Brenda and Andy Ray

“Informed dog owners have happier dogs!”

Brenda and Andy have been Bark Busters trainers since 2006 and have helped over a thousand dogs and families share happier lives. Their success lies in training owners to train their dog. That’s the only way to ensure issues stay resolved and everyone stays happy for the long-term.  They are active in volunteering time to the OSPCA and local shelters. They regularly contribute articles to community newspapers and were guest speakers at All About Pets 2010 and Dogfest 2010.

As a child, Brenda loved animals and dogs in particular.  Her first success as a teenager was with her standard poodle, Peppy, who cleaned up at local performance shows. Growing up, Andy’s large family always included a much-loved family dog. After the two met and married, Chester, a happy little terrier cross, was soon welcomed into their young family. Growing up with pets has instilled affection for four-footed critters in both their children who, now grown, love having dogs of their own.

It’s fitting that this dog-loving, family oriented couple are now working closely with both in an important way.  “No one’s happy when a dog is misbehaving or disobedient—not the pet and certainly not that pet’s family,” Andy states.  “Much like kids, dogs require knowledgeable guidance to feel secure.  In the wild, dogs know their place in the pack and feel safely protected there.”

The couple, with degrees in Computer Science and Fluid Power Technology, chose work in related fields while raising their family and providing a loving home for the wonderful pets that have been part of their lives. “But now we’ve found a way to work with dogs every day in a purely positive way and at the same time, help families have happier, more fulfilling relationships with their dogs. It’s a win-win!”

“Bark Busters philosophy is an excellent fit for us,” Brenda goes on.  “Through their exceptional methodology, we’ve created a specialized program that amazingly, within minutes, transforms pets from seemingly incorrigible to cooperative and content. Whoever thinks you can’t teach an old dog new tricks hasn’t tried the Bark Busters way.”

The furry friend who is part of your life deserves Bark Busters capable care and gentle behaviour modification.  “Pets enrich our lives, are good for our health, give us another reason to get up in the morning,” says Andy, “and love us unconditionally.  Improving their well-being is a sound investment.”

Every dog has its day—let your dog’s begin with Bark Busters and The Rays!
