Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

28th February 2025 - Kelly McClelland

Kelly dealt with Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall

Kelly was lovely to deal with on the phone, and helpful and engaging in person. She explained everything well and was patient with our (many) questions. Kelly demonstrated clear techniques we could use when training Maggie, and gave us ample opportunities to practice them in front of her with Maggie ourselves. Kelly is open and happy to be contacted for further questions and follow-up. We were happy with the quick progress Maggie showed after only one or two days since Kelly had visited, and know we have a much happier dog. I am now very hopeful for the future with our dog. Thanks Kelly!

- M.P, Brassall (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Kelly
Thanks so much for your kind feedback, it was so great to work with you both and your family. Chewing, destruction, pulling on lead, jumping up, these are all things that are so infuriating for an owner. We just want a lovely pet to be a positive part of our family. Maggie is a sweet wee little Cocker Spaniel (whose tail never stopped!) and she was a literal sponge with the training. She showed a level of calmness post training that was wonderful to see, and it will be great to be able to remove the garden barricades, now that we've targeted her destruction. Walking and in public manners will be lesson #2, plus stair manners, and focus away from the house. Well done, great job!

28th February 2025 - Philippa Dakin

Philippa dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall

We thought that there was no chance of helping our dog but within an hour our dog was completely changed. We are so impressed with the improvement we have seen. Barkbusters operate differently to normal trainers where they train the owner to communicate with their dog rather than rewarding and training the dog. We have learnt ways to train and help our overreactive dog who wouldn’t listen. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received.

- J.E, Sutton (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Philippa
Well done to Willow a 14 month Mareema X Deerhound and his pack leaders. Willow responded so well to the training and loved thinking and knowing how to make the right decisions. Definitely putting the right paw forward!

Ric dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall

I had a phone call a few weeks from the power meter man, to let me know that my dog speedy was not jumping on him. The best part is now that my 6 year old son can go outside without fearing that the dog we jump on him, After only having 2 sessions with bark buster. Thank you for all your help so far

- C.B, Seaton (Testimonial)

25th February 2025 - Emma Reeves

Emma dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall

In just one visit Emma had our super excited Kelpie following our commands, using manners and being calm around visitors. It's just the start of our training journey but we were so happy and confident in the tools that Emma gave us. Everything was explained well and made sense. Love that the support is ongoing and already looking forward to our followup.

- J.L, Singleton (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Emma

25th February 2025 - Catharina Jeffery

Catharina dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Separation anxiety

Excellent like a different dog

- J.M, Dunsborough (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks for leaving a review John. Harlie (8 year old Kelpie) was dog aggressive and her owners had tried to manage this since rescuing her. To see her walk by an excitable puppy and still focus on you when asked, and not react to him in her first lesson was an absolute pleasure. It really shows that dogs can make huge changes in behavior (in a short time) when we have the right structure in place. Looking forward to your next lesson and working with you further.

23rd February 2025 - Laura Burton

Laura dealt with Jumping up, Pulling, Recall

Laura provided us with a comprehensive 2+ hour session. We went through some background info, some great theory and then on to the 'hands on' practice. It was invaluable - I learned so much and was able to apply it straight away with Tilly which was fabulous. Well worth the investment. Laura has a deep understanding of dogs and how to get the best from them. I'm sure I'll be getting more refresher courses along the way - Thank you Laura!

- K.T, Sydney (Testimonial)

Hi Kerry, Thank you for your review, it was great working with you and Tilly, we made great progress and keep up the good work. Laura

Great first training class! Very in-depth and we learnt a lot. We also witnessed some immediate positive changes in our dog (and ourselves) and are looking forward to continuing training and adapting.

Emma dealt with Aggression, Barking, Recall, Toileting

I was very impressed how Emma was able to tailor a standard training system to meet the needs of my disabled sister. Emma was able to converse the requirements of the training very well and the dog responded accordingly. Look forward to future sessions and guidance from Emma.

18th February 2025 - Kelly McClelland

Kelly dealt with Chewing, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall, Separation anxiety, Toileting, Other

We are not the type of people to leave reviews but let me tell you.... We cannot recommend Kelly from Bark Busters highly enough! After just two sessions with her, we have seen a remarkable improvement in our 4 m/o pup's behaviour. Her expertise, deep knowledge, and years of experience in dog training are evident in everything she does. Kelly is not only professional but also incredibly friendly, approachable, and even has a great sense of humour, making the training process enjoyable for both us and our pup. She explains everything in a way that is easy to understand and gives us the confidence to continue reinforcing the training at home. What truly sets "Bark Busters" and Kelly apart is her deep understanding of all aspects of dog care. She has given us invaluable advice on everything from training and behaviour to nutrition- She even knew which plants in our garden are toxic to dogs and advised us on the risks and contraindications and "what needs to go". Her holistic approach ensures that we are not just training Delilah but also providing her with the best possible environment to thrive. With Kelly by our side and the knowledge we have gained, we are more than confident that Delilah will grow into an intelligent, obedient, and well-mannered dog. Her guidance has given us the tools to ensure Delilah has the best quality of life and we too, get the best possible pup - bringing both Delilah and us to our highest potential - as pup parents. We couldn’t be happier with the progress we’ve seen so far, Thanks to Kelly, our girl is more responsive, calm, and well-behaved, and we are so grateful for her guidance. If you are looking for an exceptional dog trainer or behaviouralist, we would absolutely recommend Kelly to anyone and everyone. She truly is amazing! If you're considering making the call and are still unsure, this is your sign - Don't walk, RUN! - Kelly is your gal and you will not regret it! with gratitude, Kali, Scott & Delilah 🐾

- K.F, Greenbank (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Kelly
Ohhh, this is just so very lovely, you have both been so amazing to work with (I love a note taker!), and you have both engaged yourselves in every single step of Delilah's training journey. Of course we did the normal puppy management, that makes every owner's life easier - recall, sit, stay, mouthing, jumping up, lead training, toilet training, crate training and sleeping patterns. And Miss D responded like a dream, terriers love to be trained and she had so much fun! At the second lesson we had a quick look through the garden to sort out her reactive rash (Good old Moses in the Cradle was the culprit!), and then we moved onto recall with distraction, and calling her away from the neighbours fence / dogs. There were some control concerns with grooming and washing, so off to the wash area we went, and a clean puppy emerged - showing holding techniques, and how to bathe correctly will allow you to self manage her care as well. I am looking forward to lesson 3, up at the park, and getting Delilah out and about! Thanks again, you are all amazing!
