Worlds largest dog training company launches search for Canadas naughtiest dog
Bark Busters prize includes a written lifetime guarantee on dogs new and improved behaviour
TORONTO, ON, June, 2009 Bark Busters, the worlds largest dog training company, announced today its search for Canadas Naughtiest Dog. The contest, which is set to run from now until August 1, 2009, is designed to dispel the myth that you cant 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.
Its unnecessary for dog owners to live with and be frustrated by their dogs poor behaviour, says Jeff Cooke, President, Bark Busters Canada. Bark Busters created this contest to show that you dont 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.
Canadas Naughtiest Dog contest has already received its first entry. Jennifer Shepherd from Milton, Ontario, uploaded a video of her Cocker Spaniel named Storm who wreaks torrential havoc on her home. Storm regularly growls, barks and disobeys orders and has left Jennifer and her roommates in desperate need of help and new nail polish, Storms favourite snack. Visit http://canadasnaughtiestdog.ca/entries#4687 to see Storm in action.
