Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

I cannot praise Kelly enough for her help with our border collie, Mia. Mia is a rescue who has severe anxiety and I had tried everything I could think of to help her. I realised I might need some formal training, but I was sceptical about how a 7 year old dog could be trained. However, I felt this was my last option. I had one lesson with Kelly, and within a few days my dog had transformed. I now have a happy, calm dog and all of our lives have been improved. I cannot express how grateful I am for Kelly's help, this was absolutely the best decision I could have made, not only for Mia, but also the rest of our family. It really does defy belief that one session can change a dog, but it really has. We have ongoing training of course so Mia is constantly improving as well. Kelly is also a wonderful support for any ongoing issues I have and responds quickly to any questions I have. If you have any issues at all with your dog, I highly recommend Kelly and Bark Busters to help!

John was extremely helpful and is teaching me the skills to have a happier relationship with Honey.

Reggie is growing into a large puppy with high energy and with some bad behaviour traits including mouthing, jumping and running excitedly through the house and garden. He was chewing up his lead, his chest harness, the car seat belts and everything else he could get into his mouth. He was living at a frenetic pace. However when he was tired or worn out he was very loving and peaceful. He showed no malevolence, he was just extremely active but his mouthing was leaving a lot of scratched limbs on his owners, both of whom are senior citizens and on anti clotting medication. Walks were on a chain lead because of his chewing and he was very difficult to control although he loved meeting all humans, young and old and all dogs large and small. He was simply a super highly energetic child. He also showed signs of high intelligence and was house trained and knew how to sit and drop and come to you, however the last he thought was optional. In the first visit Michelle countered all of Reggie's bad behaviours and gave us a clear path on how to change him into a loving and obedient dog. The change from the very first day was dramatic and has continued through her second visit two weeks later. Reggie still has the energy but knows he must temper this with his love, respect and obedience for his owners.

Thank you so much Glen. You are simply amazing.

Glen was a good trainer. I learned so much as Ginger is my first dog. Will continue to train and see how it goes. Thank you.

We used Ken to help train our dog for barking and walking issues as well as sleeping. He quickly bonded with Archie and advised a key point of owners need to show a level of authority. From there we moved to very simple techniques to achieve this and practiced those with Ken present and then after the session. Ken followed up regularly and paid a second visit which was very useful to keep the training going. We would recommend the bark busters approach as it’s practical and also not stressful for our dog.

We have just had our first training for our 1-year old puppy, Jiren who has displayed multiple unwanted behaviours and we have seen significant results at the end of the lesson. Michelle, our trainer has provided us with the right guidance and tools in order for us to interact accordingly with Jiren, which is also conducive to correcting his unwanted behaviours. She explains the rationale behind the training that we do and has been extremely patient with us throughout the first lesson. Michelle has also been genuine about wanting to help us as owners become successful in training Jiren. It is reassuring to know that everything about the process will be a rewarding and satisfying experience!

Before Bark Busters Turbo used to run the house. He used to jump, dig and even have some aggression towards people. With the help of Jane, we have been able to get Turbo to sit and wait when people come over and walk on a lead with no issues. Even though turbo is not perfect and tests us some days, Jane is always there to pass on advice. We now are the pack leaders and our lives are so much better. Thanks Jane.

Charlie is progressing with his training

Bark Busters have been an amazing! Especially Jane, she's been fantastic. She was willing to book our first lesson on the weekend due to my work schedule and when Jane first met Mya, she knew exactly how to respond to Mya's anxiety and barking. Jane gave us the guidance and steps to take in order for Mya to be a happier, healthier dog! Which she has. Thank you so so much Jane!!
