Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials
27th August 2024 - Kelly McClelland
Looking forward to continuing our work with Kelly. She has given us the tools and motivation to help Tobi with his behaviour problems - things we didn't even realise were a problem!
Trainer note from Kelly
Tobi is an absolute pocket rocket, and I can certainly see how his at home manners were causing so much stress, especially with a new (human) baby! Controlling barking, recall, door answering, door racing and lead work has certainly gotten you on the right path, and I am looking forward to starting at the door @ lesson #2, and doing walking with the pram manners. Excellent work!

Had the pleasure of working with Ric and our two girls, a 4 year old Bull Arab and a 3 year old kelpie. Our dogs had been having some sibling rivalry which had become too much to manage without keeping them separate. Our Bull Arab is often stubborn but was immediately Ric's best friend and listened intently to Ric's practice and training. Our Kelpie who likes attention was sitting and listening to Ric's instruction and was first time we had seen her not bother a visitor for attention. Both girls were very engaged and attentive to the training and responded very well, it was clear they were enjoying being challenged and learning. For myself and my partner, Ric was excellent in training us as well so we can continue to train our girls to so they feel happy and safe. The training style is very informative and Ric is not judgmental and very supportive, with an approach that while most dog owners do things right, we don't speak dog and we can always be better.

Stef is an incredibly skilled trainer and we are so grateful to have had her guidance and expertise with our puppy Maggie. We could not recommend her dog training services enough! Stef/Bark busters has supported us to feel confident and empowered to be a leader to Maggie. Thank you for your wisdom Stef!
Trainer note from Stefanie
Thank you Aimee! It's such a pleasure to work with awesome owners such as yourself and Tom! Maggie the English Setter is such a smart cookie and does try hard to figure things out. No doubt with continued consistency in training, she is going to grow into such a well balanced and sweet girl! Keep up the great work and looking forward to seeing her progress!

After years of persevering with many other training methods that didn’t result in any positive change, Michelle accurately assessed the behaviour issues we were having and gave me the skills and confidence to establish boundaries that my dog and I both needed. The positive results were instant and continuing to get even better. I can’t recommend Michelle and Bark Busters highly enough.
17th August 2024 - Glen & Maureen Guelfi
Maureen was super knowledgable about all things dogs and had a great manner when training both us and the 2 dogs! We have only had one session so far but learnt a lot about behaviour, nutrition as well training and the psychology behind the methods used by Bark Busters . Maureen was punctual, patient and professional. We feel confident that with time and persistence we will have two well behaved and happy dogs! We would not hesitate in recommending Bark Busters to fellow dog owners!!

Thanks for leaving a review Jimi! It was great to meet you both and help you with Leighton's (3yo, Staffordshire Terrier) anxiety and dog reactivity issues. It was wonderful to see him change before our eyes in your first lesson. I look forward to seeing his progress at your next session :)

After just one lesson we have a wealth of information, and the right techniques to train and care for our beautiful puppy. She is responding very well, and we have a lot more confidence that we are doing the right thing with her.
Thanks Maureen and Bark Busters! Would not hesitate to recommend you to family and friends. Looking forward to working with you for the next few lessons to ensure we have a happy, healthy, and well behaved puppy :)

Really really happy with Ric and his help with our two little rascals. He absolutely knew his stuff, was very informative and listened to our needs well. He explained things so well and we covered a great amount in the first lesson . I'm excited to see improvements over the next few weeks. I'm so happy I made this investment to make both our lives and our dogs lives better :)

15th August 2024 - Glen & Maureen Guelfi
Glen was amazing with our rescue dog Tommy from the moment he walked in the door.
He gave us lots of information and advice on how to correct the issues we had with Tommy’s behaviour but also explained why he had those behaviours in the first place.
Our main issue with Tommy was his barking both in the home and outdoors when on walks. Being a rescue dog that has previously been mistreated, Tommy has always been a little bit nervous around new people and new situations and therefor barks. Unfortunately, because he is a big boy with a big voice, his barks can sound quite intimidating to other dogs and owners we pass on walks.
The techniques Glen showed us for walking Tommy have made an incredible difference. We are only a few days into our ongoing training and already Tommy is much calmer, less nervous and more confident when out and about.
We’re looking forward to continuing on this journey with Tommy and helping him learn correct manners so he can make doggy pals and not be as nervous around new people and situations.
We cannot recommend Glen highly enough. He’s so knowledgeable and made the whole experience very easy. Thanks so much Glen
