📣Exciting things are happening here at Bark Busters. After 13 years helping dogs and their families across the Sudbury and North Bay areas, Ashley Kutschke is retiring from dog training.

We’re thrilled to welcome Lori Johnston, who will be taking over the reins! Lori brings a wealth of experience in the pet industry — she’s worked as a veterinary assistant, rescue volunteer, foster, and trusted sitter.

During this time of transition, we appreciate your patience — there may be a brief delay in service as Lori gets settled. She’ll begin supporting new and existing clients starting November 20, 2025.

Ashley would like to extend her heartfelt thanks for your trust, loyalty, and support over the years. It has been an absolute privilege to be part of your journey with your dogs.

Stay tuned — Lori will be introducing herself here soon! 🐾

Extra time with your dog can be the best part of working from home! However, it can also be frustrating if they don't give you uninterrupted time to yourself.

Since dogs don't understand full English sentences, and humans are prone to giving our dogs mixed messages, it's important to learn clear and efficient communication skills. That way, your dog can understand the boundaries you have set, and you won't accidentally reinforce the interruptions you don't want!
