Reviews & Testimonials For Kelly McClelland

Our Minature Wirehair dachshund Moki was a bit of a terror and we were at our wits end. We then contacted Kelly, well what can I say. After the first 2 hours Moki was a different dog very obedient, stopped barking and now is well behaved. I would recommend any one who has a problem with their furry pal to contact Kelly at Bark Busters she is brilliant.

Kelly was fantastic. Gave us heaps of great tips. We never thought we could retrain our 12 year old dominating Shepherd. Well yes you can! So far so good. No more complaints from Council for barking. Thank you Kelly!!

Found the training techniques to be easy to follow and understand for my pup Will.

Found the training experience enjoyable and was pleased with training techniques used. I would recommend Bark Busters.

We finally decided to give Kelly from Bark Busters a call. We just couldn't live with the stress of our 4 year old Ridgeback cross Toby barking constantly and showing aggression towards anyone who would come over to our house or even near the house. Even a car door slamming would set him off. We lived with so much stress and fear worrying that Toby might bite someone or that we would get complaints about his barking. With myself being 6 months pregnant we thought something needed to be done. When Kelly arrived at our house she saw Toby in action and whilst it was embarrassing for us, Kelly put our minds at ease and made us feel so comfortable. Kelly explained why Toby was showing these behaviours and gave us insight into a dogs natural instinct which made us understand how to help Toby. Kelly took us through the training we can do with Toby and guided us as we did the training - Kelly even gave me differentiated strategies to use that are perfectly safe for a pregnant woman to do! Toby responded immediately to the commands and training during Kelly's first visit and by the end of the first session we already had a calmer dog! My husband and I cannot believe the change we have seen in Toby and a month later we are even more impressed as we have been continuing the training. Every session we have with Kelly we are able to choose what we work on depending on what Toby needs help with. Kelly even came over on her day off to do a walk by our house one day when my husband and I were at work just to see how Toby would react so that she could give us feedback. I can't explain how happy we are with Kelly from Bark Busters, she has changed our dogs life as well as ours - we can actually have people over and even eat dinner in peace now! The sickening stress that we were feeling about Toby possibly biting someone one day has almost reduced completely and will only reduce more as we continue the training. I can't thank Kelly and Bark Busters enough for what they have done for us! Joanna and Aaron Jones

The training was easy to understand, positive for both ourselves and our dog, and immediately effective. Kelly thoroughly explained every requirement with a great deal of patience and good humour - we felt very at home with the concepts. Our 9 year old dog was able to change bad habits immediately - we were amazed and thrilled at the results - it helped us understand so much about his behaviour and our relationship with him. We feel so much more positive towards him as he relates better with us and our house visitors.

Amazing, I have a 10 month old Doberman and she ruled the house, greeted everyone (far too over excitedly, jumping not knowing how big or strong she is). I love my dog but she was stopping me inviting people over because she was just a bit too crazy and if I separated her from us she would cry the entire time. In only 2 short weeks I have reclaimed my house and have gained a respectful dog who knows her place! She no longer goes on the sofa, she doesn't knock me out when I open the door, she lets people in, she does my bark over the top (I still want her to bark a little and protect the house), she has now had over 45 minutes in the house separated from us without crying. We have just had lesson 2 and will be practicing walking on a lead (walking not being pulled to run or pulling my arm off!) So lots more practice ahead. Don't get me wrong I still have a playful fun pup who will push her luck if I let her but I have the knowledge to guide the behaviours now. I think Jasmine has worked as hard as me but it's only been 2 weeks and had such results already. So much so I am having my daughter's birthday party at the house, that's going to be the real test! Thanks Kelly I can now enjoy our crazy puppy dog.

Kelly was such a fantastic trainer!!! I never thought I would be able to say I feel confident in controlling my dogs but I do now. Our German Shepherd and ShepherdxLab are both so well behaved and Kelly has made it so easy to understand their behaviours and language. Its a lovely calm atmosphere in our household now and I still cant believe it! I feel so confident with our dogs and its just a lovely feeling to know I can trust there behaviour. It was such a rewarding and satisfying feeling to see how calm, happy and content they are!! THANKS KELLY!!!

The difference our training with Kelly has made is amazing! Since the birth of our daughter our Golden Retriever George had developed some decent separation anxiety which manifested in constant barking, licking and hyperactivity (including jumping up). After just one session George had completely settled down, no barking and very calm when inside. The tools Kelly has given us to work with George are simple and easy and have meant we can finally all be together as a family both inside and outside. Thanks you so much Kelly!!!

We contacted Bark Busters as we were struggling with the behavioural issues of our mini dachshund puppy. We waited with anticipation with what Kelly could offer us to relieve the stress we were experiencing. Indy was not settling at night, barking constantly and could not be left alone. Kelly explained to us, in detail why she was behaving this way. Within a couple of hours of training we already could see a change in Indy. The techniques used are simple and effective. Kelly returned today to a follow up and offer further advice. Thanks Kelly, after three weeks we now have a more settled and happier puppy.

We waited in anticipation for kaias 1st day of training today with Kelly. Our boy kaia has quite a few behavioural issues where i was giving up, started feeling there was no hope and he would always be naughty and have no ears. I started feeling annoyed, drained, always felt like i was just yelling at him continuously, then I came across Kelly @ Bark Busters and thought if this works im in!!! Today made the biggest change in our lives, A miracle has happened with our boy and that was Kelly, I never thought his mannerism could change in such a short time, and with such positive corrective training would make a huge difference. of course we have a long way to go, but i already feel positive, excited & so eager to see what the future brings with our boy. Thanks so much Kelly, so glad we made the right choice. So to Anyone reading this & thinking 'I wonder if this will work for my dog'? Then look no further, Make the call, you wont regret it, best investment you could ever make for your dogs life !! Kind Regards Hazel Kaire

Our dog Kiba is a Labrador x Kelpie and was very hyperactive, always jumping on us and visitors and was constantly barking to the extent where there was a complaint to our real estate. Within the first few seconds Kelly had sought the problem and we had already seen an immediate change in Kiba's behaviour. Kelly gave us the tools we needed and is well worth the money. I would recommend Kelly to everyone.
