Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

I was rather surprised to find my understanding of dog training had missed the mark so crucially.

Stressed, skeptical but desperate, we contacted Mark having read his reviews on Facebook. We have two English Pointers, Poppy and Lilly and a Bullmastiff Sharpei cross all with different issues. Two weeks out from moving from a 10 acre block to 500m by the beach house, I finally bit the bullet and contacted Mark. Dogs have run free off lead for a couple of years and have parents with different handling styles. Husband, typical Kiwi, she'll be alright and me tearing my hair out because of the barking at anything. Our first session was yesterday. Within a couple of hours we saw amazing results. Training with Poppy and Sully I managed to walk both dogs on lead and off lead! This morning I was sure I would not remember anything. No worries though, feeding time was a breeze. I opened the door, gave one correction and all three dogs sat and let me go out first. I even had to call them to come out I don't trust reviews, I didn't believe we would ever be able to walk the dogs without being pulled along. However, I have today, on my own whilst Hubby was at work managed a short 300m walk with all three dogs OFF LEAD to heel. They would normally just run off and ignore me. This will make a huge difference to our life near the beach. Thank you Mark for training us how to communicate with our dogs 🐕 😀

Keith was amazing! What he said really clicked straight away. Frankie would wake me up constantly through the night with her barking but it took one night of training for that to stop. Now I get a proper sleep and so does Frankie!!!

We were a wee bit skeptical that Mark could give us the tools to have Ed behaving as a member of our family rather that a issue. After our first Ed was a changed dog. We learnt a lot of valuable information about how to connect with Ed in a way he understands. We still have a way to go but all signs are good that the new skills we have are going to give us an awesome dog for many years. Highly recommend Mark's service.

A great morning. Knowledgeable beyond belief. It was a very informative lesson and 3 days in and im seeing results and a demeaned change already. Can’t wait for follow up lessons.

Mark was absolutely incredible , we are so so thankful , truely just in a few hours completely changed our relationship with our dog and made our dog much more relaxed in his own home. We are so happy we have the right commands now with our dog. Marks service was completely worth it and we are so grateful

Mark came to our home to support us with our 14 month old Rottweiler Mavericks. We were struggling with quite a few behaviours with Mav particularly around his big emotions to other dogs, lead pulling and attention seeking. Mark thoroughly talked us through the process, acknowledged our concerns and worked with us in an encouraging supportive way to help address these concerns and correct and refocus the behaviours. By the end of the session we felt as though we had so much more understanding of how to work alongside Mavericks and by the end of the session we had results. I truely could not recommend Mark enough he is highly knowledgeable and we feel as though we have gained so much confidence back and a big weight has lifted from our shoulders. Thank you so much Mark!

Mark spent a lot of time with me and Molly, as Molly has a few issues and I was a bit stuck on how to deal with most of them. I really appreciated Mark's commitment to working through all our concerns. Molly loved Mark and responded really well to the training I applied. She is calmer already. It is a work in progress to deal with her reactivity, but we are already going for short car journeys without the barking. And when we are out, she will sometimes now ignore cars passing by. I think she feels more trust in me now and security with me. The Wagg Walker harness is fantastic, and when I do the check of the lead, Molly knows I want something from her. We will continue with the techniques we have been taught. Mark is very prompt to respond and I feel more confident knowing he is there to help with the lifetime support package

Mark came into our home, we sat down discussed our concerns and what we wanted to work on. He put some plans into place and then showed us how to go about the plan and use the tools provided. Mark is very good at what he does. Tui and Murphy are both doing well with the training. I would reccommend Bark Busters to anyone looking for help with there dogs.

Mark was very informative, friendly and clear. We were worried with our dog Goose sometimes showing aggression to strangers entering the home but Mark talked us through everything and we had no problems. Goose’s leash walking, selective hearing and reactivity at the window have all improved. We have a way to go with his excitable tendencies but at eh appt with improvements so far!

Wow! What a transformation in such a short time. Totally worth having Bark Busters guide us through the training with wee Gino 5.5mth old Mini Schnauzer with a big attitude and loud and often bark issue. But also help with all other obedience problems.

I am so glad we have gone with Bark Busters. Keith was fantastic with Lilly and made us feel that what we want to work on is achievable. Keith is so knowledgable and able to explain the techniques in such away that the entire family understood and are able to put in place We have already seen a positive improvement in Lilly and are looking forward to our next session with Keith
