Meet Kelly Gould
Since joining Bark Busters in 2018, I’ve transformed close to 1,000 dogs and families. As a Grand Master Trainer and Behaviour Therapist, I bring a unique perspective shaped by my background in psychology and education. My expertise in understanding human behaviour and learning patterns translates perfectly into helping families reach their goals and build great lives with their dogs. My passion for learning and teaching drives my commitment to empowering both people and their canine companions.
After my King Shepherd Charlie became fearful and anxious following the loss of her canine sibling Dakota, I experienced firsthand how uncertainty can shake a dog’s confidence. When Charlie’s fear caused her to run from everyday triggers, I turned to Bark Busters and discovered the transformative power of strong, calm leadership. While witnessing Charlie’s world turn around, I found my calling. As a certified Behaviour Therapist and Trainer, I specialize in helping people become the confident leaders their dogs need, whilst teaching families to truly understand their dog’s behaviour and build bonds based on trust and security.
My mission is simple: help dog owners understand their canine companions so they can enjoy relaxed, happy dogs.
Nothing makes me feel better than seeing a stressed-out dog relax or a stressed-out human have hope. There is a thrill in watching dogs learn and start to figure out what we want from them. Training enriches lives, improves bonds, and helps us enjoy our dogs more.
Did you know that each Bark Busters trainer & certified behaviour therapist is required to pass an aggressive dog safety program that keeps hundreds of trainers safe worldwide. All trainers are required to understand different types of dog aggression, fear and trauma, and know how to approach each situation calmly and safely. You are always in good hands with Bark Busters!

We Understand How Heartbreaking
Separation Anxiety Can Be
You love your dog, but their separation anxiety is affecting your entire household:
- Your dog howls, barks, or cries non-stop the moment you leave – and your neighbours have started complaining
- You come home to destroyed furniture, scratched doors, or chewed-up belongings
- Your dog has injured themselves trying to escape crates, rooms, or windows
- You can’t even go to the bathroom without your dog panicking and following you
- You feel guilty leaving the house and have started rearranging your life around your dog’s anxiety
You’re not alone. Separation anxiety is treatable – and we can help.
Why Our Approach Works Where Others Fail:
- In-home training addresses anxiety where it actually happens
- No punishment, no physical force – we address the root cause
- Communication-based techniques that create lasting change
- You learn to read and redirect your dog’s triggers
- Visible improvement often in the first 2-2.5 hour session
- Lifetime Support Guarantee – you always have the help you need from Bark Busters.

Separation Anxiety Training FAQs
How much does training cost?
We offer a one-time fee that includes your initial assessment, dog training sessions, and lifetime support. Pricing depends on your specific needs. Call 519-999-7581 for a free quote, or book a consultation to discuss your situation.
How quickly will I see results?
Most clients see noticeable improvement during the first session. As Mabel shared, “I’ve never seen Comet so calm and well behaved” after just one session. Long term habits take consistency, don’t forget! We schedule follow up appointments to suit your dog’s needs, and help you! Your lifetime guarantee means you always have the support you need.
Do you train all breeds and ages?
What causes separation anxiety in dogs?
Separation anxiety can develop from changes in routine, moving to a new home, being rehomed or adopted, a change in family dynamics, or simply a lack of confidence. Some breeds are more prone to it. Regardless of the cause, our communication-based approach helps your dog build the confidence and independence they need to feel safe when you leave.
Why in-home training instead of group classes?
What does "lifetime support" really mean?
Will medication fix my dog's separation anxiety?
Medication alone rarely resolves separation anxiety. While a veterinarian may recommend medication for severe cases, training is essential to address the underlying behaviour. Bark Busters teaches your dog new coping skills and builds their confidence, which creates lasting change rather than masking symptoms.
How long are training sessions?
The initial session is typically 2-2.5 hours. This gives us time to assess your dog, teach you effective techniques, and start seeing results immediately. Follow-up sessions are typically an hour.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Windsor, Chatham-Kent, Leamington, Amherstburg, LaSalle, and surrounding areas.
