SPCA International Announces the Best of the Best Awards

SPCA International has had the privilege to work with Bark Busters USA since 2008. During this time, Bark Busters USA has volunteered to support SPCA International on a variety of initiatives, including the handling and training of the dogs in our Operation Baghdad Pups program. We’ve seen firsthand the care and skill of Bark Busters USA trainers, and most of all, we’ve seen the results their techniques deliver. Based on these results, we named Bark Busters USA as an inaugural winner of our Best of the Best award, which recognizes products, services, and programs that represent high quality and exceptional value. No other training company or dog trainer has received this distinction from SPCA International. Bark Busters USA has also been integral in supporting SPCA International to teach and foster good pet-parenting practices by providing expert content on a variety of topics. We are grateful to have Bark Busters USA on our team, working toward a common mission of improving the lives of animals, and helping make our programs, such as Operation Baghdad Pups, successful. SPCA International exercises great care in selecting its partners and is pleased to support Bark Busters USA 100 percent.
