A simple and easy way to understand how a dog operates.
Stanley was focussing and listening to me with in a very short time and not pulling on the lead, not rushing the doors, sitting and waiting, he wasn't scared of the world ,was looking around ,checking things out which was not what he was like before.
He would react to anything and try to run away from it including the paddock which we run them in, I could even get him into that paddock at the first attempt to enjoy the space.
There was no pressure on the dog or myself which made it easier to get the message across.
We had thunderstorms that night and with the natural relaxants and Marks Bark Busters techniques Stanley was not worried about them. Still not enjoying them but much less stressed.
Trainer note from Mark
Stanley is a rehome dog for the owners but was extremely worried about life as he'd no training and never been out of his yard , possibly tied up most of the time. A beautiful bull breed cross with a soft nature. He really didn't know what to do. Fantastic response and committed owners . Awesome work

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.
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.

I was amazed how quickly Mark identified the underlaying causes & problems we were having with Becky. I have had dogs for nearly 50 years & I realized that I still had much to learn. The changes I have noticed in Becky's behaviour within just a few hours of implementing Mark's recommendations have been quite astounding.
Trainer note from Mark
Becky is a Lakeland terrier and pushy with it. nice temperament just a bit in charge. She and the owners, active older folk, responded well and applied the process with almost instant results. Still need to keep up the focus work but great so far. Well done guys.

Within 3hrs Mark gifted me an excellent well behaved girl. Mark gave me the confidence in myself to 'Lead' our pack. His calm manner reduced stress both within Lukita and Myself. The training aids & Wagg Walker harness provided are miracle makers. Thank you.
Trainer note from Mark
This clients dog is a very large German Shepherd who was barking at everything and running the fencelines but also dragging the owner down the street. Just a boisterous but strong dog thinking she was in control. Fantastic effort by the owner to apply and diligently do the focus work to get back on top of her pack

Mark was fantastic. We learnt so much on how to get our 5 month old lab focused and listening to us. He started responding straight away and we now have the confidence that we are training him the right way. We have plenty of homework to carry on with and are looking forward to our next lesson. George loves his a Game Changer. Thanks Mark. So worth the investment.

Louie responded well to the techniques that Mark used. Mark gave us lots of practical strategies to try and he took the time to explain why and how his techniques work. We were really pleased to see immediate improvements in Louie.
Trainer note from Mark
Louie is a very clever Poodle x Collie and separation anxiety was one of the issues , at 6mths old it was time to sort it. Great work by the owners and taking on board the communication process. Be awesome to see progress in a couple of weeks.

Right from the get-go Rosie responded really well to Mark's training. He was friendly and informative and was able to answer all our questions and problems directly and easily. Rosie has already shown huge improvement in her previously dominant behaviour in just a couple of days. The techniques Mark taught us are easy to follow and only require small changes in our day to make it work. Would definitely recommend BarkBusters to anyone having any issues whatsoever with their dog's behaviour.
Trainer note from Mark
Rosies behaviours were related to Child fear aggression also to bikes and moving things. This is a dog who never stops moving , whilst in the garden running a racetrack around in a circle on the front lawn. So border collie , always the same way. Lots of OCD but major problem was sibling rivalry with her gentle flatmate buddy. She responded beautifully and it took just a few setups to get everyone on the same page. Awesome work gang.

Mark was absolutely fantastic with Monty and us!!! The change in behaviours was incredible even within the first hour. Mark has given us the tools and confidence and accordingly we feel very empowered to continue on the right path with Monty's reprogramming.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bark Busters and Mark no matter how big or small your dog issues are.
Trainer note from Mark
Both Monty and the family were totally on board with the process and immediate results were seen. Monty is a lovely dog but very passively in charge with a few reactive traits , ie:cats , recall, pulls but during our lesson we walked off lead and in complete control to heal. Great work guys.

Mark was awesome with Reiko ( a 7 month old samoyed) who can be very vocal and can be very stubborn at the best of times. We saw a massive improvement with Reiko on the lead by the end of the lesson, less bolshy behaviour around the house and with 7 months of nearly pulling my arm off, he was walking with a loose lead, couldn't believe it! Mark's instructions were easy to follow, clear and to the point. I took Reiko out for his first walk this morning since the session and actually enjoyed it and felt relaxed. Thanks heaps Mark!
Trainer note from Mark
Reiko is an extremely attention seeking and vocal Samoyd. Super high play drive and a teenager as well. He was put to the back of puppy school due to barking for attention. So far other techniques hadn't worked to develop his focus but during the lesson he steadily got the idea that mum and dad being the leader. Great work guys and I'm pleased Reiko remembered from yesterday. I look forward to catching up soon.

On training day we found Mark to be very knowledgeable and was very good in delivering instructions that was easy for us to put into practice. There was an immediate response on the day and one week post training Zoe is a different dog. We feel relaxed and enjoy taking Zoe out for walks now. Post training phone calls has been good for keeping us all in check and reflecting on whats working well and what still needs working on.
Trainer note from Mark
Zoe is a German shepherd and dog reactive , pulled a huge amount , and had changed her reaction to other dogs since moving, possibly stress but still needed addressing. She responded quite well in the lesson but a week out has improved even more , consistent homework is paying off. Nice work guys well done.
