Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials
28th September 2023 - Jakob Mandalinic
Jakob dealt with Barking, Jumping up
Jakob was lovely and very keen to help us with our dogs, we have only been doing this new method for a few days but already see a difference on the dogs actually listening to us 🙂
Trainer note from Jakob
Nicole. Thanks so much for all your love. It is a method. A natural method. It's not always easy to remember everything cause it is a lot in one just one session. As i like to say - consistency and persistency will overcome resistency. In fact - it might be a new method for us humans but for our canine companions it is natural. Once we can understand this - and incorporate it into our lives - nature will come into fruition from one species to another. Look forward to working with your beautiful family as we move forward. And moreover it is humans such as your family that keep our planet evolving. I learnt also. Thank you all!

Kia dealt with Barking, Pulling, Recall, Other
Kia was lovely and completely understood our concerns with our dogs. Her tactics and training skills quickly worked with our dogs. Both my husband and I were shocked at how quickly our dogs were responding to Kia’s instructions.

24th September 2023 - Kelly McClelland
Kelly dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
We rescued our little guy just under a year ago. He settled in well enough but we decided it was time to get some training as he was starting to get a little too bossy and reactive when going for walks. After just 1 lesson with Kelly we were seeing a noticeable difference in his behaviour. Absolutely worth the money. Kelly is so amazing. She had our whole dynamic picked right away and helped us make adjustments so our pup is easier to walk, less anxious and less annoying for our visitors.
Trainer note from Kelly
I still get goosebumps, about how much more RELAXED your gorgeous rescue beast (Amstaff x) was at lesson 2! From barking, pacing, whining, crying, and generally being unsettled at lesson 1, to walking calmly into the crate for relaxing, walking politely on lead, allowing me to pat / sniff without fear or snapping, no aggression, and AMAZING door manners!!!! Just brilliant - I am so thankful for your openness to make some minor changes, and for your consistency, you both get a gold star, and I can't wait to see you at group training (2 FOC sessions included)!

Laura dealt with Barking, Chewing, Jumping up, Separation anxiety
Was tentative about talking dog but when I saw how Max reacted I was shocked & so pleased that was shown a way to communicate with Max without having to use a slip knot lead to pull him away from my older dog Jensen Look so forward to learning more to help Max & us to become a happier family
Trainer note from Laura
Hi Sharon, thank you for the review, it is always good to see the instant results and looking forward to our next session. Laura

21st September 2023 - Kelly McClelland
Kelly dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety, Sibling rivalry
Kelly from Bark Busters is a God send. Our 2 girls have had lots of trouble with sibling rivalry and aggression, jumping on people and anxiety. Kelly has helped us with all of these problems and we noticed an IMMEDIATE change in the dogs. When she had left from our session we had 2 new dogs. We have been continuing our program training every day and they keep getting better and we can finally live in peace! Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏼
Trainer note from Kelly
Nothing will make anyone smile more than a pair of Staffordshire Bull Terriers, happy faces, wagging tails! Your girls are just gorgeous, but when there is fighting, everyone walks around on eggshells, trying not to set them off :-(. You have both done a great job to date with their training, but with an unbalanced pack, we had to look at food and sleeping options, structure within the home, and how we could show leadership without losing affection - no one wants a robot! They responded like a dream to the training (so grateful they didn't have to try and be the boss!), and I am looking forward to lesson #2, where we'll work on pulling, roadwork, and dog to dog management / reactivity. Then onto your free group sessions, with confidence! Awesome work!

Michelle dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall, Separation anxiety, Toileting, Other
Michelle is a brilliant dog trainer and teacher
She has expertly understood our dogs characters and taught how to change their behaviours as a result
I am in awe of what I have learnt about my dogs
The training to achieve and fix problematic behaviour is explained and taught excellently
It’s really very simple and requires consistency and a little homework on your part
My digs are becoming so well behaved
I’m feeling so much happier and a sense of freedom
And I am enjoying my digs a lot more
Thankyou so much Michelle
20th September 2023 - Kelly McClelland
Kelly dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling, Recall, Toileting
It was brilliant to have Kelly visit and impart so much knowledge to us our about our fur baby Lucy. Lucy has responded to the new rules and lessons really well.
Trainer note from Kelly
What a pocket rocket Miss Lucy is! Such a delightful Frenchie, but I could see as soon as I arrived how her behaviour was causing your family so much stress. From cat chasing, barking, jumping and nipping, and over guarding the humans, at lesson #1 we showed gentle methods to gain her attention, correct Lucy with being a cat bully, and how to alleviate the barking at people walking past. In addition to this, we put safety measures in for sleeping, walking and in the office manners! I can't wait for lesson #2, where we'll solidify what you've implemented, and add on some external education and control. Awesome job!

15th September 2023 - Michelle Reay
Michelle dealt with Aggression, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall, Separation anxiety, Sibling rivalry
Odie is a rescue staffy who we struggled with reading and directing his behaviour, providing guidance and working with his intense drive, reactivity and aggression on certain occasions. After the first visit, Michelle gave us a lot of information, methods and exercises to help direct and work with Odie in a way that he was receptive too. We have seen a lot of progress with his behaviour after the first week
Trainer note from Michelle
It was a pleasure working with you and Odie and teaching him to relax and accept Artie into the family. He took to the training really well and is now looking to you for his cues so much more. Keep up the training exercises and practice and he will continue to improve - well done!

13th September 2023 - Catharina Jeffery
Catharina dealt with Puppy management, Sibling rivalry, Toileting
Cat has been an absolute blessing, we had our second lesson today for our puppy who we have been having trouble toilet training and eating her poo.
I came into owning a puppy very confident and seeing her eat poop knocked me down a peg quickly. I found bark busters and Cat! She quickly fitted us in and reinforced confidence back into me as a pet owner. I’ve found her techniques very easy and effective to work into every day life which I absolutely love as it’s given us all structure and routine which in turn has really grown our bond back with our puppy!
If I have ever been unsure or needed a bit of guidance Cat is always responsive. I also really appreciate after having our second lesson that if at any point something stops working she will always endeavour to give you a new plan. She is so full of knowledge and it’s easy to talk too.
I have very much enjoyed this experience and has made dog ownership so much less stressful having a professional to rely on.
It was also a nice touch to be given training equipment at no extra expense and being shown how to use it appropriately.
Cat is worth her weight in gold! Thank you so much
Trainer note from Catharina
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, it is my pleasure to be working with you and Tillie (19 week old French Bulldog). Coprophagia can be a tricky issue to overcome, but your dedication in following your training program to not only address this issue but also her general puppy training was really evident on your second lesson, well done again!! Looking forward to seeing even more progress over the next few weeks :)
