Good day,

We're Alana and Marco your local Ottawa Bark Buster Trainers. We became Bark Busters after being clients and seeing first hand how successful the system is.

We’ll show you how to train your dog to become the pet you always wanted.

The training is done in your home, with your schedule in mind,
tailored to your personal needs.

Most issues we experience with our pets stem from two things:

  • Miscommunication
    Your pet does not understand what you want from them.
  • Lack of Leadership
    Your pet does not see you as a leader and simply does not respect you enough to follow your leadership.

We would be happy to show you how to communicate with your pet and display the leadership needed so that you can improve any issues you have with your dog.

Our services come with a "Written Lifetime Guarantee" which means we'll come back as often as it takes to fix old or new issues for the rest of your dog's life.

Review: The initial assessment was clear, concise and fully geared towards what we want out of our dog. Our trainer took the time to develop a good understanding and picture of our dog and our relationship with her. It didn't feel rushed, it was very positive, and we never felt blamed or judged.

Review: Our dog is so much happier since we started with BB. He "got it" right away, and now he's teaching us how to help him. We can't believe the difference after one visit. Thanks, Alana, from us and from Scooter.
