Michelle you have changed our lives!
We cannot get over how quickly Coco (and Sandy) have adapted to becoming well behaved dogs.
You are amazing and we are so grateful.
Trainer note from Michelle
Thank you so much for your beautiful words. It has been an absolute pleasure working with you, Coco, and Sandy. Coco is such an intelligent Swiss Shepherd—she picks things up so quickly—and sweet Sandy has the loveliest nature, always trying her best. Seeing them both settle into calm, well‑mannered routines so fast is a credit to the work you’re putting in at home. I’m thrilled to hear how much their progress has changed life for you. I’m grateful for the opportunity to support your family, and I’m always here if you need anything as the girls continue to grow and learn.

RIC was verry professional and extremely knowledgeable. He explained the process thoroughly and worked with both of our dogs. The results were fantastic. With noticeable improvements in the first session. Highly recommend his services to anyone looking to improve their relationship with their dogs.

It was a pleasure working with both of your dogs, and I’m glad the clear explanations and hands‑on work helped you see meaningful improvements right from the first session. Your commitment to the process makes all the difference, and I truly appreciate the recommendation. Looking forward to our next session. Kind Regards Ric

Ric dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Separation anxiety
Highly recommend Ric from Bark Busters. I have 2 German shepherds that are great dogs but needed just a little tweaking and in my first session I was able to learn the right correction technique for helping my dogs make decisions for themselves. I loved the fact that Ric came to my home to see my dogs in their environment and he spent a considerable amount of time just explaining everything to me so I now am confident in understanding my dogs needs and become the leader they need.
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with your two German Shepherds, and I’m glad the first in‑home session has helped your confidence and adding good techniques and understanding to your training and their needs. They’re fantastic dogs, and your commitment to learning and leading them will make all the difference as they continue to grow. Kind Regards Ric

15th January 2026 - Kristie Toombs
Kristie dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Puppy management, Other
Kristie was very informative and thorough. She managed to get my dog [ Buddy ] to obey her within the first 5 minutes, we were all very impressed. Kristie gave us the tools and methods to continue ongoing training with my dog. He has improved already just with one lesson. Would highly recommend Kristie and Bark Busters if you need to learn how to train your dog.
10th January 2026 - Ric Kennedy
Ric dealt with Aggression, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
Wow, Chilly respected Ric on arrival. We saw a change in behaviour in the first 10 mins. We appreciated the detailed advice and follow-up email with detailed instruction for us. In two days, Chilly has learned how to walk through doors and walk on a lead without pulling. Highly recommend Ric, worth every penny!
Trainer note from Ric
Hello, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. It was a pleasure working with you and Chilly, and I’m thrilled to hear how quickly Chilly is picking things up. You both have done a fantastic job putting the strategies into practice — with consistency will make all the difference. I’m really glad the follow‑up notes were helpful as well. Please keep me posted on Chilly’s progress, I'm looking forward to our next session. Thank you. Kind Regards Ric

Kristie dealt with Jumping up
Kristie explained the training methodology and procedures in a simple and easily understood way. And her initial efforts seemed to have some positive impact on Bordie's habit of jumping and biting.
The life of dog support and guarentee gives me a level of confidence that my dog's behaviour will improve.

Martin dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
I'm over the moon with how well Lilly has responded after just 1 lesson. I'm looking forward to seeing Lilly reach her full potential, not only for me but for her and her safety. I cannot recommend Bark Busters highly enough to all. In fact I have already told a friend and she will be looking into Bark Busters very soon. Hope this review may help others looking for a solution to obtaining a wonderful relationship with their 4 legged fur baby/babies.
Trainer note from Martin
Hi Jo, Thank your for your kind review. It was great working with you, Tony and with Lilly's behavioural issues. Keep practicing and keep up the good work that you are doing. I'm looking forward to our next lesson.

6th January 2026 - Kelly McClelland
Kelly dealt with Chewing, Digging, Jumping up, Puppy management, Toileting
Really happy with the information that Kelly provided me with. She knows A LOT and helped me so much already! I love that you can contact her anytime with all sorts of (dog) questions! This is my first pet and I already feel much more comfortable in the training and nutrition after just one session. Would definitely recommend Kelly!
Trainer note from Kelly
First time puppy owner, thanks so much for choosing a rescue! Your wee little Staffy x, Winter, is a delight, and really enjoyed the training. With babies, at the first lesson, we focus on mouthing, biting, jumping up, lack of focus, toilet training, lead training, gate training and recall. We have just completed your second lesson, where we focused on heel work, sit, stay (obedience), gate racing and recall with distraction. I am looking forward to lesson #3, you're doing an amazing job with him, well done!
