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.

"As Ric entered we could see the change in approach from the get go. Upon the first lesson on who's in charge we could immediately see a change in Daisy and then her excitement for wanting to learn. It's been a game changer so far and already seeing a happier and more respectful companion towards us. Would recommend 15 times out of 10!"

"I am so impressed by how simple the instructions are. It only took 1-2 hours for Martin to instruct myself and Mr Waffles on how we should communicate. Having people drop and going on walk have become enjoyable."

Trish

Trainer: Martin Blattman

"Ric was just what we needed! From the moment he stepped into our house we felt comfortable! Within 15 minutes he had our dogs under control with such a simple method and without treats! Ric gave us simple methods to regain control of the dogs and enjoy them ☺️would highly recommend Ric and Bark Busters ! Ric was super knowledgeable and gave our dogs and us training that has made our family and people visiting comfortable"

Trainer: Ric Kennedy

"We have now had 2 sessions with Ric. After only 1 session we had a brand new dog. We learnt so much that we were able to stop our dog jumping and we could walk her on the lead without being pulled over after only one session. We implement Ric’s training methods every day and we are now taking our dog out to kids sports and it’s not stressful ! Can’t wait to nail down the recall . I can highly recommend Ric!"

Jacqui

Trainer: Ric Kennedy

"Our first day of training our dog Primo was great! Solutions that we had not been able to control our dog in before became easier. In a moment of desperation for someone who could help us. Bark Busters was the best option! The fact that they do not train with rewards is amazing. It has only been a week and we can see huge changes in our beloved dog."

Trainer: Philippa Dakin

"Was very happy with the way Ric explained things, especially about how the past effects a rescue dog."

Cristine

Trainer: Ric Kennedy

"Wow what a change! Thank you so much Glen for teaching us. Thanks for your patience and humor. You made so easy for us to relax and enjoy the experience. Mello is so much more relaxed now. Thanks for explaining things so well and easy to follow exercises to do with our new family member Milo. I was very sceptical, but the results speak for themselves. I am sure Milo can’t wait to catch up with you again. We are looking forward to the park sessions with you to help us get better. Thanks again"

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"Honestly, Ric is my super hero! I had my first session today and I can already feel the relationship between my dog and I has improved! Ric made the whole process SO easy right from the get go. I am clear on all the steps and how to keep at them in the best way for my dogs behaviour, I was able to ask as many questions as I needed and Ric made me feel both comfortable and confident throughout the whole process. I cannot wait to see what the next few weeks hold and am so excited for the next lesson already! 😃"

Kayla

Trainer: Ric Kennedy

"Kristie was great. We have a young daughter so fitting in time was challenging, but she worked within our time frame. And even worked around our baby during the lesson. One of our fears was our dog would lose her sweetness/affection during this process. But Kristie was excellent at alleviating our fears, explaining all the techniques and she was a caring dog trainer/owner herself, which really showed."

Jason

Trainer: Kristie Toombs

"Glen was brilliant, fun and to the point. We all got a lot out of this session."
