Calling all Canadian dog owners!!  It’s the perfect time for you to show off your little canine terror!  Send in your video, or letter with a photo, and you and your dog could be chosen to win training sessions from Bark Busters that comes with a lifetime guarantee, a group training session for 1o of your dog’s friends, and grab the title of Canada’s Naughtiest Canine!

Bark Busters, the world’s largest dog training company, announced its search for Canada’s Naughtiest Dog. The contest, which is set to run from now until August 1, 2009, is designed to dispel the myth that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

According to Bark Busters, it is a myth that many naughty dog behaviours cannot be fixed. Bark Busters believes every dog, even older ones, can be trained and made part of a happy and tranquil home. In fact, of the 500,000 dogs Bark Busters has successfully trained world-wide, 80 per cent of them were past puppyhood.

“It’s unnecessary for dog owners to live with and be frustrated by their dog’s poor behaviour,” says Jeff Cooke, President, Bark Busters Canada. “Bark Busters created this contest to show that you don’t need to give up on your dog because even the naughtiest behaviours can be corrected.”

Chewing, pulling, barking or jumping – and more aggressive behaviour such as growling and biting – are problems Bark Busters can resolve in the home and owners will see dramatic improvements in just three hours.

How the Contest Works
