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.

"We were very pleased how much we achieved in our first lesson and the changes in Cruz"

"I cannot say enough positive things about Kelly. From the moment we met and she came to our home we felt reassured and knew we had made the right decision in joining BarkBusters. Kelly was so informative and caring, really listened and knew exactly what was needed to do in assisting us to train our cheeky toy poodle Rusty. :) We are excited for our next lessons and for the well trained dog I know Kelly will help us achieve. Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou......."

"Kye is honestly one of the best dog trainers I’ve worked with. My dog had resource guarding issues, and after just a few sessions and following his plan, it’s like the problem never existed. He communicates really clearly, listens well, and always remembers the little details about our dog and past lessons. He’s also super available whenever I have questions. I’m so impressed with the results and would highly recommend him to anyone feeling stressed about their dog’s behaviour. He also addressed other little habits I didn’t notice before or raised with him. I would really recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable trainer with real results!!"

"Had a fantastic experience with Philippa from Bark Busters. Everything was explained in an easy to understand way and we could see the results with our two dogs immediately. She gave us all the right tools and techniques to continue our training at home so now it’s up to us to be consistent with it!"

"🐾 BARK BUSTERS MAGIC! 🐾 We had the best experience with Bark Busters Home Dog Training, and I just have to share it! From the moment I filled in their online form, the communication was amazing — quick, clear, and super friendly. Because a spot opened up, we even got booked in within the week! 🙌 When Glen arrived, our dogs wasted NO time showing him their usual “talent”… aka loud, chaotic front‑door greetings. 😂 But honestly, Glen worked magic from the second he walked in. He reset the energy in our home instantly and showed us how to take the lead in a way the dogs understood straight away. The best part? ✨ Training was done at home (so convenient!) ✨ NO treats, no shock devices, no gadgets — just simple, calm communication ✨ He taught us how to show the dogs what we expect ✨ Our “family pack” hierarchy finally made sense ✨ And the results… were JAW‑DROPPING from day one 🤯🐶 We learned so much, Glen was fantastic to work with, and the dogs responded better than we ever imagined. I 100% recommend Bark Busters to anyone with dogs — honestly the only downside is that I wish we had called them sooner! ❤️🐾 #BarkBusters #DogTraining #WorthEverySecond #HappyPups #DogParents #GameChanger"

Hanri

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"I was unable to be at the first training lesson due to work commitments, my wife was very skeptical about the training as we have had experts before but with minimal results, after the first lesson my wife rang me and was over the moon with the results she had seen in the first couple of hours with Emma's tuition and with the ongoing lessons felt confident we could get control of our headstrong puppy"

Craig

Trainer: Emma Reeves

"We can’t thank Martin enough for the incredible transformation we’ve seen in just a few days. Before we started training, Ollie’s behaviour when visitors came to our home was overwhelming — he would become overexcited, jump up constantly, and struggle to settle. Walks were just as challenging, as he pulled relentlessly on the lead, turning what should have been enjoyable outings into stressful experiences. Thanks to the knowledge and guidance we received, Ollie has made remarkable progress in a small amount of time. He is calm and shows self-control, when anyone comes to the door. Ollie is also showing progress with our walking training in the backyard. The training methods Martin provided were clear, practical, and tailored specifically to Ollie’s needs. We felt supported every step of the way and learned so much about how to communicate with him effectively. We’re so grateful for the positive impact this has had on our daily life. I would highly recommend this trainer to anyone struggling with similar issues."

Trainer: Martin Blattman

"Thank you Emma for showing me how to communicate with my dog. Now that I know how to express what I want, he is less confused, more relaxed and me too!"

Cecile

Trainer: Emma Reeves

"From the very first lesson, Kelly was able to explain some of the reasons for the issues we were having, with appropriate training routines to suit provided immediately. We have been following her instructions with very good results. From anxious barking dogs to a calmer home and greatly reduced barking. Looking forward to our next lessons now! Thank you!!"
