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.

"Ric you are our life saver - as you know our vet advised to put Murphy to sleep due to his neurological behaviour - after two long sessions with you - you instilled confidence in Us and Murphy that he is a great dog albeit special at times - you were patient with us and assertive with Murphy and at the end of the sessions Murphy absolutely loved you - you gave us the confidence with crucial dog language to communicate with him better - Murphy was annoying all our neighbours - he’s was pacing the house constantly following his tail for hours but after only two visits and clear instructions we have the makings of a great dog - thank you thank you - I’m sure this isn’t the end of our journey with you - you’re truly BRILLIANT thank your from us all"

Trainer: Ric Kennedy

"Wow what a difference within 5 minutes of meeting Ric our dogs were already responding to Ric’s training. We found his explanations of how the program works along with the practical exercises really helpful and we could see instance results. Looking forward to continuing this training journey with Ric."

Janet

Trainer: Ric Kennedy

"Only 4 days later and Sammy is already showing big improvements in her door manners and in not jumping up. Early days but confident we can get there now and having an on call support service is so good."

Jennifer

Trainer: Philippa Dakin

"I was very apprehensive about having a male trainer come to the house as our dog Franki has in the past been known to not like males very much. When Glen arrived she did as suspected and barked and growled but as he got to training her I noticed a huge difference and she was listening to him and wasn't too scared of him. The commands that Glen taught me are clearly working with her as I am doing the training with her. I honestly thought our dog was broken but she just needed some clear firm guidance. Thanks Glen I am so thankful for what you have taught our girl and us."

Bec

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"Glen came to us and explained everything in simple terms to us regarding the training methods to use for Shaddow and within 24 hours Shaddow is a different dog. She no longer barks constantly when someone is at the door and is very well behaved when on the lead. We would highly recommend Glen and Bark Busters for the training of your dog, young or old. Shadow is a 3 year old Kelpi/Staffy/Rotti rescue dog."

Sue & Dave

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"I was shocked on how Glen actually got Rocky to listen without any treats. We couldn't believe that was our dog. The children were never able to go outside and play with Rocky until the training session with Glen, our dog was a totally different dog. Sue did say you'll be surprised with what Glen can do in the first 10min of the session, I didn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes. Glen is awesome and so is the information and training he provides. Looking forward to more training sessions with Glen. Thank you so much."

Dee

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"Glen knows his stuff. He quickly identified some areas for improvement and guided us through how to do these. We are in good hands; I feel confident we will see a steady improvement in our dog by using these simple techniques – which make perfect sense once we understood the way our dog sees us and the hierarchy in the house!"

Deb

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"As soon as Glen walked in the door - he let Bindi know who was boss !. Glen was very clear in his reasonings for the different ways we could work towards changing Bindi's behaviour and demonstrating the exercises on our training schedule. He raised the topic of diet and we have taken his recommendations on board and one week in we have noticed a change in Bindi's demeanour . We are still working through the training schedules some are easier than others to manage and we will be contacting Glen for some follow up advise."

RODNEY

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"We have had two sessions now with Ken and he has been absolutely excellent. He has an amazing rapport with Henry who responds totally to Ken and does everything asked of him. We are still learning to try to copy Ken's techniques with Henry but I know it is up to us practising on a regular basis as to how successful we are. However, with Ken's help I am sure we will get there. I can't rate Ken highly enough as a trainer."

Wendy

Trainer: Ken Tran

"Laura was absolutely wonderful in listening to my concerns as well as Havarti's. The training was thorough but fun and it felt judgment free! We would highly recommend Laura."
