Bark Busters USA Awards Kurgo’s Pet Travel Products Its Seal of Approval

SALISBURY, MA. — Bark Busters Home Dog Training USA is thrilled to name Kurgo® a company of choice for travel-related pet products and award Kurgo the Bark Busters Seal of Approval. Bark Busters, the world’s largest dog training company with more than 500,000 dogs trained, is committed to dog-owner education, including recommending high-quality dog travel safety products.

“Traveling with your dog can be loads of fun, but it also brings added responsibility,” said Liam Crowe, Bark Busters USA CEO and master dog behavioral therapist. “Many dog owners are uninformed about potential dangers when traveling with four-legged passengers, and we support Kurgo’s mission to educate and inform so pets and owners can travel safely together.”

As more people than ever are traveling with their pets, there is a growing need for education on safety solutions while in the car or out of the house. In addition to using high-quality dog travel products, here are more tips from Bark Busters to help ensure a safe and pleasant journey:

Provide proper identification. Your dog should always wear an ID tag with your current contact information. A microchip (a permanent form of ID) gives an added layer of protection and increases the chances that your dog will be returned to you if he is lost or runs away.
Get training to help you understand your dog. Knowing your dog’s unique temperament and tendencies will help you to better control how he behaves, at home or when traveling. A well-behaved dog is less likely to upset people and other pets and will enjoy a better relationship with everyone he meets. Plus, his good manners will reflect positively on you, his responsible owner.
Restrain your dog. Keep your dog safe in the car by using a restraint, such as Kurgo’s Tru-Fit Smart Harness and Zip Line. Restraints help protect dogs in case of a collision and keep dogs from distracting drivers. Never let your dog ride free in the back of a pickup truck or allow him to hang his head out of the car window (a danger to his eyes).
Watch for temperature extremes. Never leave your dog in the car if it is extremely hot or cold outside. Just like humans, dogs can very quickly suffer from heat stroke or heat exhaustion. Your car is like an oven under the blazing sun and a freezer in the bitter cold.

“Bark Busters and Kurgo share a common mission to help dog owners keep their furry family members healthy, happy and safe by providing the highest quality products and services available,” said Gordie Spater, President of Kurgo. “We are honored to receive the Bark Busters Seal of Approval.”
