Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials
14th August 2024 - Kelly McClelland
We were a bit apprehensive about undertaking this training but we are impressed beyond words. Instantly we have seen changes in Stella for the best and we now have a much better understanding of her personality and needs. Thank you Kelly xx
Trainer note from Kelly
Stella is just so loveable and divine! But at 9 years old, the concern for her child safety and control was absolutely needing some fine tuning. Working breeds (Kelpies) like to work, and nipping is in their nature, however, teaching her when it is and isn't appropriate, and that it's not her job to take care of it all was necessary. And didn't she learn so quickly! Al of your family have been so consistent, and the changes in her behavior from first to second lesson was night and day! Well done, and the countdown to the baby arrival begins, with the tools in hand to make everything safe :-)

Glen was great! Almost immediately he had my dog Obi settle down and stop jumping, the ongoing support is a great bonus as well

Such a great lesson. I enjoy learning from Kelly as she has so much knowledge. She is also firm and direct and really helpful. She has given me hope that I will manage 2 puppies. Looking forward to our next lesson.
Trainer note from Kelly
One puppy is hard, but two is a tornado! Both Golden Retrievers and Australian Cattle Dogs benefit from early training intervention, and from sleeping on the lounge next to the dog, to calm crate trained pups that don't toilet inside, was exactly what you were after! Seeing the improvement in both boys between lesson 1 and 2 was incredible, and now that they're fully vacccinaated, we are off to the park for heeling work, recall with distraction and fear management (ACD) with people and dogs. Massive well done, it was a pleasure to work with you both!

We have only had one session so far & I was very happy with Todd & his approach to training our dogs. Todd was understanding of the issues we’ve been experiencing & worked well with my daughter & I to help us navigate these moving forward.
7th August 2024 - Callum Anderson
My family learned a lot, even from one lesson. Callum was very calm, knowledgeable and comfortable to have in our home. We are very hopeful and happy we have engaged this service. The only reason all of the issues were not covered in the training is we have only had one lesson and our dogs have several issues !
Trainer note from Callum
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with you and your family. Minnie and Knala have made great progress and looking forward to seeing the end results. Keep up the good work!

Helped break down all his behaviour problems and explained the causes. Saw improvements immediately during the training.
Trainer note from Kelly
Thanks Brendan, I appreciate your feedback! It's always stressful when the dog is being reactive to visitors, adn the measures put in place have shown excellent improvements, as has his walking behaviours! I am looking forward to lesson 3, where we'll start on his dog to dog management, well done!
