Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Glen was fantastic a really good teacher.

On March 15th 2023 I adopted an abandoned 12 month old black German Shepherd dog. He was a 40 kg big, headstrong, wilful dog who demanded attention all the time. I had previously owned 2 Shepherds and thought I was up to the challenge presented by this one but 2½ years later, despite my constant efforts and training, I was losing the battle managing his behaviour. The difficult decision to part with him was a very real dilemma. However I made one last attempt to keep him and Googled 'Dog Behaviourists' and Bark Busters looked like it could be helpful. A few days later we had our first training session with Ric and we made progress immediately as I learned to 'speak dog' and then to establish my place as the 'top dog in the pack'. I was shown how to implement techniques to manage his undesirable behaviour and subsequently his ability to make good behaviour choices became apparent. Now after only two training sessions I have a different dog. His behaviour at home has improved greatly, welcoming visitors nicely is possible, and he is able to calmly encounter other dogs on our daily walks. A huge change for the better. We still have much work to do, and probably always will, but he is becoming the loving, beautiful companion I so desperately wanted. Bark Busters has saved us both and I am so grateful to Ric for his valuable help and guidance. Thank you

Kye was awesome Odin responded immediately. I strongly believe that with the support from Kye and guidance Odin will be a beautiful well behaved dog.

I have owned dogs all my life (over 50 years), and I didn’t think there was much more I could learn—until I met Laura. From our very first session, I was amazed by how much she taught me and how effective her methods were. Our new rescue dog, Tella, came to us with very little training. Laura’s approach was firm yet gentle, and the change in Tella’s behaviour was immediate and noticeable. What impressed me most was how Laura not only helped Tella, but also gave me the confidence and tools to manage the challenges of a large, intelligent dog. Thanks to her guidance, I feel reassured that Tella will go on to have a positive, happy life with us. I cannot recommend Laura highly enough—her knowledge, professionalism, and care have made a world of difference.

Mikey was already a great puppy, but I particularly struggled to have her attention when outside on walks, and whenever guests came over. Bark Busters gave me great tools, including the collar, which gave me back control. She responds super quickly, and I feel like she’s almost immediately turned into a calmer, happier dog, even just after a few days!

Glen was spectacular with his training and coaching. We were given a thorough lesson prior to engaging with Torro with much of the lesson focusing on human behaviour and learning to be empathetic with our dogs. The training was far more insightful on our behaviours and implementation provided immediate results with our boy. I highly recommend Bark Busters as we were provided with 1:1 support in our dogs environment, provided ample time to implement strategies while Glen is present and kind mentoring which never places the dog in any harms way. Thanks Glen, Sue and Bark Busters.

Maureen is a true expert when it comes to training dogs. Within 3 hours, she taught me everything needed to create a calmer and more obedient dog. Also helping Tilly to feel more secure.

We are so appreciative for Glen’s help. You have corrected many of our mistakes and taught us how to deal with pulling, hyperactivity properly. Thanks a lot.

Kristie is very knowledgeable and her guidance in correcting our dogs aggressive barking worked pretty much immediately. The changes for all our family to implement and to continue working on creating a relaxed home to where hopefully soon we can have visitors come to our home without Kingston barking aggressively. We look forward to working with Kristie in our next session to improve our struggles when walking him. Our family are incredibly grateful, thank you!

Testimonial for Bark Busters and Maureen Guelfi Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of raising many dogs, but none quite like the beautiful and spirited Coco. He's an independent pup with a strong personality and a tendency to "rule the roost." When the peace in my home—my sanctuary—began to feel disrupted, I knew it was time to seek professional help. Bark Busters was my first choice, as I had a positive experience with them in the early 2000s. At that time, we had a German Shepherd named Duke, and a friend of my husband's recommended Bark Busters. Although I wasn’t personally involved in Duke's training, the transformation was remarkable—he became an obedient, well-mannered family companion. Last week, Coco met Maureen Guelfi for the first time, and the change in his behavior has already been incredible. Maureen helped me understand that Coco was confused by my lack of leadership, and she patiently taught me how to take control in a calm and confident way. Thanks to Maureen's guidance, Coco is now so much easier to manage, and the sense of peace in my home has been fully restored. I’m looking forward to our next session and continuing this journey with Maureen and Bark Busters. Sincerely Kim Knott
