Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials
24th April 2026 - Ric Kennedy
We can't recommend Rick highly enough. He was amazing.
We had an issue with introducing an excitable Boxer with a small puppy and were so worried about the puppy getting hurt.
Within an hour of being shown how to introduce them and how to manage the older dog, they were later that day laying together, walking around like life long mates.
He also taught us how to walk the Boxer so we are in control and not being pulled. Well worth the money paid and would recommend him to anyone who is having problems with behaviour or just want a well trained dog.
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. I’m really glad to hear how beautifully George and Poppy have settled together, once the right structure is in place life long bonds are made. It’s always rewarding for me to see the shift when customers go from worry to happy glow when harmony is enabled, especially in situations where size and energy levels can feel overwhelming. I’m so thrilled the walking techniques have made such a difference too. When you’re in control and your dog understands what’s expected, everything becomes more enjoyable for both of you. I truly appreciate your recommendation and the trust you placed in me. It was a pleasure working with both you and your dogs, and I’m so glad you’re seeing such positive results and fast too. If you ever need support down the track, I’m always here to help. Thank you Ric

Kath dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
Kathy has been amazing. First session was long and extremely thorough. We have seen instant positive changes in our dogs behaviour. We feel understood and fully supported by Kathy. Having rehomed a dog with known aggression problems, have some big behavioural issues to address, yet with Kathy’s guidance and staged professional approach we are very hopeful.
Trainer note from Kath

Kath was great and Charlie is responding really well to the things he has been taught. I love how much he has improved to being the family dog we are after
Trainer note from Kath
Thank you for your review! Charlie's a great young dog and its awesome seeing that sharp kelpie mind at work and understanding what you want - whether that that be mowing the yard in peace or enjoying a walk without being pulled down the street - and by understanding his needs his aggression problems should begin to resolve too - great work and good boy Charlie!

Kelly dealt with Pulling, Recall, Other
Kelly has been very helpful, training has been easy with her guidance. she is very knowledgeable. i have no hesitation recommending her to anyone looking to train their dog.
Trainer note from Kelly
Thanks Ash! I am thoroughly enjoying working with you both, and thanks again for taking on a rehome/rescue, he's such a delight. Large breeds, like Irish Wolfhound crosses, need focus on control, and each session your improvements are incredible. We've already focused on separation work, door banging, pulling, recall, and night time manners. I am looking forward to consolidating last sessions' education on street work, by going for a walk and working on lead reactivity. Thanks again, and well done!

Kath dealt with Aggression, Other
My little dog Crystal has a few issues with people, dogs and taking flight when nervous. Kath has shown how to correctly walk her with a collar instead of a harness and already I am seeing changes in her, she seems a lot more relaxed which makes me extremely happy. Kath is a easy person to talk to I throughly enjoyed my 1st session with her.
Trainer note from Kath
Thank you for your review! It's been wonderful seeing the positive changes in Crystals behaviour and also in you! Just being able to enjoy walking her instead of dreading it has opened up a whole new world for you all. I look forward to revisiting when your new home is ready and we can work on the other areas you need assistance with around the home!

Fantastic experience. Ken really knows his stuff. He listens carefully to our needs & is able to clearly instruct all members of my family on handling our GSD.
Trainer note from Ken
Thanks Christine, Champs aggression will be resolved once he sees consistent leadership from his humans. Our goal will be to get him walking with a loose lead past dogs and to not react!

Glen & Maureen dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Glen was fantastic with our dog Bagel right from the moment they met! My husband and I were so impressed with Glen’s understanding of dog training, and he was fantastic at educating us and making sure we understood everything. Bagel’s behaviour instantly changed with understanding his standing in our family, and the techniques we’ve learnt have helped us immensely and instantly. Glen is an amazing dog trainer and dog parent trainer, and I would recommend his services to anyone struggling with their dog. Bagel’s truly such a good boy now, we cannot be happier we emailed bark buster. Thank you so much!
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thanks Nicole, Bagel is such a nice dog!!!

Glen & Maureen dealt with Chewing, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall
I can't thank Glen enough for his help with training my 11 month old Aussie Shepherd puppy, Charlie. Within minutes of Glen arriving, Charlie was showing changes in behaviour. Glen explained how to address Charlie's hyperactivity, reactivity, pulling on the lead during walks, and chewing. It was clear that Glen is incredibly knowledgeable and he helped me see Charlie's behaviours under a new lens. The methods he helped me implement have honestly been incredible. I was amazed at how quickly Charlie responded to the training and how much more relaxed he is. Glen has been over since for a follow up, and I couldn't be happier or more grateful!
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thanks very much Erin, I am grateful for your words and super happy Charlie is responding so well, keep up the great work.

Philippa from Bark Busters did a wonderful job educating our family on how to train a 7-month-old Doberman puppy. Philippa was very understanding of our situation and had all the answers we needed, and we felt a lot more confident understanding and controlling our dog after the first lesson.
