Wil Lawson

Behaviour Therapist & Grand Master Trainer

I have been with Bark Busters since 2008 and have helped over 3000 dogs and their families. My focus centers on increasing the mutual trust and respect between dogs and their humans and also helping dogs to feel safe in their everyday environments. As every dog and home is unique, I make sure to balance the dog’s personality with the needs of the family.

What I love about my job

Witnessing clients become empowered and self-sufficient through our teachings and tools is incredible. You can literally see the stress evaporate for both the dogs and their humans. It’s an amazing privilege to be in a position to help people achieve their goals for their dog.

Why I became a trainer

Simply put…to help. Dogs confuse people. People confuse dogs. Both need help. I understand how dogs think and communicate. I also know how daily interactions will either elevate their trust and respect or compromise it. I enjoy teaching, sharing and supporting people and their dogs to improve their bonds with better behaviour.

My areas of expertise include:

  • Puppy training
  • Separation anxiety in dogs
  • Stopping excessive barking
  • Dog aggression and aggression toward humans
  • Leash training, including leash pulling
  • Stopping dogs from jumping on people
  • Food aggression in dogs and resource guarding
  • Reactive dog training
  • General obedience training
  • And more...
