Emma dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
We had our first session with Emma earlier in the week. From the very start we have immediately noticed a positive shift in our reactive dog's behaviour. The tools and tips Emma has taught us are so simple to apply and have already made such a huge difference in the way our dog interacts with us. Highly recommend!
Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Tahlia. Jake, the 16 month old Kelpie, didn't really want to be naughty, he just didn't understand what you wanted or where he fitted within your family. Now, with your leadership, he can relax into being a calm & well mannered boy. Keep up the awesome work & I'm looking forward to seeing you guys again soon.

Kye & Todd dealt with Hyperactivity, Puppy management
Within the first session of Todd from Bark Busters coming to our home we noticed our dog immediately responded to the techniques we were taught and by the end of the session it was like we had a different dog! We are really happy and excited to be working with Bark Busters to get our border collie cross cocker spaniel puppy out of her bad habits.
Trainer note from Kye & Todd
Hey Leshay, Watching Daisy respond so well to the Bark Busters was great to see. I am looking forward to seeing how she improves moving forward. Remember I am only a phone call or message away if you any questions about anything.

15th July 2026 - Kristie Toombs
Kristie dealt with Barking, Jumping up
Wow wow wow. Kristie really knows what she is doing! My dog was barking to no end and I tried everything! After the first session she blew me away. My dog was begging, on her bed and most importantly NOT BARKING! If you want an incredible trainer to solve your problems, Kristie is your girl. Im still blown away.

Kye & Todd dealt with Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up
Todd is very professional and knows what he is talking about and knows what he is doing.
My Staffy pup was not listening and was out of control and after an assessment I was so surprised on how good Todd could get my pup to listen .
Trainer note from Kye & Todd
Thankyou for the review Mel, I'm excited to continue the training and getting on top of all the boisterous behaviours!

12th July 2026 - Kelly McClelland
Kelly dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
We had heavenly bliss the first night after Kelly's visit, from a dog who barked at every little noise he could hear to nothing, I just never thought it would be this easy. The training begins to making him even better than I could imagine. Thank you Kelly
Trainer note from Kelly
Poodles are the most wonderful companion, and it is so important that the training improves the negative habits, without changing their beautiful personalities. Bark?! Wow, what a top notch guard dog - but tempering the barking to things that are to guarded against (door knock, someone on the premises, etc) was crucial. No one needs to know a leaf fell 3 suburbs away and has to be barked at LOL! Your gorgeous baby picked up door manners, corrective barking habits, lead work, and recall were all focused on at lesson 1, and we'll get down to some fine tuning, and on the street manners at lesson two. Such a great wee doggo!!!

9th July 2026 - Philippa Dakin
Philippa dealt with Barking, Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Puppy management
We have been absolutely blown away by the incredible change in our puppy after just one session with Bark Busters a few days ago.
Phillippa is professional, compassionate, and truly puppy-focused. Her ability to understand not only our puppy’s behaviour but also the dynamics of our family was exceptional. She provided practical guidance that has already made such a positive difference.
We would happily give Phillippa a 10/10 and are looking forward to our next lesson as we continue building a happy relationship and enjoying our puppy again.
Thank you, Bark Busters, and especially Phillippa, for your knowledge, patience and support!
Trainer note from Philippa
It was an absolute pleasure to spend time with the family and to see Teddy the Sheepadoodle responding and enjoying the training. Getting things in place , and getting ready to welcome a new baby to the family. Well done to everyone for consistent good communication. I look forward to the next time. With lifetime training guarantee support is always there.

Kelly dealt with Puppy management, Sibling rivalry, Toileting
Kelly has been amazing. We were feeling so anxious about buying two dogs and already she has given us so much information and guidance and we haven’t even had our one on one training yet!
Trainer note from Kelly
Double Trouble! Getting a puppy is overwhelming, getting two is a major committment. I applaud your family for taking the step of getting training done before the pups came home, and then following through once they arrived. Setting up safe zones, positive crate training, gentle lead introduction, recall - it's all happening! I'll see you all soon for lesson 2, then you and bring both pups to an FOC session of puppy school to start their social journeys in a safe environment. Huge well done, I am looking forward to continuing their training journey!

Emma dealt with Separation anxiety
Emma was understanding and thorough with just the initial session making a drastic difference to the relationship between our family and dog. The new knowledge and routines help us all feel less stressed and better communicate our needs! Highly reccomend and am so thankful for Bark Busters approach. We should have reached out sooner!
Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Claire. With your leadership, Drax can be the chilled out, relaxed Great Dane that we knew he should be. Keep up the great work.

30th June 2026 - Laura Burton
Laura dealt with Barking, Digging, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall
We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Bark Busters and our trainer, Laura! After just one lesson, we’ve already noticed such a huge improvement in Buddy’s behaviour. The techniques Laura taught us were easy to understand and put into practice, and Buddy responded almost immediately.
Laura was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain why Buddy was behaving the way he was, which gave us so much confidence. It’s amazing to see how much he’s already taken to the training after only one session. We can’t wait to continue working with Laura and see Buddy’s progress. We highly recommend Bark Busters and Laura to anyone looking for effective, positive dog training!
Trainer note from Laura
Hi Laree, I just wanted to thank you for taking to the time to do the review, it is great when I get great feedback like this and I'm looking forward to working with you all and Buddy. Have a great rest of the week and see you next week 🙂 Laura

27th June 2026 - Ric Kennedy
We had a great training experience, Ric was fantastic, the way he explained about talking dog. We have continued the process and our very barky pooch has really quietened down in just 24 hours. I would highly recommend Ric to anyone who has a reactive and barky dog.
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Janet Thank you so much for sharing this — I’m really glad you both enjoyed the session. It was a pleasure working with you and your boy, and it’s wonderful to hear how quickly he’s settling and finding his calm. Those early shifts can feel huge, and they’re a great sign of what’s possible with a bit of consistency. You’ve clearly put the work in at home, and it shows. I’m thrilled you’re seeing such a difference already. I truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation. It means a lot. Kind Regards Ric
