Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials
24th April 2026 - Ric Kennedy
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

Glen & Maureen dealt with Barking, Sibling rivalry
Amazed at the dogs response to some discipline after just 1 session. It has made our dogs more enjoyable to be around and a greater part of the family. Thanks to Maureen and the team at Bark Busters

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!

Kelly dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Separation anxiety
Kelly was so knowledgeable and made everything easy to understand. She guided us through each exercise by clearly explaining and modelling what to do, which made a big difference. I really appreciated how she also explained the why behind each technique. This helped everything click which made our homework tasks much easier to follow. Kelly was positive, supportive and encouraging throughout. Looking forward to our next session. Thank you :)
Trainer note from Kelly
Thanks Kylie, what a delicious Cavoodle your boy is :-). But, because is so cute, he was literally getting away with everything, just with a melting look hahaha. With some simple boundaries set, a small amount of daily programming, and tailoring the training to your personal concerns with Teddy, he has shown how awesome a dog he can be! At the second lesson, seeing how improved his door manners, barking and lead work were - you get 5 stars for your effort and dedication. See you soon for your 2 free group sessions, and you'll also be covered for life with our guarantee. Well done!

Kye dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Pulling
Very professional and couldn’t be happier we had contacted bark busters. Wish we did it sooner.

Kelly dealt with Pulling, Recall, Other
Kelly has been very helpful, training has been easy with her guidance. she is very knowledgeable. i have no hesitation recommending her to anyone looking to train their dog.
Trainer note from Kelly
Thanks Ash! I am thoroughly enjoying working with you both, and thanks again for taking on a rehome/rescue, he's such a delight. Large breeds, like Irish Wolfhound crosses, need focus on control, and each session your improvements are incredible. We've already focused on separation work, door banging, pulling, recall, and night time manners. I am looking forward to consolidating last sessions' education on street work, by going for a walk and working on lead reactivity. Thanks again, and well done!

Kath dealt with Aggression, Other
My little dog Crystal has a few issues with people, dogs and taking flight when nervous. Kath has shown how to correctly walk her with a collar instead of a harness and already I am seeing changes in her, she seems a lot more relaxed which makes me extremely happy. Kath is a easy person to talk to I throughly enjoyed my 1st session with her.
Trainer note from Kath
Thank you for your review! It's been wonderful seeing the positive changes in Crystals behaviour and also in you! Just being able to enjoy walking her instead of dreading it has opened up a whole new world for you all. I look forward to revisiting when your new home is ready and we can work on the other areas you need assistance with around the home!

Fantastic experience. Ken really knows his stuff. He listens carefully to our needs & is able to clearly instruct all members of my family on handling our GSD.
Trainer note from Ken
Thanks Christine, Champs aggression will be resolved once he sees consistent leadership from his humans. Our goal will be to get him walking with a loose lead past dogs and to not react!
