Home Dog Training in San Mateo County, CA!

I am Jared Levenson, your Bark Busters Dog Trainer and Dog Behavioral Therapist here in Greater San Mateo. Growing up in a farmhouse in the rolling foothills of Sacramento, my childhood was enveloped in a world where animals were not just pets, but family. From the gentle purrs of our cats to the playful antics of our goats, and even a dog whose memory is as fleeting as the wind—our home was a haven for creatures great and small. This early immersion in the animal kingdom instilled in me a deep respect and love for all living beings, shaping the core of who I am today.

I pursued an education that would allow me to understand behavior not just in animals, but in people too. Earning my Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University was a pivotal step in my journey. One of the most transformative experiences came while working as a counselor at a mental health center in Half Moon Bay. Witnessing the sheer joy and healing that 'pet therapy' brought to our clients—be it through horseback riding or a visiting dog—opened my eyes to the powerful role animals play in our lives. 

As I step into the role of a Bark Busters Dog Trainer in San Mateo County, I bring with me not just my professional background in counseling and behavioral training, but a lifelong passion for animals and a genuine desire to make a difference. Whether you're navigating the challenges of severe dog aggression, dealing with separation anxiety, sibling rivalry among pets, or seeking guidance on obedience or puppy training, I'm here for you.

What excites me most about the Bark Busters method is its foundation in natural canine communication. It's not about changing who your dog is, but rather bringing out the best in them by understanding their behaviors, needs, and triggers. By learning how to communicate more effectively, we can ensure that an understood dog is indeed a happy dog.

I've witnessed countless families on the brink of surrendering their dogs find hope and happiness again through our training methods. By employing effective, simple, time-efficient, and cruelty-free techniques, we've been able to address severe dog behaviors, allowing families to keep their beloved pets and live a happier life together.

Seeing aggressive dogs transform into content, well-adjusted family members from the very first lesson has been incredibly fulfilling. Our goal isn't to "fix" dogs but to understand them and improve everyday life for everyone in the household.

Now, calling San Mateo County home, I'm blessed daily with the opportunity to help dogs and their owners discover new levels of companionship, loyalty, respect, fun, and love. My mission is to help you live the life you've always wanted with your best friends. It's an honor and a pleasure to be part of your journey.

Jared is kind, caring, patient, and considerate. He really focuses on training Humans rather than the dogs which has a longer lasting effect. My dogs went from never being able to have people come to our house to being able to handle a full party! The change that I’ve seen in My dogs after having Jared's help was significant!!!! I highly recommend him as a Trainer.

Let me start by saying I love this training style. It's all about communicating effectively with your dog (no shock collars or prong collars AND no excessive treats). I grew up with chronically misbehaving dogs and had parents default to prong collars, so I was a little uncertain about this training style actually working, but I already notice improvements!
Overall, Jared was helpful, thoughtful, and thorough. We covered a ton of information during the first session. We focused on leashed walks, attentiveness, jumping, barking, personal space, and general manners (not crowding while we eat, stealing shoes, staying away from the door while we enter/ exit, etc.). We even went over diet. We gave us a lot of material to review and ways to track progress over weeks so it wasn't overwhelming and it's easier to stay consistent. He was well-prepared for the session and even brought a stuffed dog!
He helped my two dogs (11 year old rescue and 5 month old German shepherd) as well as my boyfriend's dog (5 year old pitbull mix rescue). There was noticeable improvement with the puppy before the end of the first session. Thank you, Jared!

I cannot recommend Jared enough!
We started training with him because we wanted a calmer, more confident dog and honestly the difference has been amazing. Jared is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and SO good at explaining things in a way that makes sense.

What I loved the most is that he didn’t just “train the dog,” he taught US how to work with him in real life situations. Every session felt personalized to our dog’s personality and needs, and Jared always showed up with such a positive attitude and so much care.

We’ve seen huge progress already, better leash manners, calmer behavior around other dogs and people. Overall just a happier pup who knows what’s expected of him.

If you’re looking for a trainer who is professional, results-oriented, and genuinely passionate about dogs, Jared is the one. Totally worth it.

Jared of Bark Busters has been doing a great job helping me train my pack of three young dogs. We have made great strides in improving the dogs’ behavior. All three dogs were barking a lot at the front door and jumping on guests as they arrived. Issue addressed and resolved. I have one dog that that is tough case and continues to bark at some strange triggers. Jared continues to work with me to improve this behavior. We have come a long way. This dog has made great improvements in her barking and I am confident with more repetition and Jared’s guidance we will get there. Jared is kind, has a calm presence, and communicates well with humans and dogs.

I had such an amazing experience with Jared and it’s only been 2 lessons so far. My original concerns with Luna (my dog) was her excessive barking and separation anxiety. During training, I remembered that she also has no recall, LOL. Anyways, Luna’s 7 years old, she’s the first dog I’ve ever really tried “training” with, and she only knows your basic commands (sit, down, paw, stay, leave it) but I had absolutely no idea what to do about her separation anxiety or barking. She’ll bark at whatever sounds she hears and whatever she sees outside of our apartment.

Our first lesson with Jared was great, he taught me how to correct Luna’s behavior and how to read her body language. He actually even showed me that Luna actually knew how to heel and was really good at walking (with Jared at least.. LOL). He showed me some practices/training I could do with Luna on my own time. He’s extremely knowledgeable and really patient. There were times where I just didn’t catch onto Luna’s body language or I didn’t know when to correct her and Jared was there to help me recognize those behaviors.

After the first lesson, Luna hardly barks at the sounds she hears and the people, cars, and/or animals she’ll see outside of our apartment. Surprisingly, this has lead into her separation anxiety as well. She hardly cries now when we are gone for work, which we are so grateful for. It was extremely stressful for us when she was gone. Now we’re currently working on her recall and honestly, it’s been going great so far. Even with all the YouTube videos or advice all over the internet, I just couldn’t get a grip on what to do with Luna or how to get it to work — until I found Jared!! I honestly couldn’t recommend him more!

Jared helped me and my family with our first puppy, Monty. With the overwhelming amount of information out there, it is comforting to have someone with Jared’s knowledge and calm demeanor who we can reach out to for the support that we need in raising our mini-Schnauzer. Through Jared’s first visit, we learned Bark Buster’s methods of behavior correction which has helped us feel more empowered and given us the confidence boost we needed to improve our relationship with our new pup. I am excited to continue on this training path with Jared’s support and would recommend him to anyone who may struggling with the challenges that all new puppy parents face.

Jared's expertise and time spent actively listening, genuinely empathizing, REALLY, really getting to know my dog's situation before we began training was nothing short of absolutely INVALUABLE to me. Jared is a skilled counselor as well as an expert dog trainer. I had relief and confidence after our intro talk. I knew that Jared was going to be very patient and very encouraging as I learned and then gradually mastered now, I feel, how to speak "dog language", as he says (and skillfully demonstrates) to my dog. My dog needed to know that I was the leader. He really didn't know that --- and I didn't know he din't know that. Jared taught ME how to teach him that. My dog is tremendously more relaxed, "waits" appropriately for food/ treats & affection, and RESPONDS to my behavior corrections and praise --- because I learned how to present these to him meaningfully, in "dog language". Jared has absolutely changed my life with his training and time. Where I once had fear about not having enough control over my dog's behavior, I now have confidence, relief, and quite literally, peace. Bark Busters' systems and philosophies are very clear, really concise, and "simplified", helpful for me as I became too easily confused and rattled, definitely too self-conscious in a "group" training environment with others. ​​Bark Buster's one-on-one instructional format, with Jared's particular gifts as an expert in these training techniques AND as a sensitive counselor who understands dog parents' insecurities about their dogs' issues, is something I'm always, always going to be so grateful to have found.

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!

My dog was a senior rescue. He behaved wildly around other dogs, and he would lead me wherever he wanted to go. Thanks to Jared, I now know how to speak to my dog and the behavior has completely changed. He is obedient and is much calmer around other animals. Thank you Jared for your expert training; my dog is now a pleasure to be around.

I highly recommend Jared! I've been working with him for about two months now, I think we've had four or five sessions, and my dog has made huge improvements.

One of my neighbors even said 'wow, it's like he's a different dog!', and I was able to host a small party at home without having to worry about him bulldozing everyone when they walked in the door.

I have a 75lb, three-year old dog, and the specific issues we were looking for help with were:
- pulling on leash
- jumping on people to say 'hi'
- barking at people, dogs, cats when they walk by the window

On the first visit, Jared came to my house to get a better understanding of my dog's problem behaviors, and was able to teach me some techniques to practice for homework.

In the next visit, he was able to see what kind of progress we'd made, and point out how I could improve, as well as teach my parents and teenager how to communicate with the dog. He is very honest about what he thinks might be too much if the dog isn't ready, and what we need to practice. I really appreciate how he tailored his instructions for different people so they each felt confident about what to do when they are handling the dog.

Jared crafts his training program to meet individual's needs. For example, if you want to take your dog to a park, or outdoor restaurant, he'll go there with you and he show you techniques that work for that setting.

He doesn't use choke chains, e-collars, or any other negative/violent reinforcement tools to 'break' a dog into submission. He also doesn't rely on over-dispensing treats (I was doing that before) to coax a dog into behavior.

In just the two months we've been working with Jared, I sense that my dog is more relaxed, because I am more relaxed and confident!

We realized we needed a behavioral trainer when our dog began to occasionally snap at some family members. She had been a bit unruly already but we weren't totally concerned until then. Jared came out to our house and we started with Kali put away. We just kind of talked about the issues we were having with her and what we wish she would see in her. We discussed how some things are trainable and others are personality issues that would need to be more about us controlling the environment. Then we gently introduced her and he got to see her silly craziness in action. I think right off the bat, Jared realized that Kali was walking all over us and that it was causing both her as the dog and us as the owners some anxiety. He taught us how to be the owner and treat her like an actual dog so that she would not feel the need to be the mom protect protecting her little pups. She has become a lot more trainable, less anxious, and brings us a lot more joy. Jared has been coming out regularly to teach us new training techniques as well as checking in to see how we're feeling about her progress. Our biggest thing is that Jared helps us stay accountable with the training. Because it's not a pay per session type of training business model, we know that Jared does this because he enjoys working with dogs and bettering them through their owner. He has been super helpful and we are seeing progress in Kali every day.

This is my first dog and he was not a puppy when I got him. Although he is friendly, he did not receive a lot of training with his previous owners so there was a lot of work to do. After feeling quite overwhelmed trying to do it on my own, I began looking for professional dog training.
We have been working with Jared for about a month now and there has definitely been progress. What I really appreciate is Jared's quick responses to questions and concerns. Jared also seems to be quite knowledgeable, always offering new solutions if something doesn't seem to be working.
I would highly recommended working with Jared if you are having trouble training your dog on your own.

Josh and I are so glad we found Jared through BarkBusters. After our initial 3 hr session, Jared already gave so many tips to help our pup, Udon. She is a rescue dog and has anxiety along with aggression towards dogs.
On our first walk together, Jared gave us a head collar and the change was instant. It was so much easier to control her on walks. No more leash pulling.
Every session since then, we have worked on a specific issue and Jared always has amazing patience and kindness towards us and Udon.
Jared was also there to support us when we introduced Udon to the dog park (still a work in progress). We feel so much more competent and know how to progressively work on exposing Udon to more dogs and reading her body language.
Another moment I will always remember is when Udon met my in-laws 3 month old puppy. With Jared's guidance, they were able to have a positive first encounter.
We honestly can't believe the progress Udon has made in these last few months.
Looking forward to continuing this wonderful relationship with Jared as our pup expert.

Jared has been phenomenal in helping my wife and I understand the small but very important social cues and behaviors our two pugs exhibit. He's helped us achieve a stronger relationship with our dogs rooted in better communication. We are now focusing on making sure we know how to handle and communicate with our puggers during times that they get stressed and levels of high emotion. Jared makes sure to hold our hands throughout this learning journey every step of the way! I can't recommend him enough to dog parents who want a better relationship with their furry ones.

Jared is kind, professional and knowledgeable. He was very helpful and an active problem solver with our newly adopted 20 month old Rottweiler/Boxer mix Jax, who came to us with severe separation anxiety. Jax was also a strong puller/lunger during our daily walks. With Jared's guidance and strategies, we can now safely leave Jax home alone and our walks are getting better steadily. It takes consistent practice, but it's reassuring to know that Jared is just a text away.

I first worked with Jared about a year ago and was really impressed with his calm, intuitive approach. Due to shoulder and foot surgeries, I had to take a break from training—but when I was ready to resume, I reached out to Jared again, and I’m so glad I did.

After just one session last week, my dog is now showing no aggression toward other dogs—a huge change! Jared clearly understands both dogs and their people, and he gave me practical tools that were easy to use and made a noticeable difference right away.

One of the things I love about Bark Busters is that the training happens at home, in the dog’s familiar environment. It made the whole experience less stressful and more effective.

We still have some work to do (especially around cats!), but I’ll definitely be bringing Jared back. I highly recommend him.

We hired Jared to help with our husky mix when she was going through a difficult adolescence. Jared helped us understand "as we live" training and create structure and consistency with her through ongoing enforcement of basic house rules like only crossing the door threshold with permission, better loose leash walking, and sleeping only in her bed rather than on the couch. His methods were clear, straightforward and effective. We were able to have a calmer dog and calmer family once we all understood each other better thanks to Jared's training of humans and pup!

We reached out to BarkBusters due to some fights between my dog and my roommate's moms' dog, who was temporarily living with us. What appealed to us was Jared coming to our home to train us instead of us bringing the dogs, who are already stressed, to a strange location. Jared is super patient with us, and guides us in the best way to interact with our dogs.
Jared has been very responsive to inquiries and is readily available when we have requested him for follow-up sessions. Due to our hectic and conflicting work schedules, we have had to make adjustments to visits, and Jared has always been accommodating and understanding of this, something we greatly appreciate.
I feel I have made good progress with my approximately 2 1/2 year old Siberian Husky mix. We still have a way to go, but I feel we have made a good start and built a good foundation for us to work with.
I readily recommend BarkBusters and Jared to anyone having issues with aggression, reactivity, obedience, etc.

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!

This training with Jared has given me the dog I've wanted and hoped for! My friends were skeptical at first about the higher cost of private training, but i work where i live so it was very important that my Rio be behaved in both areas.

Rio had been adopted before and returned, so he had a few issues at first. He had lots of separation anxiety and barking. Jared gave me some important tools to use and slowly there is no more anxiety when I leave - no barking, even when left in the car as I do errands.
We had a glitch at about 2 months. Rio had been housebroken and has a dog door for outside access. Suddenly he started urinating - seemingly willfully. That just about broke me truthfully. He's so smart and i was at a loss until i thought to call Jared again. He gave me the faith that we could overcome this occasional issue. We scheduled another in person visit and he gave me lots of tips! Strangely, it never happened again! I'm prepared for an occasional accident and know to keep calm, but it's been 3 weeks and I think we're in the clear.

My one-year-old pit puppy still has some things to learn. Hes SUPER friendly and just wants to play with any dog he sees BUT i know if any issue arises in the future, I can depend on Jared to help me work it out. If it wasnt for the confidence he gave me about the urination issue, this might have had a very different and very sad ending.

Thanks to Jared, i now have my companion for life. I could not be happier!
