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.

 

 

"Phillipa is an excellent trainer. She had my puppy tamed in no time."

Janiece
Trainer: Philippa Dakin

"Phillipa hit the ground running and got straight into showing us techniques to stop the dogs barking at visitors and made each step in our training easy to understand. Phillipa included my daughter and myself in the training so that we both felt confident with each activity. We could see a change in both dogs nearly straight away which was absolutely amazing!! I feel that even though a week has passed, the dogs are calmer and responding to the techniques we are using."

Rachael
Trainer: Philippa Dakin

"Philippa came to our home on a Sunday morning to help us with advice training our 6 year old, ex breeder, rescue Cavalier Ruby. We had been unsuccessful for over 12 months to stop her barking and understanding our commands. Philippa had Ruby understanding these issues very quickly and we have been able to continue this training ourselves with a little effort each day. We are amazed at her progress!!! Her anxiety also seems to have settled down somewhat too. We would definitely recommend Philippa and Bark Busters to anyone who needs help with their dogs. Worth every dollar we paid!!!"

"I really enjoyed the training, within an hour Max could walk on a leash. It was good to see how such little and simple behaviour changes that I make could affect the dogs so much. "

Kevin
Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"Thanks heaps Ric. It was great to get some understanding of some of Jax's behaviours and how to address them, especially as he is completely deaf . We have been doing our homework each day and he is going really well. I actually think he is enjoying the structure . We still have a ways to go but I feel more confident after having Ric working with us. I'm also glad to have had Ric work with Jax and establish that he's not actually aggressive, which we have worried was the case. I'm looking forward to our next session ."

Irene
Trainer: Ric Kennedy

"Absolutely fantastic! Cat was so great to deal with and gave us some incredible tools to help us with our 5 month old puppy. The results have been nothing short of amazing. Couldn't recommend her highly enough."

Danielle
Trainer: Catharina Jeffery

"Very impressed with our session with Glen! Lewis responded REALLY well to the training session. We are looking forward to spending some more time with him to refine his techniques."

Rhiannon
Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"Kelly was very insightful in helping us address our dogs behaviour! Her knowledge outside of just the training has been appreciated and we have seen a complete change in our dog."

"We cannot thank Glen enough for the incredible difference his training has made with our dog, Chop. At 55kg and full of energy, Chop was becoming unmanageable on walks or when visitors came to the house. We were at a loss for how to calm him down or feel in control. From the very first 10 minutes with Glen, we saw immediate results. His calm and confident approach, paired with simple and easy-to-follow techniques, made the training feel achievable even for us as first-time dog owners. Glen took the time to explain everything clearly and answered all our questions with genuine patience and support. We now have a much calmer, happier dog, and we feel more confident as owners too. We highly recommend Glen to anyone who feels overwhelmed or unsure about their dog’s behavior. His knowledge, kindness, and practical support have made a lasting impact on our lives and Chop’s."
