26th June 2026 - Philippa Dakin
Philippa dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall, Separation anxiety, Sibling rivalry
We had the pleasure of getting Philippa out from Bark Busters to help control my fur babies. I have 6 Jack Russel cross and a Belgum Mal, within the 1st day of meeting Philippa we had the dogs listening to certain commands and helped with the barking at the door when people visited. I am looking forward to working with Philippa and learning how to talk dog talk.

23rd June 2026 - Kelly McClelland
Kelly dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Separation anxiety
After just the very first training session with Kelly, my very busy young collie/Kelpie cross has been walking at my side like an angel! Instead of always being in front; on guard. I am really amazed! Naturally me, as the owner, needed the training, and my dog Missy, responded immediately to Kelly's methods. I am just so happy, and really looking forward to our next session. I would absolutely recommend Kelly. She read my dog from the getgo, and provided so much great information & an education.
Trainer note from Kelly
Thanks Jonquil! I can't even begin to describe the first vs second lesson. Her attempts at lunging, nipping, and definitely barking (at the first lesson) were causing you so much stress, especially with close neighbours in proximity. She absolutely soaked up the training, her tail went from tucked under in fear, to relaxed and wagging - from needing to be at least 3m to make her feel safe, to standing right next to me, trying to sniff my work boots - what an amazing dog! Fear reactivity needs to be handled correctly with working breeds - and the second lesson was a breath of fresh air. What a relaxed, attentive, and obedient girl she has become in such a short period of time. Massive well done, see you soon at group training!

22nd June 2026 - Ric Kennedy
Ric dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall
My partner and I are so glad we reached out to Ric! From the get go, Ric was very friendly and approachable! He took note of our boy River’s behavioural problems and put together a training plan, suited to River’s needs. Ric explained what was expected of us very clearly.
River is taking to training really well and we have already noticed immediate results!
We look forward to our next lesson with Ric!
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you so much for the lovely message. It was great meeting you both and getting to know River — he’s such a sweet boy, and I’m really glad to hear you’re already seeing changes. I’m happy the plan feels clear and easy to follow. You’ve both jumped into the training with such a positive attitude, and River is responding beautifully because of it. I’m really looking forward to our next session and building on the great progress he’s already making. Thanks again for taking the time to share this. Kind Regards Ric

Kelly dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall
Very happy and confident that we will have a positive outcome. Kelly was very knowledgeable and confident in her delivery of the session and communicating.
Trainer note from Kelly
Thanks Kevin! Your Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a gorgeous chunk of love and muscle, and implementing some gentle training and boundaries for the safety of your at home work was crucial! Door manners were mint at lesson 2, so we moved onto Chicken chasing and stock control, which he responded to like a dream. We now have his pulling on lead under control as well - what a delightful companion he is! Thanks so much for all your consistent efforts, well done :-)

Glen & Maureen dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Maureen had our dog under control within the first 10 minutes of her visit! She was firm but kind which is exactly what our dog needed.
Maureen had wonderful insight into how dogs behave and their reactions to us. She was very informative and so far we are moving towards a more positive experience with our pooch.
Highly recommend Maureen, she is also very quick to respond to any questions we have 😊
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thanks so much Fiona, and I am super pleased that little Stella is doing so well, keep up the great work.

Cliff was awesome. Their experience showed and ability to tune into my dogs’ different personalities was very cool to watch.
16th June 2026 - Stefanie Budiman
Stefanie dealt with Puppy management
Stefanie from Bark Busters has been fantastic in helping us train our 6-month-old groodle, River. From a strong first session to ongoing support and check-ins, we’ve seen incredible progress in just 3 weeks. River is now calmer, responsive, and much more manageable around our toddler grandkids. Highly recommend Stefanie and the Bark Busters method, but be ready to put in the work!

Thanks Noel, It was lovely meeting you & Bruce, the Miniature Schnauzer, and helping you to address his barking, jumping, behaviour around visitors and walking, along with a few other things that cheeky Bruce was getting away with.

Even after the 1st lesson Bruce calmed down no more pulling or nipping and he as started to come back to us off the lead very happy with results
Trainer note from Catharina
It was great to help you with Bruce's (14 wk old Jack Russell Terrier) training and set him on track to be a great dog. Every puppy can be different, and finding the right fit for you and your dog is key. It was great to help you get the results you wanted fast, and I'm looking forward to seeing your progress at your next lesson.
