23rd April 2026 - Kelly McClelland
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!

Paul was fantastic! We noted a change in behaviour almost immediate with Paul’s corrections, and then teaching us how to do the same. Toby has been great already since the training, and already much better behaved and barking is under control.

I found Paul very helpful, and he has a good knowledge of dogs and how to read their body language, We found it very good to have private tuition in our home.
Trainer note from Paul
Thanks Bil and Kendra. Beau has great potential and our next session when he is a month older should be very productive.

Paul dealt with Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
My dogs would react badly when out walking & passing other dogs or people. After 1 session I can walk the dogs without incident using the training from Paul & the special collars. I can’t believe the difference after 1 day & am so grateful to Paul giving me the tools to be in charge & enjoy walking the boys now.
Trainer note from Paul
Thank you for your review Judy. Keep up the good work with Bruce and Bertie and remember your newfound confidence goes down the lead to reassure them when walking.

Our lesson was done on 2011 and Paul made the techniques easy to understand by explaining the reasons behind them.Milo tried hard to dominate our training for the first 3 days but he came around and responded well. It was most enjoyable which makes it easy to practice. Milo was very dependent with my father who passed away in 2018 and Milo stopped responding to commands after he passed. I called for much needed help (8 years later) and both Milo and I got a helpful refresher visit. We are both back on track and Milo responded well and we are both having fun again! Life of the Dog Guarantee is just fantastic.
Trainer note from Paul
So glad we've got you and Milo back on track and thanks to my colleague Gabriel for looking after you when I was off sick. We celebrate 30 years in business this year and the Life of the dog guarantee is a major reason for our success. If you need further help, just call.

21st January 2019 - Head Office
Head Office dealt with Aggression, Jumping up, Pulling
Grahame was very helpful and easy to understand. He answered all our questions and was great at modelling how to work with our dog and explaining where the behaviour was stemming from. The training received has helped me feel much more confident and I feel able to give Pepper the guidance she needs. We are still working on her aggression issues, but already I feel better about having control and reading her body language. The skills Grahame shared with my parents and I are invaluable.
Trainer note from Head Office
Pepper the Blue Heeler x has a lovely temperament despite some tough times in the past. Progressing well with the help of the human pack.

8th October 2018 - Paul Labrum
Paul dealt with Hyperactivity, Puppy management, Separation anxiety
I met Paul when Rosie was a puppy and I was a first time dog owner in March 2004.
Sadly, Rosie passed away after a long and happy life in June 2018 at the ripe old age of 14 years and 7 months.
I purchased the Lifetime Package for Rosie and over the years I did need to contact Paul a couple of times for advice.
I got a companion for Rosie and Paul worked with me to ensure that Rosie accepted and enjoyed the presence of a playmate in her castle.
Unfortunately this puppy died very young and once again Paul helped me with supporting Rosie through the grief process after the puppy's passing.
I am getting a new puppy in about 4 weeks and I am hoping that Paul will once again help me with training this puppy to be as lovable and well behaved as Rosie was for her 14+ years.
I have recommended Barkbusters to many people over the years and I am confident that Paul will train my new puppy as successfully as he did with my beloved and very missed Rosie.

Head Office dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling, Recall
The techniques used by Bark Busters are simple, easy to understand and easy to implement. The follow-up session was invaluable for reinforcing and tweaking our technique and for a little more work on the areas most needed. Gabriel was insightful, has a lovely gentle manner and was very supportive; it was clear his goal was to help us achieve a positive outcome. We (my dog and his human) are continuing to make very good progress.
Trainer note from Head Office
Lovely client and really good outcome.
