Philippa dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling
Our Bordoodle Barney had developed some behavioural problems including lots of barking and madly running about in response to a range of stimuli, and had injured himself as a result. Philippa's first visit provided instant results. From that day Barney has been calmer and quieter. We continue to use the approach she demonstrated to us, and have found it to be very effective. While his behaviour has improved a lot, he continues to test us from time to time, but now we know what to do.
Trainer note from Philippa

31st October 2025 - Kelly McClelland
Kelly dealt with Puppy management
Kelly was amazing, she helped us make massive improvements with our Puppy Poppy with only 1 session. She’s given us great tools and knowledge that we can apply in our training and we really look forward to the next session.
Trainer note from Kelly
Ohhh, Miss Poppy, what a delightful pup you are! It is always tricky with working breeds for new owners (Border collie x poodle) how to get the brain working to calm the dog down, without replying on physical exhaustion. At lesson 1, we calmly showed her her how to stop nipping, recall, lead training, how to not grab the lead like tug of war, and most importantly, not to chase the broom/mop/vacuum. She responded very positively to our dog focused system, and I loved her pretty wagging tail! I can't wait to add more training at lesson #2 and beyond. Well done everyone!

Kelly dealt with Barking, Chewing, Digging, Hyperactivity, Puppy management, Recall, Separation anxiety
I didn’t know anything about dogs, and it was really hard to try and manage the pup on out own, and even trying to see some youtube videos made it even more confusing. I’m so happy with the results!! I am beyond happy!!
Trainer note from Kelly
Thanks Teresa for your kind words and feedback! Your whole family have committed to being the best owners for your new Golden Retriever pup, and you've done the right thing by engaging with a trainer early - it has been a pleasure to work with you all. "Normal" puppy issues aren't so normal when you've ever owned a dog! Mouthing, biting, barking, separation issues, recall, toilet training, door manners, obedience - these are all things we focused on at lesson 1 and lesson 2, and for our next lesson, we're heading outside, since he is now fully vaccinated, to start working on lead manners, social skills and road safety. Your Lifetime Support Guarantee also covers you for new problems down the track, so winning! Thanks for being so committed, well done :-)

Glen & Maureen dealt with Aggression, Barking, Chewing, Pulling, Recall
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had Glen from Bark Busters come out to help with our dog Brody, and honestly, the results have been incredible. Within just a few days, we’ve seen amazing changes in Brody’s behaviour — he’s calmer, listens so much better, and feels more relaxed overall.
Glen’s approach made total sense, and he explained everything in a way that was easy to follow and put into practice. You can tell he genuinely cares about both the dog and the owner.
If you’re struggling with your dog’s behaviour or just want a better connection with them, I can’t recommend Glen and Bark Busters enough. It’s been a game-changer for us!
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thanks Steve, I am very happy you are seeing results, keep up the training for continued results.

23rd October 2025 - Glen & Maureen Guelfi
Glen & Maureen dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling, Separation anxiety
At first we thought Thor was completely out of control and just didn't gel well with other people/dogs. However after meeting with Glen, he helped us understand why he barks and get territorial. Truly step in to being an alpha, which has improved his behaviour dramatically! Super excited to continue working with Glen to see further improvements.
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thor is a great dog, that just needs you to be his leader, keep up the great work.

Todd dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Other
We really valued Kye’s explanation of the trainer theory and then clear and helpful demonstration with our dog Malt without our own backyard. He showed us we can train our dog and we have the tools and skills to have what it takes. We were amazed at Malts initial response but have since seen his regression as it’s only been a few days. Kye was very happy to follow up on phone to help when Malt began resisting the tools of the spray bottle. Kye is returning to work on the next area in the walking on lead/ pulling. For now we are persisting to train Malt daily using the techniques and skills provided and are hopeful he will change from being misbehaving/unsafe around our kids to obedient/safe and enjoyable. We look forward to see the continuing improvement in Malt as we approach our second lesson and continue to practice what we have learned daily. We are seeing gradual improvement each day in the behaviour of Malt. Thanks for giving us a fresh start with Malt as he really is a lovely dog and we can see how much pre we will be able to enjoy him after he trained.

Kye dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Other
I really cannot believe the difference in my dog! Suzi our gorgeous Am Staff was controlling and terrorising our house with her behavioural issues and we had no control over her what so ever. We had Kye and Bark Busters come out to help us and Suzi with their in home service which is incredibly helpful, we had so many doubts that Suzi just would not listen but I kid you not within the first 30 minutes of our lesson Suzi was already listening to me in a way she has never listened to me before, Bark Busters methods and how Kye explained everything is definitely professional and I with out a doubt recommend this to anyone who is having troubles with their dog!, I’m very much looking forward to Kye’s next visit to see our improvements and I love the fact that even if Suzi is naughty in the future I still can have Kye help me when needed as they have a Life guarantee! DEFINITELY the best decision I have made! thank you Kye and Bark Busters!

Glen & Maureen dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling
We've had one meeting with Glen so far, to help us with our excited 18-month-old Border Collie, Shadow. Shadow is still a work in progress, but it's only been just under one week and he has made huge progress. The training tools and knowledge that Glen imparted to us is working so well with Shadow. There's no more rushing in front of us to get up the stairs, and he's listening to me while walking at my side on the way to the park. He's still reactive to cars, but we're getting there on that, and he's much better and we know how to control his actions a lot more. Thanks so much Glen and we look forward to showing you how Shadow has progressed.
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thanks Gill, looking forward to seeing Shadow only get better.

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.
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Jason, Thank you so much for your great review, I really appreciate it. When we speak dog we make rapid progress. I’m so happy for you all, your boy did so well. See you next session. Thank you. Kind Regards Ric

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.
