We had such a wonderful experience with Bark Busters and our trainer, Jared! As first-time dog owners, we were feeling overwhelmed and unsure about how to effectively communicate with our pup. Jared completely changed that. He taught us how to understand and work with our dog in a way that felt natural and frustration-free.
Jared was always punctual, professional, and incredibly easy to communicate with. He made sure all our questions were answered--no matter how small--and took the time to explain things clearly and patiently. It's so obvious how much he genuinely cares, not just about the dogs, but about their humans too.
If you're a new dog owner or just looking for a trainer who truly gets it, we can't recommend Jared and Bark Busters enough. He's kind, hardworking, and a total lifesaver. Thank you, Jared!
Jared is amazing! Flexible, knowledgeable, patient and fun too! Our 5 month old Shepherd/Malinois mix is high energy and all teeth at this age. Jared has taught us how to communicate with our pup and what he needs from us. Jared is amazing with this crazy breed, and the dog too! lol
Jared with Bark Busters is the best dog trainer! Ever since he has been working with me in training my puppy she has been doing great. I don't know what I would do without him. Highly recommend Jared with Bark Busters you wont regret it.
Jared, our dog trainer, is great! He’s very knowledgeable, but also applies what he knows to real world situations, when it comes to dog training! We’ve been working with him for about 3 months now, and the tools and techniques he’s given us have helped us to be more confident and understanding of our dog, Justice, in turn, helping Justice to be more calm and obedient around our family and friends.

The most amazing dog trainer!
Jared helped us address every concern we had, from excessive barking to separation anxiety, by providing clear and practical training methods tailored to our situation. He also taught us what our dog might be feeling and thinking, which really helped us understand how we, as owners, should approach our dog.
We initially tried learning from YouTube videos, but we were often unsure if we were doing things correctly. Having Jared visit our home made all the difference. He first demonstrated the training techniques himself, then guided us as we practiced, offering thoughtful and reassuring feedback. This hands-on support eased a lot of our anxiety.
Jared is incredibly gentle and respectful, both to dogs and their owners. Since we had recently moved from overseas, we were also a bit worried about the language barrier, but he spoke slowly and clearly, and kindly explained any unfamiliar terms when needed.
If we ever need to choose a dog trainer again, we would confidently choose Jared. Thank you so much, Jared!
Jared is absolutely wonderful. He listens carefully to the specific challenges we have faced and has us practice behavior modification using his practical techniques. The dog is responding well and we look forward to working further with Jared.
My fiancé found Bark Busters while looking through online reviews on dog trainers. The Bark Busters team was very helpful and responsive, aligning us with our trainer Jared. We could not be happier with our decision to have Jared train our pup (and us). Sadie is a 5 month old energetic mini Goldendoodle and she is learning so much through Jared’s training. We look forward to our biweekly training session and highly recommend Jared!
He has the best tips and tricks for our pup and always comes with his Marry Poppins car of goodies to help assist in our training sessions (harnesses, Kongs, long leashes, etc).
So my fiancé and I rescued a mutt from the shelter who was abandoned 3 times and was sitting in a shelter from February of this year until about May. We were sent photos of the little guy and my fiancés heart immediately melted and a week later he came home with us.
What we didn't take into account was how much of a headache this guy was going to be when we got him, likely due to his trauma and whatever he experienced before us. The little guy, now called Reaper, was barking at every single dog, bird, cat, and any other animal, as well as lunging and pulling like the world was ending. We knew that there would be some adjustment period for Reaper to settle down and get used to us and while he did, he was still a huge headache. We then got him neutered him and hope he would calm down a little and it helped but not much.
We got a little desperate and tried using YouTube to train him but it didn't workout like we hoped. Then we found BarkBusters, specifically Jared for the SMC area. Let me tell you, this little headache of a mutt is a completely different dog than when we first met him. Almost a complete 180.
Reaper still barks and needs work but Jared started with fundamentals and how to "talk" to the dog in ways he understands so he can find his place and his purpose in the household. We've had about 4 sessions so far and each time builds upon the last and Reaper can now sit on command, stay, and knows his boundaries like we didn't think was possible.
Now Reaper is a huge handful and there's still plenty of work to be done, but in comparison to what he was when we got him and what he is now, we can't recommend Jared enough.
He's the real deal. He helps you understand your dog and come up with reasonings as to why your dog does what he does and helps your dog understand you!
One of the best investments you can make if you have a handful of a mutt. Hands down.
Jared is a great trainer!! He helped me with my dog Domino who is leash reactive and barks at strangers. He was very knowledgeable, analyzed the areas where Domino needed guidance and then and gave me great advice and tips. We practiced different techniques and I was very impressed with how much it helped Domino immediately. He was very friendly and made Domino comfortable. You can tell he has a passion for what he does. I would highly recommend Jared if you live in the Bay Area and have been thinking about training your dog or need help with any specific issues. Thank you so much for your help!!
