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).
Jared has a lot of experience with all kinds of dog behaviors, and in our case with the anxiety of small dogs. He taught us how to anticipate and calm down our Havanese (10lb!!!) when she's confronted with larger dogs. This is working well for us, she's better behaved in public already.
Jared has been great to work with! We have a 3-year-old Parson Russell Terrier that is very energetic and very anxious. We did not realize how we were unconsciously rewarding unwanted behavior. Jared provided very helpful advice on what to focus on and management techniques to make the training more effective. Highly recommend working with him!
We had a great experience with Jared as our dog trainer. Our dog Ronaldo is a very stubborn and sometimes aggressive Frenchie, and it was really hard to control him. But Jared was really helpful! He found ways to calm Ronaldo down and taught us step by step how to manage him. Jared is very gentle and patient. Highly recommend!!
Jared combined his professionalism with a personable approach during the training. His strength lies in his incredible patience and willingness to attempt to address all your concerns. He truly listens to you and tailors his approach to meet your dog's specific needs.
When my husky Lobo was not behaving in the car, he was willing to ride the car with me to find out what's working and what's not working and told me the things I need to work on after the session. He also is willing to address issues that cannot be accomplished in one lesson and come back to train more. Lobo is still working on his recalls and Jared is willing to continue working on it and I really appreciate the persistence.
His methods are effective, and his calm demeanor helps create a positive learning environment. If you're looking for a dog trainer who genuinely cares about your dog's well-being and your success as a pet owner, Jared is the one to choose!
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!!
Jared at Bark Busters did an amazing job working with my dog and keeping her prey drive under control. Watching him in action was amazing, he broke her attention away from a squirrel multiple times and was very quick on rewarding her. He explained everything as he did it, so I could work with her whenever the opportunity arrived in the future. This is the most important part with training from my experience, the knowledge to replicate the training so we as pet parents can reinforce it throughout our dogs lives.
My husband and I were looking for some help with our reactive pitbull. We had already had some experience with training her at different places but needed a new trainer after moving. Jared was a perfect fit! He came to our place and helped us learn how to read our dog's behavior in her natural environment. Our dog is making awesome progress! She is less reactive and responds more to our corrections now that we know how to communicate with her! Our dog has a long journey but knowing that Jared is by our side the whole way brings us so much peace. I cannot recommend Jared enough!
Our family was desperate to find a company who can assist our 2 English Bulldog’s who suffer from anxiety, aggression with toys and food, and who are very over protective of us. Cody, who is our special Bulldog is a work in progress. He is so loving, but when it comes to meeting new people who always has his guard up and needs to be the protector of the family! After meeting Jared, he shared some quick tips on how to assist him with his aggression. I can easily say that although Cody is not at 100%, he has made significant progress inside the home and outside as well. Jared is so patient and understanding and without his help, I don’t know what we would have done or where we would be! If I could give 10 stars I would! Jared is by far the BEST trainer in San Mateo, Ca!! If you are looking for a trainer, please reach out to Bark Busters if you are in the San Mateo County!
