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.

"Great session with Kath, very informative and easy to understand. We have noticed a difference already using some simple techniques shown to us. Looking forward to the next session."

Bane

Trainer: Kath Gnech

"Awesome service that suited us. One on one in home was great as the whole family could undertake training. Also, reduced the stress of being in an unfamiliar environment with a new dog."

Amanda

Trainer: Catharina Jeffery

"Highly recommend, the communication has been great and informative and Kye has already helped us so much with training our puppy and is always friendly and very knowledgeable"

Shauny

Trainer: Todd Morris

"Ric was amazing in helping us prepare our dog for the arrival of our new born. He was attentive and passionate about helping us train our dog to be more receptive on walks, around the house, and to transition our boy into sleeping in a different area of the house. We are so excited about the progress we have made with just a few sessions and thankful to Ric for his help through the journey. Could not recommend him highly enough."

George

Trainer: Ric Kennedy

"Ken was great, our cavoodle's behaviour and responsiveness immediately improved! Highly recommend!"

Adam

Trainer: Ken Tran

"Catharina did an amazing job explaining and showing how to correctly train our border collie, from the moment she began we could see instant results"

Calvin

Trainer: Catharina Jeffery

"Excellent experience for us and our beautiful little Springer pup Lulu. Kath - dog whisperer - is informative, patient, thorough and kind. We learned so much and are seeing results so quickly by implementing the techniques we have been taught. Kath made the training fun whilst also getting the real outcomes to ensure Lulu is set up for success with her recall and reliability as she gets older. Kath has also lifted my confidence by giving us a clear training plan and as I see the results, esp. with foundational recall, it lifts both my and Lulu's confidence and takes away some of the worry!"

Nadia

Trainer: Kath Gnech

"OMG if I'd known it was this easy I would've had Kath come out sooner. My stubborn ShihTzu with a mind of her own, is now realising I'm a big girl and can look after myself not the other way round. We may have a ways to go but the first lesson and my girl impressed me. Kath's approach and the simplicity to which she explains the training process has made me realise I shouldn't have been stressing about failing dog training. I would recommend Bark Busters and Kath to anyone that wants to listen cause that's all you have to do for you and your pooch to have a less stress free world."

Kris

Trainer: Kath Gnech

"After just the first session rockets anxiety is incredibly better. I couldn’t put him outside and leave without him absolutely losing it. Putting him to bed of a night time he would cry. I’m now able to leave the house again without him absolutely losing it and crying. I can’t wait to see the dog he becomes in the next few months as he’s already shown so much progress I can’t believe it."

Georgja

Trainer: Kelly McClelland

"After adding a second fur baby (2 yo Frenchie) to our family (7 yo Pug) we have been having a few issues with our Frenchie trying to establish dominance and becoming reactive towards our Pug. Having tried what we could think of with little/no success, we got in contact with Todd from Bark Busters. The business & training style suited us perfectly, with Todd arriving for an appointment within a few days. After just the initial appointment we have seen huge improvements with both of our dogs, our Frenchie really understood what was being taught to him and picked up the correction fast. I really appreciate the help from Bark Busters and would highly recommend anyone considering training to get in touch."
