Hi, my name is Annette and I am your Bark Busters Dog Behaviour Therapist/Trainer for New Brunswick. Our primary coverage area includes Greater Fredericton, Oromocto and Saint John.

I originally hail from the East Coast of Newfoundland. Dogs have always been a major focal point in my life and it is this passion that has drawn me to Bark Busters. My husband and my own pack members consist of our Newfies Able & Isthmus and our foster dog, Redford.

In the beginning we, like so many others, struggled to understand the dynamics of our human/dog relationships. We researched, investigated, read and experimented with various training techniques with minimal results. It was not until we found the Bark Buster method that we began to communicate effectively with our canine companions.

I understand the all too familiar feelings people have towards their misbehaving dogs – anger, embarrassment and frustration. Don’t worry you are not alone. As your Bark Buster Behavioural Therapist& Trainer I will work with you to solve the issues you are experiencing with your dog in the comfort of your own home. I will assess your personal situation and custom tailor your training to address the issues most important to you based upon the temperament and needs of your dog. Our proven system will re-train your dogs and turn them into happy, settled family pets.

At Bark Busters we believe in our method so strongly that we offer a Written Guarantee for the Life of your Dog. I will return, to work with you if any of the old problems come back or if new behavioural issues arise. You will have peace of mind knowing that you have a training partner for the life of your dog.

We welcome the challenge - Any dog • Any age • Any problem

Bark Busters’ worldwide mission is to solve canine behaviour issues that can lead to maltreatment, abandonment or euthanasia of dogs. We strive to help humans understand behaviour issues from the dog’s perspective, using our expertise in dog psychology and canine communication. Through this better understanding of our canine companions, we are able to solve the problems and reduce the stress on the dogs and on ourselves. This makes all our lives better. This natural system of training has given me the opportunity to help others become part of a solution for people and their beloved pets.

Review: I was delighted when a friend who always works my girls into a frenzy arrived and witnessed Meghan sitting calmly on the stairs waiting to be welcomed. She never moved until told to do so. I totally support this way of learning, as it is me you have to teach not the dogs. They already know how the...
