4th March 2025 - Kelly McClelland
Kelly dealt with Chewing, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
We couldn’t believe the change in Luna after just The first day with Kelly
Trainer note from Kelly
Puppies are a handful, but when they're a Great Dane x Shar Pei, well, we need to set some boundaries and rules LOL! Luna is just delightful, and you have absolutely done the right thing by engaging in early years training. Fear reactivity, visitor manners, jumping up, mouthing, stand over tactics on the lounge - all of this and more was targeted at lesson #1. Her brain was very tired sand relaxed by the time that we finished, and it was lovely to see her tail wagging - she might be timid but she loves a pat! Door and gate manners were also implemented, and at lesson 2, we'll start working on confidence external of the home. Thanks again for allowing me to assist, she's a great dog!

Kia dealt with Aggression, Barking, Chewing, Digging, Jumping up, Recall, Sibling rivalry
Kia was amazing and super knowledgeable. I honestly was not expecting the amazing results we have had from the very first session. I can even now walk my dog out of the yard after only 2 sessions - something I never thought I would ever do.

Philippa dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Wow! Willow has only had one session so far with Philippa and we thought Willow was beyond training but she is a completely different puppy (and we are completely different dig owners!). The change is incredible! Thank you!!
Trainer note from Philippa

Todd dealt with Barking, Separation anxiety
All information was extremely easy to understand, great training techniques. I’m excited to see how my dog responds in the coming weeks!
Trainer note from Todd
Hey Ella Thank you for choosing Bark Busters to help you train Prince with his behaviors, you both did great and to see Prince respond to your corrections and him stop barking when you address the behavior was great to see. Keep up the great work and excited to see how your progress is in the near future. Kind Regards Todd Morris

28th February 2025 - Kelly McClelland
Kelly dealt with Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Kelly was lovely to deal with on the phone, and helpful and engaging in person. She explained everything well and was patient with our (many) questions. Kelly demonstrated clear techniques we could use when training Maggie, and gave us ample opportunities to practice them in front of her with Maggie ourselves. Kelly is open and happy to be contacted for further questions and follow-up. We were happy with the quick progress Maggie showed after only one or two days since Kelly had visited, and know we have a much happier dog. I am now very hopeful for the future with our dog. Thanks Kelly!
Trainer note from Kelly
Thanks so much for your kind feedback, it was so great to work with you both and your family. Chewing, destruction, pulling on lead, jumping up, these are all things that are so infuriating for an owner. We just want a lovely pet to be a positive part of our family. Maggie is a sweet wee little Cocker Spaniel (whose tail never stopped!) and she was a literal sponge with the training. She showed a level of calmness post training that was wonderful to see, and it will be great to be able to remove the garden barricades, now that we've targeted her destruction. Walking and in public manners will be lesson #2, plus stair manners, and focus away from the house. Well done, great job!

Philippa dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
We thought that there was no chance of helping our dog but within an hour our dog was completely changed. We are so impressed with the improvement we have seen. Barkbusters operate differently to normal trainers where they train the owner to communicate with their dog rather than rewarding and training the dog. We have learnt ways to train and help our overreactive dog who wouldn’t listen. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received.
Trainer note from Philippa
Well done to Willow a 14 month Mareema X Deerhound and his pack leaders. Willow responded so well to the training and loved thinking and knowing how to make the right decisions. Definitely putting the right paw forward!

Ric dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall
I had a phone call a few weeks from the power meter man, to let me know that my dog speedy was not jumping on him. The best part is now that my 6 year old son can go outside without fearing that the dog we jump on him,
After only having 2 sessions with bark buster.
Thank you for all your help so far
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Chase, Its situations like this I live for, I love that I can come into your environment and help great people like yourself and your son. I'm so happy he is beginning to love his little friend and feel more comfortable outside with you and Speedy. Thank you for your review. See you next session. Kind Regards Ric

25th February 2025 - Emma Reeves
Emma dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
In just one visit Emma had our super excited Kelpie following our commands, using manners and being calm around visitors. It's just the start of our training journey but we were so happy and confident in the tools that Emma gave us. Everything was explained well and made sense. Love that the support is ongoing and already looking forward to our followup.
Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Jo, it was lovely meeting you guys with beautiful Milo. Looking forward to our next session, and making even more progress.

Catharina dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Separation anxiety
Excellent like a different dog
Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks for leaving a review John. Harlie (8 year old Kelpie) was dog aggressive and her owners had tried to manage this since rescuing her. To see her walk by an excitable puppy and still focus on you when asked, and not react to him in her first lesson was an absolute pleasure. It really shows that dogs can make huge changes in behavior (in a short time) when we have the right structure in place. Looking forward to your next lesson and working with you further.

Laura dealt with Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Laura provided us with a comprehensive 2+ hour session. We went through some background info, some great theory and then on to the 'hands on' practice. It was invaluable - I learned so much and was able to apply it straight away with Tilly which was fabulous. Well worth the investment. Laura has a deep understanding of dogs and how to get the best from them. I'm sure I'll be getting more refresher courses along the way - Thank you Laura!
Trainer note from Laura
Hi Kerry, Thank you for your review, it was great working with you and Tilly, we made great progress and keep up the good work. Laura
