Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

We were visiting my sister in Shelley WA (6148) from Leonora in the Northern Goldfields. We were concerned about Jasmine who is a mixed breed (Kelpie) rescue from SAFE Kalgoorlie, about 21 months old. We adopted her when she was five months old. She had been exhibiting what we described as fear aggression, and being very territorial at home when people came to the gate. She would growl and bark, and also exhibited some signs of separation anxiety when my partner or I left the house. Hugh was not condescending with his delivery of information and techniques, he listened to us, guided us and provided instructions in practical, usable and appropriate terms - in a way we've been able to incorporate easily into our routines. Jasmine was much improved by the end of the session. The following day a knock at the door was responded to very well when we followed the guidelines provided to us (the same as during practice). Other groups we contacted before we found Bark Busters were quick to recommend drugs for Jasmine when we described her behaviour. We believed that this should be the last thing to talk about, not the first. Hugh gave Jasmine every chance to prove she really doesn't need drugs to modify her behaviour - which is exactly what we were looking for, the chance to correct her problem behaviour rather than just covering it up. The time with Hugh was very interesting and enjoyable, Jasmine is thriving with the mental challenges and stimulation. Still got some work to do, but it's great to see her really trying and rising to the challenge. It was particularly nice not to be treated with a one size fits all approach. Has was given the change to work on her problem behaviour in a manner that worked for all of us. Even though we live so remote, we still believe we have achieved great value for money for the support available thus far.

Had Neil come and help me with a problem Husky - no problems anymore. First class trainer with a great understanding of dogs. I would highly recommend him.

There is so much that me and my partner didn't know about training to disobedient dogs. The first lesson brought out behaviours and obedience in my dogs that I didn't think were possible. It now requires very little maintenance to keep two well behaved dogs in check.

Martin was remarkable at showing us how to train easily and without stress.

Tank is a very aggressive dog and when Philip came to the door as he does with most visitors Tank was ready to rip his throat out. He would bark at any person or anything that went up our street he hated the post lady. When Philip left he was a changed dog and that was only after 3hrs. So hopefully continuing on with the program it will help him no end. Laila was the stubborn one but she was soon following the program as well she didn't have the same issues Tank did but her barking was very annoying. So when Philip left it was a nice quiet house. Don't get me wrong we still have some small problems but I am sure it will be worth it to have happy,quiet loving dogs all thanks to BARKBUSTERS!!!!!!!!

We contacted Bark Busters as we were struggling with the behavioural issues of our mini dachshund puppy. We waited with anticipation with what Kelly could offer us to relieve the stress we were experiencing. Indy was not settling at night, barking constantly and could not be left alone. Kelly explained to us, in detail why she was behaving this way. Within a couple of hours of training we already could see a change in Indy. The techniques used are simple and effective. Kelly returned today to a follow up and offer further advice. Thanks Kelly, after three weeks we now have a more settled and happier puppy.

The training was great. Very do-able & helpful. Samson is now walking beautifully on the lead, after only 2 weeks. Peter was patient & willingly answered all our questions, even questions we emailed after the lesson. We are looking forward to developing more areas with Samson. It was money well spent.

The training has been a great help to everyone in the house hold and we have noticed a great change in Archer towards everyone. Ken explained it very well and showed us all the easy and simple steps it takes to correct and have control over Archer.

We waited in anticipation for kaias 1st day of training today with Kelly. Our boy kaia has quite a few behavioural issues where i was giving up, started feeling there was no hope and he would always be naughty and have no ears. I started feeling annoyed, drained, always felt like i was just yelling at him continuously, then I came across Kelly @ Bark Busters and thought if this works im in!!! Today made the biggest change in our lives, A miracle has happened with our boy and that was Kelly, I never thought his mannerism could change in such a short time, and with such positive corrective training would make a huge difference. of course we have a long way to go, but i already feel positive, excited & so eager to see what the future brings with our boy. Thanks so much Kelly, so glad we made the right choice. So to Anyone reading this & thinking 'I wonder if this will work for my dog'? Then look no further, Make the call, you wont regret it, best investment you could ever make for your dogs life !! Kind Regards Hazel Kaire

I was really pleased with the help I received from Stefanie, everything that she said made sense and I'll go ahead with confidence, following her instructions.

I was absolutely amazed at the support I received from Catharina while my 9 year old German Shepard was suffering from extreme separation anxiety . With Catharina's help I was able to deal with the problem in 2 weeks. I couldn't have done it with out her advice and support. Thanks Catharina

After it was explained to me how a dog thinks and behaves on why she barks all the time, mainly to have ball play, it is much easier to control it. The next day she was a different dog when I decided to play with the ball. Not bossing me to play I have her more in control. All I have to do is Bah at her and she stops Finally some peace Thankyou;
