Thank you for the review. I am so pleased to be able to help with Harry the Jug, and Fly the Jack Russell Terrier, with the recent development of sibling rivalry. Keep up the good training and I look forward to helping you achieve a calm and harmonious pack once more.

30th March 2024 - Catharina Jeffery
Cat has a very professional yet personable approach. She took the time to teach us how to teach Maple by using very simple but very effective techniques . We have seen a huge improvement in Maple’s recall and walking on the lead after only the initial lesson. She seems to be a more relaxed pup. We’re looking forward to our next meeting so we can take the next step. Thanks Cat.
Trainer note from Catharina
It was lovely to meet you and Maple (9 month old Golden Retriever) and help you with her pulling and recall. It is always great to see dogs start to relax and focus on their owner, showing they want to please. Looking forward to addressing her dog reactivity and over excitement on lead in our next lesson, I know she will do well!

Maureen was fantastic. Great explanations and knowledge. Gave me so much hope that I could train my puppy, even after we had had a horror few months of life challenges.

29th March 2024 - Tanja Veljanoski
We had a wonderfully great experience with Tanja. It was absolutely surprising and shocking how effective her techniques were with our dog Milo, so we decided to train our other dogs - Charlie and Banksy. They had issues with barking, jumping, pulling, sibling rivalry, and obedience. I did not expect these two cuties to respond so well and immediately to the guidance and leadership Tanja showed us. She thoroughly covered the psychology of how dogs perceive their world and the dynamics of how they interact and respond. With the tools and techniques Tanja gave us, our pups began obeying our space restriction the first day (not rushing the doors and stopped jumping up on us or visitors when not wanted).
Tanja was attentive to our dog's reaction to the training and adjusted to their personalilites as needed. She answered all our questions and provided fantastic advice and guidance on working with our dogs going forward. Best of all, Tanja is available to us at any time to return for adjustments and further training as needed, should issues arise in the coming years.
We are so pleased that we chose Bark Busters Home Dog Training for our dogs because we can enjoy them more now that they are listening and not misbehaving.

25th March 2024 - Tanja Veljanoski
I contacted Tanja regarding training for my 1y/o groodle. Tanja responded right away and our first training session was set up. Bella is extremely energetic and stubborn so I was skeptical as to whether she would listen to Tanja or myself. After one training session I have noticed a huge improvement! Bella has already started listening, taking on commands and become more aware of my authority. I look forward to continuing her training with Tanja's support. I would highly recommend Tanja and Bark Busters to anyone. Tanja was approachable, patient and was able to teach me just as many things as she taught my dog. Having the lifetime guarantee means that there is no rush for Bella and I to learn and we can take the time to train properly without the worry of having to pay for extra training sessions. Would highly recommend!
Trainer note from Tanja
Thank you Ben! Bella was such a pleasure to work with! Thank you for choosing Bark Busters to help train your beautiful girl, and taking the time to write this wonderful review! Bella is energetic and temperamental, but like you said, with practise and consistency, she will learn to follow your instructions. I loved helping her with her aggression, obedience, recall, walking, jumping and barking issues. Keep up the great work you have started, she's doing amazingly well!

We started to see bad behaviours starting in our dog as she entered adolescences. Kelly came round when it suited us and help put us in a position of understanding our dogs mentality. This has noticeably help us shift our mindset to have a better behaved and more loving puppy.
Trainer note from Kelly
Thanks William! Scotch is such a happy wee Cocker Spaniel, but I could certainly see how the barking was upsetting for you both...it was great to work with you both, and complete an evening lesson after hours to fit in with your diary, and she responded like a dream! At the second lesson, we'll do some scene setting for the fence running, and also focus on Scotch's lead manners and pulling - great job!

Just want to say a massive thank you to Kelly. Even after one lesson, I have seen a massive turnaround in Cookie's behaviour and am so pleased with the results. Before I reached out to Kelly, I was unable to leave my apartment without Cookie barking continuously, however following the first lesson and the simple to follow daily training/exercises, Cookie is now comfortable at home and I can start to resume my normal routine without stressing over Cookie's wellbeing or upsetting my neighbours. The training was well explained and so gentle. Thank you again Kelly!
Trainer note from Kelly
It was so super nice to work with you - you came into the training with an open mind, and saw how quickly your gorgeous Chihuahua, Cookie, responded to our gentle methods. Being a prisoner in your own home due to separation anxiety is never fun, and I was thrilled to get a photo of Miss C relaxing solo, for 30mins, straight after the first lesson! Thanks for the continued updates, she is such a good girl - see you at lesson 2 for more positive training!

Michelle has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to dog psychology. We learnt so much and have already seen the change in our 3 year old cocker spaniel, Frankie, after the first session. We are forever grateful. Thank you Michelle!
21st March 2024 - Martin Blattman
I’m very excited to see progress already with my young kelpies recall and reactivity on lead, we’re still practicing techniques but there’s a very clear difference in her behaviour 😄
Trainer note from Martin
Hi Emily, thanks for your kind review. It was a pleasure working with you and Skye on her reactivity on lead and barking. I'm excited to see Skye progress into a well behaved girl, keep up the great work you are doing!

I am extremely grateful to Michelle for her amazing skills and knowledge about dogs. She helped me understand my dog's behaviour so I can address the issues properly. I am just so impressed at her skills from the moment she walked in to our home. Since the training 3 days ago, Charlie has been showing a lot of improvement. We will continue to do our homework and I believe that we will reach our goal with Michelle's help, techniques and knowledge. I look forward to be able to be a great dog whisperer to my beloved Charlie. Thank you so much Michelle. You are amazing!
