Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

We rescued our 2 year old Australian Cattle Dog, Kelly helped us understand his behaviours and how to correct the smart working dog. Kelly is brilliant, she has drastically helped us in correcting Bear with barking, pulling on the lead jumping and listening to commands. Very happy with Bark Busters for further behavioural training.

Excellent first meeting, informative , relaxed and unhurried. Kelly is an amazing trainer who certainly has a passion for what she does. We feel extremely lucky to have her onboard to show us the right way and be part of this journey. Thakyou

My dog was always jumping on people, barking and with my new son was getting aggressive. Kelly showed us techniques we can use to control his behaviour and now we when visitors come over they are surprised by the difference in his behaviour. Around my now 5 month old son he hardly even pays him attention anymore and if he does he keeps his distance and isn't aggressive towards him now.

Kelly has helped us so much with our two staffies! We have successfully crate trained them, which they love ! And have now learnt how to correctly walk with no pulling using the techniques Kelly showed us. The continued support and information Kelly has provided us has exceeded our expectations! Highly recommend

For anyone interested - i had a 2-3hr home consultation with Kelly from BarkBusters this week and she was AMAZING!! Gave me so much info around diet, crate training, obedience/discipline, toys, treats, plants/allergies etc. My boy Xander was already a lot better the night straight after her visit and has continued to improve everyday since. I have my sanity back!! ? If you are having any issues with your pups i would highly recommend her she was just wonderful, really friendly, great with Xander and explained things in a simple way but with great detail at the same time. My only regret is i didn't do it 3 months ago when the naughty behaviour started!! ? BIG THANK YOU TO KELLY! ?

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!

Kelly is absolutely fantastic. We have a 50kg German Shepherd who was running the household and with Kelly's help and expertise he is a completely different dog. He is now so respectful and an absolute joy to have around. We cannot thank Kelly enough for her help and we are sure Jake appreciates it too as he is a much happier dog.

Kelly is amazing, we cannot recommend her highly enough! Our gorgeous rescue dog Macy was a barker when anyone/anything would go past our house, she was anxious and we struggled to get her out the door somedays so we could get to work. We had unwittingly let Macy believe she was the leader of our pack, a role that she was not comfortable with at all. Kelly gave us the tools and training to give Macy peace and calm. She still has her sweet nature and beautiful personality but she is calm, is definitely more secure in her environment and her manners have improved ten fold. We can't thank you enough Kelly! And your follow ups have been the icing on the cake.

Thank you Kelly, we are sincerely grateful for all of your help/advice.....so too is Max :)

Kelly has been a fantastic asset to our household. From the first lesson Max has improved and continues to improve in his behaviours. The training given by Kelly was easy to understand and she was very patient with both my husband and I in learning the commands and how to use them. The advice and information she gave us was spot on and worked immediately.

Kelly was an absolute lifesaver. Before our first session, it was impossible to take Malibu on a walk because he pulled so hard on the lead the entire time and I wasn’t strong enough to hold him back. He defended the fence line of our backyard like his life depended on it, constantly barking at our neighbours and jumping up on our fences, doing damage to our relationships with our neighbours as well as damage to the actual fences. Malibu also jumped up on people and did not know his own strength, making him a bit of a danger to my younger siblings who often come to visit. Kelly gave us the skills to fix these issues in our first session. She explained everything to us in a lot of detail and spent a lot of time making sure we understood what we were doing and why, watching us correct Malibu’s behaviours and instilling confidence in us. Malibu responded so well to the training and is now a much happier dog! After our second session with Kelly this week, we feel confident to talk Malibu on a walk knowing he won’t pull us along with him. Kelly also went above and beyond when Malibu was being dog-sat by a family member, as she made herself available for any questions and advice they needed so my new husband and I wouldn’t be worried about Malibu on our honeymoon. I’m looking forward to our next session with Kelly and continuing to see Malibu’s improvements! If you’re on the fence about whether or not to give this training ago, I highly recommend you just go for it! It has been the best decision we’ve made, for Malibu’s sake and our own.

Thanks Kelly for working with us to train our beautiful dog Bailey. We can’t begin to describe the difference we saw in him after your initial visit to our home. Prior to your visit he was constantly barking whenever the neighbourhood dogs barked or whenever someone walked past our house with their dog, which was every morning and afternoon. Bailey used to be the first one at the door and would bark aggressively and he thought he was the boss in our home. The techniques you have shown us were simple yet amazingly effective. We have been spending approx. 5 minutes a day of reinforcing the techniques you showed us and he is like a new little dog. When someone comes to the door he sits behind us and just waits patiently to greet our guests and when the neighbourhood dogs bark he runs to us and just sits beside us quietly and is listening to our commands. I would highly recommend Bark Busters to help train your dog, our only regret is that we didn’t get in contact with Kelly earlier.
