Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

8th October 2025 - Kelly McClelland

Kelly dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety, Toileting

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely life-changing! Everyone has noticed the dramatic transformation in my 2kg blue chihuahua. He used to be constantly anxious and stressed — barking, lunging at every dog, losing fur, battling frequent ear infections, and always on high alert outdoors. Walks and cafés were a nightmare; my heart would race every time a dog passed. I avoided elevators, outdoor coffee spots, and couldn’t leave my two chi's at home without complaints from neighbours about the barking and crying. Then Kelly from Bark Busters arrived — and everything changed! Within one lesson, a simple command and technique, and a few dietary tweaks worked wonders. His barking was under control immediately after ONE LESSON, and within a month, his skin, ears, and oral health had completely improved. He’s no longer anxious or stressed. His fur is growing back, his ears are clear, and he’s finally calm and content AND obedient. We can now leave him home alone — no barking, no panic, just peace. And he finally stopped marking everything in the house - as in zero peeing on my furniture, bedding and anything that's new. Kelly is absolutely incredible — the best trainer we’ve had in seven years and the only one who’s made a true, lasting difference on every level. Beyond grateful and happy with Kelly. We HIGHLY recommend Kelly, her knowledge is priceless.

- K.F, Paradise Point (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Kelly
Thanks Kinga, it was been such a pleasure to work with you both, and your gorgeous Chi's! Whilst we were focused on your delightful male Chihuahua, the small changes made also positively impacted your delicious female Chi as well, so it was a Win-Win! Starting with controlling the barking, anxiety and marking at home, we gently moved into social skills and scene setting, with our most recent revisit lesson at the busy park on the foreshore at Paradise Point - and WOW, what a difference it has made! I am completely grateful for your commitment to the small changes and your existing knowledge was a beacon of light too (no need to re-invent the wheel!) - thank you again for your kind words - seeing the happiness on both of your faces as we walked past allll the dogs, people, scooter, etc, was absolutely joyous! Well done :-)

22nd September 2025 - Catharina Jeffery

Catharina dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety, Sibling rivalry

Cat is amazing! We've starting using the techniques we learnt in the initial training session and Indi and Kawhi are learning so much already and it's only been a few days! We are very thankful for the training and Cat for helping us learn to be able get the dogs together in one house!!

- H.S, Eaton (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks for your review Hayley! Indi (10yo English Staffordshire Terrier) and Kawhi (9yo English Staffordshire Terrier) are great testament that older dogs can be trained and change their behaviour. I know you have been concerned about being able to have the dogs move in together and their reactivity to each other as well as Indi's barking for attention and Kawhi's pulling and over excitement. They both responded well on the day of their lesson and to have them side by side with each other was a great start. I am confident that with your consistent training at home, that we will continue to see some great results for both of them. I am looking forward to seeing their progress at your next lesson :)

Kelly dealt with Other

Kelly was very thorough and I couldn't believe within 2 mins of her being at my front door she had my dog away and not barking

- J.B, Tingalpa (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Kelly
Thank you for inviting us to come and do your canine assessment - your pup is smart as a whip, and responded well to some small training tips, provided as a part of the temperament assessment for council. We truly wish you both a positive outcome to the situation you're in, thanks again.

22nd September 2025 - Philippa Dakin

Philippa dealt with Barking, Puppy management

Phillipa was extremely professional. She was very calm and had so much knowledge & experience in dogs . We felt at ease the moment she walked thru our door. She took her time to explain everything we would cover in this session . She even had videos which helped us understand the procedures we would use . Freddie responded to Phillipa with heaps of enthusiasm . We found her to be extremely nurturing and full of empathy and compassion for Freddie’s and Mikaylas recent incident . I am confident this is just a stepping stone to use to get Freddie & Mikayla back on daily walks. One of our neighbours stopped me when I was doing the training homework and she had noticed how calm and relaxed Freddie was compared to normal . Of course I told her it was because of our outstanding Trainer Phillipa. Thank you to Kelly also for assisting us with our booking . We feel very grateful for all of you making Freddie’s forever home ( instead of the alternative- we were facing ) . We love our dog and couldn’t think about giving him up after we rescued him from the RSPCA . A million thanks to all at this amazing business .

- C.B, Queanbeyan (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
Thank you for your review. I am so pleased that we can help Freddie and Mikayla to go forward after being attacked by a large dog in the street as they walked along on a walk. Keep speaking dog and I look forward to supporting you in the future with our Lifetime training guarantee.
