Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials
28th January 2024 - Catharina Jeffery
Worth every penny! I was super happy with our first session with Cat! I won't lie I was super nervous but also super excited as all I wanted was to do right by my fur baby and be the best leader I can be for her. Not only was Cat super clear and easy to work with but she was very understanding and not condescending at all. Our main goals were to better Mazakeens recall and get rid of her reactivity however after our first session I was surprised to see such a difference in her all round behavior, she is much more relaxed and is eager listen and learn. I would 100% recommend Cat and her services to anyone who is having difficulties with their training. Can't wait for our next session and to see the progress we will continue to make!
Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks so much for leaving a review Aqua! It was lovely to work with you and Mazakeen and see how well she responded and focused on you while we worked on her on lead dog reactivity as well as her barking issues. I look forward to seeing her progress at our next lesson :) Well done!!

Philippa was knowledgeable, patient and attentive during our session. She addressed all issues I had concerned with my German Shepard, Jaffa. From barking, fence jumping and walking on the lead. I highly recommend her as Jaffa’s behaviour improved within minutes. She provided handy tips and booklets with everything I needed to continue training Jaffa for a better quality of life for both me and my dog.
Trainer note from Philippa
Both Talia and Jaffa are great students and focused throughout practicing the training. They are set for success. With lifetime support training support is only a call away. Well Done to the pack!

Ken was great. He explained everything clearly and simply and we could put the training to use straight away. The barking decreased immediately and two weeks in the barking is so much better. Leash pulling is taking a bit longer but we will hang in there with a few extra visits from Ken to help us out. We are finally the Alpha in the dog/owner relationship and it was easier than I thought it would be.

Blown away but the different training style than I've seen and after 3 days really impressed with the results Im excited to see what happens in the future 😊
Trainer note from Stefanie

Kelly was very informative and described the training program in a manner that was easily understood. We noticed an immediate improvement in Mishka’s behaviour.
Trainer note from Kelly
I LOVE working with Poodles! Thei smart attitude, and willingness to engage in training is also so rewarding. Thank you both for being so honest and upfront with the issues with Mishka - lesson one we really focused on the jumping up, barking, separation anxiety, and door racing. Improvements in her walking manners was instant as well, and I am looking forward to lesson #2 where we'll get out and about with distractions to work on her timidity and lack of confidence in public. Awesome work!

Training was great and I’ve noticed Enzo has been responsive to the training.

I can't recommend Kelly enough! By the end of the session my dogs had already made an improvement and they’re getting better and better every day! I wish I did this sooner!
Trainer note from Kelly
Ahhhh, the wonderful world of the barking Dachshund LOL! Working hounds are so much fun, so much attitude, it is awesome! Your two babies had tipped the scales into over reactivity, over guarding, door guarding, and moving into fear reactivity/aggression, which was really upsetting for your family. Seeing both of your Doxie's relax with the initial training, was just great, to watch your confidence grow with gentle control was even better! I can't wait for lesson #2 where we'll target the off site issues - pulling, lunging and dog reactivity, and then after that, onto group training, yay! Amazing work, well done :-)

We had a great first session with Micaela. She was incredibly patient, warm, understanding and obviously very good at what she does as we've seen an immediate change in Stan. Looking forward to continuing the program and getting our boy super chilled and obedient
Trainer note from Callum
Stanley was a busy boy when I first met him. Seeing him recently on my second visit he was a different dog! Keep up the great work with him. I was lovely seeing that the anxiety he had was dramatically reduced. Love seeing happy relaxed dogs!

Kelly was amazing! Definitely worth it, just after one session and already have seen a huge improvement
Trainer note from Kelly
What an absolutely delightful Labradoodle puppy! So sweet, but so much energy!!!! Tackling the normal puppy issues, like toilet training, crate training, lead work, jumping up, mouthing and biting - and adding some tailored issues like lounge manners (jumping up and over), racing upstairs (and setting "no-go" boundaries), correct socialisation, door racing and recall. Your location near the beach is going to be fabulous for lesson #2 - recall with distractions, walking politely and losing focus ("squirrel LOL"), road manners and road safety - I can't wait! Thank you for your consistency with the training, well done :-)

Glen has a lot of great knowledge! he taught us how to establish leadership with our dog, and to have calm and safe introductions with guests in our home. We are so pleased with the results after just one session!
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen

Kristie dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Sibling rivalry
Kristie has been wonderful, we are at the beginning of our journey but so far it’s been really eye opening (in a good way). I’ve learnt a lot and Kristie has been really understanding of the complexity surrounding my dog. I’ve seen a marked improvement after one session and look forward to continued practice and training to give my dog a healthier and happier lifestyle. Thank you!
