Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

12th January 2024 - Kelly McClelland

Kelly dealt with Pulling, Recall, Other

1st lesson went well. We learnt a lot from Kelly and found we were doing some things wrong as well as a few things right! In the few days since, Fran continues to be very responsive to the basic training. The next big step will be when Fran has to be trained to overcome distractions and fear outside our fenced yard. We are confident that Kelly will show us how to fix this.

- G.S, Beaudesert (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Kelly
I firstly like to thank you for taking on a rescue dog, they always deserve all the love! It was a pleasure to work with you both, you were already doing so many things right, and with some fine tuning, Ms Fran really responded to the extra layers of structure and focus via programming. Gaining control at home is crucial, and next lesson we'll be working on her external focus and dog reactivity, so you can start enjoying park walks and travelling with your gorgeous girl. Well done!

10th January 2024 - Ken Tran

Ken dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry

We only did the first meeting for 2hrs with 2 French bulldogs for whom we miserably failed their training in the past. Ken was very clear and helpful on the different actions we were to take. His explanations were adapted to each situation and he answered all our questions. We are at the beginning of our journey and we will need Ken for more sessions but already we have seen a lot of improvement in our dogs' behaviour. We try to stick to the exercise schedule sent over by email and remain as consistent as possible. Ken also told us that we could send him a message at any time, which is reassuring when you don't remember an action or face a different situation. The material given is greatly appreciated and even if it was the first time we heard of such a method, it is full of common sense. It is of very good value as the sessions are unlimited and you can even call Ken or another trainer when you move area, if you need a refresher after one year, Ken told us. Again, we only had one session so far but we look forward to having the next one.

9th January 2024 - Kelly McClelland

Kelly dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Other

Kelly - you are a lifesaver. We honestly are amazed with the difference in Shijo after our first meeting with you. We know that we still have a way to go to perfect our new skills but what you have taught us has made a huge difference - we now don’t have to listen to incessant barking and can walk through the door without struggling to get inside before Shijo. I am sure that our neighbours are grateful too.

- T.T, Wellington Point (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Kelly
It was amazing to meet you all at lesson one, thank you for ensuring everyone in the family is invested in Shijo's training, consistency is everything! So much noise LOL, so much barking, I could certainly see why you were all so worried for your neighbour's sanity (and your own!). At the first lesson, when corrected for the barking her response was instant - her body language relaxed, the pacing slowed to almost stopped, and she stopped trying to bully your adorable older boy. We focused on the barking, of course, but also door racing, cat management, walking politely on lead and recall - she is such a darling, and responded like a dream! I am looking forward to working on the street next lesson, focus on pulling, dog reactivity, lunging, road manners and safety and just being a good kid! No one needs a robot, I love her spunk, and it was great to see everyone pleased with her improvements - well done team!

9th January 2024 - Paul Labrum

Paul dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry

The training that my husband and I learnt from Paul has been invaluable. We noticed a huge difference in the "problem behaviors" during our first session with him, and both of our dogs already seem much calmer and more relaxed. On our first walk after meeting with Paul, our dog who usually drags us along on walks, was already walking side by side with us, not pulling on the lead, even with other dogs around. Paul made us feel very comfortable and was more than happy to answer all of our questions and explain everything to us. Would certainly recommend.

- R.F, Doveton (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Paul
Thanks for your kind words Rhiannon. As I said during the lesson Buddy was quite fearful and you and Matt taking over the leadership has helped him relax and let you make the decisions. He and Kora are so worth the effort and you know where to find me if you need further help.

8th January 2024 - Glen & Maureen Guelfi

Glen & Maureen dealt with Chewing, Digging, Jumping up, Recall

Thanks for recommending the BARF diet. Have transitioned to raw food which has made a difference to Gypsys behaviour. Glen was great with Gypsy and had an immediate impact which was impressive. Challenge now is to keep going and reinforcing. She is better with us but still not good with visitors and other dogs. Early days and know we have the support we need.

- P.C, Mount Lawley (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thank you, perseverance and consistency are key.

6th January 2024 - Glen & Maureen Guelfi

Glen & Maureen dealt with Recall

So glad we contracted with Glen to help us teach Buddy (9mth old golden retriever) RECALL, but also general good manners. Buddy is progressing in leaps and bounds. He's taken to the training very positively. Its simply a delight wo work with him now and he seems grateful too for our new leadership skills. Thanks Glen. Highly recommended!!

- C.C, Roleystone (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thanks Colin, So happy that Golden Retriever boy Buddy is doing so well.

4th January 2024 - Michelle Reay

Michelle dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Other

Excellent session. Extremely helpful.

- K.C, Toowoomba (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Michelle
Thank you for taking the time to do a review. It was great to work with you and Keea and to get her feeling comfortable with the lead. Incorporating the training techniques into your daily interactions, so that she is looking to you for her cues and feeling confident in your leadership, will help her to continue to grow and build confidence in all areas.

2nd January 2024 - Philippa Dakin

Thank you Philippa

2nd January 2024 - Ken Tran

Ken dealt with Barking, Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling

Great session with Ken. Even after only 3 days I can see a significant improvement in behaviour. I am really enjoying implementing the training programme and seeing such positive results

- K.K, Surry Hills (Testimonial)

1st January 2024 - Glen & Maureen Guelfi

Glen & Maureen dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Puppy management, Separation anxiety

We were extremely happy with Glen and Maureen's help with our 2 pups. All of our issues were addressed and any issues since our first meeting Glen and Maureen were happy to give us advise. I have already recommended bark busters to some friends and would encourage anyone with problems with their dogs to contact Glen and Maureen. They helped us tremendously

- J.O, Brabham (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thanks Jason, we are super happy that the pups are doing so well. keep up the training for even more glorious results!!!

30th December 2023 - Kelly McClelland

Kelly dealt with Pulling, Recall

Kelly is very professional and responsive on phone/email! She is direct and clear with expectations and very knowledgeable in explaining the theory behind the training. It’s great there is no treat training or harmful techniques involved! And in the first lesson, our dog Banjo was already responding. Definitely recommend!

- K.R, Mudgeeraba (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Kelly
Thank you both so much for your kind review - he is so much fun! Border Collie's need that focused mental stimulation, otherwise they make their own fun (which is generally not the same idea we have in mind LOL!). We focused on getting a ground work of control, recall, walking politely, racing doors to get inside (and the front door too!), and we will solely focus on his dog reactivity, lunging, crying / whining on lead out the front at lesson two. Seeing how relaxed his body language became at lesson one was brilliant, he is an amazing dog, and really loves to work for you both! See you soon for more fun training!

30th December 2023 - Callum Anderson

Callum dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Sibling rivalry

Rusty has made a huge amount of progress in a short space of time. His behaviour has been very much improved and he’s much calmer

- M.M, Hillarys (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Callum
It has been an absolute pleasure to meet you all. Rusty is doing wonderfully with his training. He is listening well and his walking has completely turned around. Well done on your practicing! Thank you for taking the time to do the review for us :)
