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 was very good to deal with from start and he explained everything thoroughly on the phone prior to booking. On visiting our home for Joeys first session, Ric explained a lot of helpful information which we are working on and it is definitely improving our dogs behaviours. We would recommend Ric to family and friends as we are feeling a lot more confident with managing things now. Thank you Ric😊"

"Glen was amazing. So knowledgeable and really really good with Gidgey. She is still barking but nowhere near as much, and it is very early days. I suspect within a few weeks the barking will be absolutely minimal. Would highly recommend the Barkbusters people!"

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"Ric was amazing. Very knowledgeable and skilled. He taught Billie and us so much in one lesson, hence we are continuing on for the whole course. Such an easy way to get good results with no harsh treatment or feeding goodies all the time. So happy with his service. Now we practice what we have learned."

Trainer: Ric Kennedy

"We had exhausted all efforts to try and train dogs ! A dear friend suggested Bark Busters. We kept an open mind as we had trained work dogs! The first time Ric entered our house , there was an instant impact, as his training started right there and then! Within 15 minutes our three stubborn pugs were sitting and listening intently! Ric has a lovely strong but non aggressive nature and approach! Both my daughter and I felt instantly calm. Rick stayed for more than 4 hours showing us and guiding us how to correct our way of having a great relationship with our dogs! To have Rick only a phone call away for the entirety of our dogs life is super comforting. We both would highly recommend Rick for all your dog trainings"

Natasha

Trainer: Ric Kennedy

"Very encouraging training, clear and effective. Just need practice for this stage thank you"

Lindy

Trainer: Philippa Dakin

"Emma was aware of both our dogs needs and clearly explained and demonstrated the steps required to move towards achieving them. Her knowledge of dog behaviour was exceptional and her explanations made good sense. The introductory session was very informative and Emma left us with clear instructions and notes to assist us in continuing the training required. Emma’s excellent rapport with the dogs and us created a very non threatening environment to learn in. We highly recommend the service Emma and Bark Busters are providing us."
