Dog Training Adelaide North & West | Best Home Puppy Training
Welcome to Bark Busters Dog Training Adelaide North and West, my name is Ric Kennedy, your local dog behaviour therapist and trainer. I am dedicated to helping dogs reach their full potential and fostering stronger, more fulfilling relationships between pets and their owners. With years of experience in dog training and handling, both professionally and privately, I specialise in positive techniques that empower owners and create playful, rewarding learning experiences for dogs, using only positive, kind and dog friendly methods based on canine communication.
Building a Strong Bond Through Natural Canine Communication, Positive Reinforcement, Body Language and Leadership.
We all love our dogs, and I know they’re part of your family. We nurture them, provide great care, and ensure they have the best in life. So why not educate them equally, allowing them to thrive as valued members of the family.
By using these natural methods that align with a dog’s instincts and natural communication techniques dogs utilise, you can build a deep, lasting bond with your companion. Through personalised, positive training, combined with leadership, communication, and guidance, you can help your dog develop confidence and balance while enjoying a playful, engaging learning experience.
Understanding Your Dog’s Instincts for Better Behaviour
A common misconception is that our dogs understand human language fully. While they may pick up on cues and over time can learn key words, true communication relies on methods that reflect the way dogs naturally communicate, learn and interact within a family structure and this method of using their way of communicating works more effectively and is easy for both dog and owner to comprehend. Without proper guidance and leadership, dogs will behave instinctively, often leading to misunderstandings, frustration, and behavioural challenges.
My goal is to help you reach a deeper understanding of what makes your dog tick, how your dog thinks and why it is doing what it’s doing, to help you to clearly communicate in a way that your dog understands and will happily respond.
The Bark Busters system teaches you how to speak to your dog using effective communication methods that make sense to them. This approach helps to develop into a well-behaved and happy member of the family, allowing you to build a deeper connection and mutual understanding with your dog.
Looking for Dog Training Near Me?
My clients often tell me that the reason they chose me when searching for dog training near them was because what I was saying made so much sense and because they had tried several other methods that were either too complicated or only treat based.
Those whose dogs were not food focused were especially happy with the Bark Busters unique methods as they said it just makes so much sense and don’t rely on treats.
Any Dog, Any Age, Any Problem.
No matter what behavioural challenges you're facing - whether it’s barking at neighbours, barking up and down the fence, barking when your dog is left alone, separation anxiety, jumping up on guests, pulling on the lead, pulling them over, recall issues, refusing to come when at the park, aggression to other dogs or strangers, or other training concerns - I tailor each training program to suit your dog’s unique personality and needs.
Expecting a Newborn Baby?
Our pre-natal information sessions, which emulate real life occurrences, helps ensure you have a smooth transition when your new baby arrives home. We guide you in preparing your pet for new routines, sounds, and boundaries, reducing stress-related reactions. Early training fosters positive behaviours, reinforces leadership, and creates a calm, structured environment where your dog feels secure and included. With the right preparation, your dog can become a loving protector and a well-mannered part of your growing family, especially during the challenging, sleep-deprived, early days of welcoming a newborn baby into your home.
Home Puppy Training
For new puppy owners when bringing home a new puppy, I can help with settling in and offer puppy management services, helping you understand your puppy’s developmental stages, including mother and sibling influences, early education, and training techniques that establish a positive foundation for lifelong success and peace of mind.
I am Experienced in Training All Dog Breeds
I work with all breeds, including German Shepherds, Staffies, Dachshunds, various Oodle breeds, Cattle Dogs, Border Collies, Labradors, Bulldogs, Chihuahuas, Great Danes, Bullies, Cane Corso and Schnauzers, just to name a few!
