Become a Bark Buster!
Are you looking to start working for yourself and become a small business owner?
Do you love working with people and have an affinity for dogs?
If you answer yes to both questions, we'd love to help you learn more about becoming a Bark Busters dog training franchise owner. Our home-based dog training franchise model lets you own a dog training franchise that serves families in your community.
If you’re exploring how to start a dog training business, we’ll walk you through the training, support, and timeline so you can make an informed decision. And just so you know—a Bark Busters franchise isn’t a passive investment. You’ll be both the business owner and the dog trainer. If you’re ready for both, we’d love to connect and explore the opportunity together.
The first step is to register online. Provide more information below about your interest in Bark Busters, including the cities/states where you’d like to own and operate a franchise. This helps us review dog training franchise availability for your preferred area.
Once we have your information, our team will evaluate available opportunities and contact you to share next steps.
Browse our locations, to find a list of all the established Bark Busters franchises.
This website is not a franchise offering. A franchise offering can be made by us only in a state if we are first registered, excluded, exempted or otherwise qualified to offer franchises in that state, and only if we provide you with an appropriate franchise disclosure document. Follow-up or individualized responses to you that involve either effecting or attempting to effect the sale of a franchise will be made only if we are first in compliance with state registration requirements, or are covered by an applicable state exclusion or exemption.

That experience inspired me to become a Bark Busters trainer so I could help families understand their dogs and create calmer, happier homes.” - Mariah Vogeley, Bark Busters Southern New Hampshire
