Thank you Emma for showing me how to communicate with my dog. Now that I know how to express what I want, he is less confused, more relaxed and me too!

Thanks Cecile, that is exactly what we want - relaxed owners & relaxed dogs. Keep up the great work & I will see you soon.

28th February 2026 - Kelly McClelland
Kelly dealt with Barking, Recall, Separation anxiety
From the very first lesson, Kelly was able to explain some of the reasons for the issues we were having, with appropriate training routines to suit provided immediately. We have been following her instructions with very good results. From anxious barking dogs to a calmer home and greatly reduced barking. Looking forward to our next lessons now! Thank you!!
Trainer note from Kelly
Apartment living is just brilliant, until your dogs are waking the neighbours or breaking into the peace and solitude through the day when you're working. We really understand how mortified you were to find out that your babies weren't being angels - I am so grateful that you invited Bark Busters Home Dog Training to come and assist you in your home - your two pups are absolutely delicious! Tenterfield Terriers and Maltese x Foxie's are both such fun breeds, but can certainly be verbose if not worked mentally - apart from the main focus of barking, we also addressed and focused on jumping up, pulling on lead, recall, stair racing and door manners. I am looking forward to doing more training off site at lesson 2, dog to dog confidence and manners, and walking politely to be the main points to improve. The quick changes you're seeing are 100% down to you as an owner, thanks so much for your committment to our easy system!

Ric was professional in following up on our enquiries and arrived on time for our first session. He explained things very clearly and was patient with our questions. Ric is obviousy passionate about dog training and this could be clearly seen in how he dealt with our dog on the day. We look forward to the remaining sessions as we are already seeing results with our Doberman. Thanks Ric!

26th February 2026 - Kristie Toombs
Kristie has been absolutely wonderful to work with. Muffin improved within just a couple of days, which honestly surprised us in the best way.
For our first session, she was on time, listened carefully to our concerns, and explained everything clearly. I was quite stressed about Muffin at the start, and Kristie was incredibly reassuring and supportive. That meant a lot to me.
She’s also been very responsive to my messages, which makes the whole process feel smooth and well supported.
We’re genuinely so happy with the progress and would highly recommend Kristie to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring trainer.

15th February 2026 - Glen & Maureen Guelfi
Glen & Maureen dealt with Barking, Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling
One week ago we had a gorgeous but very excitable 8 mth old puppy, jumping, nipping, pulling on the leash, generally a bit of a challenge.
Glen came along for a couple of hours and was greeted at the door by Rolo with some jumping, barking and nipping. By the time Glen left we had a much calmer puppy …. one week on we still have a gorgeous, loving puppy but he’s much calmer, no jumping, very little mouthing, no pulling on leash, no longer scared of the dump truck all in all a much more confident puppy and a very relieved mum and dad. Rolo is a joy to walk and we are no longer apprehensive when we have visitors! Still a work in progress but 100% easier. Thank you Glen

Glen & Maureen dealt with Pulling
Glen was really good and had Gigi walking beside me very quickly. I’ve since had several walks with her in the neighbourhood, and she is like a different dog using the new methods.

Thank you, I'm super glad she is doing so well.

9th February 2026 - Michelle Howell
Michelle dealt with Other
Michelle was great — she explained everything clearly at our first meeting. We received a lot of valuable information, along with written “homework” to help us better understand the system, how to apply it, and the reasoning behind it.
I highly recommend learning with Michelle and the Bark Busters system. I feel in good hands, and Sunny is in very good paws 🐾
Trainer note from Michelle
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. Sunny’s enthusiasm made our first session such fun. I’m really glad the information and written homework helped everything click into place — understanding the “why” behind the system makes all the difference. You’re doing a wonderful job already, and Sunny is responding beautifully. I’m looking forward to seeing her confidence grow as you continue the exercises at home. He’s a bright little pup with a big heart.
