ENGLEWOOD, Colorado - Dec. 11, 2007

SPCA International (www.spca.com) announced the selection of Bark Busters Home Dog Training as an inaugural winner of its Best of the Best award, designating Bark Busters dog behavioural training services the “best of the best” in its category. No other training company or dog trainer received such a distinction.

“This is a high honour for us,” says Liam Crowe, CEO of Bark Busters USA and master dog behavioural therapist. “It is a testament to our founders, Danny and Sylvia Wilson, and the highly effective and all-natural training system they developed. This award also speaks to the dedication of the hundreds of Bark Busters dog behavioral therapists around the world, who everyday make a difference in the lives of dogs and their human families.”

The Best of the Best award from SPCA International is designed to recognise products, services, and programs that represent high quality and exceptional value. Each company receiving the Best of the Best award was nominated and approved by SPCA International’s panel of animal experts.

“Since pet parents have many options for products and services designed for their animal companions, SPCA International has sought after and identified the ‘best of the best’ in multiple categories,” explains Stephanie Scroggs, SPCA’s director of communications. “We exercise great care in determining the Best of the Best award winners. To receive the SPCA International Best of the Best award and be listed on our website, an organisation must provide the highest quality product or service and unequivocal value to consumers. Bark Busters delivers that to its customers and their animal companions. SPCA International is pleased to support them 100 percent.”
