In-Home Dog Training in Seattle Metro & Eastside King County, WA!

Welcome. We are Jenny and Jordan, your Bark Busters Dog Trainer and Dog Behavioral Therapist in Seattle Metro and Eastside King County.

About Jenny

I've trained dogs for more than 15 years.  My first job at age 15 was in a vet clinic in Bellevue, WA and volunteering in Kelsey Creek Park in the summers. My life passion has always been animals. I have been married to my husband, Jeff, for 26 years and we have three boys, six dogs, and three rabbits.

About Jordan

Jordan, my oldest son, is also my business partner. Jordan has grown up watching me train dogs and shares the same passion for animals. Jordan has always watched my training techniques and put them into place with our family dogs and his friend's dogs. 

Recently, Jordan and I spent time in Canada in an extensive dog training class with the Bark Busters North American Master Trainer to expand and refine our training techniques.

Each dog we train is a new opportunity to make a difference in a family's life. We consider it an honor to be part of this transformation!  You are likely here because you're either a new puppy owner or experiencing some stress with an older dog. No worries, help is on the way!

Immediate results. Bark Busters dog-friendly and kind training methods produce quick results. In fact, it's not unusual to have what were once "out of control dogs" behaving nicely - sitting and waiting calmly, not jumping up and not charging the front door - by the end of the first training session!  Puppies can be challenge for new first-time dog owners and experienced dog owners. We’ll partner with you to quickly sort out toilet training, nipping, and all the other frustrations that are part of puppyhood.

Dog-friendly methods. Bark Busters does not use physically or mentally abusive training methods. We also don't use treats as the primary motivator. Instead, we show you how to apply the natural and quick strategies that dogs use themselves to influence each other. These strategies are easy to learn and you'll quickly establish yourself as the leader and the object of your dog's love, respect, and obedience.

...After putting in the work I’m so amazed at the progress she has made. Jordan was great at suggesting different tactics and knowing just how much to push her. He really has a great instinct when it comes to dogs. He was great to work with and you could tell he really cared for our pup. I highly recommend him!

To say we had a circus going with out three dogs is an understatement. Previously owning dogs separately, we moved in together and the blend of our pack was not going well. Jordan has been a savior. From teaching quick commands our dogs understand to helping us blend our pack together smoothly, it's been a worthwhile investment and a game changer to our household. We love our time with Jordan and look forward to dog training monthly.

Working with Jordan over the last year has been amazing! I could write a book about how grateful I am to Jordan and all he has done for us, but it still wouldn't encompass this amazing human. He is a wonderful teacher and has given me the confidence to be a better dog parent. My baby girl suffers from anxiety and her reactivity had gotten pretty bad but with each training session he makes sure we work on something to better improve the communication between my dog and I. We have made leaps and bounds of progress with Jordan and look forward to each and every session. He has made a huge difference in our lives and the happiness of our furr baby. If you have any training needs or concerns I would highly recommend working with Jordan, it has been one of the best decisions we've ever made for our family. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend.

Jordan has been amazing! We have a very energetic 4 year old and a more grumpy 11 year old. He was very careful to ask exactly what we wanted out of our training so it could be tailored specifically to our needs. He helped us with everything from the appropriate harness/collar, the commands that would work and how to really make those commands something we could use in our regular routine. We spent training time at home, at a park and in a store. Every dog is different so his ability to read what we needed and make it happen was amazing. But to set expectations…his training is only as good as the effort owners are willing to put in. He gives you the tools and makes it clear and easy what needs to be done. Follow his training and tips and you’ll love the results!

Cannot recommend hiring Jordan for dog training enough!! He has been so patient with not only our pup, but us too! We have been a little scarred by our dog lashing out against 3 other dogs so it's been a battle to not only train her to not react to dogs, but giving us the training and peace of mind to allow her space to make improvements. We also needed overall training with her because she tends to be high energy. Now she doesn't jump on people when we are sitting on the couch, I don't have to worry about her jumping on people when they come through the door, AND my disabled mom can officially take her for walks because she doesn't pull! The last thing we are working on is her recall skills, and I'm sure with Jordan's guidance we will be able to allow her to roam freely in a dog park with less worries! Absolutely love that we didn't have to train her with fear-based tactics, and mostly just have been providing her the support she needs to feel safe. Also happy that it's a lifetime purchase, because we will likely have Jordan help us in the future with meeting new doggie roommates at our place! Definitely worth the investment - we got way more out of this than other trainers we worked with!!

Jordan Claudon is the perfect match for my Elsa. He is very calm and patient with her and makes training look easy. I wish only that I could have started with his services much earlier. Both Elsa and myself have improved so much within a short period of time. So grateful for his experience and ability to work with our super dogs, especially my Elsa.

Despite trying to do our best to raise our boys, we knew there was stuff we were not doing right and we needed a professional to come and help us. I researched a lot of companies before settling on Bark Busters.

Jordan came out and by the end of the first session, I noticed a massive difference. I couldn't believe it. I knew working 1:1 with a pro would be what we needed and I was right.

The 2 weeks after Jordan left would be the trial but with the information Jordan gave us, we noticed a significant difference in the pups. We know there is probably a ton of information he can pass on to us but we have to take it in bite size pieces to not overwhelm us and the pups. But with that we were taught, they started reacting positively to it and listening to us. They weren't barking at the neighbor dog as much. They were giving us space. Even our friend who came over noticed a difference compared to when they used to overwhelm him by jumping up.

Our next training will take us to the dog park with Jordan to help us socialize the dogs and get them to a point where they can play with other dogs and not be aggressive to them.

We purchased the lifetime plan for both of our pups because we knew we would be moving over seas in a year or two and luckily there are trainers in the UK as well.

Dog yourselves (and your pups) a life changing favor and invest in them. It has already made a huge difference for US to know what to do and for THEM to understand.

Do you hear that? No I don't either! No more incessant barking thanks to Jen. Jen just came this morning to work with my family and our one dog. She was very nice and professional (huge relief after having a horrible experience with a different trainer who was very condescending), did a great job explaining/teaching us humans how to “speak dog” and super effective when she interacted with my dog. The house has been so peaceful in the hours since she left-no more barking, chasing cats and nipping us for attention. We also went for a walk with no pulling. It was incredible! My dog no longer is on alert trying to protect us and is very calm. After months of chaos, frustration and discouragement, I am actually excited and very hopeful for a great family companion.

Jordan’s techniques are amazing. I have a 5+ year old Australian Shepherd (Blue Healer). He was becoming very aggressive. He was biting me and more so my wife. I had reached the end of the line for him. I was seriously considering having put down. Jordan was his last chance. I could not believe how quickly we were able to turn Quinn around. The very first day, he was responding to our commands. Within the 2nd day I would have sworn someone took my dog and replaced him with a kinder, gentler animal. NO KIDDING, a total turn around. Jordan literally save my dogs life. I know how this sounds. Impossible! Won’t work with my dog. Etc.... I was the same. I don’t care what issues you are having with your animal, Jordan can help.

Jenny and Jordan are amazing! I'm still a little shocked at how quickly my dog Finn responded to their training techniques. I work from home and clients come to the house and Finn barks and jumps up on them unless I crate him. He seeks attention and interrupts or he barks and whines when I put him away. Well, that's what he used to do. Within 30 minutes I was able to redirect him and get him to settle down. It's been 4 days and Finn is more relaxed, obedient and he seems happier. I'm happier and my clients immediately noticed the change. The steps were easy to put into action and I really liked that I don't have to use treats or have to be mean to my dog to get results.

Jack was simply put, awesome. We have a huge dog, 120+ pounds, and Jack handled him with ease. His method and approach was kind, gentle, smart, and effective. Jack is experienced and personable, walking into a busy family's schedule and moods. He helped with everything we threw at him, and had a manageable arsenal of approaches to use for each situation. We would most highly recommend Jack to any friend or family member!

When Jack arrived for our first appointment my husband and I were frustrated with our dog's behavior. He immediately assessed our situation and within two hours had redirected us to learn how to assume the role of alpha dog and to 'speak dog' to Lucy. At the end of that session, she was coming when called, not jumping up, and remaining outside her 'no go' zone. Amazing!! Jack is THE BEST. I must confess when I first went online and read the reviews on Barkbusters, the comments were so positive, I assumed he had to be too good to be true. Not so—Jack is the real thing and he's worth every penny of the cost of training your dog.

Dear Jack,

Thank you very much for visiting us today.

This evening, we went for a walk to Marymoor as usual. I have to tell you, this was the first time he didn't pull the leash since we adopted him in February. We even passed other dogs but he didn't rush toward them. It's unreal.

We will keep practicing and I can feel that one day soon he will do this without effort. I'm so proud of him.

Thank you again.

Jack Knudson has been to our house several times and he is very talented. He has gotten us back on track when we slacked off on Prince's training. Jack made us feel welcome to contact him anytime we had an issue. We've learned that any problems were really a reflection on how well we were using the tools Jack provided.

Jack's 2 hour visit and training verged on miraculous! I have a 6 year old lab mutt who is a love. When he turned 6 everything seemed to click with him and he remembered and used all the dog manners he had been taught in his 6 years - except for barking. He'd bark when people came to the door, came in the door, when he was outside and wanted in, when he was in the back yard and I was in the front yard and he wanted to join me... Not just one bark, but often long,ongoing, very annoying barking. Because we have several dogs in the family we often swap dog-sitting. His barking was getting less and less welcome. This had to stop!
With 2 very simple tips from Jack, in a very short period of time, less than an hour, my dog would sit outside the designated greeting area in the front hall, quiet as a mouse, would stay there until Jack and I proceeded out of sight, into the kitchen, until I called him to join me. Amazing! A few days later at the home of one of my kids, after only one reminder he sat quietly outside the slider door, just watching us inside. Before, he had jumped and barked and barked. What a transformation! He still barks when he hears someone outside (which I want him to do) but once I join him in the front hall he is quiet and sits outside the greeting area.
So simple! So quick! So amazing!
Jack and his training methods are unbeatable!

What a wonderful experience! Jack was very kind and highly knowledgable on dog behavior. He recognized Fen's atypical behaviors and got right to work! By the end of the session, many of Fen's seperation anxiety behaviors had subsided and progress achieved. Would highly recommend!

Jack Knudsen was everything our vet told us he would be - polite, knowledgeable, easy to work with, a good listener and a great teacher. We're still amazed that in just two hours he was able to show us easy-to-use techniques to work with our dog. It's nothing short of a miracle that we've gone from having our dog control our lives to having us control our dog - in a loving, caring way that seems to make our pooch as happy as we are. We highly recommend Jack

We met Jack for the first time on 12/5/15. He relates so well to both animals and people. I think we progressed well for the first visit, and have made plans to see him again in 2 weeks. My goal is to keep my dog safe and secure and I believe that this training will reach that goal for us.

What a remarkable difference in my dachshund within the first two hour session! Walker has some aggression issues as well as pulling on the leash, barking and growling, jumping up on people, and crowding the door way. He also has some marking habits that we are looking forward to breaking (we think this has to do with him thinking he is in charge). In the first session Walker was able to walk loosely on a leash and follow commands to wait for me to go through a door first. Walker has also improved on letting visitors in to the house without barking/growling/jumping and violating their space. Our next session we are going to work on his aggression towards other dogs while on a leash. We ended up signing up for a year long guarantee. We were given homework to work on for ourselves and Walker that we will be working on daily. I can't wait to see what the future sessions hold and look forward to learning more about how to communicate with my four legged friend.
Thanks Jack!

I wanted to give a HUGE shout out to Jack Knudsen! We have only met one time so far (signed up to meet for a year at least) and the difference in the relationship between my 8 1/2 year old son and our Boxer puppy is 110% changed for the better! We brought our puppy home at 8 weeks and within a day we realized we were going to have issues with our puppy thinking our son was a litter mate. Brody was biting our son (playfully) and jumping all over him, however puppy teeth are so sharp and we wanted to make sure we set them up for success from the beginning.

We met with Jack after we had Brody for a week, within the first 10 minutes of our introduction I knew we were going to continue to see Jack. His methods have blown us away! The difference in how Brody interacts with our son and us is a complete 180, they are now able to play together and the biting has stopped... in ONE DAY of training! Granted, at times he needs to be reminded of proper puppy behavior, but all in all it's incredible!

We cannot wait to continue our sessions with Jack as Brody gets bigger, you can tell that Jack loves what he does and is more than willing to be patient with not only the owners crazy questions, but your fur baby as well. I would recommend Jack Knudsen to anyone around the East Side that is looking for someone to help with any number of issues you could be experiencing!

Thank you Jack, well worth every penny!

Jack was an amazing help to our dog behavior problems -- well, our human problems! We realized after the first session that it's truly the humans that need to be trained.

I came into this experience being very skeptical since we have two pretty stubborn dogs. By the end of the first session we had two completely different dogs and two completely new humans. After we took control back, our dogs learned to trust us and rely on us for things instead of having them be in charge of the house.

We have seen great progress since Jack has helped us. We now are able to sit in peace and quiet throughout the day instead of having them bark 24/7 at every little sound. When people come to the door now it's much more manageable! Our dogs are just overall happy campers now and able to just relax and be dogs while we can relax too. It's not as stressful when people come over and we aren't constantly dreading all of the neighbors making noise or the doorbell ringing.

Jack has definitely made a difference in the way things are around our house and we can't wait until our second session with him! We've learned so much already and we can't wait to see what we can learn next!
