Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials
26th February 2024 - Catharina Jeffery
We have just had our first session with Cat and can already see a huge difference in our little pooch. She was very uneasy with our newborn and highly stressed about the situation, snapping and growling as our bub is starting to crawl. She’s more relaxed and following our commands clearly now that we know how to speak her language :) thanks very much Cat we are very grateful for the changes already seen and look forward to learning more!
Trainer note from Catharina
It was great to work with you and Vada (4 year old Pomeranian cross Chihuahua). Even though she is a anxious dog it was wonderful to see her respond to you both as you gave her the leadership and guidance through the training. I love that she has taken to her crate so well and she now uses that as her safe space. I look forward to seeing her progress at our next session (although it is great to see her improvements already over text) and then start to work on her dog reactivity/fear and lead training. Thanks for leaving a review, and well done on putting this great training system in place for Vada :)

Glen was amazing He helped us understand how to train our 10 month old Cookie. Fantastic results in such a short time. He walks on the lead beautifully now and is responding to our commands. A much calmer household. Glen was clear and knowledgeable
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thanks very much, Glad all is going well.

Kelly did an amazing job in our first session, Diesel has already changed for the better and listens and responds to commands now
Trainer note from Kelly
Diesel is such a funny, and very cool, American Staffordshire Terrier, and I can see why everyone loves him so much! He was getting confused with the commands, and expectations, and once we set some boundaries, and house rules (that everyone agreed on), he relaxed almost immediately. Being such a big, strong dog, his walking needed some help, so he could get out and about more - prior to our training, he was being very on lead reactive. We put measures into place to gain focus off site, and at the second lesson, to see him walking up the street at heel, without worrying about anything else, was truly golden!!! Massive well done, huge changes in your gorgeous boy :-)

25th February 2024 - Kia Parke
Kia was very helpful. The techniques she showed me have been very effective so far with the dogs finding it easy to learn. Still early days but I’m hopeful that they will continue (with ongoing training) to improve and eventually we’ll be able to go for walks without having to worry about other dogs.

Within 24 hrs we saw a massive turn around with Chicas behaviour. She was a hyperactive dog but now she has really calmed down. We feel more in control of situations
Trainer note from Kelly
Chica is a rather delightful Frenchie, who was causing you both so much stress, purely because things felt "out of control". It is always so frustrating for the owner to not have good recall, have a dog that races out doors between your legs, marking / toilet training is an issue, and on lead reactivity. Your consistency and passion for Chica showed again at the second lesson - heeling, sitting on the kerb, completing stay exercises with such a calm demeanor - so much control gained! We started ground work for walking past other dogs without reactivity, too, and we will continue with this at lesson 3. Thanks for allowing Bark Busters to come and help :-)

20th February 2024 - Kristie Toombs
We were desperate. Our little 11 week old Trixie was really testing us and unfortunately there is so much conflicting information out there and it seemed that not much was working. What I had used previously with my puppies, just wasn't working and I was feeling really helpless. In our first lesson we learnt how to modify some basic things and instantly we saw results. We still have quite a long way to go, but I feel more hopeful now that I can call on someone to guide me through the process.

The first training session has immediately provided positive results. Have recommended BB to everyone we know.
Trainer note from Callum
It was great meeting you and Clyde. He made great progress in his first session, looking forward to seeing his continued improvements.

We are extremely happy with the service so far the knowledge Kelly brings to the table is obvious from the moment you meet would highly recommend both Kelly and Bark Busters to anyone considering training their dog and we look forward to the ongoing support.
Trainer note from Kelly
Athena is so pretty! Her main issues were fear, timidity, and needing some general overall fine tuning. As an Amstaff x Kelpie, she isn't a small pup (LOL), but loves you so much, and responded well to the training. I am looking forward to continuing to support your training journey - she's such a good girl :-)

Very experienced trainer, very informative and helpful with a positive attitude towards my issues. Put me at ease and has given me hope.
17th February 2024 - Paul Labrum
I found Paul very helpful, and he has a good knowledge of dogs and how to read their body language, We found it very good to have private tuition in our home.
Trainer note from Paul
Thanks Bil and Kendra. Beau has great potential and our next session when he is a month older should be very productive.
