"We were feeling pretty desperate to find a dog trainer who could support us with our 7-month-old Rottweiler, especially with lead walking, scratching at the door, and improving his overall manners. Glenn provided a clear, easy-to-follow approach that made everything much more manageable. In just two hours at our home, we gained so much valuable insight and practical knowledge. We walked away feeling far more confident as dog owners, knowing we’re now using the right training techniques and, most importantly, ones that actually work. Thank you!"

"Cat has made a huge difference to the way we communicate with our dog in such a short time. From day one he was a different dog! 🐕 He no longer jumps at the door when visitors come - he stands back until he is allowed to greet, no longer pulls on the lead when walking and has a much calmer presence overall in the home. Totally worth the investment! Knowing Cat is a call or text away if we need help is invaluable. Thanks for enabling us to enjoy our dog at all times!"

"We are impressed with Philippa's knowledge and approach. She took all the time needed to analyse our situation and propose a tailored training plan to address the reactivity issues with our dog, which was our main concern. She also proposed to improve behaviour around leash walking, recall and stay. Our dog, a 5 year old Kelpie cross responds well to the training methods. The training plan consists of daily short specific exercises based on "passively" establishing leadership and no-treats positive feedback. Our dog respond well to this approach and seems happier and more relaxed now. We're looking forward to our second session with Philippa."

"I cannot say enough positive things about Kelly. From the moment we met and she came to our home we felt reassured and knew we had made the right decision in joining BarkBusters. Kelly was so informative and caring, really listened and knew exactly what was needed to do in assisting us to train our cheeky toy poodle Rusty. :) We are excited for our next lessons and for the well trained dog I know Kelly will help us achieve. Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou......."

"Kye is honestly one of the best dog trainers I’ve worked with. My dog had resource guarding issues, and after just a few sessions and following his plan, it’s like the problem never existed. He communicates really clearly, listens well, and always remembers the little details about our dog and past lessons. He’s also super available whenever I have questions. I’m so impressed with the results and would highly recommend him to anyone feeling stressed about their dog’s behaviour. He also addressed other little habits I didn’t notice before or raised with him. I would really recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable trainer with real results!!"

"Had a fantastic experience with Philippa from Bark Busters. Everything was explained in an easy to understand way and we could see the results with our two dogs immediately. She gave us all the right tools and techniques to continue our training at home so now it’s up to us to be consistent with it!"

"🐾 BARK BUSTERS MAGIC! 🐾 We had the best experience with Bark Busters Home Dog Training, and I just have to share it! From the moment I filled in their online form, the communication was amazing — quick, clear, and super friendly. Because a spot opened up, we even got booked in within the week! 🙌 When Glen arrived, our dogs wasted NO time showing him their usual “talent”… aka loud, chaotic front‑door greetings. 😂 But honestly, Glen worked magic from the second he walked in. He reset the energy in our home instantly and showed us how to take the lead in a way the dogs understood straight away. The best part? ✨ Training was done at home (so convenient!) ✨ NO treats, no shock devices, no gadgets — just simple, calm communication ✨ He taught us how to show the dogs what we expect ✨ Our “family pack” hierarchy finally made sense ✨ And the results… were JAW‑DROPPING from day one 🤯🐶 We learned so much, Glen was fantastic to work with, and the dogs responded better than we ever imagined. I 100% recommend Bark Busters to anyone with dogs — honestly the only downside is that I wish we had called them sooner! ❤️🐾 #BarkBusters #DogTraining #WorthEverySecond #HappyPups #DogParents #GameChanger"
