BARK BUSTERS
Bark Busters franchises enable owners to provide in-home or remote dog behavioral therapy, obedience training, bonding programs, and associated services to dog owners, including group obedience courses and puppy training at approved locations like veterinary clinics and pet stores. Franchisees also sell proprietary pet care products and educate customers on dog psychology, agility, scent discrimination, tracking, and trick training. The business model relies on licensing the Bark Busters trademarks and system to individual franchisees targeting residential pet owners seeking professional dog training solutions.
