We were very pleased how much we achieved in our first lesson and the changes in Cruz

- B.M, Balcolyn (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Martin
Thanks Brett for your review. I'm glad you're pleased and what we achieved with Cruz so far, keep up the great work and looking forward to our next lesson.

10th March 2026 - Kelly McClelland

Kelly dealt with Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Puppy management, Recall, Toileting

I cannot say enough positive things about Kelly. From the moment we met and she came to our home we felt reassured and knew we had made the right decision in joining BarkBusters. Kelly was so informative and caring, really listened and knew exactly what was needed to do in assisting us to train our cheeky toy poodle Rusty. :) We are excited for our next lessons and for the well trained dog I know Kelly will help us achieve. Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou.......

- t.w, burleigh heads (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Kelly
Oh, my absolute pleasure, thank you so much for your kind words! Rusty is a cheeky, confident, super smart and active poodle pup, and we don't want to squash his personality! But apartment living can be very stressful if there is barking, separation issues, lead training, nipping, social manners and obedience - constantly going past other dogs (lift, common areas) is very stressful when your dog is being a clown! The first lesson was fabulous, you both were so kind and attentive, and Rusty soaked it all in - second lesson we'll do more work with distractions, and get the walking and public happenings under control. Well done!!

10th March 2026 - Kelly McClelland

Kelly dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety, Sibling rivalry

Kelly has already after lesson 1 been able to assist our family , enabling boundary setting , setting hierarchy in place to deal with behavioural issues and getting us to a calm space

- J.W, Gold Coast (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Kelly
Your whole family gets 5 stars! Everyone was at our first session, ensuring there would be consistency, and that everyone knew how the service worked for the benefit of the dogs. Sibling rivalry (fighting between 2 or more dogs in the same home) is terrifying for the owner/s, and once the owners are injured trying to split the fights, it is definitely time for professional help. We've started with base training for your two Frenchies, setting boundaries, providing safe zones, and teaching them that it's all ok! Gentle, consistent, and with loads of love - I am thrilled by your photo updates of the dogs already walking together, and resting in the loungeroom near each other, completely at ease - see you all soon for more fun training!

8th March 2026 - Kye Morris

Kye dealt with Other

Kye is honestly one of the best dog trainers I’ve worked with. My dog had resource guarding issues, and after just a few sessions and following his plan, it’s like the problem never existed. He communicates really clearly, listens well, and always remembers the little details about our dog and past lessons. He’s also super available whenever I have questions. I’m so impressed with the results and would highly recommend him to anyone feeling stressed about their dog’s behaviour. He also addressed other little habits I didn’t notice before or raised with him. I would really recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable trainer with real results!!

4th March 2026 - Philippa Dakin

Philippa dealt with Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety

Had a fantastic experience with Philippa from Bark Busters. Everything was explained in an easy to understand way and we could see the results with our two dogs immediately. She gave us all the right tools and techniques to continue our training at home so now it’s up to us to be consistent with it!

- E.H, Canberra (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
it was a pleasure to train with Odie Bernadoodle 2years old, and Ruffles an Irish Wolfhound X. Setting new boundaries with good recall and loose lead walking. Both responded so well. Best behaviour and manners with the arrival and welcoming of a beautiful baby girl. Great work. The journey has begun!

3rd March 2026 - Glen & Maureen Guelfi

Glen & Maureen dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling

🐾 BARK BUSTERS MAGIC! 🐾 We had the best experience with Bark Busters Home Dog Training, and I just have to share it! From the moment I filled in their online form, the communication was amazing — quick, clear, and super friendly. Because a spot opened up, we even got booked in within the week! 🙌 When Glen arrived, our dogs wasted NO time showing him their usual “talent”… aka loud, chaotic front‑door greetings. 😂 But honestly, Glen worked magic from the second he walked in. He reset the energy in our home instantly and showed us how to take the lead in a way the dogs understood straight away. The best part? ✨ Training was done at home (so convenient!) ✨ NO treats, no shock devices, no gadgets — just simple, calm communication ✨ He taught us how to show the dogs what we expect ✨ Our “family pack” hierarchy finally made sense ✨ And the results… were JAW‑DROPPING from day one 🤯🐶 We learned so much, Glen was fantastic to work with, and the dogs responded better than we ever imagined. I 100% recommend Bark Busters to anyone with dogs — honestly the only downside is that I wish we had called them sooner! ❤️🐾 #BarkBusters #DogTraining #WorthEverySecond #HappyPups #DogParents #GameChanger

- H.L, Perth (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Many Many Thanks for your kind words, I am delighted that they are doing so well.

2nd March 2026 - Emma Reeves

Emma dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling

I was unable to be at the first training lesson due to work commitments, my wife was very skeptical about the training as we have had experts before but with minimal results, after the first lesson my wife rang me and was over the moon with the results she had seen in the first couple of hours with Emma's tuition and with the ongoing lessons felt confident we could get control of our headstrong puppy

- C.T, ROCKINGHAM (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Craig, It was great to work with your wife & your beautiful German Shepherd puppy. As with all puppies, training does take time and commitment, but with the new leadership at home, Lily will continue to grow into a well mannered and well behaved dog.

2nd March 2026 - Martin Blattman

Martin dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling

We can’t thank Martin enough for the incredible transformation we’ve seen in just a few days. Before we started training, Ollie’s behaviour when visitors came to our home was overwhelming — he would become overexcited, jump up constantly, and struggle to settle. Walks were just as challenging, as he pulled relentlessly on the lead, turning what should have been enjoyable outings into stressful experiences. Thanks to the knowledge and guidance we received, Ollie has made remarkable progress in a small amount of time. He is calm and shows self-control, when anyone comes to the door. Ollie is also showing progress with our walking training in the backyard. The training methods Martin provided were clear, practical, and tailored specifically to Ollie’s needs. We felt supported every step of the way and learned so much about how to communicate with him effectively. We’re so grateful for the positive impact this has had on our daily life. I would highly recommend this trainer to anyone struggling with similar issues.

- K.H, Largs (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Martin
Hi Kim, thank you for your review. It was great to work with you and the rest of the family with Ollie's behavioural issues and to see the positive results we made by the end of the lesson. Keep up the great work we did and I'm looking forward to our next lesson. Regards Martin

28th February 2026 - Emma Reeves

Emma dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up

Thank you Emma for showing me how to communicate with my dog. Now that I know how to express what I want, he is less confused, more relaxed and me too!

- C.D, Shoalwater (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Cecile, that is exactly what we want - relaxed owners & relaxed dogs. Keep up the great work & I will see you soon.

28th February 2026 - Kelly McClelland

Kelly dealt with Barking, Recall, Separation anxiety

From the very first lesson, Kelly was able to explain some of the reasons for the issues we were having, with appropriate training routines to suit provided immediately. We have been following her instructions with very good results. From anxious barking dogs to a calmer home and greatly reduced barking. Looking forward to our next lessons now! Thank you!!

- F.W, Mermaid Beach (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Kelly
Apartment living is just brilliant, until your dogs are waking the neighbours or breaking into the peace and solitude through the day when you're working. We really understand how mortified you were to find out that your babies weren't being angels - I am so grateful that you invited Bark Busters Home Dog Training to come and assist you in your home - your two pups are absolutely delicious! Tenterfield Terriers and Maltese x Foxie's are both such fun breeds, but can certainly be verbose if not worked mentally - apart from the main focus of barking, we also addressed and focused on jumping up, pulling on lead, recall, stair racing and door manners. I am looking forward to doing more training off site at lesson 2, dog to dog confidence and manners, and walking politely to be the main points to improve. The quick changes you're seeing are 100% down to you as an owner, thanks so much for your committment to our easy system!

26th February 2026 - Ric Kennedy

Ric dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall

Ric was professional in following up on our enquiries and arrived on time for our first session. He explained things very clearly and was patient with our questions. Ric is obviousy passionate about dog training and this could be clearly seen in how he dealt with our dog on the day. We look forward to the remaining sessions as we are already seeing results with our Doberman. Thanks Ric!

- R.L, Brahma Lodge (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Ric
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback. It was a pleasure meeting you and your Doberman, and I’m really glad to hear the first session felt clear, supportive, and productive. Your engagement and great questions made the work easy, and it’s wonderful to know you’re already seeing positive changes. I’m looking forward to continuing working with you and building on the progress we’ve started. Thanks again for your trust and kind words. Kind Regards Ric
