Puppy & Dog Training Canberra, Nowra, Shoalhaven
Welcome to dog training Canberra, Nowra and Shoalhaven, I am Philippa Dakin, your local Bark Busters dog behaviour therapist and master dog trainer. Bark Busters is the world's largest and most successful dog training company started in the Shoalhaven over 34 years ago. We are now established in 6 countries around the world. Collectively at Bark Busters, we have helped over 1 million dogs to go on to lead happy fulfilled lives, as well-behaved members of their family pack.
I cannot remember any time in my life when I have not been involved with dogs and many other animals. I have worked professionally in the animal care industry for the last 25 years as a qualified equestrian coach, Veterinary Nurse, TAFE teacher, and dog behaviour specialist. I bring a wide spectrum of expertise and experience to Bark Busters and I have been working full-time as a behaviour therapist and trainer over the past 6 years.
I first came across Bark Buster in 2000 when a trainer came to help me and my family with our new family puppy and we never looked back. We were amazed and so happy to see the unique and natural methods of solving behaviour problems and my puppy ended up being a wonderful and very well-behaved family dog who stayed with us for the next 18 years!
We are the only dog training company in the world to offer a Life of the Dog Support Guarantee. This means you have ongoing help and support, free of charge, when further assistance is required at any time in your dog’s life. The support guarantee stays with your dog regardless of where they are located.
If you are looking for dog training near you then you have found the right place. I provide a unique In-Home Dog Training service at a time to suit you and I come to your home, which is where most of their bad behaviour occurs. The Bark Busters system is based on how dogs naturally communicate and leverages your dog's natural instinct, using voice tone and body language, without the need for treats or harsh physical methods. It is based on understanding, communication, and psychology.
It is extremely rewarding to work with people, families, and their dogs, to give owners the knowledge and skills to be good kind leaders for their dogs. I am results driven, providing solutions for all behavioural problems. I provide you with a personalised training plan to enable you to get the results and maintain them.
I also have a great puppy training program to help and support you throughout the puppy’s life. I help you to educate your puppy for a smooth transition into family life.
Canine Language is your Dog’s First Language.
Our unique training system is based on how dogs communicate and learn naturally as canines. It is a training programme that works effectively and quickly. People will experience many positive improvements even after the first lesson. We try to make our dogs act and communicate like us humans, but I teach you how to “SPEAK DOG” and see things from your dog’s perspective.
A dog from any country in the world can communicate with any other dog regardless of where they are from as they all speak dog, their universal language. Humans on the other hand speak many complex and sophisticated languages with copious amounts of words. This makes it difficult for dogs who try their best to understand us. They will learn to associate some sounds overtime, but this dramatically slows the learning process with many mixed messages. I can help you ‘unlock’ the communication between you and your dog and have you communicating with them effectively in no time.
