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.
PermalinkOne 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!

Aurora already seems to understand the changes we have practiced. I feel confident and set up well with the correct tools. My family already looks more at ease with Aurora and training. Thank you!

Dramatic change in our dog in just one session! Stopped lunging on the leash immediately. We look forward to a more calm family situation.

All I can say is 'amazing'! Calling Scot was the best thing we have done. In just three hours we learned more that 2 semester of puppy classes and 12 weeks of intensive training. We have a 2.5 year old Frenchie (girl). She is very smart and 'bulldog' stubborn. She has had BSA surgery, cryosurgery on her eyelashes 3 times, takes allergy meds and allergy shots and can be a handful. She is aggressive to the point of biting us. In just three hours we have made more progress with her. No doubt there is a lot more work to be done, and being committed and consistent is the key. But knowing exactly what to do and how to do it has already moved us in a very positive direction.
PermalinkDon't waste your money and time on puppy classes that use 'treat training' or on intensive training where you drop off your dog. Just call Scot. Your life and your dog's life will be happier and healthier! It is natural training (not using fear or pressure) that makes so much sense when you understand it.

We reached out to Bark Busters for help with our Frenchie, Winston, who struggles with reactivity and a bit of separation anxiety. Working with Amanda Adams has been an absolute game changer!
From the very first session, Amanda made us feel supported and confident. She took the time to really understand Winston’s triggers and gave us practical, easy-to-follow tools that made a difference almost immediately. Winston has become noticeably calmer on walks, and we’ve seen huge improvements in how he handles new situations and being on his own.
Amanda’s patience, knowledge, and genuine love for dogs shine through in every interaction. We can’t thank her enough for helping us bring out the best in Winston. If you’re struggling with reactivity, anxiety, or just want a happier, more relaxed dog, we 100% recommend Bark Busters and Amanda!
Winston gives it two paws up 🐾🐾
