Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials
13th September 2023 - Kelly McClelland
Kelly dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Kelly has a natural gift with animals. Her expertise and professionalism is clear from the start. The theory lesson was fantastic - Kelly pin pointed the exact reasons behind our bulldog Bindi’s behavioural issues, which included barking, nipping, hyperactivity, pulling and aggression. We had results from the very first lesson. Kelly was very thorough and patient, and we practiced each technique until we got it right. Bindi is now like a completely different dog, and is absolutely thriving! Her barking has reduced dramatically, she no longer nips, and is much calmer. Kelly has continued to support us through the whole journey, and has answered all of our questions and concerns. We couldn’t recommend her enough! She is Brisbane’s best dog whisperer. Thank you Kelly! Can’t wait for the next lesson.
Trainer note from Kelly
Thank you so much for your positive feedback and thoughts on our positive training system - but you have done all the hard work, so you get the Gold Star! It was clear at the first session how much everyone loves Bindi, but there was also an element of caution / fear, not knowing how to handler her issues. We targeting the door (manners), jumping up, mouthing, visitor aggression, recall, positive crate training, obedience - and wow, wasn't she an awesome pupil! Repetition and consistency is key, and your whole family nailed it! Second lesson went from total unfocussed pulling, to walking politely on a loose lead, watching for your commands - road manners / safety got a good start, and we will move in to dog reactivity / lunging at lesson #3 - can't wait! Keep up the amazing work!

Michelle dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall, Sibling rivalry
Michelle is brilliant! She was very conscious in delivering the training in a way we could understand and helped us to put a plan in place over the next few weeks to practice until the next visit. We will be recommending Michelle to all our friends and maybe even random strangers we meet on doggy walks!

Glen & Maureen dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Sibling rivalry
Glen absolutely helped us deconstruct Chorizo's separation anxiety and his reactive barking. I was skeptical, but by the end of the session everything fell in to place and we're maintaining our focus on the little sausage's progress.
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thanks Remy, Mini Dachshund Chorizo is a great dog, and I look forward to seeing him flourish.

Todd dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
Todd made everything very simple for us and the dogs and the results were instant. Nearly a week later it is still amazing the difference it makes having clear and firm instructions.

Kelly dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling
Big help to re-jig the way you communicate with your dog. Very helpful and easy to learn when understood.
Trainer note from Kelly
Even though you are an experienced dog owner, it was so wonderful to be invited in to find tune Oakley's training. As a staffy x lab, she has energy to burn, and showing you how to channel that energy in a positive way, through programming and training, was so enjoyable! By correcting her jumping up, gaining control of her lead pulling, working on recall and gate manners is setting you up positively for a long and loving relationship. Setting boundaries for once your newborn comes home from hospital will make the transition peaceful, and give you a sense of control - she's a lovely pup, can't wait for lesson #2, to continue to provide support!

Emma dealt with Aggression, Barking, Sibling rivalry
Emma has been amazing when helping us with some behaviour issues with our dog, Koda. Koda responded to Emma's training immediately and we saw great progress. Emma was always willing to help, taking phone calls and messages whenever we were concerned. I would recommend Emma to everyone!

Kelly dealt with Chewing, Puppy management, Toileting
Kelly was very friendly, approachable and our puppy loved her. She provided a lot of information with helpful tips and tricks and answered all our questions in our first lesson.
Trainer note from Kelly
As first time dog owners, you were both so open minded, and willing to work on new ways to manage your relationship with your delightful Cavoodle! With our gentle training methods we saw improvements straight away with his jumping up, mouthing, recall - we kick started his lead work, and got toileting on the right path. I am looking forward to supporting you into lesson #2, where we'll start on door manners, stay, road safety and get out into the wide world of distractions LOL! Well done!

Callum was very informative and what he taught us made a lot of sense.

Glen & Maureen dealt with Barking, Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall
Glen is the 'Dog Whisperer'! He has a skill with dogs that you wouldn't believe unless you saw him in action. Within 15 minutes, he had my large, barky, jumpy but timid 12 month old puppy, Louis, under control. He taught me skills to not only manage my Louis, but briefly met with my other two dogs with immediate response. Louis has improved remarkably and I am continuing with the training methods Glen taught me for all my dogs. I am beyond grateful and happy with everything provided. A gem!
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
So Glad that Rottweiler X Mastiff Louis is doing so well.

Michelle dealt with Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall
We had a very productive session with Michelle. Learnt a lot of techniques and an understanding of Mack's behaviour.
We now have a responsive dog and are able to go for a walk without anxiety.
Trainer note from Michelle
It was great to see you and Mack grow in confidence during our session. Hopefully he has continued to improve with his walking techniques and the foundation training exercises.
