This contest is not open to residents of the Yukon, Northwest Territories, or Nunavut, or Quebec.

How to Win
Step one: GET VOTES and become a finalist
In order to have a chance to win, you need to encourage get as many people to vote for your entry as possible. The five entries with the highest number of votes in each of the four regions will be named regional finalists. You can do this by encouraging anyone to visit www.canadasnaughtiestdog.ca, find your entry and click the vote button.

Voting is open to anyone. In order to vote, you need to register /create a Strutta Account. Each person can only vote once for a specific entry. Users may vote for as many different videos as they choose. If Bark Busters discovers that an individual has voted more than once for the same entry, Bark Busters may disqualify some or all of that individual's votes in Bark Busters' sole discretion.

Voting will end on or around August 1, 2009 at 5pm Pacific time. The 5 submissions from each region with the most votes at the end of the voting period will each be selected as one of the 20 contest finalists. If a finalist submission in a particular activity category is disqualified or deemed ineligible by Bark Busters, that video will not be considered for a prize, and the finalists from that region will be the remaining submissions in that region, plus the submission in that region with the next-highest number of votes (e.g., if one of the top 5 submissions from a region is disqualified, then the sixth-highest submission from that region will become a finalist). Once all 25 finalists have been identified, Bark Busters will notify the finalists of their finalist status, and will post the 25 finalist submissions on the contest website (Bark Busters expects to do so on or around August 11, 2009).

Step 2: Be chosen by the Panel of Judges

The contest's judges will select the winners from the 20 finalist videos. The judges' decisions will be based on:
• the severity of the problem,
• the desperation of the dog owner,
• and the owner’s desire to change the dog’s behaviour.
• They will also consider the ability of behaviour related training to have a positive impact on the dog’s problems. For instance, if the dog’s naughty behaviour is related to a medical or physiological condition, that contestant may not be judged suitable to win.
Bark Busters will select the judges in its sole discretion
The judging will be completed by September 29, 2009. Decisions of the contest judges will be final and binding.

There will be one winner chosen from each of these geographic areas:
• British Columbia
• Prairies (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba)
• Ontario
• Atlantic Canada (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI, Newfoundland and Labrador).

From the pool of regional winners, the overall National winner of Canada’s Naughtiest Dog will be chosen.

Winners
The entrants of the winner in each region will be notified by email. In order for these finalists to be declared contest winners and be eligible for a prize, each finalist must have complied with, and remain in compliance with, these rules, and must sign and deliver to BARK BUSTERS (within five days of Bark Busters’ request) a standard declaration and release form (which will include a declaration of the finalists' compliance with these rules, an acceptance of the prize as awarded, a publicity release, a liability release, and the correct answer to a skill-testing question) and any other documentation that Bark Busters may require.

The grand prize winner will be selected by the judges from the 4 regional winners. The Grand prize winner will only receive the grand prize and will not be eligible to receive both the regional winner prize and the grand prize.

Bark Busters may request valid proof of identity, residency, age and other relevant documentation, and Bark Busters may disqualify a finalist if Bark Busters determines (in its sole discretion) that the provided proof is not sufficient.
If the prize notification is returned as undeliverable, or if a selected finalist does not comply with all of the above requirements within the above time frames, or does not otherwise comply with these rules, the finalist will be disqualified and the contest judges will select a replacement finalist.
The chances of winning will depend upon the number of entrants.
