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.

"We have 3 dogs and previously lived on a farm. Now that we're in suburbia the dogs have been quite stressed. Emma has provided us with a plan to combat their many issues and even after her first visit, the dogs are responding well. Emma was professional and friendly and explained everything very well. I would certainly recommend Emma and Bark Busters to anyone experiencing problems with training their dogs."

"Kye was great. He showed me some new techniques and I’ve seen a change in my dog already."

Trainer: Kye Morris

"Awesome introduction. Even after just one visit out dog is so much more relaxed. I have kept up the training and was expecting pushback from her with it being just us but she hasn’t pushed back at all."

"Michelle was amazing. I was very lost as to where to begin with our dogs. It was a difficult day due to the weather but she was able to clearly explain each step very well. I'm very excited for my next appointment."

"Ken had an immediate positive impact. His advice was clear and straightforward and has been effective. The follow-up was also a big boost. The main issue is for me the owner is to persist with what I have learnt, but both Tuzzi and I are improving"

Trainer: Ken Tran

"Kye was fantastic! We have had 1 session so far with our 12 week old puppy, and we saw change almost immediately. Kye taught us great techniques and strategies to help us manage our pup when the household is chaotic due to young children. Our puppy now is starting to listen to us by remaining on his bed when told so which has created a much more calmer household."

"It has been a week since Philippa visited our house to support with our two Smooth Fox Terriers Boomer (9) and Murphy (8) Our dogs have been reactive and stressed as of late. I became fearful during feeding time and having people over was extremely stressful as the dogs wouldn’t settle and were so over excited. The problems have been escalating with it only set to get worse. Philippa arrived and within 5minutes my dogs were settled and left her alone. We mostly worked on their barking/reactivity and recall. These things will help in all situations and will allow the dogs to see me once more as a confident pack leader. My confidence was shot but in the space of a week I see hope again. We even had a visitor and the dogs did not jump and left them alone. I almost cried with relief. I’m more confident in feeding times and I’m working consistently with recall. Philippa gave us clear instructions and worked with us and what we were capable of. She has been great with communication and I’m looking forward to her return. I’m so hopeful that with consistency I will finally get on top of the overwhelm and everyone else will see the sweet and loving boys we have known for years. Thank you Philippa for making such significant changes in such a short space of time. I have already been telling everyone I know how fantastic she is."

"Glen was immediately able to take control of my boisterous boy, Yogi. He definitely speaks the language of dogs and showed me some very valuable skills to help with training my dog that I had no idea about before our first session. I like the fact that he's always available to send a text regarding our training or any queries I've had along the way. After the first session we saw major improvement and an almost instant shift in how my dog responds to training and commands. If your dog was anything like mine (pulling on the lead, anxious etc) give bark busters a call. At the end of the day the training is still up to you but the resources, information and support is very much worth it. -Andy and Yogi"

"Laura was fantastic, she explained everything in a very easy to understand way and was very reassuring with her instructions, she was happy to work at mine and my dogs past. Looking forward to her follow up visit to show her our progress."

Lorraine

Trainer: Laura Burton

"Absolutely amazing. We’ve never had such easy walks and calmness when coming home from work. Glen was amazing with my Chikita, who is usually terrified of men, within 10 minutes of Glen being around her she was coming up to him for attention. Highly recommend!!"
