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 to 2.5-hour session
- The Life Of Dog Support Guarantee means you’re never alone

How quickly will I see results?
Do you train all breeds and ages?
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.
