Meet Lisa Burke
I’ve transformed hundreds of dogs and families through my commitment to building stronger human-canine relationships. As a Behaviour Therapist and Trainer, I bring a unique perspective shaped by nearly three decades in the live theatre industry, where I developed great skills in understanding human dynamics and communication. Coming from a lifelong love of working with dogs, I recognized my true calling and made the bold decision to dedicate my career to helping families and their dogs live better together.
After years of observing the power of connection and communication in the theatre world, I became determined to help families remove the barriers that negative behaviour creates. Committed to identifying the needs of both dogs and their humans, I specialize in finding balance and harmony in relationships that have become strained or disconnected. As a certified Behaviour Therapist and Trainer, I focus on transforming relationships so families can enjoy the love, trust, and stability their dogs deserve.
My mission is simple: help dog owners understand their canine companions so they can enjoy relaxed, happy dogs.
Removing the barriers that negative behaviour can cause in the relationship between dogs and their families fulfills me. I want to ensure that dogs fit in and stay where they belong, in stable, loving homes with the people who care for them, full of love and trust.
Did you know that each Bark Busters trainer & certified behaviour therapist is required to pass an aggressive dog safety program that keeps hundreds of trainers safe worldwide. All trainers are required to understand different types of dog aggression, fear and trauma, and know how to approach each situation calmly and safely. You are always in good hands with Bark Busters!

We Understand How Scary
Dog Aggression Can Be
You love your dog, but their aggression is affecting your entire family:
- You’re afraid your dog might bite a visitor, a child, or another dog
- Walks have become impossible – your dog lunges, barks, and pulls toward every dog or person
- You can’t have guests over because your dog growls, snaps, or shows teeth
- Mealtimes are tense because your dog guards food bowls, toys, or sleeping spots
- You’ve been told your dog is “too aggressive” for group classes or daycare
You’re not alone. Aggression is treatable – and we can help.
Why Our Approach Works Where Others Fail:
- In-home training addresses aggression where it actually happens
- No punishment, no physical force – this makes aggression worse
- Communication-based techniques that create lasting change
- You learn to read and redirect your dog’s triggers
- Visible improvement often in the first 2-2.5 hour session
- Lifetime Support Guarantee – you always have the help you need from Bark Busters.

Dog Aggression Training FAQs
How much does training cost?
We offer a one-time fee that includes your initial assessment, dog training sessions, and lifetime support. Pricing depends on your specific needs. Call 604-484-1941 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. As Mabel shared, “I’ve never seen Comet so calm and well behaved” after just one 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?
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?
What does "lifetime support" really mean?
Do I need special equipment like bark collars?
We do not use any form of shock collar during aggressive dog training. The Bark Busters Niagara dog trainer will assess and advise you on what your specific dog will need. You do not need to go buy anything ahead of time.
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. Follow-up sessions are typically an hour.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Niagara, Surrey, Delta, New Westminster, Langley, East Niagara, Kitsilano, Shaughnessy, Ladner, Tsawwassen, White Rock, Abbotsford, and surrounding Lower Mainland areas.
