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.

"Had kye from bark busters take Wyatt for just around a hour and the improvements already are incredible I will definitely be having kye back many more times if your looking for a respectful and friendly person to help with your dogs kye is the one to go to"

Jake

Trainer: Kye Morris

"I really cannot believe the difference in my dog! Suzi our gorgeous Am Staff was controlling and terrorising our house with her behavioural issues and we had no control over her what so ever. We had Kye and Bark Busters come out to help us and Suzi with their in home service which is incredibly helpful, we had so many doubts that Suzi just would not listen but I kid you not within the first 30 minutes of our lesson Suzi was already listening to me in a way she has never listened to me before, Bark Busters methods and how Kye explained everything is definitely professional and I with out a doubt recommend this to anyone who is having troubles with their dog!, I’m very much looking forward to Kye’s next visit to see our improvements and I love the fact that even if Suzi is naughty in the future I still can have Kye help me when needed as they have a Life guarantee! DEFINITELY the best decision I have made! thank you Kye and Bark Busters!"

Trainer: Kye Morris

"We really valued Kye’s explanation of the trainer theory and then clear and helpful demonstration with our dog Malt without our own backyard. He showed us we can train our dog and we have the tools and skills to have what it takes. We were amazed at Malts initial response but have since seen his regression as it’s only been a few days. Kye was very happy to follow up on phone to help when Malt began resisting the tools of the spray bottle. Kye is returning to work on the next area in the walking on lead/ pulling. For now we are persisting to train Malt daily using the techniques and skills provided and are hopeful he will change from being misbehaving/unsafe around our kids to obedient/safe and enjoyable. We look forward to see the continuing improvement in Malt as we approach our second lesson and continue to practice what we have learned daily. We are seeing gradual improvement each day in the behaviour of Malt. Thanks for giving us a fresh start with Malt as he really is a lovely dog and we can see how much pre we will be able to enjoy him after he trained."

"Extremely happy with immediate change in our dogs general behaviour"

Lyn

Trainer: Ric Kennedy

"Nothing less than immediate results with our boy. From the moment he stepped in the door Ric had our dog behaving so differently we were thoroughly confused as to why it had felt so hard to see change before. Highly recommend Bark Busters and Ric."

Zoe

Trainer: Ric Kennedy

"I am so grateful for the amazing help we received from Ric! He worked wonders with my puppy Cosmo. His approach was calm, clear, and effective. Cosmo has made incredible progress, and I have learnt so much. Ric not only provided me with the right tools and techniques but also took the time to answer all our questions and gave me the confidence to handle any situation. Cosmo is now more relaxed, and on the road to being well-behaved, and happier than ever! We can't recommend Ric enough. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and results-driven dog trainer, look no further! Thank you again and we are looking forward to our next Training Day. Dot & Dan."

Dorothy

Trainer: Ric Kennedy

"Laura was great! Very knowledgeable and Nacho & Cheese showed improvement in their behaviour after the first lesson. We’re looking forward to continuing the training. Thanks!"

Stephanie

Trainer: Laura Burton

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Glen to help with our dog and couldn't be more impressed. Glen shared valuable insight into understanding our dog and his behavior. When he first arrived, our dog was on the aggressive side not knowing a stranger in our house and Glen straight away showed us how to bring back control in the situation. Straight from the first session we could see the difference it made, and we were absolutely shocked. Our dog is already more obedient, responsive and calmer. We highly recommend Glen to anyone struggling with obedience or behavioral issues with their dog especially in a larger breed."

Ashliegh

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"Would highly recommend engaging Bark Busters for training and retraining! Have a 7 year old and 6 month old. Was totally out of control, having to separate them. Now we can have both dogs together in the house with no playing or conflict. OMG so good and not stressful either. We and the pooches are much happier 🤗😄"

Lynley

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"Ric explained everything in a very approachable and easy to understand way, and the techniques were easy enough to pick up! Even after 1 session its like we own a different dog! We still have a long way to go but we can already see so many positive changes!"
