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.

"Ric was professional in following up on our enquiries and arrived on time for our first session. He explained things very clearly and was patient with our questions. Ric is obviousy passionate about dog training and this could be clearly seen in how he dealt with our dog on the day. We look forward to the remaining sessions as we are already seeing results with our Doberman. Thanks Ric!"

"Kristie has been absolutely wonderful to work with. Muffin improved within just a couple of days, which honestly surprised us in the best way. For our first session, she was on time, listened carefully to our concerns, and explained everything clearly. I was quite stressed about Muffin at the start, and Kristie was incredibly reassuring and supportive. That meant a lot to me. She’s also been very responsive to my messages, which makes the whole process feel smooth and well supported. We’re genuinely so happy with the progress and would highly recommend Kristie to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring trainer."

"Emma was an absolute pleasure to work with. She quickly understood Frankie’s challenges and gave me clear, practical guidance on how to correct and train him confidently. We’ve already seen such a positive difference."

Emma

Trainer: Emma Reeves

"One week ago we had a gorgeous but very excitable 8 mth old puppy, jumping, nipping, pulling on the leash, generally a bit of a challenge. Glen came along for a couple of hours and was greeted at the door by Rolo with some jumping, barking and nipping. By the time Glen left we had a much calmer puppy …. one week on we still have a gorgeous, loving puppy but he’s much calmer, no jumping, very little mouthing, no pulling on leash, no longer scared of the dump truck all in all a much more confident puppy and a very relieved mum and dad. Rolo is a joy to walk and we are no longer apprehensive when we have visitors! Still a work in progress but 100% easier. Thank you Glen"

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"Glen was really good and had Gigi walking beside me very quickly. I’ve since had several walks with her in the neighbourhood, and she is like a different dog using the new methods."

"Kia is incredible and Blue reacted amazing to her and her training. So helpful and encouraging and lovely to deal with."

Jasmine

"Maureen was awesome exactly what we were hoping for in a trainer"

Ben

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"Michelle was great — she explained everything clearly at our first meeting. We received a lot of valuable information, along with written “homework” to help us better understand the system, how to apply it, and the reasoning behind it. I highly recommend learning with Michelle and the Bark Busters system. I feel in good hands, and Sunny is in very good paws 🐾"
