Our dog friendly training is
simple, natural and 'FAST'

Our methods focus on creating a positive relationship between you and your dog to improve your dog's behaviour and obedience. Our expertise is in understanding how a dog naturally thinks, learns and communicates and then using this to show you how to be your dog’s leader. Once this relationship is established, behaviour change is a natural next step. Our techniques work with any age, any breed, any issue. You and your dog get one-on-one attention, an individualised plan to suit your family AND guaranteed support for the life of your dog.

"Very happy with the training"

Rufina

Trainer: Ken Tran

"Catharina was absolutely fantastic! I noticed an immediate change with my pup, he is now starting to build great habits with the simple plan she has provided. She was happy to work around our schedule which was a massive help. Always happy to answer any questions you have even after the training. It has been a great experience so far!"

Soraya

Trainer: Catharina Jeffery

"Has absolutely changed our dog! We weren’t enjoying Max at all. He was destructive and was extremely pull on the lead. From the first session Cat explained everything SO clearly to us. Gave us the exact homework to do until her next visit. On Cats return for the next visit Max is a changed dog. We are really clear on what we need to do and Cat's skills have been next level. We have referred to many friends. We now enjoy our dog!"

Shelby

Trainer: Catharina Jeffery

"After we've been tearing our hair out for 7 months trying to find solutions for our dominant and hyperactive 10-month-old Groodle's behaviour, Kelly had results within 10 minutes of walking in the door, calming our girl down in no time. Kelly explained her approach clearly, before moving to work through the various strategies and exercises to apply with our pooch each day. It was like we had a different dog two hours later and, while she's still testing the boundaries a few days later, there has been a significant breakthrough in how calm she is and, when she does become excited, how quickly we can cause her to come down, all with some simple and effective strategies provided by Kelly. It's also so good to know that we can call Kelly at any time (which I did the next day to clarify a few things) and that it isn't a one-off session. We look forward to continuing to understand how best to work with our girl for everyone's benefit!"

Shawn

Trainer: Ric Kennedy

"5 Star Rating Where do I start well firstly a big thank you to Maureen. As soon as you walked through our front door, I felt we were onto a winner. Chloe our lovely Shih-Tzu puppy was beginning to rule the house, we were finding it hard with several problems including barking, separation, plus other issues that I had not noticed. Maureen, you were an angel. I knew before you came that part of the problem was myself which was a problem easily solved once explained in plain English. Chloe is a work in progress, but she is returning so much love to us. I’m so grateful for your help Maureen and the follow-ups you keep making I am so glad our Vets recommended you, we can have a great family relationship with our beautiful Chloe thanks to you. My experience with Bark Busters was nothing short of remarkable. As a dog owner seeking effective training methods, I turned to them, and I’m thrilled I did. Their approach is not only effective but also compassionate. Our darling little Chloe companion responded positively, and the transformation was impressive. I wholeheartedly recommend Bark Busters to anyone looking to build a stronger bond with their four-legged friend.”"

Mal

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"We were so pleased to have found Bark Busters. We were struggling with our 18 month old Sha Pei X, always pulling on lead,reactive to other dogs and people, jumping up, barking etc. After only 3 hours with Glen we have a different dog. What a vast improvement in Max and 4 days later am able to walk him, past people and other dogs with little or no reaction. Did not think this would have been possible in this short amount of time. Highly recommended."

Sylvia

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"Rik was amazing. He went through everything and listened whenever we had any questions. He explained the benefits in a very detailed way. Turbo took to the training right away!"

Paulina

Trainer: Ric Kennedy

Tristan

Trainer: Ken Tran

"Buddy’s behaviour has shown improvement in the 10 days since we started Barkbusters. We are happy that he is barking and jumping less"
