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.

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.

"Our dog has done a complete 360. From having to spend all day outside with him due to anxiety/separation issues, to being able to leave him alone is a miracle. The constant hand and feet biting are in the past, the pushing to try and get in the house are also gone. To put it in plain English he's a completely new dog. Glen was patient with him and you could see he loves dogs as much as the owners do. Even had my neighbour ask how it went with Bark Busters I had absolutely no hesitation in recommending Glen to them or anyone else for that matter. So if you need extra help with your four legged family member please give Glen from Bark Busters a call."

"This experience has changed our lives. I put off getting a dog trainer for years (7 years to be exact) because I didn't think it would work, I knew it was going to be expensive, and we don't have hours of time to be doing homework with our dogs. Eventually, the situation got to the point where we couldn't delay it any longer for the safety of everyone. We are so glad we found Glen. I can honestly say, we now have our house back. I feel that my children are safe around our dogs. We are finally the bosses of the house again. And yes - our dogs still love us and are not scared of us. In fact, the training has made our relationship better because we are not all so stressed out anymore! The best thing we have done for our dog."

"Glen was excellent dog responded well and gave me a better understanding on lead training Dougie is good at waking on the lead in the house and back yard but when he went to the park his old habits started again long way to go I guess but overall happy way it is going so far"

"Kye was incredibly understanding and explained everything so clearly. He really listened to my concerns and answered all my questions, and it was obvious he knew exactly what he was doing. My dog responded so well to his training from the very start. He also put together a really helpful training plan with plenty of tools and guidance, which I appreciated so much. I felt like he genuinely took my worries on board and gave me a proper program to work with. He’s also always been available whenever I needed anything. Overall, he’s been excellent, and I’m really looking forward to continuing more lessons with him. I’d definitely recommend him to friends or family."

"Kelly has been an absolute life saver for us. I had Kelly train our first dog almost a decade ago. Since getting another dog we have struggled with sibling rivalry and general misbehaviour in both dogs. Kelly has been so available and supportive well before our first lesson, during our first lesson and since then. She is so insightful and has taught my husband and I so much about the canine hierarchy that has been so beneficial for us. I particularly appreciate Kelly’s responsiveness when things have gotten tough. I would 100% recommend Kelly to anyone who is struggling with their dog. It has been life changing."

Jodie

Trainer: Kelly McClelland

"Ric is an outstanding trainer. In one session he completely transformed how our dog behaves on the lead, at the door, and around the house. He explains the psychology behind every step, gives clear instructions, and pushes you just enough to actually learn the technique properly. Our dog was calmer, more focused, and more relaxed than we’ve ever seen him. Ric’s approach is practical, fair, and genuinely effective. Highly recommend to anyone wanting real results and a trainer who truly knows his craft."

Trainer: Ric Kennedy

"Amazing result. Philippa was very calm and professional and we couldn’t be happier"

"Kelly was amazing. She has shared information I have never heard before. Her way of training works. Day 2 and Vodkha already listens to my command. I can already see Vodkha following through."

"Kye is a good teacher who was patient and thoughtful in his approach. The strategies we learned have been very helpful so far. We have felt empowered and optimistic about our abilities to continue training the dogs."

Paddy

Trainer: Todd Morris

"We are only two sessions in and we’ve already seen a huge improvement in Butter’s behaviour particularly around lead pulling. Understanding dog behaviour instead using treats has been a game changer. I highly recommend Callum’s service."
