Hello fellow dog lovers, my name is Tim Girouard and I am the Bark Buster for Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, Stratford, Brantford, Paris and surrounding areas
I am what you could call a dog lover. I now have4 dogs, a bichon frise named Danny Boy, a Boxer Shepherd cross named Duncan a beagle cross named McCabe (this is one of the drawbacks when you love dogs and you volunteer at the Humane Society) and the newest addition a bichon/poodle named Snoopy. McCabe was seized from his previous owner because of neglect and he now has his 'forever home' with us. I have had 6 others who are in doggie heaven four retired racing greyhounds, Teddy, Rosie, Cathy and Osh, a border collie / sheltie cross named Dusty and a black lab named Klio. I consider all of my dogs “rescues” as they all come from either the racing track, the humane society, families who cannot care for them or in the case of my bichon Danny Boy, the owner passed away. You can check them out on this page.
My love of dogs and my commitment to them made me excited to become a Bark Buster. I personally know and appreciate the love that a family dog or dogs can give back when they are a vital part of the family and they know their place. A well behaved dog is like having a well behaved child, they can bring much joy to a family. Unfortunately many owners don’t know how to achieve this with their dog.
We’ve all been there. Even with the best efforts and intentions, some dogs don’t respond that well to the traditional approaches. You may start to feel frustrated or helpless, but you don’t have to. This is where I can help , I guarantee it! With my skills, dedication, and commitment, I will work with you to solve the problems and create a wonderful and peaceful relationship with your dog
I am excited to help dogs and their owners make a great life together. It is because of my love of dogs that nothing brings me more happiness than to see a troubled owner / dog relationship resolved and both parties happy and excited about living the rest of their lives together. I will provide you with the tools and support that will give you many years of happiness and companionship with your dog. I know Bark Busters can do this so I invite anyone in my area to call or send an e-mail and I will be happy to come and show you what sheer joy with your pet can be. I invite you to read some testimonials from clients and read some case studies that show what can be achieved. I look forward to meeting and working with you.
