Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Hi - Loved Kelly immediately! She was kind, friendly and loved dogs. She pointed out what we were doing wrong immediately and told us what we were doing right. She immediately fixed our night time crying issue and nuisance whining and we had only had him 4 days!!!! He has slept through ever since! She helped us with everything from toileting, food choices, sleeping arrangments. The first session was a great informative session and we all got some sleep after! Second session - within less than a minute she had Fred not running through the door when opened. This woman is a magician! Couldnt believe it and so glad to not use choker methods or other cruel methods. Would highly recommend!

Very happy with the training methods used. I had engaged another trainer previously but struggled with his methods & feel it made Marley more anxious. The day after Kelly came, Marley was actually walking nicely on lead & not lunging or cringing behind. Within a week she seems calmer & looking to me more. Still a long way to go as she is still bad with other dogs though I was able to have her walk past another dog on lead & she calmed down a lot quicker. I now feel more relaxed knowing that help is there.

Just wanted to give a big shout out to Kelly from Barkbusters. That's me in the video in an earlier post with the 3 dogs, which is hard to believe given how they were just weeks ago! Issues included aggression, fighting between them, barking, fence rushing and over guarding and some separation anxiety. Also walks had become very stressful for us as we couldn't pass other dogs or cats without barking and lunging. Kelly had been recommended to us a while ago but we waited until I had finished my FIFO job to really be able to put the time in and create consistency and routine for them and us. As soon as Kelly met the dogs she picked up the tension between our two girls and explained the behaviour of all three and why they were behaving that way. For us, re-establishing ourselves as alpha and supporting their pecking order has changed everything. We noticed a change in our most stressed dog almost immediately and the other two have settled more as a result. We have only made minor changes, including getting crates for all three where they all now eat and sleep (even the clingy Sheltie), changing their diets a bit and walking them on the Barkbusters collars. Plus lots of recall training and other bits and pieces that help to reinforce the pack pecking order. They are by no means perfect but they've been so responsive so quickly. To anyone wondering if it's worth the time and money, it is if you're prepared to do the training! We can't recommend Kelly enough. Looking forward to our next lesson!!

We recently rehomed a 3 year old Rotti who had absolutly no manners or training, she is a sweet girl but dominating, pushy and impossible on the lead. We met with Kelly and wow, within the first lesson I could not believe the change, no pulling on the lead, doesn't barge through the doors, in fact she will move back and wait patiently until we are in or out. 2 weeks on and Storm has improved greatly, I cannot thank you enough Kelly for all your training help, and for educating us as well. Thank you!

Kelly came out to see us to help with our Standard Dachshund, Dudley. He had very bad anxiety separation and we were moving house soon after our appointment with Kelly and were worried about new neighbour's. After the first visit with Kelly we couldn't believe how much his behaviour improved literally over night. The training is very comprehensive and really very simple and easy to carry on after Kelly's been. Kelly was lovely and very calm, understanding and very thorough. Can't recommend highly enough.

Kelly is awesome and can't get a better trainer. She has been doing our puppy school for years after she help one of our nurses with her golden. Both my labs have done puppy school and now are big dog school. Maple my 8 month lab is being a handful and she has been awesome at keeping me calm and working with her. We are slowly getting there. My 4 year lab who still goes every now and again couldn't be a better dog and it's cause of all the training over the years with Kelly.

Within 2 hour period our puppy went from barking constantly for no reason to hardly any barking at all. I would definitely recommend Bark Busters to everyone.

Kelly was fantastic with our two little dogs Buddy and Bella. She introduced a whole new world to us when it came to owning dogs. We love our dogs very much (perhaps too much) and Kelly showed us a respectful 'line in the sand' and the need for boundaries and a leader in the home. This and many others skills which we implemented have created great positive change in our little household. We feel more in control now, and our dogs seem to be more settled in themselves. Together with her amazing knowledge and experience in general dog wellbeing, training, diet etc our dogs are more contented and so are we! She has been a real blessing to us and our dogs. Thank you Kelly.

Extremely pleased with the training and couldn't believe the change after one lesson. It was very interesting and I learnt tips I can use with my other dogs. I found the training different to what I've done before but the results where quicker.

My 3 year old rescue dog Jack didn't bark when I was home but would bark for hours when I was away. The neighbours were caring but understandably annoyed and it was definitely stressing me out! I tried the citronella and sound bark collars with absolutely no success and thought that I would have to give Jack away which broke my heart. One visit from Kelly and Jack stopped barking during the day and has improved so much with his behaviour and not jumping on people. Kelly went through all of the basics with Jack and I and we've enjoyed doing the daily training she left us with. I can highly recommend a visit from Kelly to sort barking and other behavioural problems! It's great value for money considering the other alternatives my friends and I have all tried with our rescue dogs!

Kelly came to us to assist with our 10month old Cavoodle who is very anxious and was barking a lot at the neighbors and everything else !! After the first session she suggested getting him crate trained to assist with the anxious behavior and somewhere safe for him in the backyard. Within 3 weeks he is now successfully crate trained and a much happier and calmer dog with using the strategies that Kelly gave us. We are definitely one very happy customer!!! Thanks so much to Kelly for all of her assistance.
