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.

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Glen from Bark Busters has changed our home life in less than a week! In 2 hours he explained the family dynamics of our life with our French Bulldog, Boo, and trained us how to train him. Glen has turned us from a family that was constantly in conflict in how to live with our furry family member, to everyone on the same page, especially our boy Boo! Before Glen, I had a love/hate relationship with our dog, believing he was badly behaved, constantly attacking me, and causing regular arguements with my wife. Glen explained dog behaviour, dominant/subservient signals, and a clear and detailed path to train our Boo in such a simple ,easy to understand way that sends clear directions to our dog. After using the Bark Busters principles for less than a week since Glen saw us, we have a new lease on life with our Boo. He is a responsive, well behaved dog who gets given clear signals from all his family. We have never gotten along better! Many thanks to Glen and Bark Busters for opening the door to a new harmonious family life with our dog!"
