New South Wales, Australia – August 25, 2026 – Bark Busters Australia has reached a significant milestone, surpassing 1,800 Google reviews across its Australian trainer profiles with an outstanding average rating of 4.95 stars, reinforcing the organisation’s position as one of Australia’s most trusted and reputable names in professional dog training.

The milestone represents thousands of Australian dog owners who have taken the time to share their experiences with Bark Busters trainers, with overwhelmingly positive feedback highlighting the knowledge, professionalism and practical results delivered by trainers in homes across the country.

For Bark Busters, the achievement is particularly significant because its reputation is built at a local level. Rather than relying on a single central training facility, Bark Busters trainers work directly with families in their own homes, addressing behavioural issues where they actually occur.

A Reputation Built Across Australia

Bark Busters currently has local trainers operating across six Australian states, with trainers collectively bringing more than 100 years of dog training experience to Australian families. The organisation’s local trainer network includes experienced professionals working across metropolitan and regional areas, helping dog owners with everything from basic puppy training and obedience through to more complex behavioural problems.

Queensland

Queensland’s Bark Busters team includes Michelle Howell, Kelly McClelland, Kia Parke and Kath Gnech, with trainers covering areas including Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Townsville and Wide Bay-Burnett. Bark Busters also provides remote training support in areas where a local trainer is not currently available.

New South Wales

In New South Wales, Bark Busters trainers include Philippa Dakin, Martin Blattman, Laura Burton, Kristie Toombs, Ken Tran, Todd Morris and Kye Morris. The NSW network provides personalised training across Sydney, the Central Coast, Newcastle, the Blue Mountains, Illawarra, Shoalhaven and surrounding regions.

Victoria

Stefanie Budiman services Melbourne North and West, with services focused on personalised, in-home training and behavioural support. Stefanie has extensive experience helping owners deal with everyday obedience problems as well as more challenging behavioural issues.

South Australia

In South Australia, Ric Kennedy provides Bark Busters’ personalised dog training and behavioural services, helping owners better understand their dogs and address unwanted behaviours through practical, one-on-one training.

Western Australia

In Western Australia, Bark Busters is represented by Catharina Jeffery, Emma Reeves, Glen & Maureen Guelfi and Cliff Weichelt, providing in-home dog training across Perth, Mandurah, Rockingham, Peel and the South West. The WA team works with dogs of all ages and breeds, helping owners address issues including barking, anxiety, aggression, pulling on the lead, jumping and general obedience.

Tasmania

Bark Busters also provides support to Tasmanian dog owners, including remote dog training for areas where an in-person trainer is not currently available. The virtual service can address puppy training, obedience and behavioural issues including separation anxiety, aggression, excessive barking, lead pulling and recall.

Current Franchise Opportunities Available

Bark Busters is also inviting passionate dog lovers and entrepreneurs to join its established franchise network, with dog training business opportunities currently available across Australia. Established territories are currently available in locations including Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, the Central Coast, Central Queensland, Geelong, the Gold Coast, Hobart, Melbourne, Newcastle, Northern Tasmania, the Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba, while a new territory opportunity is also available in Darwin.

Franchisees receive comprehensive training, ongoing support and access to Bark Busters’ global network of more than 300 trainers across six countries, with the proven mobile business model allowing trainers to work with dogs and their owners in their own homes without the need for a training facility.

Training Where it Matters Most

One of the key differences between Bark Busters and traditional group-based dog training is that trainers come to the owner’s home.

That means the trainer can see the dog in its normal environment, understand the household dynamics and identify the circumstances that are contributing to unwanted behaviour. Training can then be tailored to the individual dog, the owner and the environment in which they live.

Bark Busters works with any dog, any age and any issue, from puppies that need a good start through to older dogs experiencing behavioural problems. Common issues include barking, aggression, anxiety, separation anxiety, jumping, pulling on the lead, recall problems and a range of other unwanted behaviours.

Rather than simply teaching a dog a collection of commands, Bark Busters focuses on helping owners understand how their dog communicates and on providing practical techniques they can use every day.

Backed by the Life of the Dog Guarantee

Bark Busters’ confidence in its approach is backed by its unique Life of the Dog Guarantee, providing ongoing support throughout the dog’s life.

Unlike traditional dog training services where the relationship can end after a set number of sessions, Bark Busters provides continued support if new behavioural issues develop or previously resolved problems return. The initial training fee covers follow-up support, giving owners the reassurance that they have an experienced dog training professional they can turn to throughout the life of their dog.

1,800 Reviews & Counting

For Bark Busters Australia, reaching 1,800 Google reviews is more than a milestone. It represents the experiences of thousands of Australian dog owners who have trusted the organisation to help improve their relationship with their dogs.

With an average Google rating of 4.95 stars, the result provides a powerful indication of the consistency of the Bark Busters experience across its Australian trainer network.

“We’re incredibly proud to reach 1,800 Google reviews with a 4.95-star average,” said Todd Morris.

“Every review represents a real dog, a real family and a real experience with one of our trainers. That’s what makes this milestone so meaningful. We’re not simply collecting reviews, we’re helping people enjoy living with their dogs.”

With a proven training system, experienced local trainers, in-home training and ongoing support for the life of the dog, Bark Busters continues to set a high standard for professional dog training in Australia.
