Meet Wil Lawson

Since 2008, I’ve transformed over 3,500 dogs and families across my service area. As a Grand Master Trainer and Behaviour Therapist, I’m proud to be one of the most experienced and trusted dog trainers in my region. With a deep understanding of canine communication and behaviour, I recognized early that dogs and people often struggle to understand each other, and I made the commitment to bridge that gap.

After years of observing how daily interactions shape the trust and respect between dogs and their families, I became determined to help both thrive together. I specialize in increasing mutual trust and respect while helping dogs feel safe in their everyday environments. As a certified Behaviour Therapist and Trainer, I focus on balancing each dog’s unique personality with the family’s needs, ensuring every solution is tailored to create lasting harmony in the home.

My mission is simple: help dog owners understand their canine companions so they can enjoy relaxed, happy dogs.

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.

We Understand How Frustrating
Dog Behaviour Problems Can Be

Your dog means everything to you. Yet their behaviour is taking a toll.

  • The chaos in your home never stops.
  • Visitors have started making excuses to stay away.
  • You’ve invested in classes, tried different tools and methods—but nothing changes.
  • The endless barking drains your patience.
  • The aggressive outbursts leave you feeling unsafe.
  • Watching them panic when you leave is heartbreaking.
  • This cycle is unsustainable. But it doesn’t have to stay this way.

Why Our Approach Works Where Others Fail:

  • In-home dog training addresses real-world behaviours
  • No punishment-based methods
  • Tools and techniques designed to work long-term, not just mask the problem
  • We train you, not just your dog
  • Results often visible in the first 2–2.5-hour session
  • We offer lifetime support, which means you’re never alone

Mississauga Dog Owners Just Like You Are Finally Enjoying Well-Behaved Dogs

“Our experience with Wil has been nothing short of delightful. He has helped us learn how to interact with our dog, leading to a relationship that I have long wanted but have been unable to establish because of his exuberance. Wil’s patience in navigating challenging situations is much appreciated, as is his sense of humour!”

— Lynn Anstead, Mississauga

“We can’t say enough good things about Bark Busters and specifically Wil. We started with Wil just over three weeks ago, and the difference in our girls is astonishing. Wil has supported us from day one and communicates with us regularly if we have concerns or need guidance. From his initial phone conversation to his house visit and check-ins, Wil has been amazing. His communication, education, and guidance are always thoughtful, kind, and clear, and we LOVE working with him. We recommend him to anyone who needs help. Thank you so much, Wil!!”

— Laura Thompson, Mississauga

FAQs

How much does training cost?

We offer a one-time fee that includes your initial assessment, training sessions, and lifetime support. Pricing depends on your specific needs. Call 416-843-6445 for a free quote, or book a consultation to discuss your situation.

How quickly will I see results?

Most clients see noticeable improvement during the first session. Long-term habits take consistency, don’t forget! We schedule follow-up appointments to suit your dog’s needs and help you! Your lifetime guarantee means you always have the support you need.

Do you train all breeds and ages?

Yes! We’ve successfully trained puppies to senior dogs and all breeds. No dog is too old or too stubborn to learn.

What if my dog is aggressive? Is training safe?

Aggression is one of our specialties. Each Bark Busters trainer is trained on our unique “Stand Rite No Bite” system, and must pass a test to make sure they know how to safely approach aggressive situations. We use safe, effective communication techniques, and coach the humans on how to address the root cause of aggression to create lasting change.

Why in-home training instead of group classes?

Dogs behave differently at home, where they’re most comfortable and where problems actually occur. In-home training addresses the exact behaviours causing you stress, in the exact setting where they happen.

What does "lifetime support" really mean?

You can call us anytime – weeks, months, or years later – for advice or follow-up sessions. There’s no time limit. We’re here for the life of your dog.

Do I need special equipment like bark collars?

We do not use any form of shock collar. Your trainer will assess and advise you on what your specific dog will need. You do not need to buy anything in advance.

How long are training sessions?

The initial session is typically 2-2.5 hours. This gives us time to assess your dog, teach you effective techniques, and start seeing results immediately. The follow-up sessions are typically an hour.
