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.

"Was an absolute pleasure having Philippa come to our house to meet our male American Staffy, we instantly seen results, were shown proper leadership and how to pick up/take notice of behaviours and how to manage them. Would absolutely recommend her services, you won’t regret it!"

Trainer: Philippa Dakin

"Philippa came to help me with my 7 month old shetland sheepdog puppy, Pearl. I wanted the tools to train Pearl in a kind, consistent way, and Phillipa taught me how to use dog psychology to train Pearl. After the session, I had the tools to stop Pearl barking and to improve her recall and other puppy behaviour. I highly recommend Bark Busters and Philippa to get you on the right track with your dog."
