Reviews & Testimonials For Michelle Howell

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.

I am extremely grateful to Michelle for her amazing skills and knowledge about dogs. She helped me understand my dog's behaviour so I can address the issues properly. I am just so impressed at her skills from the moment she walked in to our home. Since the training 3 days ago, Charlie has been showing a lot of improvement. We will continue to do our homework and I believe that we will reach our goal with Michelle's help, techniques and knowledge. I look forward to be able to be a great dog whisperer to my beloved Charlie. Thank you so much Michelle. You are amazing!

You were amazing. Seeing the amount of control you were able to establish over our dogs within the first 30 minutes was mind blowing. I have been implementing the instruction you provided and I can already see the difference in the dogs. We are really looking forward to seeing all of the positive changes for them as time goes on. Thank you!

Michelle has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to dog psychology. We learnt so much and have already seen the change in our 3 year old cocker spaniel, Frankie, after the first session. We are forever grateful. Thank you Michelle!

Great first session. Very motivating for the family. A lot of challenges coming through with Willow but Marli is responding well.

Really helpful with understanding the power dynamic that was leading to unwanted behaviours. Even in only a few days we've noticed a huge difference in the respect our dog shows us, we were hesitant at first but understand now it's just speaking in a language he understands

Very happy with our progress so far -our dog has better toilet control, has reduced dog aggression and listens to us more. Happy to continue with our homework to progress Wilbur and our connection going forward. We have always felt lucky to have Wilbur and now it's a relief to be able to communicate with him in a way that gets the results we were looking for. We had tried other methods but just found ourselves becoming frustrated.

Michelle is very professional, knowledgeable and supportive. She goes very much out of her way in showing us and Mani the best steps to ensure we are influential leaders and have a happy life together. We had immediate and eye opening results in her initial visit. Thank you Michelle for helping us and giving us the tools to make our relationship with Mani the best we can. You are turning our dreams for Mani into reality.

I could not be happier with the training provided for our dog Teddy by Michelle. Right from our first phone conversation she was understanding, empathetic and supportive about the issues we were having with Teddy. Her communication skills are fantastic and I felt very prepared for our first session together. I was amazed at Michelle's dog knowledge and training skills and she explained all aspects of the training so well, which meant I always understood why we were doing things. Our dog responded so well to her and we could see instantly how effective the training was going to be. She left us with clear training goals to work on over the next week, with assurances that we could contact her if we were having any issues before our next session. We're only a few days into our training and we're already noticing a big change in Teddy. He is so much calmer and responsive to our communication with him. We can't wait to continue our training with Michelle, so that we can have a calm and happy dog who adds happiness to our family without the stress. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone who needs training assistance with their dog!

Michelle is brilliant! She was very conscious in delivering the training in a way we could understand and helped us to put a plan in place over the next few weeks to practice until the next visit. We will be recommending Michelle to all our friends and maybe even random strangers we meet on doggy walks!

We had a good idea of what we were supposed to do to train Duke, but as you pointed out just weren't quite putting it together properly. Hence the frustrating stubbornness and behaviour escalations we were experiencing.
Since the 4 hours with you, we've been able to eat family meals at the table in relative peace, we've not had to put him outside for repeated bad behaviour and he's been really response and interested in the ongoing training. Doesn't hesitate to put his training collar on.
I can appreciate that sustained effort is going to be necessary to achieve our desired outcomes long term. But we can't thank you enough for setting us up for success. Highly recommend your services, worth every cent of the investment made. Thanks Michelle.
