Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

We had our dog Milo trained at 7 months old, and the experience was nothing short of fantastic. Milo is a Kelpie, so he’s clever, energetic, and full of personality — and our trainer understood him straight away. The training methods were calm, clear, and incredibly effective. We saw huge improvements in Milo’s leash walking, barking, reactivity while on lead, and overall anxiety. Walks are now far more enjoyable and stress-free, and Milo is much more settled and confident. Not only did Milo make great progress, but we also gained valuable tools and confidence as owners. We’re so grateful for the patience, knowledge, and genuine care shown throughout the process. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a skilled, trustworthy, and compassionate dog trainer.

Was an absolute amazing experience to just get that extra sharpness in command response and start improving recall and hyper vigilance.

The training method makes perfect sense. Emma explained everything really well in a friendly and relatable manner.

We had Emma come to our house for training with our 12 month Buffy. She was great, warm and easy to take advice from. She tailored our training to suit our very busy life and allowed us to see how we can incorporate our training in day to day life. It was a very conformable and positive experience.

Emma was very knowledgeable, explained everything clearly & worked well with our 2 boys to feel confident in implementing the training. This is our first puppy so everything is new to us. We appreciate the time she spent with us. Thank you!

Emma was amazing. She has helped me change my two dogs from believing they needed to protect me by barking at everything and everyone who passed my property, to two chilled dogs. I know they are still a work in progress but I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. Simply changes in my behaviour which Emma explained so well gives me the tools to give my dogs a better quality of life.

Emma was brilliant at explaining everything and Shelby responded so well.

I cannot say enough good things about Emma. The techniques she taught us to handle our 8 month old Cane Corso x Rottweiler are absolutely amazing. We were taught the fundamentals that will allow our dog to finally reach her potential and not just be annoying towards everyone. After the first lesson we were able to use these techniques to stop our big puppy from being so hyper and jumping up on everyone. I was impressed by all the reviews so that’s why I chose Emma and I was not disappointed. She definitely delivered on what was promised. I can’t wait for our follow up appointment to learn some more techniques. Thanks Emma you are a life saver for our big pupper.

Willow did her first session with Emma from bark busters on the 16/09/2025. Emma was able to immediately identify behavioural issues with both Willow and myself and her training techniques were immediately effective and easy to follow. In the time since the first session Willows behaviour has dramatically changed in the household and on walks now being very positive experiences and I can’t recommend the amazing work that Emma does enough

Emma has completely changed our boys for the better! I knew what ever I was doing clearly wasn’t getting through to the boys and she gave some simple instructions and changes and finally my boys are listening to me and I can communicate what I want from them in a way they’ll understand! We have been practising loose leash walking every morning, and then consistently through out the day/evening I have been working on them politely entering inside the house, going through gates and doorways. We also haven’t had an accident of Ripp jumping up on the bench!! We are working on separation anxiety and the boys have taken on to it sooo well!

Mikey was already a great puppy, but I particularly struggled to have her attention when outside on walks, and whenever guests came over. Bark Busters gave me great tools, including the collar, which gave me back control. She responds super quickly, and I feel like she’s almost immediately turned into a calmer, happier dog, even just after a few days!

Our 5-year-old labrador, Bernie, has been anxious since he was a puppy. He’s loving and outgoing with people he knows and he’s relaxed in familiar spaces or outside when no strangers are around. But whenever we had visitors or went somewhere new, he’d be on high alert, visibly stressed and constantly scanning for “dangers.” It was as if he went deaf to us, no matter what we did to get his attention - he would be on high alert and stressed. Being a pandemic dog made things harder. He missed critical socialisation with other people and dogs, and his early interactions with other “pandemic dogs” weren’t great, which only made him more wary. We’d tried other trainers before, but they told us this was just his nature and we should limit his exposure. That didn’t sit right with us, because once Bernie feels comfortable he’s incredibly loving and loves people, dogs and exploring. And we’re social people, so we want our dog to share in our daily life. From the first session, Emma was amazing. She explained the root of his behaviour and walked us through the solution step by step, starting with theory and then showing us exactly what to do in practice. By the end of the session, Bernie was a different dog. He even lay down calmly while Emma was in the house, something he had never done with new visitors! We realised we simply hadn’t been communicating to him in a way that reassured him we had things under control. I’ve since been gradually introducing Bernie to new experiences, and I now also feel confident handling these situations. His stress and anxiety are at an all-time low, and he’s thriving!! I couldn’t recommend Emma more. Thank you for everything!! :)
