Kristie dealt with Aggression, Barking, Separation anxiety
Kristie is extremely knowledgeable, confident, and very caring. She is passionate about what she does and is very patient in teaching how to correct behaviour. We noticed results after the first lesson, and I am really looking forward to learning more from Kristie. I would highly recommend Kristie; she is so friendly & understanding, and she achieves real results!

Philippa dealt with Chewing, Digging, Jumping up, Pulling
Bark busters has been amazing for our 11 month old German Shepherd, Bear. We have seen immediate results in the week following our first training session, and have found a way to communicate with Bear in a way that he understands. He doesn’t jump on me anymore and has been less destructive of a night time now that we know how to settle him for a good proper rest.
Trainer note from Philippa
Well done! Great to know you are able to get the results. Keep up the good approach developing trust and respect. What a lovely German Shepherd who was welcomed into his new pack 2 months ago. Loving his good kind Leaders.

Glen & Maureen dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling
Only had one lesson so far but it is really making a difference with the newest member of the family, a rescue called Doris. It was perhaps more informative training us rather than Doris. Looking forward To more lessons and I highly recommend bark busters
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thanks Steve.

Ric dealt with Barking, Recall, Other
I was thrilled at the immediate positive response from Pippa and confidently believe I will achieve what has been clearly set out for me to follow. I am sure I will become more fluent in 'Dog'. Would recommend Ric to any owner with a dog behaviour problem.
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. It was wonderful to see Pippa respond so positively right from the start, and I’m really pleased to hear you’re feeling confident moving forward. You’ve taken on the guidance beautifully, and becoming more fluent in “dog” is exactly what sets you and Pippa up for long‑term success. I truly appreciate your recommendation. It means a lot, and I’m glad to be part of Pippa’s progress.

We can't recommend Rick highly enough. He was amazing.
We had an issue with introducing an excitable Boxer with a small puppy and were so worried about the puppy getting hurt.
Within an hour of being shown how to introduce them and how to manage the older dog, they were later that day laying together, walking around like life long mates.
He also taught us how to walk the Boxer so we are in control and not being pulled. Well worth the money paid and would recommend him to anyone who is having problems with behaviour or just want a well trained dog.
Trainer note from Ric
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. I’m really glad to hear how beautifully George and Poppy have settled together, once the right structure is in place life long bonds are made. It’s always rewarding for me to see the shift when customers go from worry to happy glow when harmony is enabled, especially in situations where size and energy levels can feel overwhelming. I’m so thrilled the walking techniques have made such a difference too. When you’re in control and your dog understands what’s expected, everything becomes more enjoyable for both of you. I truly appreciate your recommendation and the trust you placed in me. It was a pleasure working with both you and your dogs, and I’m so glad you’re seeing such positive results and fast too. If you ever need support down the track, I’m always here to help. Thank you Ric

Ric was very informative with his information and Daisy took to him straight away. Having great results after only a week.

23rd April 2026 - Kelly McClelland
Kelly dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
We contacted Kelly as our year old English bulldog was nipping at our son.
Immediately Kelly recognised the problem and instructed us with the tools to help resolve this problem. Our dog responded instantly. It has only been 3 days since our lesson and our dog is behaving and following instructions.
I would highly recommend Kelly
Trainer note from Kelly
Thanks Paula! You absolutely did the right thing with instigating training, as nipping hurts, and apart from the physical bruises, it can cause fear in a child, and often a fractured relationship with the dog as well. Your British Bulldog is delightful, but as shown at lesson 1, she had decided she'd rule the roost! By amending some very simple day to day rules, she immediately relaxed, and learned that her behaviour was undesirable, and also learned what you all wanted from her. Pulling, barking, jumping up, nipping, all targeted at lesson one, and I look forward to supporting your training journey!

Kelly dealt with Aggression, Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall
Kelly has been working with us for 4 months now and her commitment and support has been excellent. We are first time dog owners, and had concerns about our puppy’s behaviour. With her knowledgeable tips on food, nutrition, dog behaviour and psychology, Kelly has continued to provide step by step advice to help us tackle issues concerning us. In the 4 months we have learned so much, have a better behaved dog and know we’re on the road to a happy dog! Thank you Kelly for your support, advice, commitment and dedication in supporting our family with Alfie.
Trainer note from Kelly
Thanks Sharon! You noticed very undesirable traits from a young puppy, including aggression, and your family has been fantastic with training consistency and providing structure. Although this is a Zoom associated training relationship, we have also done face to face training when I have travelled interstate, and it has been our pleasure to support this process!

Kath dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
Kathy has been amazing. First session was long and extremely thorough. We have seen instant positive changes in our dogs behaviour. We feel understood and fully supported by Kathy. Having rehomed a dog with known aggression problems, have some big behavioural issues to address, yet with Kathy’s guidance and staged professional approach we are very hopeful.
Trainer note from Kath
Thankyou for your kind review! Its always a pleasure to see the changes in dogs with aggression and reactivity issues once those communication lines are open! As we work through his problem areas your gorgeous Bedlington will be living a much more enjoyable and less stressful life - and you will too! Looking forward to catching up again soon :)

Kath was great and Charlie is responding really well to the things he has been taught. I love how much he has improved to being the family dog we are after
Trainer note from Kath
Thank you for your review! Charlie's a great young dog and its awesome seeing that sharp kelpie mind at work and understanding what you want - whether that that be mowing the yard in peace or enjoying a walk without being pulled down the street - and by understanding his needs his aggression problems should begin to resolve too - great work and good boy Charlie!

Kelly dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Separation anxiety
Kelly was great, explanations of behaviour made sense and training techniques brought impressive results. Maple has responded well to her change of position within the household and seems really content.
Trainer note from Kelly
Maple is just like a pretty and perfect doll! I loved seeing her improvements at lesson two, and she really showed how much she wants to please you. Getting her barking, jumping up, and social manners with family dogs was crucial to a relaxing lifestyle, and you have mailed it, well done!
