About Bark Busters

Bark Busters was founded in 1989 by Sylvia and Danny Wilson in Wollongong, Australia, 50 miles south of Sydney.

The Wilson's have extensive experience in obedience training and the behavioral science of dogs. Both have published several books, produced videos and have made numerous appearances on Australian national television, radio and in the print media.

Under the guidance of an experienced management team, Bark Busters expanded operations into the US market in June 2000. With an overwhelming response to the Bark Busters training system, the company was able to award all Colorado franchises in just 1 1/2 years. It has now also expanded into over 28 states with 90+ franchises and growing. Growth is planned across the entire USA within the next 5 years.

Currently, there are 160 franchises across 6 countries. They are located throughout Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Japan, Canada and here in the United States.

In 2002, Bark Busters won the AusIndustry Business of the Year Award, the Australian Post Management and Development Award, and the Small Business of the Year Award.

"What are The Top 5 Questions to Ask a Franchisor"

1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?

You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.

2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?

The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.

3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?

You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.

4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?

Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.

5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?

High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
