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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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 puppy, especially since he was growing bigger by the day. 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!
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!
