19th November 2025 - Kye Morris
Kye dealt with Other
Kye was incredibly understanding and explained everything so clearly. He really listened to my concerns and answered all my questions, and it was obvious he knew exactly what he was doing. My dog responded so well to his training from the very start.
He also put together a really helpful training plan with plenty of tools and guidance, which I appreciated so much. I felt like he genuinely took my worries on board and gave me a proper program to work with. He’s also always been available whenever I needed anything.
Overall, he’s been excellent, and I’m really looking forward to continuing more lessons with him. I’d definitely recommend him to friends or family.

Kelly has been an absolute life saver for us. I had Kelly train our first dog almost a decade ago. Since getting another dog we have struggled with sibling rivalry and general misbehaviour in both dogs. Kelly has been so available and supportive well before our first lesson, during our first lesson and since then. She is so insightful and has taught my husband and I so much about the canine hierarchy that has been so beneficial for us. I particularly appreciate Kelly’s responsiveness when things have gotten tough. I would 100% recommend Kelly to anyone who is struggling with their dog. It has been life changing.
Trainer note from Kelly
How lucky am I to have such amazing clients! Thanks so much for inviting me for a "refresher" with your original black Pug, and to add your stunning toy poodle onto the Guarantee. There is nothing so scary as your two loved animals turning your home into an MMA match, and I am so pleased that you've had immediate improvement (once again), and with getting both dogs back onto the control train, your world is a lot more relaxed! Keep up with the consistency, small (2min) sessions to be able to "find the time" to fit it in, and we'll focus on external control at your revisit (already booked in). Massive well done to you both!

18th November 2025 - Ric Kennedy
Ric dealt with Barking, Chewing, Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety, Other
Ric is an outstanding trainer. In one session he completely transformed how our dog behaves on the lead, at the door, and around the house. He explains the psychology behind every step, gives clear instructions, and pushes you just enough to actually learn the technique properly. Our dog was calmer, more focused, and more relaxed than we’ve ever seen him. Ric’s approach is practical, fair, and genuinely effective. Highly recommend to anyone wanting real results and a trainer who truly knows his craft.
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Ayden, Thank you for this awesome Review. We had a great first session. You and your little boy did so well. With our system and your guidance he will develop into an amazing dog, he already is so smart and has a great temperament. Looking forward to our next session, see you all soon. Thank you Kind Regards Ric

14th November 2025 - Kelly McClelland
Kelly dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling
Kelly was amazing. She has shared information I have never heard before. Her way of training works. Day 2 and Vodkha already listens to my command. I can already see Vodkha following through.
Trainer note from Kelly
Thanks Nina! Your Frenchie, Vodkha, is just gorgeous, however I could certainly see how his irrational reactivity was causing you so much stress. When a dog is attacked (both by dogs, and in an undesirable human way), their confidence can shatter, and I am so grateful that you chose training, over anything else! We focused on correcting his aggression before he actually lunged, called scene setting, and by the end he was more focused on you than me, which was amazing. We worked on his lead training for pulling, his recall, and his door manners. Be nice and consistent, and I'll see you for lesson 2 very soon! Well done!

Todd dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry
Kye is a good teacher who was patient and thoughtful in his approach. The strategies we learned have been very helpful so far. We have felt empowered and optimistic about our abilities to continue training the dogs.
13th November 2025 - Callum Anderson
Callum dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall, Other
We are only two sessions in and we’ve already seen a huge improvement in Butter’s behaviour particularly around lead pulling. Understanding dog behaviour instead using treats has been a game changer. I highly recommend Callum’s service.

Glen & Maureen dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up
Glen from Bark Busters has changed our home life in less than a week! In 2 hours he explained the family dynamics of our life with our French Bulldog, Boo, and trained us how to train him. Glen has turned us from a family that was constantly in conflict in how to live with our furry family member, to everyone on the same page, especially our boy Boo! Before Glen, I had a love/hate relationship with our dog, believing he was badly behaved, constantly attacking me, and causing regular arguements with my wife. Glen explained dog behaviour, dominant/subservient signals, and a clear and detailed path to train our Boo in such a simple ,easy to understand way that sends clear directions to our dog. After using the Bark Busters principles for less than a week since Glen saw us, we have a new lease on life with our Boo. He is a responsive, well behaved dog who gets given clear signals from all his family. We have never gotten along better!
Many thanks to Glen and Bark Busters for opening the door to a new harmonious family life with our dog!

Ric dealt with Aggression, Barking, Separation anxiety
Ric came and saved our family. We were at our wits end, but after just 1 session with Ric, our German Shepherd did a complete 180. We have been doing our set training each day and our dog has shown a massive improvement. Thank you Ric!
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Tamara, I knew he would make a huge change he is an amazing boy, he was frustrated and in need of the right communication. Often our dogs are misunderstood and when they achieve and become heard they can instantly change for the better. I'm wrapped you are having great results. Thank you for your review. Kindest Regards Ric
