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.

"It was lovely to meet Glen. He is passionate and very knowledgeable. Bailey and I took a step in the right direction towards better communication with each other."

Isobelle

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"We had a great experience working with Martin to help our French bulldog overcome some challenging behaviors like fence running, walking difficulties, and car chasing. From the first session, Martin demonstrated an in-depth understanding of our dog’s temperament and tailored a training plan specifically for these issues. Fence running was one of our biggest concerns, but with Martin's guidance, we saw a noticeable reduction in this behavior after just a few sessions. His positive reinforcement techniques worked wonders in redirecting our dog’s attention and energy in a more constructive way. Walking had always been a bit of a struggle, especially with distractions like passing cars. Thanks to Martin, we now have a much calmer and more enjoyable walking routine. Our dog is more focused and responsive on the leash, and the car chasing issue, which we thought would be nearly impossible to fix, has dramatically improved. Martin not only helped correct these behaviors but also gave us the tools and confidence to continue reinforcing good habits on our own. I can’t recommend Martin highly enough! He truly transformed our walks and overall peace of mind."

"Emma was great. Her knowledge of how to fix problem areas was outstanding. The training methods were also simple and easy to understand. There's still plenty of work to do, but from the first meeting, I've seen great results so far."

Peter

Trainer: Emma Reeves

"Emma was awesome. I was truly amazed at how far max responded to the training. Within the first hour he was very responsive to the commands. Was money very well spent would recommend Emma to anyone who's dog has behavioural problems."

"We were so impressed with the Kia and the training methods we learned! Our first session with Kia was as much educational for us as it was training for our 5 month old lab puppy Molly, who has been a bit of a handful as she has gotten bigger. After working with Kia we felt we were finally given the tools to communicate with our pup in a way that she actually consistently responds to. It makes working with our pup every day really enjoyable and Molly seems to really enjoy the interaction as well."

"Ric was incredibly helpful with my Great Dane puppy (4 months old) - Zeus. He has already improved so much and is listening to my commands. He also gave me so much insight into his behaviours, allowing me to understand his reactions a lot more. Very happy with the progress so far & feel a lot more confident!"

"We enjoyed Laura’s visit very much. She helped us with lots of advice to help Isla and training which we will carry on with."

Anne

Trainer: Laura Burton

"By far one of the best training sessions we have had. We had Glen come over and instantly picked up on the things we were lacking to do with our 4 year old German shepard shadow. He showed us how to overcome her fairs of barking and lunging at car while on lead. We saw a huge difference in her just with a few hours of training and have been really happy with her after too."

Mike

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"We are very happy with the service so far, Rick has been very helpful and we have already seen improvement in Sam’s walking. Information was well presented and easy to follow and understand."

Steve

Trainer: Ric Kennedy

"Our dog Indy has responded well to Martin's training. Her progress in the first 2 weeks has been most pleasing. She has responded well to walking on leash. We are happy with how quickly Indy has mastered walking beside us calmly. Indy is also going well with gate control. Again it has not taken long for her to learn this with Martin's techniques. Recall is challenging and we continue to work on this aspect. Overall, we are most pleased with the Bark Busters methods. Martin has explained everything to us in an easy to understand manner and has been most helpful."
