Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials
24th April 2026 - Ric Kennedy
We can't recommend Rick highly enough. He was amazing.
We had an issue with introducing an excitable Boxer with a small puppy and were so worried about the puppy getting hurt.
Within an hour of being shown how to introduce them and how to manage the older dog, they were later that day laying together, walking around like life long mates.
He also taught us how to walk the Boxer so we are in control and not being pulled. Well worth the money paid and would recommend him to anyone who is having problems with behaviour or just want a well trained dog.
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. I’m really glad to hear how beautifully George and Poppy have settled together, once the right structure is in place life long bonds are made. It’s always rewarding for me to see the shift when customers go from worry to happy glow when harmony is enabled, especially in situations where size and energy levels can feel overwhelming. I’m so thrilled the walking techniques have made such a difference too. When you’re in control and your dog understands what’s expected, everything becomes more enjoyable for both of you. I truly appreciate your recommendation and the trust you placed in me. It was a pleasure working with both you and your dogs, and I’m so glad you’re seeing such positive results and fast too. If you ever need support down the track, I’m always here to help. Thank you Ric

Kelly dealt with Pulling, Recall, Other
Kelly has been very helpful, training has been easy with her guidance. she is very knowledgeable. i have no hesitation recommending her to anyone looking to train their dog.
Trainer note from Kelly
Thanks Ash! I am thoroughly enjoying working with you both, and thanks again for taking on a rehome/rescue, he's such a delight. Large breeds, like Irish Wolfhound crosses, need focus on control, and each session your improvements are incredible. We've already focused on separation work, door banging, pulling, recall, and night time manners. I am looking forward to consolidating last sessions' education on street work, by going for a walk and working on lead reactivity. Thanks again, and well done!

Ken dealt with Aggression, Barking, Chewing, Jumping up, Pulling, Other
Fantastic experience. Ken really knows his stuff. He listens carefully to our needs & is able to clearly instruct all members of my family on handling our GSD.
Trainer note from Ken
Thanks Christine, Champs aggression will be resolved once he sees consistent leadership from his humans. Our goal will be to get him walking with a loose lead past dogs and to not react!

Glen & Maureen dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Glen was fantastic with our dog Bagel right from the moment they met! My husband and I were so impressed with Glen’s understanding of dog training, and he was fantastic at educating us and making sure we understood everything. Bagel’s behaviour instantly changed with understanding his standing in our family, and the techniques we’ve learnt have helped us immensely and instantly. Glen is an amazing dog trainer and dog parent trainer, and I would recommend his services to anyone struggling with their dog. Bagel’s truly such a good boy now, we cannot be happier we emailed bark buster. Thank you so much!
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thanks Nicole, Bagel is such a nice dog!!!

Glen & Maureen dealt with Chewing, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall
I can't thank Glen enough for his help with training my 11 month old Aussie Shepherd puppy, Charlie. Within minutes of Glen arriving, Charlie was showing changes in behaviour. Glen explained how to address Charlie's hyperactivity, reactivity, pulling on the lead during walks, and chewing. It was clear that Glen is incredibly knowledgeable and he helped me see Charlie's behaviours under a new lens. The methods he helped me implement have honestly been incredible. I was amazed at how quickly Charlie responded to the training and how much more relaxed he is. Glen has been over since for a follow up, and I couldn't be happier or more grateful!
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thanks very much Erin, I am grateful for your words and super happy Charlie is responding so well, keep up the great work.

1st April 2026 - Philippa Dakin
Philippa dealt with Aggression, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
Four days ago we had our initial training session with Phillipa. All five members of our three generational household were present. One of our main issues was adressed right from the beginning- agressive display at the door. A massive improvement has been displayed from there on! My trigger for doing the course, was one badly bruised face where my dog caught me off balance on a walk where she suddenly lunged for a little dog approaching on a narrow track. The dog was unhurt but frightened. Phillipa gave us the most brilliant collar and lead and demonstrated it's use in detail. Walks have been very peaceful since! We understand we have a way to go before approaching other dogs, but we have been taught and are practising how to be in charge in subtle ways which have led to a much less hyper, anxious dog, who is more settled and content- and it's only been four days!!!
Trainer note from Philippa
Thank you for the review. Great to hear that Dina a 3 year old American Staffi x Bull terrier is progressing well. She is no longer the decision maker in the household! Keep up the good training and we will look forward to many more calm walks with her pack leaders.

Philippa dealt with Aggression, Barking, Chewing, Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall
Philippa from Bark Busters did a wonderful job educating our family on how to train a 7-month-old Doberman puppy. Philippa was very understanding of our situation and had all the answers we needed, and we felt a lot more confident understanding and controlling our dog after the first lesson.
Trainer note from Philippa
Vilkyrie a 7 month old Doberman puppy is very happy to have his family using clear kind communication. Helping also with fear based reactivity. Well done to all. Keep up the good kind leadership and training.

Ric dealt with Barking, Recall
Ric was very clear with the training for Stevie. We train her everyday and she is like a different dog, hardly barking and getting better with her recall. I look after her sister a lot and she’s improving too. Thanks Ric for the difference that you’ve made with your training program and schedule.
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you so much for sharing this update. It’s wonderful to hear how well Stevie is responding to the training and that you’re seeing such a positive change in her barking and recall. Your consistency and commitment to the daily practice make all the difference, and it’s great to know her sister is benefiting too. I really appreciate your kind words about the program and training schedule. It’s been a pleasure supporting you, and I’m thrilled to see the progress you’ve created with both dogs. Looking forward to our next session soon. Kind Regards Ric
