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.

"Extremely happy with immediate change in our dogs general behaviour"

Lyn

Trainer: Ric Kennedy

"Laura was great! Very knowledgeable and Nacho & Cheese showed improvement in their behaviour after the first lesson. We’re looking forward to continuing the training. Thanks!"

Stephanie

Trainer: Laura Burton

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Glen to help with our dog and couldn't be more impressed. Glen shared valuable insight into understanding our dog and his behavior. When he first arrived, our dog was on the aggressive side not knowing a stranger in our house and Glen straight away showed us how to bring back control in the situation. Straight from the first session we could see the difference it made, and we were absolutely shocked. Our dog is already more obedient, responsive and calmer. We highly recommend Glen to anyone struggling with obedience or behavioral issues with their dog especially in a larger breed."

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"Would highly recommend engaging Bark Busters for training and retraining! Have a 7 year old and 6 month old. Was totally out of control, having to separate them. Now we can have both dogs together in the house with no playing or conflict. OMG so good and not stressful either. We and the pooches are much happier 🤗😄"

Lynley

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"Ric explained everything in a very approachable and easy to understand way, and the techniques were easy enough to pick up! Even after 1 session its like we own a different dog! We still have a long way to go but we can already see so many positive changes!"

Charlotte

Trainer: Ric Kennedy

"Martin’s training with our 2 young (15 month old and 7 month old) schnauzers has been so informative and reassuring. Martin has taught us that we can be better owners for our dogs and have happier dogs with training and obedience. Working through trust with them but being firm and rewarding the correct behaviour through body language and commands. We know that is down to us to implement all the techniques we go over with Martin and it is through consistency and persistence that we will see the desired results each day. It is a journey but definitely one worth it considering the love we have for our dogs and wanting to create the best life for all of us."

Elle

Trainer: Martin Blattman

"We have gone through 3 previous dog trainers and anxiety medication to try assist with behavioral issues without success. After the first lesson which went for 3 hours it’s been an instant change in our dog for the better. We rarely have behavioural issues, we can put her in her crate without her barking constantly, we can now have guests over and she remains calm. I can’t recommend it enough"

Jackie

Trainer: Philippa Dakin

"Whole process was easy, from first enquirey, all questions answered, then Glen came out for the first lesson, spent time with us and understanding the problems, then showed us the info and explained his process, we then went outside, dodging the rain, and went through the first training stage, had an immediate effect, we are onto day 4 now, both dogs now sit at the front door and wait to go out, previously would both just rush and bowl us over, lead walking is now so relaxed, they walk at our pace beside us, cannot wait to continue our education with Glen."

Brian

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"I was having great difficulty to just put a collar on my 18 week great dane and constant nibbing my arms First session was really hard to watch my boy was not happy but Glen was so patient and offered me a great deal of recurrence 3 days post session and our world is fantastic no more teeth in my hands and arms still training on lead but going well Thank you so much Glen Moose and I are much happier"

Tracey

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"Amazing how much my dogs changed during the first session. It shocked me! They actually listened to me. SO GOOD"

Does your dog act like two completely different animals depending on whether you're home or away? You’re not alone.
