Jef is the best. He makes it so fun to teach my dog. I love talking with him and growing to be the best dog parent I could be. Hercules is happy with all the new things we are learning and it’s all thanks to Jef!!! Thank you so much honestly.
I cant find a dog trainer I trust or is ACTUALLY effective.” That was me and my girlfriend not too long ago. It felt impossible to find a reliable and experienced dog trainer,
but mimicking Cesar Millan just wasn’t cutting it, so we had to roll the dice. Our dog Ava has generalized anxiety, but it’s heightened when around other dogs. She sees them and lunges forward out of fear. Despite that, overall she’s an amazing doggo. She’s great with people, loving, energetic, everything you would want in a furry friend. My girlfriend and I were not enjoying walks with her however, due to her lunging and overall intense anxiousness around other dogs. After giving it some thought, we made the decision to put Ava first. After doing some research, we came across Jeff who immediately caught our attention with his extensive background. From the first visit we saw an immediate improvement in setting boundaries with Ava in and outside the house. WE COULDN’T BELIEVE IT. . . She began to see us as the pack leaders. It’s like she had been waiting for us to start speaking HER language and we could sense the relief she was feeling. With constant reinforcement combined with following the plan Jeff advised to the letter, Ava is night and day from what she used to be. Is she perfect? no, but taking it step by step is the key to success. Having someone like Jeff as a life long support system is a blessing. If you’re looking for a dog trainer who is realistic about training while nurturing your progress along the way, Jeff at Bark Busters should be your immediate decision.
Jef has been amazing. I am seeing such a big change in Silence! I am able to use my front door! Barking is getting under control and we are working on our walking confidence and behavior. Jeff's technique with Silence does not use any harsh treatments or punishments. He has simply taught me to communicate I want an unwanted behavior to stop. I can't wait to see the continued improvement and both of us become confident enough to walk the entire neighborhood.
Thank you for the kind words! Silence is such a good dog and you did a great job of showing him the leadership he needed.
thanks

The Dog Trainer Who Changed Our Lives!
We can’t say enough about Jef and the incredible impact he’s had on our lives. After 1.5 years of trying everything to train our Maltipoo, Luna, we were starting to feel like we’d never figure it out. Then we had one lesson with Jef, and everything changed.
Luna is now a completely different dog—in the best way possible! Friends and fellow travelers constantly ask, “Where is Luna?” and “Who is this dog?!” because they can’t believe the transformation. Jef’s training methods are clear, effective, and, most importantly, they work.
What truly sets him apart is his ongoing support. If we’re on the road and encounter a challenging situation, we know we can call him for advice. That level of dedication and commitment to his clients is rare and invaluable, especially for full-time travelers like us.
I learned more in 2 hours than I have my entire life with Jeff. After listening to Jeff I felt so much more confident in training my dog. I can’t wait to see her improvement after we do our homework this week
Thank you for the kind words Antonio! I'm excited to watch Opal grow in the coming months and look forward to her having better visits with your family.
many thanks,
Jef

Jef has been a blessing to us with our four month old Maltipoo. I researched many trainers and I am so glad we chose to go with Bark Busters and Jef. He taught us about communication, leadership, specific training techniques, he helps us anticipate our puppy’s behavior changes as he grows and gives us homework and a training schedule that is tailored to our puppy and family needs. After our first session with him the overall feeling in our house was SO much less stressful. Jef is available when we have a concern or if we need help. He is prompt, thorough and very kind. We love Jef!
Amazing! I was in fear of being served a 7-day move out notice and was rescued by Jef and Bark Buster’s unique program. He is literally teaching an old dog lots of new tricks…. I’m the dog! He opened up his schedule for a quick appointment, he is professional, well spoken and very caring. My babies are much better behaved and all of our stress levels have gone way down in just one week! We work right inside my apartment with NO treats, NO clickers, NO waiting for a class opening. Jeff is a super hero!
Thank you so much, Susan! I appreciate your kind words, but need to point out that you have done all the work. Coco and Joy are so happy to have you as their lead dog. Great job!

Jeff Evans with Bark Busters is amazing!! He trains with kindness and such great training exercises which he follows up with in writing to help train us humans as well. Couldn't recommend Bark Busters any more highly.
Thank you so much, Lisa! You have done such good work with Archie. Reach out anytime you have questions or need help.
