Winston’s training has become significantly easier with Bark Busters influence. His respect and attentiveness increases dramatically with every session outlined in the program with poor behaviours decreasing rapidly. There has been a marked difference both in Winston’s understanding and our own with regards to training/learning principles which allows us to pivot in unrehearsed situations. If you have made the commitment to add a dog to your family, bark busters is a fantastic option to ensure your new family member is obedient, trusted and a positive influence on your life (with lifetime support as well!!!!)

Glen & Maureen dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling
We were desperate for help with a jumping, barking 7month old puppy. It was getting to the point where I could never relax, and was always pulling the dog off the kids. She was just an excitable, exuberant puppy. I was amazed at how quickly Penny responded to Glen and his training methods. At the end of 2 hours, we had a different dog. She’s calmer, we are less stressed and she isn’t jumping up at the kids, the table, the guests. He is also walking at heel which I didn’t think would ever be possible!
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thank you very much, I'm very happy to hear she is doing so well.

Philippa dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
Phillipa hit the ground running and got straight into showing us techniques to stop the dogs barking at visitors and made each step in our training easy to understand. Phillipa included my daughter and myself in the training so that we both felt confident with each activity. We could see a change in both dogs nearly straight away which was absolutely amazing!! I feel that even though a week has passed, the dogs are calmer and responding to the techniques we are using.
Trainer note from Philippa
Lovely to meet you and be able to support you in training Max and Blossom with Barking, recall, walking and boundaries. Well done to all of you. With Bark Busters you always have support with training. The journey has begun! Great to know they are responding with positive changes.

Philippa dealt with Barking, Recall
Philippa came to our home on a Sunday morning to help us with advice training our 6 year old, ex breeder, rescue Cavalier Ruby. We had been unsuccessful for over 12 months to stop her barking and understanding our commands. Philippa had Ruby understanding these issues very quickly and we have been able to continue this training ourselves with a little effort each day. We are amazed at her progress!!! Her anxiety also seems to have settled down somewhat too. We would definitely recommend Philippa and Bark Busters to anyone who needs help with their dogs. Worth every dollar we paid!!!
Trainer note from Philippa
Ruby has now found her forever home and great pack to be part of. Ruby is a 6year old ex breeder rescue King Charles Cavalier. She is loving building trust and respect with her new leaders speaking dog. Well done and I look forward to the onward journey.

13th June 2025 - Kelly McClelland
Kelly dealt with Puppy management, Recall, Toileting
We had used Kelly for our previous dog and he was a beautifully behaved boy. The techniques she uses are simple and make sense and the dogs respond well. Once again we are using Kelly to help
Us navigate the puppy journey with our new boy. She is very good at her craft!
Trainer note from Kelly
Another gorgeous boy for your home! Murphy is just delicious, and so super smart for a puppy. Once again you've done the right thing by getting onto training as a preventative measure, and we sorted mouthing, lead training, sits, and started on recall at lesson 1. You were able to apply the training principles to get toilet training under control, and at lesson 2, we'll work on door manners, drop, and stealing items. It is always so rewarding to work with a return client, thanks for trusting Bark Busters with our Lifetime Support Guarantee for your new Labradoodle - he'll also have a ball at his FOC session of puppy school, which is included! Thanks so much, and well done for your commitment :-)

Emma dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling
Emma quickly understood the problem I was having with my two year old Maltese Shi Tzu called Molly. The advice Emma gave me along with a practical demonstration of how to moderate Molly's behaviour resulted in an immediate improvement in Molly's focus and manner. With further application of the advice Emma gave me I am sure that Molly's behavioural problems can be fully dealt with.
Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Ernest, it was a pleasure meeting you & Molly. Keep up your great work.

Kristie dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Separation anxiety, Toileting
Kristie was super knowledgable and everything she tried with Gary worked on the spot. Everything she suggested we try after she left has also worked wonders. Gary still had a way to go, but thanks to Kristie's guidance, we are confident he will get there.
Trainer note from Kristie
Gary is a beautiful boy that is a little confused and lacking in confidence. With the help from his humans and our training program he will do really well.

Michelle dealt with Barking, Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall
We’ve only had one session so far, but having Michelle come out has made a huge difference — to Lucy, our one year old German Shepherd, and to us. She immediately understood what was going on and gave us clear, practical advice without overwhelming us. For the first time, we felt like someone really got what we were dealing with.
Lucy can be full-on — energetic, strong-willed, and at times completely out of control. Michelle didn’t judge us or make us feel like we were doing things wrong — she just calmly showed us what to do and explained why it works.
Even after that first visit, we noticed a real change in Lucy’s behaviour. It’s early days, but we finally feel like we’re on the right track.
Trainer note from Michelle
Thank you so much for this lovely review! I’m so glad to hear that our first session made a real difference for both you and Lucy. She’s such a smart, spirited girl with so much potential, and it’s clear how much you care about doing the best for her, you’re absolutely on the right track — and I’m here to support you every step of the way. I can’t wait to see how much more progress Lucy makes in the coming weeks!

Glen & Maureen dealt with Chewing, Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall, Separation anxiety
I really enjoyed the training, within an hour Max could walk on a leash. It was good to see how such little and simple behaviour changes that I make could affect the dogs so much.
