Ken is an outstanding example of what Bark Busters can do! On each of his visits to my home, he arrived on time, notifying me of his arrival details. But it's his very respectful and personal nature that I appreciate the most. After all, dog training is really about training us - the owners! Ken followed up each session with a text, offering ongoing advice and support. We're only three lessons in, but my dog has already been very responsive to the changes. Thanks Ken!

Thank you for your kind comments Stacey. It was a pleasure serving you.

We had a puppy during COVID-19. It was our first dog. Our dog trainer Ken helped us from the beginning with Peanut, a very needy/stubborn miniature dachshund. Ken is always available and very professional. I highly recommend Bark Busters.

Thanks Lea. Peanut is a persistent little puppy but we will all get there together!

I would 100% recommend Ken to anyone having issues with their dog. He’s currently training both my chihuahua and Rottweiler and I’ve seen significant improvement in their behaviour. He’s given us tools and advice we can use for life and is always quick to respond if we have any issues.

Thanks Lisa. I really enjoyed working with your furry family.

We are so happy we got in touch with Ken to help us with our little Dachshunds.
He has shown us how we need to take back the control and help our puppies feel safe.
Our boys walk better, bark less and out of their pen!
Thankyou Ken for the help, worth every dollar!

Thanks Marlin. It was great to see your boys respond so well.

We have used Ken on two seperate occasions. Once with a new pup and once with our older dogs who had started to misbehave. We were concerned that our older dogs would be hard to retrain, but Ken had all the answers.

He is always responsive, and made himself available around our busy schedules. Couldn’t recommend him more to anyone - he made the process very easy and gave us some great tips for training them at home.

Ken checks on after our training sessions also. It was great to see he really puts his heart into it.

Thanks Micheal. Its always a pleasure to see you all. Also great to hear the dogs are responding well.

I recently moved to Sydney and decided to get in contact with Ken, as my Groodle was very acting out and quite unsure in his new surroundings. Ken offered great advice on how to help build my dogs confidence, as well as treat some of his misbehaviours. I would highly recommend Ken and Bark Busters.

Thanks Jordan. Great to see how well your dog can respond. Please let me know if you get stuck with any issues.

Ken has been amazing with our staffordshire terrier. He is really clear with instructions and consistently follows up to check how everything is progressing. The training techniques are really helpful and it’s great to know we can continue to call on Ken for help when needed. Highly recommended!

Thanks Saro. It was a joy helping you and your family with training Franklin.

Ken from Bark Busters is absolutely incredible when training our three dogs. He is a wonderful communicator both with us humans and our fury pets. He is calm, consistent and full of praise. It’s amazing how quickly he gets them to respond. I highly recommend Ken.

Thanks Jodi. It was lovely to see you all again. It was a joy to see your dogs still responding so well. Keep it up until they learn the new good habits youre after.

Ken was absolutely phenomenal in assisting training my dog. His patience with us and storm were extremely appreciated and his knowledge is unparalleled. Ken isn't the average dog trainer, he specialises in teaching the dog respect for the household and the people inside it with many approaches. Ken was a joy to work with and has taught us so much in only a few weeks. Ken has effectively helped us control our dog storm on walks and has educated us on how to manage her separation anxiety and aggression. I can honestly say making an investment into ken and bark busters was worth every cent and I would recommend him and the company for any issues you're having with your dog.

Thanks Matt. It was great to see Storm the American Staffy respond so well, she is such a sweet girl. With consistent training she will learn to be calm around other dogs.

As first time dog owners, we wanted the right start for our new Labrador puppy Bailey, and Ken showed us how to raise a well trained obedient puppy. Ken is a true professional and we highly recommend his services. Bailey is responding perfectly to the training and it’s making our lives a lot easier, especially since we also have 3 young children under 5 years of age.

Thanks Theano. Bailey is such a gorgeous puppy and he will surely grow to be a well behaved dog. Just remember if you encounter any problems I'm always here to help.

Ken was able to do a follow up lesson with one of our dogs in particular with his nuciance barking. Harley is severely anxious and has separation anxiety he has also been on a number of different medications for it. Ken went through our old training techniques with us and also showed us some new tricks. In a 20 minute session Harley completely stopped barking when the doorbell rang. These reaults make me hopeful that with persistent training and regaining my strong leadership that he will over time settle down and feel less anxious and hopefully reduce his medications in the long term. Ken has made it clear he is always available for follow up questions and training, I was unsure how true the Bark Busters Guarantee really was when i first joined years ago but Ken demonstrates that no member of the Bark Busters Club will ever be left without help. I would highly recommend Bark Busters and if you're in the sydney area Ken is a knowledgeable and understanding trainer always willing to help.

Thank you Rhiannon. It was my pleasure to help you your boys. With persistent and consistent training you will definitely teach Harley you're the pack leader which will make him feel a lot safer and help with his anxiety. I believe he should be able to come off his medication as he is responsive. Definitely let me know is he doesn't improve as I am more than happy to come out and work with you and Harley some more.

After 1 session Jellybean was walking better on her lead. While things are not perfect Ken has been patient with us with follow up sessions as we needed help with our training techniques. He was great with Jellybean and she responded to his training.

Thank you Julie. I look forward to seeing you guys again to perfect Jellybean's walking.

Ken was brilliant to work with. He asked many questions and provided us with the tools and understanding to effectively train Zelda. This worked. In one day Zelda was a new dog and she is getting even better day by day. Ken was extremely accommodating and managed to work with us over Video Call. We were recommended Bark busters from a family friend. I would highly recommend Ken to any new or experienced dog owner.

Thanks Nelson. It was a pleasure to help you out with training Zelda.

My dog is very timid and as a result was growling at everyone that came near me and even biting people. He was also trying to attack any dog that came near him out of fear. After one visit with Ken he has settled down so much within a day. I am truly impressed. He hasn’t growled at anyone or barked once since ken left. Max even slept outside my bedroom for the first time since we moved house.

Thanks Rebecca. Max just thought it was his job to protect you. Consistent leadership will teach him that you're in charge and it will make him feel much safer.

Ken was extremely helpful from the moment I was in contact with him. The first initial green light for me was just his genuine care about helping us with our rescue staffy Mia. He worked with us on a financial basis to ensure we could get the necessary training as soon as possible. Mia being a rescue puppy had a few behavioural issues and extreme separation anxiety which put a lot of pressure on us, however when Ken assisted us, it has been incredible to see her transformation and it has only been 2 weeks! ken is not just there to teach you on the scheduled dates, he has consistently given us tips and advice in between the sessions, it has been such a relief. Thank you Ken for your ongoing support, your techniques, tips and for genuinely caring about our Mia.

Thanks so much Romina and Anthony! I really enjoyed working with you guys and Mia a 6 month old staffy X. It makes my job rewarding when I can see dogs quality of life improve when they have genuinely loving owners like yourselves. Keep up the good work and remember I am only a phone call away if you have any questions.

We would highly recommend Ken from Bark Busters to anyone wanting dog training! Ken took the time to sit and discuss our challenges with our new French Bulldog puppy. Ken was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful and gave us great advice and demonstrations on how to address each situation. We cannot thank Ken enough for all his help!

Thank you Patricia. It was a joy helping you with training Gizmo. You're on the track to a very well behaved dog and remember if you encounter any problems along the way don't hesitate to call me.

I’m really happy with the outcome of Kens training. After 2 visits from Ken, we’ve noticed Kobe is a lot calmer and less stressed when leaving him in his own.

Thanks Ria for picking me as your trainer. Kobe the moodle just needed to see some leadership, he will be a lot calmer and happier with consistent training.

Ken is a professional and most effective dog trainer. He is quite effective at human training also. He saw the relationship between myself and Maverick and took immediate measures to restore the balance. He has an excellent disposition which makes him personable and has given me the right tools and guidance to train Maverick. It's not easy..but Ken is always available for support. Best decision I have made for the benefit of Maverick and I.

Thank you Faith. Maverick the Bull Arab X is a big beautiful boy. Adrenaline just takes over him real quick, but with a little bit more consistent training he will learn to be calm around other dogs.
