Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

I was so close to having to say goodbye to my English Staffy I’ve had for 8 years. He’s struggled to settle into apartment living and neighbours were complaining of his whining. A recent incident where Diesel had locked himself into the bathroom for 8 hours and things were not looking good. Gabriel came the next day after making initial contact and within days I’ve noticed an improvement. Walking on a lead he was aggressive to bigger dogs and yelling when stationary at the traffic lights whilst waiting to cross. I’ve been trained and the most helpful information I received was the dog psychology and how they think. I couldn’t even go out for dinner with friends as I felt guilty for being at work. Now I’m so relieved as I can go to work and do social things and don’t feel like a prisoner in my home.

My dog is very timid and as a result was growling at everyone that came near me and even biting people. He was also trying to attack any dog that came near him out of fear. After one visit with Ken he has settled down so much within a day. I am truly impressed. He hasn’t growled at anyone or barked once since ken left. Max even slept outside my bedroom for the first time since we moved house.

Excellent service. Explained clearly and patient with my inefficient BAH - still not very effective but working on it

Graeme is amazing. The techniques he taught us have worked wonders on Millie. We can open the front door without the risk of her running out. We can go in the car without having to wear earplugs. Our neighbours now like us again as the random barking to stir up the other dogs has nearly stopped. A bit more practice with her walking and we will have the ideal little puppy. All thanks to Graeme “the dog whisperer “. Highly recommended.

Loved our first visit Michelle was awesome and can already see improvements

I cannot praise Kelly enough for her help with our border collie, Mia. Mia is a rescue who has severe anxiety and I had tried everything I could think of to help her. I realised I might need some formal training, but I was sceptical about how a 7 year old dog could be trained. However, I felt this was my last option. I had one lesson with Kelly, and within a few days my dog had transformed. I now have a happy, calm dog and all of our lives have been improved. I cannot express how grateful I am for Kelly's help, this was absolutely the best decision I could have made, not only for Mia, but also the rest of our family. It really does defy belief that one session can change a dog, but it really has. We have ongoing training of course so Mia is constantly improving as well. Kelly is also a wonderful support for any ongoing issues I have and responds quickly to any questions I have. If you have any issues at all with your dog, I highly recommend Kelly and Bark Busters to help!

John was extremely helpful and is teaching me the skills to have a happier relationship with Honey.

Reggie is growing into a large puppy with high energy and with some bad behaviour traits including mouthing, jumping and running excitedly through the house and garden. He was chewing up his lead, his chest harness, the car seat belts and everything else he could get into his mouth. He was living at a frenetic pace. However when he was tired or worn out he was very loving and peaceful. He showed no malevolence, he was just extremely active but his mouthing was leaving a lot of scratched limbs on his owners, both of whom are senior citizens and on anti clotting medication. Walks were on a chain lead because of his chewing and he was very difficult to control although he loved meeting all humans, young and old and all dogs large and small. He was simply a super highly energetic child. He also showed signs of high intelligence and was house trained and knew how to sit and drop and come to you, however the last he thought was optional. In the first visit Michelle countered all of Reggie's bad behaviours and gave us a clear path on how to change him into a loving and obedient dog. The change from the very first day was dramatic and has continued through her second visit two weeks later. Reggie still has the energy but knows he must temper this with his love, respect and obedience for his owners.

Thank you so much Glen. You are simply amazing.

Glen was a good trainer. I learned so much as Ginger is my first dog. Will continue to train and see how it goes. Thank you.

We used Ken to help train our dog for barking and walking issues as well as sleeping. He quickly bonded with Archie and advised a key point of owners need to show a level of authority. From there we moved to very simple techniques to achieve this and practiced those with Ken present and then after the session. Ken followed up regularly and paid a second visit which was very useful to keep the training going. We would recommend the bark busters approach as it’s practical and also not stressful for our dog.

We have just had our first training for our 1-year old puppy, Jiren who has displayed multiple unwanted behaviours and we have seen significant results at the end of the lesson. Michelle, our trainer has provided us with the right guidance and tools in order for us to interact accordingly with Jiren, which is also conducive to correcting his unwanted behaviours. She explains the rationale behind the training that we do and has been extremely patient with us throughout the first lesson. Michelle has also been genuine about wanting to help us as owners become successful in training Jiren. It is reassuring to know that everything about the process will be a rewarding and satisfying experience!
