Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

I could not be happier with the training provided for our dog Teddy by Michelle. Right from our first phone conversation she was understanding, empathetic and supportive about the issues we were having with Teddy. Her communication skills are fantastic and I felt very prepared for our first session together. I was amazed at Michelle's dog knowledge and training skills and she explained all aspects of the training so well, which meant I always understood why we were doing things. Our dog responded so well to her and we could see instantly how effective the training was going to be. She left us with clear training goals to work on over the next week, with assurances that we could contact her if we were having any issues before our next session. We're only a few days into our training and we're already noticing a big change in Teddy. He is so much calmer and responsive to our communication with him. We can't wait to continue our training with Michelle, so that we can have a calm and happy dog who adds happiness to our family without the stress. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone who needs training assistance with their dog!

It's been more than 2 weeks since Glen has come and Kaya has shown massive improvement compared to all the other puppy training and schools I had tried. Definitely worth going with bark busters all the rest use treat training which only works when you have treats.

Maureen was great with Benji she got him to stay outside on his own without one of us being with him he has not been left on his own before because he would fret and bark to be let in. He always needs company.

Michelle has been amazing. She is extremely professional, understanding, and friendly and approachable. With only one session with her so far I am equipped with techniques that work, and I’ve seen a major change in Wally’s behaviour and discipline already. Really looking forward to continue to see results for Wally.

Very effective. Very knowledgeable especially about the breed of dogs that I have

"I had a fantastic experience with Martin from Bark Busters today. His attention to detail, great service, and the exceptional results achieved during the dog training session were truly impressive. Martin's expertise and dedication shine through, and I couldn't be happier with the progress my dog has made. I highly recommend Martin and Bark Busters for anyone seeking effective and personalized dog training services. Thank you for the outstanding work!"

Very good my dog responded immediately to the training

I learnt a lot about how dogs communicate and how we should communicate with them. I thought Duke was going to be difficult to train as he has been getting away with murder for so many years, but I was surprised to see that he learnt very quickly and responded to the training a lot better than what I was expecting

We are really happy with the service Cat provided. She’s approachable, understood our concerns, gave clear and practical instructions and demonstrations, and its early days but within one week we’ve seen a big shift

Maureen Guelfi from Bark Busters came to help me with my dog Iris. I've had Iris since she was 8wks old; and she's almost 2yrs old now. Maureen is an experienced trainer and has given me hope that I’ll be able to take control of the barking that has been making life a bit unpleasant. I've also had issues controlling Iris' frenzied licking of people who come to visit. Everyone's happy to say hello, but sometimes the licking just won't stop no matter how I was trying to correct her. Maureen assured me that I'd be able to get this unwanted behaviour sorted out too. Maureen is very clear with her instructions which has made it easy for me to follow on with the training each day on my own. I didn’t feel rushed when clarifying anything I needed more info about, and most importantly I didn’t feel “judged” for the things that I thought I was doing right (but clearly was not!). I am absolutely blown away at the immediate difference our first session has made! In the short time that has passed since starting, I can see a big difference in how Iris responds to me. I've even had feedback from the team at the dog daycare centre that she's been barking at other dogs less! The follow up with me after my initial training session has been great! It's clear that Maureen really cares about our success! I’m feeling confident that I’ll be able to make the changes needed to ensure Iris has the best life and we can coexist without worry behavioural issues. Thanks Maureen!

Philippa was wonderful - she took the time to understand our issues and the personalities of both dogs. She was not judgmental or negative at all, and tailored the training and instructions to how we wanted our dogs to behave within our home. We have two dogs, and after the first session both were sound asleep because they’d definitely had a good mental workout! Our youngest (9 m/o puppy) has taken very well to the techniques Philippa showed us, and is already doing much better. Our older dog (2.5 y/o) has shown some improvement, but I’m looking forward to the follow-up session to understand what more we can do to stop the barking. I will note that our older dog was quite well behaved when Philippa was around, and the technique she showed us has been helpful somewhat, but will likely require more time and training to really see results. I was most impressed with the fact that the techniques shown are part of an overall system that you can apply to a lot of different situations. You can see from the first session how getting your dogs to understand this communication style will apply across lots of different scenarios, and this has been very useful with our younger dog.

Thank you Todd for coming out to our home to work with Zeb. Taking the time to educate us on why Zeb wasn't responding how he should be. Watching you demonstrate working with Zeb showed us exactly what we were doing wrong and how to correct it. Thank you Todd, Zeb is realising he is not king of the house.
