12th September 2025 - Michelle Howell

Michelle dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Sibling rivalry

So grateful for the guidance in training our special dogs. The patience, kindness, and genuine care shown made such a difference — not only in Choofys and Kokos progress, but also in our confidence as owners. The changes have been incredible, and we now have the tools to continue this journey. A truly positive and rewarding experience! Thank you Michelle

- C.O, ALBANY CREEK (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Michelle
Thank you so much for your beautiful words — it means the world to hear how empowered you feel after our time together. Choofy and Koko are truly special souls, and watching them respond with such trust and enthusiasm was a joy. I’m so proud of the progress you’ve made as a team, and even more proud of the confidence you’ve gained as dedicated, thoughtful owners. Training is as much about strengthening the bond as it is about building skills, and you’ve embraced both with such heart. I’m honoured to be part of your journey and excited for all the positive steps ahead. Keep up the amazing work — you’ve got this!

11th September 2025 - Kelly McClelland

Kelly dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Toileting

Kelly is amazing! It hasn't been a full week yet and we have already noticed a difference in Luna's behaviour which is a massive relief. We will be keeping on top of our homework so the packing order stays in place. Thank you Kelly!

- D.Y, Ipswich/Brisbane (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Kelly
Whippets are the most underrated breed for a pet! They are absolutely the best, but not when they're marking, pulling on lead, and stealing food from the table and bench! We corrected Luna's counter surfing whilst we were still doing the theory (she responded immediately!), and then focused on her recall, door manners, demand behaviors (well, she is The Queen!), and also door manners. The implementation of some changes surrounding the marking are already showing improvement, and I can't wait for lesson 2! We will consolidate her learning, and work on loose lead walking / focus when distracted, lunging and road manners. Well done all!

10th September 2025 - Ric Kennedy

Ric dealt with Aggression, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Separation anxiety

On March 15th 2023 I adopted an abandoned 12 month old black German Shepherd dog. He was a 40 kg big, headstrong, wilful dog who demanded attention all the time. I had previously owned 2 Shepherds and thought I was up to the challenge presented by this one but 2½ years later, despite my constant efforts and training, I was losing the battle managing his behaviour. The difficult decision to part with him was a very real dilemma. However I made one last attempt to keep him and Googled 'Dog Behaviourists' and Bark Busters looked like it could be helpful. A few days later we had our first training session with Ric and we made progress immediately as I learned to 'speak dog' and then to establish my place as the 'top dog in the pack'. I was shown how to implement techniques to manage his undesirable behaviour and subsequently his ability to make good behaviour choices became apparent. Now after only two training sessions I have a different dog. His behaviour at home has improved greatly, welcoming visitors nicely is possible, and he is able to calmly encounter other dogs on our daily walks. A huge change for the better. We still have much work to do, and probably always will, but he is becoming the loving, beautiful companion I so desperately wanted. Bark Busters has saved us both and I am so grateful to Ric for his valuable help and guidance. Thank you

- B.S, Crafers (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Ric
Hello Barbara, Thank you so much for your kind words and this lovely review, I genuinely appreciate your honesty and thoughts. What an Angel Chester is, he truly is in love with you and wants to please you, always wanting to be in your presence. Chester just needed a little guidance and your leadership is just what the doctor ordered. I am so proud of the progress you have both made in such a short space of time, Well done you are putting in the effort and work and it shows. I Can’t wait to see you both again soon 😊 Kindest Regards Ric

10th September 2025 - Stefanie Budiman

Stefanie dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Separation anxiety

Stef is a magician! We are absolutely blown away by the results. In just a few days, our 8-year-old Cavoodle with severe separation anxiety has completely transformed. She used to bark and howl the moment we left our apartment, disturbing the neighbours, but tonight I was able to leave her for 45 minutes without a peep. I’m confident she would have been fine for even longer! Our girl also had issues with walking with just one person (me) but now with her new leash training the issue has been completely resolved!!! This training has truly changed our lives. Thank you, Stef, we are so grateful! XX

- A.W, Melbourne (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Stefanie
Thanks Amanda and Sarah! I am so proud of ya'll, as I understand that when it comes to separation anxiety, the techniques to build a dog's independence is usually harder on the owner than the dog. That being said, it is just amazing how Bella the sweet cavoodle has taken to the training, despite always having separation anxiety, and is on her way to becoming more independent and calm when ya'll are not around. Also well done in achieving progress with her leash manners as well! Please keep up the great work and reach out anytime!

9th September 2025 - Catharina Jeffery

Catharina dealt with Jumping up, Recall, Other

We are so happy with Nyah's response to the training. I know its only early days but she is already showing signs of improvement. I am really enjoying this process with her and so proud of her. Cat was amazing at explaining everything and I felt very supported.

- M.B, Leschenault (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks for leaving a review Meg, it was a pleasure helping you with Nyah (2yo French Bulldog x) helping you to improve her recall and impulse control as well as her general obedience. I look forward to seeing her progress at your next lesson :)

9th September 2025 - Kye Morris

Kye dealt with Jumping up, Puppy management, Sibling rivalry, Toileting

8th September 2025 - Laura Burton

Laura dealt with Aggression, Jumping up, Pulling, Separation anxiety, Other

I have owned dogs all my life (over 50 years), and I didn’t think there was much more I could learn—until I met Laura. From our very first session, I was amazed by how much she taught me and how effective her methods were. Our new rescue dog, Tella, came to us with very little training. Laura’s approach was firm yet gentle, and the change in Tella’s behaviour was immediate and noticeable. What impressed me most was how Laura not only helped Tella, but also gave me the confidence and tools to manage the challenges of a large, intelligent dog. Thanks to her guidance, I feel reassured that Tella will go on to have a positive, happy life with us. I cannot recommend Laura highly enough—her knowledge, professionalism, and care have made a world of difference.

- V.P, North Rocks (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Laura
Hi Vireena, Thank you for taking the time to do such a detailed review. It was great to see the improvement in Tella's jumping and walking at the lesson and I'm looking forward to going on this journey with you all. Cheers, Laura

7th September 2025 - Emma Reeves

Emma dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Separation anxiety

Mikey was already a great puppy, but I particularly struggled to have her attention when outside on walks, and whenever guests came over. Bark Busters gave me great tools, including the collar, which gave me back control. She responds super quickly, and I feel like she’s almost immediately turned into a calmer, happier dog, even just after a few days!

- D.M, Baldivis (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Emma
Thanks Delaine. It was great to meet you & work with you & Mikey. You had already put a huge amount of work into her & she was a great puppy, but now with your new found leadership & guidance you can help her to grow into an AMAZING dog. Keep up your great work & I will see you soon.

7th September 2025 - Glen & Maureen Guelfi

Glen & Maureen dealt with Aggression, Barking, Recall, Other

Glen was spectacular with his training and coaching. We were given a thorough lesson prior to engaging with Torro with much of the lesson focusing on human behaviour and learning to be empathetic with our dogs. The training was far more insightful on our behaviours and implementation provided immediate results with our boy. I highly recommend Bark Busters as we were provided with 1:1 support in our dogs environment, provided ample time to implement strategies while Glen is present and kind mentoring which never places the dog in any harms way. Thanks Glen, Sue and Bark Busters.

- T.A, Perth (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thank you for your kind words, I am happy that all is going so well.

7th September 2025 - Kelly McClelland

Kelly dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Puppy management, Recall, Sibling rivalry

Honestly I was VERY sceptical but I was amazed after one meeting. My older dog certainly learnt new tricks and my 7 month old quickly learnt her place in the pack. She has continued to be totally relaxed and at peace finally. Kelly knows her stuff and our whole family is better for it.

- L.F, Victoria Point West 4165 (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Kelly
I am so glad you took a leap of faith! Both of your bulldogs are delicious - we are working with your youngest Aussie Bulldog female, due to her fear reactivity, and attacking her older "brother". Finding out what your family expectations were, what you want from Mildred, and what your parameters were was crucial to tailoring the training to your environment. We worked on her over escalations, door manners, crate training (safety zone), and also discussed how certain ingredients in food can adversely affect a dog's behavior (just like a child!). Small changes, big improvements! A follow up lesson has been done, focusing on Mildred's lunging on lead, and attention on the owner out the front, and she was walking on a loose lead within minutes - she is so keen to be the best girl! Thanks again, and I am looking forward to lesson 3!

5th September 2025 - Glen & Maureen Guelfi

Glen & Maureen dealt with Hyperactivity, Pulling

Maureen is a true expert when it comes to training dogs. Within 3 hours, she taught me everything needed to create a calmer and more obedient dog. Also helping Tilly to feel more secure.

- L.S, Ocean Reef (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thank you for your kind words, it was my pleasure to help you with her.
