About Jef

Best Dog Training in Tampa, FL!
Since 1989, Bark Busters has trained over one million dogs worldwide. This has only been possible because our methods work, often very quickly, and with a little consistent practice you can have the canine companion you envisioned.
Welcome. I am Jef Evans, your certified Bark Busters dog trainer and behavioral therapist from Tampa to Spring Hill. Growing up in Florida, my siblings and I had all the pets - dogs, cats, gerbils, fish, and even newts. As an adult, I have cared for some amazing rescues, from Great Danes to Shi Tzus. I look forward to helping you learn how to communicate with your awesome dog. Let me help you live a happier life together with your dog!
We teach our clients how to train their dogs. Every dog is an individual and there is not a one size fits all course of action. Before starting on a program with our clients we spend time getting to know them, their dog(s), the situation, and their goals. Your thoughts, feelings and ideas are crucial to the process as is your commitment to practice daily the exercises that we will teach you.
Clear communication with your dog is a vital part of teaching your dog how to live happily in your home with your family. We will help you understand not only how your dog communicates with you, but also how to communicate in a way that is easy for your dog to understand. As with any relationship, clear communication is a key element.
Communicate with your dog. Puppies learn from their mothers and siblings how to live with dogs. They don’t teach puppies how to live with people. That’s up to us when we bring them home to live with us. We love helping people with their puppies and seeing them grow into great dogs.
Older dogs can have issues which can concern their families. We regularly help with issues of aggression, separation anxiety, or just teaching the basics of walking without pulling, or how to greet without jumping up. No matter what issues your dog(s) might have, Bark Busters can help. You can teach an old dog new tricks!
Dog-friendly methods. Great relationships are built a upon a bond which includes respect, trust, and safety. We never use any harsh, or physical methods or equipment, and never would use or recommend pinch, shock, prong or choke collars. We never use force or make dogs do anything. We also don't bribe dogs and we won’t turn you into a treat dispenser (treats are great, as a treat!) We work with all breeds of dogs and all ages, and we are experts at helping families with multiple dogs.
Immediate results. Our efficient and effective methods allow you to be well on your way to having an improved relationship with your dog in two-to-three hours! And, if you purchase our gold package, we'll be your dog trainer for the life of your dog at no additional cost. With our Life of Dog Support Guarantee, if new issues arise or bad habits return, we're your partner for the life of your dog.

This means faster, longer-lasting solutions for you and your dog.
Dogs learn best in a familiar, safe environment, free of outside distractions and disruptions. That’s why we come directly to your home, on your schedule to build an effective foundation for better behavior. We work first to build an effective foundation for better behavior. We teach you how to communicate with your dog. Dogs naturally live in families and look their family leaders for guidance, safety, and love. Most people don't know how to appeal to a dog's natural sense of leadership or communication. We teach you how to use friendly, canine leadership and to "speak dog" using your body language, voice tones, and timing so you and your dog communicate better! You will see results. You want to see a change in your dog’s behavior, preferably sooner rather than later.
