Miguel was very patient and thorough with our two corgies and with us! We loved that you come out to the home vs our past dog training experiences were in distracting groups full if other dogs. This was 1/1 with my husband and I and our dogs. He was very mindful of our home and removed his shoes on entry and brought them to our back yard. Our pups were very responsive to the training and are still responding to our commands on day two! Miguel also recommended a special leash and sent a link we asked for as well. We highly recommend him and Bark Busters and I immediately made a Facebook post to that effect with a link to them and Miguel’s card. You will not be disappointed!
Miguel was easy to work with, and very knowledgeable about dogs. He came with tools to help us get control of a dog we had just adopted. He took his time with us and our dog. He returned phone calls. He gave us good information about the breed and what to expect.
With Miguel's help, things improved within a week.
Miguel is fantastic! We appreciate how he took the time to get to know us and our dog, Lola. And customized things to fit our situation. He also made the ‘homework’ easy to add to our routine while still having plenty of time to play or snuggle with our girl. Lola quickly dropped some bad habits and now knows we will be her protector. She doesn’t need to protect us. We are more confident taking her anywhere now too. We highly recommend Miguel!
What a difference a lesson can make in your life and the life of your dog! I didn't realize how much I was allowing the dog to control our household until Miguel came over. Now that the tables have turned, what a great dynamic we all have! No more barking, growling at other dogs on leash and ignoring my commands. Oh and the door manners -- it's like night and day. If your waiting to train your dog, don't.
Wow! what an amazing trainer. Miguel was able to turn my crazy, out of control Lab into a sweet, calm, gentle dog. I know this will take practice and time on my end to keep this going, however I'm already blown away with how well these methods work.
If you are in need of a great dog/people trainer, I would call Miguel and Bark Busters immediately, you won’t regret it. Thanks Miguel for everything .
WOW! We highly recommend Bark Busters training with Dick Messenger. After trying all sorts of other training techniques that didn't work, from day one after our first training session at home with Dick, our little Lexi was a changed dog. Lexi is relaxed, happy and obedient, and the nuisance barking has stopped. She is a pleasure to take on walks, and training is actually fun! We will continue to reap the positive rewards for years to come.
Dick obviously knew what he was doing from the moment we started. He trained us on how to train our dogs. We now walk our dogs with ease, set our own schedule (instead of scheduling around them!), and they are not jumping on us or our friends. Whatever dog problems we have he has the answer for, we recommend him highly!!
I cannot say enough great things about experience with Dick and his training our puppy Duke. He was thorough, sincere and easy to follow. We learned so much in those couple of hours, I am amazed at Duke's progress already. We decided to include our 9 year old in the training and Dick was patient and kind, and so easy to work with. My daughter is doing such a great job, and we can only thank Dick for that. Dick helped us come up with a plan on how to proceed with our puppy and we're excited to complete our daily trainings with Duke as he gets better with every day.
Aubre, Jason and Selah are ALL-IN with training their 3 month old chocolate lab puppy. They caught on quickly and are resolved to do their part to work with Duke. A total pleasure working with their whole family. Enjoy your new dog Wesslings! :-)

We are so happy with Bark Busters and Dick Messenger!
PermalinkDick is a dynamic, educational and empowering teacher/trainer.
He most certainly respects and honors the Bark Busters methodology …..
….. and the results of our dog’s training are amazing!
