Kansas City South Client Reviews

See what our clients have to say

Jeff J was very clear and precise to deal with. He under promised/over delivered on our dog training. I will recommend him for family and friends
I was getting hopeless prior to meeting Trainer Jeff and watching how his presence and training cues were immediately obeyed by my 5-month old dog. He provided easy command techniques for me and my husband to teach our wild pup how to sit, walk on a leash, get a collar on without aggression and more. We've had two sessions so far and are beyond thankful for his expertise and guidance. If it wasn't for him, I honestly am not sure if we would have made it as a pack. I'm so thankful that he has turned that anxiety around for us all. Jeff is generous with his time and puts humans and dogs at ease. We are so glad we made the investment!
Jeff has been an amazing help! We had a shiba that had some aggression issues. He came out and spent the first session meeting with us and the dogs, spending time to understand the problem and explaining their methods with us. He also spent a good deal of time not only working with the dog but also working with training us on how to approach the training and methods to use. He has since had many follow up visit to check on our progress. The results are night and day our Shiba now gets a long great with our other dogs and has become a lot more playful. It has been such an immense help having him as a resource. While yes you can find many resources and instruction online it helps to have an expert outside view to help both you and the dog. I would strongly recommend his services to any that have an especially troubled dog it has been amazing!
Zoey and I were a mess until Jeff showed up and showed us the techniques we needed to know! Zoey was barking uncontrollably, attacking the postman and other dogs, wouldn't walk on leash, and jumping on visitors. Within our first lesson, Jeff made a HUGE difference. He taught me to be leader of the pack and help Zoey to listen to my commands using dog friendly methods only. We practice everyday for about 15 minutes and everything is going great. I highly recommend Jeff and Bark Busters!
Jeff is a fantastic dog trainer. He is knowledgeable, amiable, patient, and has an easy laid back demeanor that inspires confidence. I have a 150lbs Great Dane that Jeff has been instructing me how to train since shortly after I brought Little OB(the dog's name) home. With Jeff's steady guidance we have made great strides towards having a controllable giant dog. No matter the obstacles that my dog would present, Jeff had the answer-all I had to do was ask. When my little doggy had surgery, Jeff would text or call weekly while OB was recovering from his neuter/gastropexy-it was always a welcome conversation. Many friends and family sought to discourage me from enlisting the help of a professional dog trainer-I am extremely thankful that I did not listen to them. The money spent towards training has been a fantastic investment towards having a better relationship with my dog/my best friend. I will forever be grateful to Jeff, and feel as though I am in debt to him for all the help/training tips for my giant goofy dog that has not always been the best at following instructions. We are very fortunate to have had your help. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I can't say enough great things about our trainer, Jeff! We were thinking we might have bit off more than we could chew by adopting a 165 pound year old Great Dane with no previous training and a lot of bad habits. With Jeff's excellent training and advice said dog has become a well behaved and irreplaceable family member. We couldn't have done it without him!!
I have two labrador puppies (one a girl and one a boy) that were out of control ... you name it and they did it. They were acting aggressive toward each other and barking uncontrollably. Thank goodness for Jeff Johnston. We saw immediate results and will continue to do our homework each day. He made the whole training session easy and fun and now I understand what they mean by Speak Dog!
In our house we had 3 ill-behaved dogs that were in some serious need of training. We called Jeff as our last hope and we are so pleased we did!! Jeff was kind, gentle and compassionate to our animals. He was thorough and knowledgeable in his teachings and with just one lesson my dogs have already learned so much. We are looking forward to our future sessions and would HIGHLY recommend!!
