Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Kelly was great - she talked and walked me through and advised me on ways and means to correct Mavericks behaviour. More importantly she educated me on what to do when these situations occurred and how I was to react and correct the situation. It has only been a few days but I (and others) have already noticed an improvement in his demeanor. She gave me lots of information and things to work on between sessions and how to get the best out of the training. Looking forward to the second session as the first was very positive.

Thank you Kelly for an amazing first session! Ares has already shown amazing signs of improvement after just one session! We are now able to have the kids play freely in the back yard with some simple commands! Thank you again

Kelly is so knowledgeable. Our 2 bichon have stopped barking almost completely. I am amazed. I should have contacted Kelly years ago! I highly recommend her services.

Kelly is amazing. We originally phoned her about getting a companion dog for our dog Frank as he was having issues and we decided to take the leap and get him some training first. Although Kelly is not in our area training session was conducted via zoom meeting and went splendidly. Kelly spent a great deal of time chatting getting to know us and Frank and our concerns and then training commenced. That afternoon we could not believe the change in Frank's behavior automatically just from a few small changes we had implemented and as the week went on it just got better and better. I would really encourage any dog owners to engage Kelly's services. She is approachable, patient and down to earth - no judgement just helpful and easy to deal with :) Looking forward to further changes to come with our Frank the Tank .

I was always sceptical about trainers and believing one would help our situation with two snags, Frankie (male) and Bonnie (female). They bark at the door, they bark at people/dogs on walks and they have severe separation anxiety. It’s a work in progress but my wife and I couldn’t believe how effective Kelly’s queues were to get them on track. It’s true when they say, is it the owner or dogs being trained and 100% it’s us being educated about how to deal with different situations. I took them out on a walk for the first time after the session with Kelly and was utterly blown away. Kelly taught us how to get them not to pull on lead (no bribery) and for 3km they didn’t once go in front of me (pack leading) they were my side for the entire walk. I’m genuinely excited for our next session and couldn’t recommend Kelly enough. If you want straight forward/easy to follow instructions to get your puppy/dog on track, Kelly is the trainer for you!

Kelly was reccomended to us by multiple people, and multiple people were absolutely right. She gave us so much information; from experience, research and such a well rounded knowledge I immediately felt reassured. Kelly gave us a specialised training plan and reassured us our Daschund can be trained! In even 5 days since, our pup has improved MARKEDLY in all the areas of concerns.

We called Bark Busters after a crisis with Murphy, where his separation anxiety reached new levels, and he barked for hours seeking attention, then escaped into our neighbours yard and caused them stress and some vehicle damage. Faced with expense to fortify our yard and detail their car, we decided it was time to address Murphy’s anxiety, and rather than fortify his home to make a prison, we decided to pay Bark Busters to help address his separation anxiety. After the first training session, we now understand how to communicate with Murphy and we have the tools and an approach, and are beginning to see results.

I can’t thank Kelly enough! Cooper weighs almost half of my weight. He is a gentle giant Labradoodle but I haven’t been able to control his very loud bark, jumping and pulling on lead, meaning I had lost my confidence out in public with him. Kelly’s advice was absolutely straight forward and sensible and I am buzzing that both Cooper and I did well in our first lesson. It’s really about training me as the human! Kelly has given me so much confidence with such positive results in just 1 lesson. I am so excited for our next session! Cooper ignored the rubbish trucks today, and ignored a courier delivery next door and for the first time ever hasn’t entered the kitchen. Cooper enjoyed the training just as much as I did… I 100% recommend Kelly as a dog and owner trainer…I can’t believe what we were able to achieve in 2 hours! Thank you so much Kelly!!!

Frankie responded so quickly to the new commands. Information was delivered in a very clear, warm manner. With further sessions I know Frankie will achieve his full potential

First visit by trainer was very successful. We learn a lot and Penny responded well to training

Kelly was absolutely knowledgeable and helpful. We got some very useful tips in what to do and what not to do. Highly appreciate her time and expertise. We were very happy with the session, looking forward to the future session/s and we have been practising and are excited about Tinkerbell's progress with certain behaviours :) Highly recommend Kelly.

Kelly is an absolute dog whisperer. She is so full of knowledge & opened our eyes up to things we would never had thought about. Both our dogs responded straight away to the training. My partner & I were almost hopeless with what to do with our two, with constant fighting which just kept getting more aggressive & more constant, though just after the first session with Kelly & implementing the things she taught us & the training they are both like different dogs & have hardly fought since. We couldn't recommend Kelly enough! We were hesitant to try a another dog trainer again after bad experiences with past trainers but we are so grateful we did as Kelly is worth her weight in gold.
