Our Commitment

A Bark Above was created from a belief that support should feel steady, informed, and deeply human. What began as a love for dogs grew into a commitment to doing this work with intention, integrity, and care at every step.

Our story has been shaped by years of expertise, continued education, and truly listening closely to both dogs and the people who love them. We have learned that behaviour is never isolated and is influenced by nervous systems, lived experience, environment, health, and the relationships built over time.

Stepping into A Bark Above means entering a space guided by thoughtful education, ethical decision making, and a deeply considered approach to training and behaviour. The standards we work to are reflected not only in recognised learning and professional acknowledgement at state and national levels, but in the everyday moments; in how dogs are treated, how questions are welcomed, and how trust is built within the relationships we form.

At its core, A Bark Above is guided by love for dogs as individuals, care for the people walking beside them, and commitment for the responsibility this work carries. Through clear guidance, ethical practice, and genuine connection, our focus reaches beyond today’s session or tomorrow’s goal. We are here to support meaningful change and help shape a kinder, more informed future for training and behaviour; one relationship, one dog, and one family at a time.
