Mission
Bark Busters' mission is to promote clear and open communication between owners and their dogs using simple and effective training methods that appeal to the canine psyche.

Bark Busters home dog obedience training therapists use techniques to encourage the dog to use his brain and, at the same time, to satisfy the dog's need for pack leadership. In the wild, dogs have a pecking order determined by a dog's dominance within the group. Problem or disobedient dogs are the result of dogs perceiving themselves to be higher up the pecking order.

What we do
Bark Busters home dog obedience training therapists put owners back in control using non-physical, quick and easy methods that their pooches and puppies need.

Bark Busters home dog obedience training therapists come to your home where your dog is more relaxed and open to learning. We teach you how to train your dog through effective use of your voice tones and body language.

Bark Busters home dog obedience training was founded in 1989 and quickly spread worldwide. It has been operating in the US since June 2000 and now has offices in 37 US states and 7 countries with over 270 franchise locations worldwide.

Bark Busters therapists in the US and worldwide wish to help families enjoy their pets by providing dog behavioral therapy and dog obedience training using natural, holistic and humane techniques in the dog's home.

Bark Busters, the largest, most trusted, in-home dog training company in the world, was founded in 1989 by Sylvia and Danny Wilson in Wollongong, Australia, 50 miles south of Sydney.
