Bark Busters was founded in Australia in 1989 by Sylvia and Danny Wilson, both expert dog trainers. During her 10 years managing an RSPCA shelter, Sylvia would observe and analyze the behavior and communication methods of the hundreds of dogs that came into the shelter. Saddened that so many dogs were abandoned or euthanized for behavioral issues, Sylvia knew these problems stemmed from a lack of consistent leadership. She also knew that she could help resolve them. Thus the Bark Busters method was born. This highly effective method is based on unique, natural, dog-friendly training techniques, as described in Sylvia and Dannya??s numerous books including Training Dogs the Aussie Way, a practical guide for dog owners.
