Ric was amazing with our dachshund Daisy!
He gave us simple corrections to follow when she is reactive that we are looking forward to working on with her. She responded so well to the training in the first session with Ric! He has a really good way with dogs. We have been given a clear training schedule to work on before our next session in two weeks time. Excited to see the progress with his training methods.

5th August 2025 - Kelly McClelland
Kelly dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
My dachshund Frankie developed separation anxiety after the passing of our second dog. She would howl nonstop whenever left alone, making it nearly impossible to leave the house, let alone go to work. It was heartbreaking and incredibly stressful for both of us.
Working with Kelly from Bark Busters has been an absolute game-changer. Her calm, knowledgeable approach and tailored training plan gave us real hope. With consistency, patience, and Kelly’s guidance, Frankie now stays home peacefully and sleeps while I’m at work.
It’s been such a relief emotionally—and Frankie’s behaviour overall is better than ever. I can’t thank Kelly enough for helping us get through such a tough time. Highly recommend her to anyone dealing with behavioural issues, especially separation anxiety.
Trainer note from Kelly
Such a sad reason for training, it is so hard for the human to lose a loved pet, but so confusing for the dog, as they don't understand why their BFF is suddenly gone. I applaud you both, in your grief, for putting Frankie's care and welfare first, and WOW, isn't she such a good girl! From fearful, skittish, barking, growling to a lovely Dachshund with a happy wagging tail, who is now listening to commands, will recall when told, and doesn't race out doors like a gremlin. But, the separation anxiety has always been the main focus, and to get the news that she's sleeping the whole day away (lucky girl!) is music to my ears! No food bribes, no harsh shock collars, nothing but training the humans to understand their dog, and creating a much stronger relationship at the same time. I am thrilled to pieces for you both, and I am looking forward to lesson #3, walking in a high dog/people dense park, and managing those beahviours - massive well done, Tim!

Kye was amazing. Explained everything easily, was enthusiastic and encouraging, so easy to learn from him. We now have the skills hopefully to continue to make improvements in our Dog. I would recommend him to anyone who might need help with their dog

Philippa dealt with Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
My husband and I were pleasantly surprised and impressed at how effective the training methods are. By the end of our session we had already seen some improvement with our 2 dogs Skye and shadow aged 4 and 2 years who have never had any training. We still got ways to go but we have more confidence in ourselves and our dogs now because of our wonderful trainer Philippa.
Trainer note from Philippa
It was a pleasure to train with you and Shadow a Siberian Husky and Sky a Beagle, learning to put the best paw forward. It was great to see them responding so well. Well done! I look forward to supporting you on the journey.

Kye dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Separation anxiety
My Labradoodle excessively barks and jumps on anyone who comes into the house
He straight away took to the techniques that Kye was using and we saw instant improvements.
The take away techniques are easy to implement and not too difficult to continue when Kye is not there
Would 100% recommend
