Our Vision
Bark Busters' vision is a world with a Bark Busters therapist in every neighborhood to help every dog caregiver understand and apply the Bark Busters principles of canine communication so that every dog is well trained, safe, and loved.
Our Mission
As a world leader in dog training, Bark Busters' mission is to promote clear communications between owners and their dogs, using simple, effective, and natural training methods that appeal to the canine psyche. Through the professionalism and commitment of our network of dog behavioral therapists, we will work to enhance the human-canine bond and to reduce the possibility of maltreatment, abandonment and euthanasia of companion dogs.
Franchise Opportunity Overview
Bark Busters, the world’s largest dog training company, is the undisputed leader of the pack in the pet services industry. The unique concept originated in Australia in 1989, the brainchild of world-renowned grand master dog trainers, Sylvia & Danny Wilson.
Named “Best of the Best” by the SPCA International (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, a leading animal protection organization.), Bark Busters has been proven successful worldwide. The techniques have been used to train more dogs in more countries than any other training method—over 400,000 dogs worldwide.
This dynamic international company has over 400 franchisees operating in 11 countries and 42 states. The U.S. market is explosive! In just four short years, the number of Bark Busters U.S. franchises grew from 0 to over 250. The company is well positioned to fulfill its goal of over 750 locations in the U.S.
This remarkable growth offers a tremendous opportunity for you, both now and in the future. The demand for high quality pet services is expected to continue its rise. That means there is great potential for your business—and profits—to expand year after year.
AWARDS AND RECOGNITION FOR BARK BUSTERS

SPCA International (www.SPCA.com) announced the selection of Bark Busters Home Dog Training as an inaugural winner of its Best of the Best award, designating Bark Busters dog behavioral training services the “best of the best” in its category. No other training company or dog trainer received such a distinction.
“This is a high honor for us,” says Liam Crowe, CEO of Bark Busters USA and master dog behavioral therapist. “It is a testament to our founders, Danny and Sylvia Wilson, and the highly effective and all-natural training system they developed. This award also speaks to the dedication of the hundreds of Bark Busters dog behavioral therapists around the world, who every day make a difference in the lives of dogs and their human families.

“It’s a high honor to be ranked as the best pet service franchise in America by Entrepreneur magazine,” said Liam Crowe, Bark Busters CEO. “This recognition as the ‘leader of the pack’ is a tribute to not only the success of our Australian dog-training system, but also the skill and dedication of our dog behavioral therapists, who every day throughout the country are helping dog owners communicate better with their pets and more fully enjoy the human-canine bond.”
