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.

Who doesn't love a Beagle's doe-like eyes, happy and easy-going nature, their cute, floppy ears? As a member of the hound family, they live to use their nose and love to eat! They are excellent as scent detection dogs at airports and can search out weapons, drugs, and illegal food items with ease. O...

"Very impressed with Ric, had Poppet under control as soon as he walked in the door. Very intense first session and very knowledgeable about handling dogs. Walking was a huge struggle with constant pulling if other dogs/people around, one session with Ric and walking is actually a joy."

Judy

Trainer: Ric Kennedy

"We are very grateful for the help that Glen has given us. He has been very clear with us and gentle and respectful with our 7-month-old Labrador Retriever. The training he provided us is simple to apply but of course it requires consistency. After 4 days of receiving Glen we can already say that we see differences in our dog's behavior. We definitely recommend his services and can't wait to see Glen again in 3 weeks to evaluate the progress in Murphy's behavior with him. Needless to say, Glen's help was retraining for us, to be able to guide our dog in the best way. Glen not only motivates people but brings information in a simple way. It was worth every dollar. Thank you so much."

"Day one was most informative and Maureen was very patient and detailed in her delivery . Our dog Rex was handled with care and respect and he responded immediately to the strategies delivered."

"Can’t thank Martin enough! After just one session we have already seen a difference in our dog. Less barking, aggression and is loose lead walking on the lead. Would definatly recommend Bark Busters for your difficult or reactive dog"

Whitney

Trainer: Martin Blattman

"Our dachshund had become impossible to manage after I became pregnant and we had got a puppy —she wouldn’t listen to us at all, barked at everything and everyone, and began refusing to pee outside. I was overwhelmed and did not know what to do. After just one session with Bark Busters, I feel back in control, and Lola is calmer, quieter, and finally listening again. It’s been a complete turnaround, and I couldn’t be more grateful!"

Desley

Trainer: Michelle Howell

"The trainer Glen told me and my mother how to train two puppies at home. I will honestly say it has been a success at the moment but we had had a few issues but it is to be expected. Thank you once again and cannot wait for the second lesson."

Christopher

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"Can’t recommend the whole team at bark busters enough! We were lucky enough to have Maureen work with us and our dog and she was absolutely amazing in the way she was able to work with our border collie X kelpie! Since working with Maureen, our dog has been so much calmer and well-behaved, the results speak for themselves! ☺️"

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"Ric was great with Louie, whom on top of everything has minimal interaction with males. By the end of the session had him responding to all the instructions. In fact he responded to my instructions the next day. It took a bit longer but we are getting there. I am seeing a new dog."

Elca

Trainer: Ric Kennedy

"Philippa is amazing!! She makes everything simple and easy and genuinely cares about helping you and your dog. Cannot recommend her enough. Worth every cent!!"

Natanja

"The training was successful with my dog."
