Old dog… new tricks

DO YOU have a naughty dog? If your furry friend digs, barks or runs away, Bark Busters wants to hear from you.
Dog owners are invited to send in a photo or video of their naughty pup and explain why their dog should be named the Sunshine Coast’s naughtiest dog.
Any dog can enter the contest and the winner will be chosen by a panel of experts to receive a package of prizes including a Bark Busters in-home lesson to transform your dog from naughty to nice.
Bark Busters owner and trainer Faith Wild said the contest is designed to show dog owners you can teach an old dog new tricks.
“We want to showcase, without using any food bribery or harsh methods, that you can train the Sunshine Coast’s naughtiest dog and have a bit of fun along the way,” she said.
To enter, send a photo or video along with a short description about your naughty pup to sunshinecoast@barkbusters.com.au.
