1st February 2026 - Kelly McClelland
Kelly dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling
We were so impressed that Kelly was able to solve the demand barking problem of our 20 month old cavoodle, Margot ,within the first 1/2 hour of her visit! She went on to explain this, and further training in a clear and easy to follow way. Since the first visit, not only is there NO demand barking but Margot is walking on the left, and bothering our cats much less. Thank you for bringing harmony back into our household Kelly, your visit was truely life changing!
Trainer note from Kelly
What a fun lesson! Working with your delicious Cavoodle, Margot, was truly enjoyable, she has a beautiful temperament (which we don't want to change)!!! Creating balance within your home was crucial, as the cats have a right to freedom (after all, we are their staff!), but also for Miss Margot to understand that barking, play demanding, over guarding, pulling, jumping up and door racing were just not the behaviours your family deem appropriate (and rightly so!). She responded like a dream, and the fact that your family has followed through with the easy instructions is so amazing, massive well done - can't wait for lesson #2 :-)

Emma dealt with Aggression, Barking, Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
We had our dog Milo trained at 7 months old, and the experience was nothing short of fantastic. Milo is a Kelpie, so he’s clever, energetic, and full of personality — and our trainer understood him straight away. The training methods were calm, clear, and incredibly effective. We saw huge improvements in Milo’s leash walking, barking, reactivity while on lead, and overall anxiety. Walks are now far more enjoyable and stress-free, and Milo is much more settled and confident.
Not only did Milo make great progress, but we also gained valuable tools and confidence as owners. We’re so grateful for the patience, knowledge, and genuine care shown throughout the process. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a skilled, trustworthy, and compassionate dog trainer.
Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Aby, I'm glad to hear that you are still on track and happy over 4 months after our training started. Milo is a beautiful boy & with such loving owners he will continue to grow into that amazing dog that he has become. Keep up the great work.

Ken dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling
Ken is a wonderful trainer.
From the very first meeting he was able to help us understand the problems we were having with Bailey and showed us very effectively how to resolve them.Bailey reacted well to him and we have seen a huge improvement in Baileys behaviour just after one session.
Ken has followed up a couple of times already to see how we’re going before our next meeting. His approach shows he’s someone who cares about getting it right and is very passionate about what he does.
I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog trainer.
Trainer note from Ken
Thanks you for your kind words Effie, I really appreciate the opportunity to help you and Bailey. So happy to see him respond so quickly to our techniques.

I’ve never had such a well behaved dog, in such a small amount of time. It’s crazy the difference it has made. We still have some moments of old Gemini but 80% has changed for the better thanks to Glen

Was an absolute amazing experience to just get that extra sharpness in command response and start improving recall and hyper vigilance.

Hi Maree, It was great to work with you & your 2 beautiful Border Collies. You already had a great foundation with your training with them, and now with your leadership & guidance they can grow into brilliant dogs. See you soon.

Michelle you have changed our lives!
We cannot get over how quickly Coco (and Sandy) have adapted to becoming well behaved dogs.
You are amazing and we are so grateful.
Trainer note from Michelle
Thank you so much for your beautiful words. It has been an absolute pleasure working with you, Coco, and Sandy. Coco is such an intelligent Swiss Shepherd—she picks things up so quickly—and sweet Sandy has the loveliest nature, always trying her best. Seeing them both settle into calm, well‑mannered routines so fast is a credit to the work you’re putting in at home. I’m thrilled to hear how much their progress has changed life for you. I’m grateful for the opportunity to support your family, and I’m always here if you need anything as the girls continue to grow and learn.

Ric dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Separation anxiety
Highly recommend Ric from Bark Busters. I have 2 German shepherds that are great dogs but needed just a little tweaking and in my first session I was able to learn the right correction technique for helping my dogs make decisions for themselves. I loved the fact that Ric came to my home to see my dogs in their environment and he spent a considerable amount of time just explaining everything to me so I now am confident in understanding my dogs needs and become the leader they need.
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with your two German Shepherds, and I’m glad the first in‑home session has helped your confidence and adding good techniques and understanding to your training and their needs. They’re fantastic dogs, and your commitment to learning and leading them will make all the difference as they continue to grow. Kind Regards Ric
