focus quite quickly and it'll be great to catch up and see the results. No treats needed training.

I was a bit nervous at first because of how Jett behaves but after just 10 minutes or so Mark had help to get Jett quite and that made me feel better. Jett did really well for this first session. I'm very happy with how Mark is non-judgemental even when I stuff up or Jett decides to dig his heals in. I would recommend Mark Gall from Bark Busters to anyone and it's great comfort with the lifetime guarantee, knowing that if something else happens down the line I still have the support. Looking forward to a positive outcome in the future. Let the hard work being.
Trainer note from Mark
Jett is probably the most aggressive dog I've encountered over the last year, through no fault of the owner but through stranger association when he was a small pup. This has led to extreme fear aggression of anyone coming close to him or owner and his territory. Barking was manic, aggression high. The first task was to quiet him down so we could just talk, he achieved that quite quickly and then through our focus exercises the owner was able to refocus Jett in situations that normally can't be controlled. Great commitment by the owner and great result on the day. I have no doubt he will be a work in progress but a good win so far. Awesome work team Jett.

Marks training session was extremely beneficial and we have had instant results by implementing his techniques. His training methods and plan were clearly explained, logical and easy to put in to practise in daily life without using treats. For the first time in two years I have been on a nice walk with my dog without being pulled down the street and she is generally calmer and happier around the home. I wish I had done this sooner!!

It was very impressive training Brownie with Mark. We could notice the difference right from the moment Mark entered the house. Mark helped me become Brownie's leader and even though Brownie is still a work in progress, she's much more calmer and obedient inside the house now. I've been able to establish a special bond with my dog over the last 3 months which I clearly struggled for the first 2 years (before we asked Barkbusters for help). Mark also went to the extent of offering us a second lesson on his subsequent visit to Wellington which is so much appreciated. I would strongly recommend Mark as an expert dog trainer and I wish I had contacted BarkBuster's a year earlier when Brownie was still a puppy. Also, the Barkbusters long leash and harness have been such a help in training Brownie to walk outside. Would also recommend both of them.
Trainer note from Mark
Brownie is a very exuberant young Rottweiller with very little know ledge of boundaries when I first visited. Now a much better behaved girl. Great work by the owners to apply the training technique to end up with a happy relaxed dog.

What an absolute pleasure to meet and work with Mark, the results were amazing within a few hours. Already the next morning Ziggi stayed out of the kitchen, as an example.
