Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials
22nd October 2025 - Ric Kennedy
Nothing less than immediate results with our boy. From the moment he stepped in the door Ric had our dog behaving so differently we were thoroughly confused as to why it had felt so hard to see change before. Highly recommend Bark Busters and Ric.

Ric dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
I am so grateful for the amazing help we received from Ric! He worked wonders with my puppy Cosmo. His approach was calm, clear, and effective. Cosmo has made incredible progress, and I have learnt so much.
Ric not only provided me with the right tools and techniques but also took the time to answer all our questions and gave me the confidence to handle any situation. Cosmo is now more relaxed, and on the road to being well-behaved, and happier than ever!
We can't recommend Ric enough. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and results-driven dog trainer, look no further!
Thank you again and we are looking forward to our next Training Day.
Dot & Dan.

19th October 2025 - Kia Parke
Kia dealt with Barking, Chewing, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall, Toileting
My partner and I brought home a new puppy and honestly had no idea where to even begin with training. After our first session with Kia, it felt like a huge weight was lifted off our shoulders. We walked away feeling confident, informed, and so much more prepared.
Kia explained everything in such a simple, approachable way that it instantly made the whole process feel less overwhelming. Even after just one session, we could already see a real difference in our puppy’s behaviour and in our own!

Michelle was so patient with me and my puppy. She helped with food as well as training and was so willing to answer all questions.
Trainer note from Michelle
Thank you so much for your review Alison, it was a pleasure helping you and Meeka. You both did a great job with the session, keep up the consistent practice and build on things gradually so you can move towards a calmer more relaxed time together.

18th October 2025 - Glen & Maureen Guelfi
Glen & Maureen dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
We recently had the pleasure of working with Glen to help with our dog and couldn't be more impressed.
Glen shared valuable insight into understanding our dog and his behavior. When he first arrived, our dog was on the aggressive side not knowing a stranger in our house and Glen straight away showed us how to bring back control in the situation.
Straight from the first session we could see the difference it made, and we were absolutely shocked. Our dog is already more obedient, responsive and calmer.
We highly recommend Glen to anyone struggling with obedience or behavioral issues with their dog especially in a larger breed.
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thanks so much, Opie is a great boy, Glen.

14th October 2025 - Emma Reeves
Emma dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall, Separation anxiety
I cannot say enough good things about Emma. The techniques she taught us to handle our 8 month old Cane Corso x Rottweiler are absolutely amazing. We were taught the fundamentals that will allow our dog to finally reach her potential and not just be annoying towards everyone. After the first lesson we were able to use these techniques to stop our big puppy from being so hyper and jumping up on everyone. I was impressed by all the reviews so that’s why I chose Emma and I was not disappointed. She definitely delivered on what was promised. I can’t wait for our follow up appointment to learn some more techniques. Thanks Emma you are a life saver for our big pupper.
Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Katrina, It was great to see you guys again and see the continued progress with Shadow, and I'm confident that with your leadership & guidance she will continue to grow into a well mannered dog.

Glen & Maureen dealt with Jumping up, Pulling, Sibling rivalry, Other
Would highly recommend engaging Bark Busters for training and retraining!
Have a 7 year old and 6 month old. Was totally out of control, having to separate them. Now we can have both dogs together in the house with no playing or conflict. OMG so good and not stressful either. We and the pooches are much happier 🤗😄
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
So great to hear they are getting along.

Kelly dealt with Recall, Other
Excellent first session
Trainer note from Kelly
Thanks Wendy! Taking on a mature dog can sometimes be tricky, but your love, focus and attention is definitely giving your British Bulldog everything he needs for a calm and fun life! Fear reactivity and growling are very concerning, and it was lovely o see how simple changes made a huge difference to his behavior before the end of the first session - I am looking forward to lesson #2 soon! Well done!

Ric explained everything in a very approachable and easy to understand way, and the techniques were easy enough to pick up! Even after 1 session its like we own a different dog! We still have a long way to go but we can already see so many positive changes!

11th October 2025 - Philippa Dakin
Philippa dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
We have gone through 3 previous dog trainers and anxiety medication to try assist with behavioral issues without success. After the first lesson which went for 3 hours it’s been an instant change in our dog for the better. We rarely have behavioural issues, we can put her in her crate without her barking constantly, we can now have guests over and she remains calm. I can’t recommend it enough
Trainer note from Philippa
We are so pleased to be able to help Daisy your rescue French Bull Dog with her reactive behaviours. She is loving being retired from being boss lady, learning to relax in her crate and listen to her leaders. Well done!
