Meet Ron Baruch – Canberra's Most Qualified Dog Behaviourist
With 40 years of hands-on experience working with over 10,000 dogs across Canberra and the Snowy Monaro Region, Ron brings unparalleled expertise to every training session. Unlike most trainers, Ron holds advanced academic qualifications in animal behaviour science:
- BeSt – Bachelor of Science in Companion Animal Behaviour, Reproduction Technology and Wildlife Science
- MRes – Master of Research in Wildlife Animal Behaviour Science
- MSc – Master of Science in Applied Ethology and Animal Biology
Ron uses natural, holistic, and force-free training methods based on how dogs naturally learn and communicate. His approach focuses on teaching both you and your dog, creating lasting results through understanding, trust, and respect, not fear or punishment.
Unlike trainers who rely on outdated dominance theory or aversive tools (shock collars, prong collars, alpha rolls), Ron's methods are backed by modern animal behaviour science and deliver results that last a lifetime.

We found Ron to be extremely competent and knowledgeable. Our dog responded to him immediately. He is a real expert in his field and we really appreciate his insight into dog behaviour and training. This was a far more in depth experience than we expected.
