Hi,

My name is Andrew Gawur and I’m the Bark Buster for Etobicoke. I’ve been making dogs and people’s lives better through Bark Busters now for over 5 years. I’ve visited over 1000 families and am an expert in helping alleviate your dog’s separation anxiety, aggression, jumping up, rushing to the door, nipping/chewing pulling on the lead and, of course, barking!

I have worked with hundreds of different breeds and sizes ranging from tea-cup Yorkies to Neapolitan Mastiffs. I currently have 4 dogs. April and Nigel are terriers , Scout is a Catahoula Leopard hound and Hannah is a Boxer.

I work with puppies as early as 8 weeks old and help lay the foundation for a good relationship for you and the new addition to your family. I also teach obedience, housetraining and work with socializing the younger dogs with other dogs in and outdoors. 

I have also been an advocate for dog’s rights many times. I have assisted clients with situations that have arisen with their condo management/landlords and in many cases, the City of Toronto.

Our methods are non-physical and non-treat based, effective and easy to use. I will help you open a line of communication with your dog that will last their lifetime and make your relationship so much more rewarding and fulfilling.

I look forward to working with you!

Andrew

Review: I owe you a huge thank you! I am seeing big improvements in Piper's behaviour, and she is even starting to relax when she is out in public. I am really proud of her and it is taking a really big stress off my shoulders. Many thanks once again.

Review: Hi Andrew. It was great working with you. Buddy has been wonderful. He has hardly barked at all, even when he is outside alone. We all have noticed a big change. He is a new dog! He has even been walking on the leash calmly and only needs to be reminded a few times per walk not to pull. My daughter...
