Dog Trainer ACT, Shoalhaven & Eurobodalla – At-Home Dog Training Near Me
Stop Struggling with Your Dog's Behaviour TODAY - See Changes in Just ONE Session!
I'm Philippa Dakin, a professional dog trainer with over 25 years of industry experience who can teach you to "speak dog". As a master dog trainer with Bark Busters - the world's largest dog training organisation - I'm part of a global movement that has transformed over 1 million dogs from problem pooches to well behaved happy companions.
When local knowledge meets world-class expertise, your dog's behavioural challenges don't stand a chance.
Is Your Family Dog's behaviour causing you concern, worry or annoyance?
You love your dog, but let's be honest...
- Are walks becoming a constant battle with pulling, lunging, or reactivity?
- Does your home feel like it's been taken over by barking, jumping, or destructive behaviour?
- Have you tried treats, clickers, and YouTube videos only to feel like nothing works?
- Are you embarrassed to have guests over because of your dog's uncontrollable behaviour?
I understand your frustration. I've worked with many families in ACT, Eurobodalla, and Shoalhaven region who felt exactly the same way.
The Secret Most Dog Trainers Won't Tell You
Here's the truth: Traditional dog and puppy training methods often fail because they rely on teaching dogs to understand human language. But your dog doesn't think like a human – they think like a dog, crazy right?
That's why I don't just train dogs – I teach you to "speak dog".
As a qualified veterinary nurse, TAFE teacher, and expert dog trainer with over two decades of experience, Bark Busters has perfected dog and puppy training method that work with your dog's natural instincts. No treats. No harsh corrections. Just natural communication that your dog understands.
