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!

Jef was an excellent trainer. He was very professional , and also made it fun to try and train our little Luna . Thank you Jef for training US , so that we know how to train our golden retriever. I can already see where I need to work on some things and also I can see a difference in Luna .
I am very happy that I chose Bark Busters. My dog, Rocket, is 8 years old, and I was a bit skeptical about him being trained. Firstly, and most important to me is a humane, non-shock training program.
Rocket has anxiety leaving the house: he doesn't want to walk far from the house; putting on his brakes usually, one house away. He's also anxious riding in the car.
Bark Busters' approach to training was different from what I expected - their six week program for Rocket is not only geared towards changing those behaviors, but to also help relieve him of some of his responsibilities (you'll understand if you reach out to them). We're teaching Rocket (and myself!) about boundaries, appropriate behavior and reactions.
Jef is very knowledgeable in this approach and I am definitely seeing results and am looking forward to our continued sessions and improvement!
Thanks Rich! I'm really happy to hear. I'm excited for the next lesson.

Jeff was absolutely amazing with Barkbusters! I have two red heelers and a mini aussie all from rescue that needed some help. I love how the training is set for the owners like myself to become a better pack leader for the dogs. A day after our first session and I am already seeing a difference in how to better communicate and have more relaxed, calm environment. Jeff was very informative and was absolutely great with my dogs as well. Especially Nezuko who is afraid of strangers she responded to him almost immediately. I would recommend Barkbusters any day!
Your opinion means a lot. Thank you. Your dogs are lucky to have found you and I’m excited to see them learn to trust you more and more.
All the best,
Jef

Jef was excellent! It was our first meeting with him yesterday. Very friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He explained our dogs psychology and why they are acting the way they are and how to correct their behavior. We are just on step 1 at this point but are looking forward to continue working with Jef.
Hi Brian,
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! I really enjoyed meeting and working with you and Christie. I am excited for Koda and Kayoke to learn to trust their humans and live their best dog lives.
thanks again!
