Bark Busters Canada

It's important to know how to make your own fun.

The COVID-19 numbers may be rising across the country, but our trainers are still able to get you the (distanced) help and support you need. In fact, our video lessons have been a huge success! ------- #DogTrainers #DogTrainer #DogTraining

When dogs try on their new boots for the first time.

If you live in an area that's been seeing a rise in Lyme-carrying blacklegged ticks, please make sure you are checking your pups (and yourselves!) when you get back inside from walks. Here is some excellent advice on prevention, and what to do if you find one!

Well who doesn't want a ladybug boop?

Last night of the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides auction! Bidding is open until 9pm EST/6pm PST tonight (Nov 16), and you'll be helping people with medical or physical disabilities across Canada.

Did... did a dog do this?

Does your dog approach their meal times like it's a race? Most times, the reason they do this isn't anything to worry about. However, it IS a good idea to get them to slow down. Here are some tactics you can try.

Have a lovely weekend everyone, and remember to take care of each other.

With November comes the PetSmart Charities US/Canada National Adoption Days. Adopting a pet is a big commitment and a responsibility--which is why you should never give a pet as a holiday gift! However, if you are currently ready to bring home a new furry family member, this is a good opportunity to do so. (And of course, your #DogTrainer will be available to help you. )

I know you've all heard the expression 'you can't teach an old dog new tricks,' but there is a reason we tell you we can help any dog, at any age, with any issue. If you are thinking of bringing a senior dog into your family, we would love to help them adjust. #DogTrainer

They can be fun to make, healthier for your dog, and could save you some money! Of course, even if you have a well-trained dog with good boundaries around the kitchen, there are some things to keep in mind while you whip up some treats for your pup.

A good momma, lucky puppies, and caring humans.

This is good news. This was far from the only scam on the go, though, so please continue to look for red flags while you are shopping for a new furry family member.

Not every dog is the correct fit to be a service dog.

Have a safe and happy Hallowe'en, everyone! Please be sure you store your candy where your ghosts can't get at it!

At Bark Busters, we love ALL pups: purebreds, crosses, mixes, and mutts but fraud like this is upsetting, and on the rise. If you are shopping for a new furry family member, please make sure you are dealing with a reputable breeder, shelter, or rescue organisation. It could spare you from everything from allergies, to vet bills, a critically-ill pup, heartbreak, and/or losing all sorts of money to fraudsters.

You already know what comfort your dog brings you when you are down. A funeral home is an excellent place for a resident therapy dog.

Dogs love routine, but they can't read clocks. Daylight Savings Time ends this coming weekend for most provinces, but the time to start adjusting your pup's schedule is now. If you are able ease them into your new schedule gradually over the week, it will cause them much less anxiety. (And, you know... probably you, too!) -... Photo by Angelina Litvin See more
