Top Ranking by Entrepreneur Magazine Showcases Success of Company’s Natural Dog-Training System

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., – March 8, 2007 – Bark Busters, the world’s largest dog-training company, is the top-ranked Pet Franchise in America in 2007, as designated by Entrepreneur magazine. The #1 ranking recognizes the effectiveness of Bark Busters’ natural training techniques, which can successfully train any dog at any age by leveraging the same communications methods – body language and voice control – that dogs follow as part of their instinctual pack mentality. The company’s top ranking is further confirmation of the large and growing business opportunity in the $40+ billion pet industry.

“It’s a high honor to be ranked as the best pet-services franchise in America by Entrepreneur magazine,” said Andrew Brooke, Bark Busters CEO. “This recognition as the ‘leader of the pack’ is a tribute to not only the success of our Australian dog-training system, but also the skill and dedication of our dog behavioral therapists, who everyday throughout the country are helping dog owners communicate better with their pets and more fully enjoy the human-canine bond.”

“I love what I do, helping others who are frustrated with their dog’s behavior,” explained Kathy Plourde, a Bark Busters Dog Behavioral Therapist in Denver, Colorado. “I get great satisfaction from seeing a happy dog owner who now has a well-behaved dog.”

In addition to ranking #1 in the pet category in 2007, Bark Busters has achieved the following rankings in Entrepreneur magazine since 2003:
